Progress Report, 28/06 - 24

Hello everyone and welcome to another brief progress report!

The heat is beating down on us up here without much in the way of mercy, but I have none the less managed to get some more stuff sorted this week. First off, the Tifa Scenario got some more love since my neighbors have seen fit to resume their renovations, ensuring I could not dedicate the day to Ivy lip sync work, where I now have hopes I'll be able to deliver Tifa's Scenario prior to the estimated week of the 15:th, but we'll see how the planets align on that matter.

More importantly perhaps, I've come to grasp with the fundamentals of clothes fitting, proper. Above is Rachel by Keyd10iori but fitted with polished up boots, arm wraps and her shoulder guard from an XPS rip of her DOA model. With some custom weight painting, they seem to perform adequately enough, meaning I've opened up the avenue of properly transplanting existing clothes onto models, even between various model makers or from outside the Blender scene entirely. Hope to put this new understanding of things well to use going into the future.

Pertinent to the Alley Crew ($10 tier), I appear unable to properly edit the previous poll posts, thus, since the Themes of animations are very recently bound by a rotation instead of a vote, I'd like to officially announce the rotation list down below - now with the actual cooldowns, as they were, properly taken into account:

SMALL MONSTERS
LARGE MONSTERS
ALIENS/FANTASY RACES
MEDIUM MONSTERS
HUMANS

For the Alley Crew curious about its workings, this is simply the order the themes will appear in, and it will move down to the next Theme after a poll and its corresponding animation is finalized. One it reaches the bottom, as it just did with "HUMANS", we'll start back over at the top, and on it will go.

Another addition to the gallery has also been made, with Sarah Bryant joining the ladies in their pursuits. For those curious as to the full gallery of ladies, here's a handy link to the google doc:

The occasional gaps in between the lady posts are owed to some quirk of the google doc structure - it appears it does not matter how I arrange things, shrink images, or add/remove links, as the document will simply arbitrarily decide that some sections require a massive gap down to the next one. The wonders of technology.

I believe that is it for this week. Sore from the gym, I would like to, as always, extend my thanks and appreciation for your continued support and for all of your kind words. The heat remains a stubborn foe, and I must go eat to sustain this mortal shell of a body. Hope you're doing well out there, all things considered.

Take care of yourselves, and each other!
