Forearms (Again)

This is pretty good.. Just gotta fix one little thing.

Forearm rebooted

It's been frustrating.  The last post showed the forearms looking pretty good but on closer inspection they were not coming together right.. They stubbornly refused to cover one part of the arm and all bunched up.  I think it's because they are so long and skinny they are difficult to c...

Forearms Improved

This is much, much better.  I need to make another muscle group or two to fill in the gaps.  But I'm feeling better about this.

Forearmed is Forewarned

Hey all,

I know I've been quiet.  The forearm, in the approach I am using, is fantastically complex.  I'm almost done;  Maybe another day.  This should yield very impressive results, beyond anything I've done before.

Other than that I am talking with a voice actor ...

Raina UpperArms

Been a while since I could work on Raina!  Raina's upper arms are now muscled and those muscles are rigged.  It's kinda subtle but if you look carefully you can see her bicep muscles contract and her tricep muscles elongate as she bends her arm.  This of course will be more obvious...

All Talia Showertime Rewards Sent Out

.....most likely.  I've just sent out the Silent Flash versions.  Please see my previous post.. Same thing applies.  Send me a message if you want to make an arrangement.  Thanks!  Now I can get back to Raina! :)

Talia Showertime Deluxe Versions Sent Out

Hi there!

Unless I have made an error, anyone who donated to get the Deluxe version of Talia Showertime parts 1 & 2 (#055 & #056) should now have it waiting in their email inbox (or their spam box).  I haven't gotten to the Silent Flash versions yet.

Note that I am lookin...

Sorry

Hey sorry she's not done yet, yesterday I had a lot of nonsense I had to attend to.  But I'm deep into editing sound now and today I spent nearly $15 on sound effects from a service site. :)  It's sounding really cool so far.  More needed that I will record myself.

Talia Showertime

I am pleased to report that Talia's Showertime has just finished rendering.  I need to add a number of sound effects so please afford me more time, thank you!

Raina Update

Here's her arm-in-progress.

Also Talia's Showertime looks like it will be done rendering in 24 hours.

Cheers!

Bad-Ass Back!

This is so bad-ass!  I re-engineered her trapezius (upper back) muscles.  Now it is quite close to how the real muscles work and should yeild amazing results when grown.  There are a couple of problem spots to fix before I finish up her arms.  So bad ass!

Raina Progress

Deltoids and other muscles around the area added.  This is gonna be so cool!

Pectoralis Majoris (Redux)

Nailed it!

Pectoralis Major

Her chest muscles are proving to be quite a challenge.  I've been working on these all day.  It's not good yet, but I have some more ideas I want to try.

Raina Test

Here's another little test clip... Pectoralus Minor muscles with some test growth.

Raina Update

Good morning!

Last night I set up her standard muscles to follow along and you can see them working in the clip.  Also I modeled a FEM model for her gut and she now has better deformations in there.

Her back muscles are not moving because those are special simulated muscles. &nbs...

New Approach To Back Muscles

Good morning.  Here I have rigged her latissimus dorsi muscles.  I'm using a new approach which is much more close to how they actually work.  After the growth the scapulas sliding around under neath them should look....quite impressive.

EDIT: I am going to do a similar appro...

Muscle Modeling Turntable Anim

Shrink-Wrapping Test #2

This will look weird because it's literally just skin and bones..  But the test went as well as I expected.  Next time I will use a bit more polygon density on the skin.

I'm Blazin' Through This!

Howdy!  I've been a busy little bee.  Since my last update I finished modeling the cage model, then I transferred the bone weights from the ribcage and fat to the rest of the cage model and cleaned it up good (TorsoDeformations.mp4)!

Then I made joint deformation morphs for her sh...

Reward Tiers Edited for Sales Tax Changes

So I've just edited my reward tiers for those who are in the united states.  Patreon has informed you (and I) that sales tax will be collected in addition to the specified value of your pledge.  They all offer these three perks:

1. General Support

2. Behind the Scenes Access...

Raina's Right Hand Is Rigged

So glad I got LW2020.. It makes rigging easier.  Parts of it.  I gotta make the left hand but that won't take as long as the right hand.

Updates!

Hey!

I gotta go mow the damn lawn, but before I do, here's some updates.

Raina now has a fully rigged spine.  I just modified her ribcage to be expandable from breathing and diaphragm controls.  It's a slightly more elegant setup than Talia's system had.  The attached a...

She's Really Skinny But She Has A Nice Personality

More to come!

Hair Progress!

Her hair model is done and fully animatable.  The sim looks amazin' with self collisions, but it does sim verrrry slowly..  That's a bummer.

I want to make some tweaks to the hair and model the lighter whispy hair elements for around the hairline.  But I am very pleased!

First Hair Test

I believe this time, for the first time, I have self-collisions working.  This allows the hair to pile up and look thicker.

The Invisible Girl

Just a fun render of Raina's insides.  I want her skinny form to be dramatically skinny...Emaciated.  To further contrast to what she becomes.

Also I added more muscle groups in her neck and her trapezius muscles.

Raina's First Skin Tech Test Successful!

It works!  First comes the raw sim, then you'll see it shrink-wrap.  So cool!  So next-gen!  This is how you do muscle growth properly!

Sorry The Test Isn't Ready Yet

Hey all,

I know I said I would try to get you a test of the skin tech I have in mind yesterday but I couldn't get everything put together fast enough.  I wanted to test it in a fairly complex area, the region between the clavicles and the base of the jaw.  So I needed to get the r...

Legs done!

Look how complex the nodes are for her legs.  Crazy huh?  They are all done except for her toes.  I've attached an animated look at her thigh deformations.

I got some bad news the other day.  After weeks of the Storm dev telling me the Point Deformer feature will be read...
