FF14 Zero Animations + Hardware Report

"Shall we disrobe as well?" and we know exactly what reply we'd give to Zero. Greetings.~ the cool big girl is here.

MEGA

..I'm not entirely happy with the carrying pose end result, but any more tinkering would waste more time and dull my senses.... so I'll just practice again another time. Also, the BJ scene was actually scrapped because I couldn't get the breast physics to work exactly like I wanted. I intended to replace it with the paigrind animation, but decided to include it as well. I wasted some extra hours just tweaking physics settings lol. I still need more time to practice.

I also got suggestion for Zero and Y'shtola Threesome. ngl I really like the sound of them together. not promising anything soon, but I'll add it to the to-do list for now. I might want to use Y'shtola's 14 hair for that though. just to match with Zero look.

!!HARDWARE REPORT!!

It's time for another report of my progress upgrading the Animating and Rendering workstation PC. This won't be possible without your kind support and donations.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! m(_ _)m \(^_^)/ m(_ _)m

The build is pretty much finished, but with the sudden switch to AMD DDR5 instead of Intel DDR4. Initially, I wanted to build a DDR4 workstation with huge capacity of RAM using i7 13700, 15 13600 or i9 12900 as the CPU. But apparently, INTEL has major instability and degradation issues on their 13 and 14 gen CPUs recently. And I don't want to risk anything, so I switched to AMD for this upgrade.

I'm going with AM5's equivalent for i9 12900 or i5 13600 in Blender : RYZEN 9 7900 non X

Benchmark source: Gamers Nexus

Here is the full spec

- Mobo : MSI B650M Mortar Wifi.

- CPU : Ryzen 9 7900.

- RAM : Delta TForce (2X16GB) 32GB DDR5.

- STORAGE : WD Black SN_850x 1TB.

- PSU : Montech TITAN GOLD 850w.

- GPU : Zotac 4070 Super.

- Cooler : Stock Wraith Prism.

- Case : ASUS AP201.

So far with the stock cooler, the temp is acceptable during render. I might need an AIO later, but everything is looking good for now :

I'm not overclocking, and I don't want huge electricity bill....I'm not rich (yet). so I chose the non X cpu and the most power efficient PSU I could find. Stability is my most priority for productivity. I'm still planning to upgrade my ram to 128gb in the future, but as of now, 4x32gb DDR5 RAM price can get you a full functioning DDR4 PC. And I heard AM5 have memory instability issues with 4 sticks. so I'll play it safe for now and go with 32gigs.

I'll probably sell my old PC to buy more storage to contain all the 3d assets and stuff.

there always not enough storage. and more storage and backup is better.

Once again I THANK YOU! m(_ _)m

I haven't tested the rig to it's limit yet, but I'm excited to see what I can learn and do with the new rig from now on.

=================================================================

NEW MODEL

Our new model this week is Penelo from FF12.

Obviously, her head here is from the PS2. I did my best trying to match the nude body.

I had to skip her attire. unlike Ashe's, it has fewer geometry...90% of it is just flat textures. it looked really bad. I did create normal maps for her hair and head because there was none.

I believe that's it for 12. unless I want to also rig Mjrn and Jote. pretty sure someone rigged Mjrn for SFM in the past. I'd have to look her up. I'll probably use human hands and feet again though just like how I did Fran. but we'll see.

=================================================================

UP NEXT

Cindy is next. along with another Aranea still in her sexy school uniform for August XV. So that means Jessie's mom will have to wait a bit longer. but not much longer because I plan to animate her after Cindy. I managed to extract her house and her comatose husband. so yeah...a bit dark, but it is how it is with MILF for me. I do have a little bit of a sadistic side if it's not apparent already lol.

That is all for now.

Thank you so much for your kind support and Donations as always m(_ _)m

Keep on fighting and good luck to you all, stay safe! see you next week!!
