Discord Extras {April 2022}

Welcome all, to your monthly collection of Discord Images! ^o^

This month was a month full of Environment and Prop projects, I guess I really did need a break from Character Modeling. If you thought that Characters and figures where the only things I create then you don't know me very well. :P

Onward to the Images!

Images 1-3

I was very lucky to finally get my hands on a Landscaping Plug-in for DAZ Studio I've had my eye on for years, during their March Madness sale for super cheap! The creator of the plug-in also released a new plugin with capabilities to create and populate massive Environments, which a friend of very generously decided to gift to me (Thank you so much!) :D

I've been working on transferring/recreating my Morphological Institute Environment, using the new programs over the past week or so. These three images show some of my progress thus far. Its so great to be able to finally show off parts of the area that used to look horrible using my old methods.^_^

Images 4-6

These Three Images feature the completed Patient Room for my collection of Morphological Institute Interiors. This will likely be the Final Version of one of the more interesting Patient Rooms of the Mammalian Ward, I really like the overall room layout. ^_^

Image 7

A quick Bed Table I created for use in the MI Patient Rooms.

Images 8&9

The topic was brought up of how the MI's Floors might prove difficult for animal patients to walk on. I had always imagined they would be given some sort of grip booties to wear, just never got around to designing a pair. So what better time than now I thought! Designing props and clothing to solve issues has always been a passion of mine! The Anthro and TF genres provide so many unique design and problem solving opportunities. Just one of the many things that draws me to the genres!  ^o^

Image 10

I felt like Challenging myself with a modeling project and decided to try my hand at an steampunk style Airship. Some friends on another Discord server were wanting a visual representation of such a ship for their Group Writing Project, so I decided to create an Visual interpretation for them. ^_^

Images 11&12

Some more full body fur tests using Daz Studio's Strand-based Hair System. And my Wolf Gal looking cute. :P 

Images 13-17

This is a collection of Experimental renders I did of Landscapes generated by the Aforementioned DAZ Studio Plug-ins. The last one was something I thought was funny. Created while I was experimenting, trying to learn how weight maps and the plug-in worked. lol

It's so amazing to be able to go back to my roots as a landscape painter and create landscapes again. This new software is going to allow me to add so much to my future 3D works and scene capabilities!^_^

Images 18&19

These last two images are another result of a Discord conversation, where the Dexterity of Paw Hands/Anthro Hands, came into question. With the use of rigged 3D models and joint movement restrictions, exploring the dexterity of fantastical anatomy, and just movement in general to determine, viability and realism, is completely opened up for study. ^_^ As you can see here, such hands are actually very capable! 

All this, was of course, originally posted at the Wilderness Discord Community over the course of the past month, a lot of these projects were streamed there as well, I try to stream as much as I can during the later part of the day (7pm-4am PST), during the later half of each month (15th-Onward). If you are not a Member yet and would like to become one, catch my streams, or just hang out with myself and people of like mind here is your link to join! https://discord.gg/9RtA2ec

Thanks again everyone and a warm welcome to all my new Patrons too! I could never thank you all enough for the support you've so generously decided to give me!^_^
