Raina Update

Hey all I've just finished finalizing the audio.  Time to edit this all together and start sending it out to those who wanted it.  Sorry for all the delays but it's that time of year again and I'm getting issued various projects to do out in the yard like raking, picking up piles, and raking and other things like raking.  Unfortunately I cannot turn these projects down. :/  I'll get this out as soon as I can, send me a private message if you have any questions regarding ge...

Audio Progress

I have all of the sound effects done except for her muscle flex sound effects.  Getting there. :)

Raina Render Progress

Hey all,

Raina's Stream will be done rendering in a few hours.  But I need to finalize it with sound effects before sending it out to you all.  So we're quite close. :)

Lat Deformation

It's not -perfect- but it's not too shabby.  I may dink with it a bit more.

Big Changes Under the Hood

Hey all...

Quick render update for Raina's 1st animation: Rendering frame 6377 of 7600.

So I am doing some things differently for Raina's 2nd animation.  I rigged her legs of course.. And I re-rigged her arms.  I did this because I wasn't happy with the deformations I was getting in the first animation.  Her original arms were all done with soft body sims reacting to a skinny core armature.  This time around everything is done by hand and this is giving me more...

Raina Rendering Progress

Hey all..  I couple of you have messaged me asking how the rendering is going.  She's on frame 5760 out of 7600.  I don't know the day it will be finished.

Meanwhile in her 2nd animation last night I finished (re)rigging her arms.  I've been in contact with her voice actor and she's ready to go.  I am too except I haven't decided on what the script will be yet.

More to come, cheers!

Release #062 - Nadia Untitled Animation Pt 1

This is an advanced posting for a forthcoming animation.  Thank you for your patience with me in my effort to get caught up.  Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.  Thanks so much for your support!!

Piggies

This is [largely] the conclusion of the rigging of the muscular leg.  This is the first time I've boned and weighted individual toes like this.  The skinny leg rigging remains but some of this will carry over to that.

I will be posting another advanced "Paid Creation" tomorrow evening.  If you don't want to be charged, then you can temporarily withdraw your donation pledge until after the 1st.  But for all of you who can afford to continue to support my efforts here ...

Get a Leg Up

There, that's done.  She doesn't need two legs, right?

Leg Rigging In Progress

Hey all!  Here's a look at her leg rigging.  I've chosen to move away from the soft body approach and use more traditional methods, I find I get more control.  I'll still need to use soft bodies for the lats and chest.

I've modified my method this go around and I think I have shaved a bit of time off of what is needed to do this.

Meanwhile in Raina's 1st animation rendering; she's on frame 4611 of 7600.  So it's chugging along.  I wish I could afford a 2nd...

Votes Flipped!

Now 35 to 33.  I've been modeling her boobs, now I guess I gotta wait and see how this settles.  We can be sure of one thing; the Supreme Court is not going to touch this case.

Vote Controversy

Well well well... I've been informed that Patreon polls let you vote on more than one item.  Can I ask everyone to please only vote on one item?  If you voted on more than one please go back and change your vote so you only pick one.  We can do this using the honor system, right?

Poll Results

After a fair number of votes this is how I am reading the poll.  I hope none of you find my interpretation to be fraudulent.  I swear to you, neither Dominion, Venezuela or China were involved in ballot processing in any way.

The highest vote category is to keep her the same.  23 votes.  However; If you add up all votes to give her boobs in one form or another you have 34 votes vs 23 votes to keep her the same.  Among the votes for boobs they skew towards larger...

Raina's Chest

Raina is quite flat in her first animation (before her chest muscles grow).  Would you like her to keep the same design for her 2nd animation or would you prefer she was bestowed with some boobitude?  I'll go with whatever ya'll decide.

Standing Tall

Hey all!  We have passed the halfway point on Raina's first animation rendering.  Here's another work-in-progress look at her new muscular legs.  I hope you are all doing well!

She's Got Legs

Hey everybody.  The rendering is still ongoing.  It's on frame 2345 out of around 7600..  So quite a ways to go.  Meanwhile, you may recall I was only showing Raina's upper body for her first outing.  I've just finished sculpting her legs in their skinny form, and I am currently working on the muscular version so they can grow.  There will also be a flexed variant of the muscular legs.

More to come!

Experiment

Hey all.  Raina is still rendering.  I had this thing I thought of while working on Raina; to be able to sculpt a character that is so big her default pose already has her masses pressed up against each-other.  Essentially to break the "size barrier."

The attached test isn't quite pressing up against itself from the start but that can be done easily.  The main concern is how stable the self-collisions will be.  As you can see, it's a bit sticky..  That is a...

Raina Progress

Hey all..

Hair sim is all done.  I am trying to optimize the rendering because as it is right now, the animation would take 72 days to render.  The hair is the main killer.

I also might want to populate her desk with some more things as it looks very polished but quite bare.

So I'll let you know how it goes.

Hairy Breakthrough

For the first time, it appears I have achieved stable hair sims with self-collisions active.  The trick was to make the model 10 times larger.  This is going to take a few days to finish similating.

Raina Progress!

I am pleased to announce the clothing is now simmed.  Still a couple of things to do yet, namely her hair and rendering.

More to come!

Raina Update!

Hey!  I've just finished simming Raina's pants..  Shirt next!  Her shirt will not be there the whole time, but it's more complex with ripping.  More to come!

Magic Fingers

Fingers all animated on the right hand.  If my math is correct I have one more to go!

For My Friends in the USA

I am going to once again break protocol but I am doing this because I care for your well being.  I strongly suggest you quickly do the following:

1. Take cash out of the bank

2. Buy two weeks worth of food and water

3. Be prepared for power and running water outages

I'm hearing from multiple (over 4) sources the Insurrection Act was signed.  Maybe nothing will happen and you will be well-stocked with food.  Maybe supply lines will be cut and we won't be ...

Raina Digits

Hey all,

Just letting you know how it's going.  I've finished animating her hands, and I am halfway done animating the fingers on her right hand.  Tedious stuff!  It will be cool though.  More to come!

Release #061 - Untitled Raina Animation Pt 3

This is an advanced posting for a forthcoming animation.  Thank you for your patience with me in my effort to get caught up.  Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.  Thanks so much for your support and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raina Progress!

Hey all, Happy Eve of New Years Eve.  Here's hoping 2021 is better than whatever the hell this was.

Anyway, I have just finished all of Raina's muscle flexing and muscle growth.  All of her body is done except her hands... Hands always need to be done last.  After that I sim a shirt on her (that later gets ripped off), and sim her hair.

More to come!

Raina Progress

Hello!  Just letting you know what's-a-happen'.  I've got Raina's biceps sculpted for flexing, and I am currently 2/3rds done sculpting her pecs for the same.  After which I just need to do her abs.

I also wanted to wish all of you a very happy holiday season, whichever holiday you prefer to celebrate.  This is a bit early, but I am intending to post a paid creation on the last day of the year..  Meaning Patreon will charge you for whatever you currently have as...

So Congested...

Hard to focus on work.

Raina Progress

Howdy!

I am pleased to announce the muscular animation is done, I need to make the skinny version of her so she can grow.  I also need to sculpt and rig her flexes.  More to come!

Raina Update

Hey all...

Well this project was no cakewalk.  I tried using the simulated skin... That didn't work.  Then I tried retooling it for Storm to make a full body softbody effect.  That didn't work either.  In Storm's case it's either I am too stupid to figure it out, or the documentation is not there yet.  Storm is still in development.

So I just retooled her again.  Basically she is now using the same type of tech that Suki used.  I am almost done m...
