Suki's Eyes Done!

Just finished animating her eyeballs and eyelids!  Hair sim next!

Suki Progress!

Camera is animated.  I'm pretty pleased with it there are some cool fish-eye lens close-up shots.

Aaaand just to mix things up I went and simulated her jean shorts.

Getting there! :D

Suki Progress Report!

I am a very happy little artist.  Suki's body is complete from head to toe, growth included with two exceptions: Eyes and breast sims.  I need to animate the camera before the eyes so she can look at the camera now and then.  Also I need to sim clothing on her that she can rip off of her. :)

More to come!

Suki Update and Crazy Lightwave News!

Hello!  Just popping in to tell you I've hit another big milestone.  Suki's body geometry is fully animated (growth included) from the top of her abs to the base of her toes.  I am making some final adjustments to her hands and fingers now that her legs are in place before I finalize her upper body.

It's been a topsy-turvy day for me.  NewTek, the parent company that makes my 3D software, Lightwave, was acquired today by larger compa...

Suki Milestone!

Muzzle (mouth & nose) animation complete!  I went and created morphs and controls for a bunch of new things..  Pursed lips, nose sneer, F phonem, etc..  Is this the most expressive character animation I've done yet?  Could be... :)

Suki Update

I am halfway done animating her mouth...  Also I have created two more mouth morph shapes for additional expressions.  More to come!

Oh Yes!

Work is progressing well on Suki.  There was an issue that bugged me about her smile from the previous animation so I went and made a new morph shape and modified her rig to install it so she smiles better now in my opinion.

I am currently doing her mouth animation for the whole sequence. Here's a fun preview attached. :)

Suki Report!

Howdy!  In recent day I animated her neck and head movements.  Then I created a library of female grunting sounds.. And then edited together her vocals audio track.  Last time I did the audio last but really this is how it should be done.  Now I can modify her head animation to further synch with the audio as well as animate her breathing to match the audio.

More to come as she gets closer to completion!

Suki Animation Milestone

Phew!  Major milestone today.  Her hands are fully cleaned up & fingers animated for the entire sequence.  Some re-adjustments will be necessary once her skin is in place but that was the plan all along.  The neck and head animation cleanup is next.

Why did we evolve with so many fingers???

Suki Update!

Phew!  I've just finished animating Suki's hands for the most difficult portion of the animation; fingers included.  The hands aren't animated for the rest of the animation but compared to what I just did, the rest is cake.

After the hands are done I need to do her neck & head..  Clavicles..  And then I think I am ready for facial animation.  Then it's sim time as I round the corner towards the finish.  Still a good bit to go but I am eating away at it....

Release #051 Suki's 3rd (Untitled) Animation Part 1 of 2

Thank you all for your amazing support and patience.  These massive efforts would no way be possible without it!  More info to come soon.

Suki Progress and Posting Paid Creation

Hey everyone,

Work is progressing on the animation, attached is a little peeky-peek.  I just showed the clip to my girlfriend and she said I am doing good work. :)

As much as I would like to sit out another month I really need the money for living.  I am going to post another paid creation at the end of this month.  This is again for an animation in advance and if you don't want to support it I fully understand.. You can terminate your donation pledge and you will s...

Suki Legs Fully Animated!

Whoo hoo!

Suki Progress Report

Heyo,

Here's some stuff I did recently..

1. Added one more pair of weights on the weightbar.

2. Modeled the little curly metal clip on the ends of the weightbar to keep the plates on.

3. Rigged the weight bar with bones so it can bend slightly due to it's heavy load.

4. I had to alter Suki's starting position after putting the weight bar prop in place.  In the attached video you can see her step into her original location.

I'm still animating the footf...

Suki Cleanup Progress

Howdy!  Here's a little progress report:

1. Elbows are cleaned up for the entire sequence.

2. Hands match the raw data for the entire sequence, though some manual adjustments will need to be done here and there (and over there as well).

3. Still early in the process of cleaning up footfalls but the hardest part is done (dat spin!).

More to come!

Suki Getting Retargeted!

Suki is in such a state!

I've just finished retargeting the cleaned up mocap data to her final rig..  Except for hand rotations..  And of course her feet.  I usually hand-animate feet using the mocap as a visual reference.  The elbows are funky because they will need hand-clean-up as well.

Overall it's fun to see her coming to life.

Mocap Repair Complete!

Pay no attention to the jittering in the hands and feet... that will be fixed as it is transferred to Suki. :)

Suki Progress Report!

Howdy!

Since the last update two things progressed:

1. Modified her hair to get rid of the unfortunate line in the back of her head seen in the last animation.

2. Recorded mocap

Now this mocap brought a new problem with it..  And I suspect this problem has been around all this time but it just wasn't as obvious as it is now..  This is because the character never bent down like this.  The spine; it's gotten all twisty.  When she is supposed to bend o...

Suki Rig Report!

News:

1. Created a skinny version of Suki

2. Created an alternate version of her skin texture for the thin shape

3. Created weightmaps for 14 body groups for #4:

4. Rigged a system of 14 sliders to automate the morphing of body parts from thin to buff, as well as dissolving in displacement maps and texture maps for said body parts.

Now I...I think I am ready to record motion capture??  We'll see.  More to come!

Shrinking Suki

Preparing Suki for muscle growth

Suki's New Veins

Suki's fierce new vascularity...  Also her skin texture was tweaked more.  Note her muscle displacements not not currently active in this image; only the veins.

Nyoh My God

I just did a mock-up test putting all of the vein elements together and it looks BAD-FUGGIN-ASS!

I need to make some adjustments but I am floored by the results.

New Approach to Veins

Howdy!

I am adding vascularity to Suki for her next animation.  And I am trying a new approach this time around.  In the past veins were painted as a single layer and used as a colour and displacement map.  This time I am drawing them in different colour groups, with the thickest veins going to a "hero" group.  Whereas before the vein lines were universally blurred, this new way will let me blur them differently for veins I want to distend more, and be more rounded. ...

Suki's New Skin Texture

Here's the result of my new approach to her skin texture.

Stop Taggin' My Heart Around!

Hello everyone,

First off, if you were expecting to get Suki's Debut and haven't gotten it yet please send me a private message.

I have begun tagging my posts..  And I have been going through from the oldest stuff and adding tags.  So far up to ~20 releases.

The most helpful tags are "Paid_Creation" which lets you see... Only the paid creations of course.  Another one of note is "Discounted."  I am lowering the price of some of the really old animations a...

New Approach to Skin

I had a bold new idea of how I want to try skin textures for this next animation.  I made a single UV map of her entire body and I will make a black and white texture mask for skin texture.  Using a weight map I can alter the texture size so the details are more tiny around the eyes and nose, etc.

Technically, it's not really possible to dynamically change a noise pattern without it looking like a funhouse mirror.  What I am doing is blending between four differently-size...

Suki Audio Progress and new software news.

This last layer of sound really makes a big difference.  I'm glad I did it and I think you will be too.  I still have some more to go yet so thanks for your patience.

In other news, Lightwave 2019 was just released.  I cannot afford it right now, but someone in my family has offered to help me get it come March.  If you want to look at the new features you can see them here:

Sorry About Yesterday's Post

I must have had a serious brain fart..  Pepper pointed out to me that there are 60 seconds in a minute.  I was using 29.97 frames per second in my calculations instead of 60 seconds per minute..  (facepalm)

Forget everything I said..  The animation is still in two parts, (#48 and #49) and I am still very much behind schedule. :/

I don't know if I will be able to make the futanari bonus.  I really wanted to. :(
