Discord Extras {December 2024}

Welcome all to the Last Patreon Update of 2024! November was much busier than usual this year and December is looking to be turning out the same way. X_X

I was able to get a few things done though, not as much as I would have liked, but least it's something. Hope you enjoy what little is here none the less. ^_^

This Spider Gal was originally something I wanted to create in October, but it ended up being my November project instead. She has been my "Chill Project" for the month working on it very slowly during my little free time. I REALLY love her and she will be mostly what is shared this time around. lol

This image in particular was a silly winter idea I had, to showcase her finished model. She decided to try and make a snow angel. She sort of succeeded in the attempt? XD

I was really impressed with how great this model turned out! Wolf Spiders are my Favorite Spider and I've always wanted to make a Character in the form of one, but the complexity and challenge always scared me off. I think I am starting to get better at insects after making a few over the years now. They still take a lot of work with all the moving parts and such, but as for pure difficulty there is not much anymore, Insects are now just time sinks pretty much. lol

This render is of her completed model, fur and all. I actually did a fur experiment with her using two separate Strand-based hairs, one for the dense fur and another for the randomly sparse Black spur like hairs, and it worked Wonderfully! ^o^

Images 3&4

Renders of Spider Gal without her fur, for a good look at her body textures. I have learned, insect textures are some of the hardest and most time consuming to make! x_x

Images 5-8

Some earlier in progress renders of Spider Gal, before I made her Textures and rigged her many additional hands.

Another quick silly I whipped together of me having a "Moon Moon" moment. For the MEME of course! XP

This modular Fence Project is another of those things I've been putting off for ages for the Morphological Institute World Environment Project! In addition to this I also worked on optimizing the environment so DAZStudio can better handle it. Got quite a bit done in that regard and this fence set played a major role in that, the old one was super high poly and ridiculously un-optimized in so many ways! Overall the Environment is now closer to finalized, but still much work to be done. ^_^

Again, Thank You All so much, for your continued support and interest in my works and I hope you all have a Wonderful rest of your Holiday Season and a Happy New Year to boot! ^o^
