Hairy Problem

So I redid Suki's hair with the new script I paid for (you guys paid for)...  But I was having the hardest time coaxing the hair into looking good for rendering.  It always spreads the hair evenly and looking broom-like.  I spent hours banging on it.. After some sleep and tinkering wi...

Shoulder Test 2

Here's the 2nd test I did.. Adding a low resolution patch at the crease area.  The twisting, pinching deformation problem is gone.  The crease where the chest meets the shoulder is still a problem but that is just an issue of placement of the patch geometry.  No biggie.  I am now...

Shoulder FEM Test

Attached is a test I did will what could be full-body Finite Element Method (FEM) sims.  The muscular body is driven by a skinny inner body, which is why this would make muscle growth easier.  This also makes jiggling muscles very easy (not shown here).

There is one problem though, and t...

Help Me Choose Who is Next!

Would you guys (and gals) be interested in another animation with Jo?  Or would you like me to take the plunge with Suki?

While Jo is very cute and I am fond of her, I'm interested in making a new character for this reason:

The discovery of Finite Element Method soft body sims and the p...

Two Dollars

This is what the $2 section for #46 looked like.  I'm thinking about retiring the $2 tier.  Making screenshots from the animations is a hassle anyway.

Did I miss anyone?

Please send me a private message on Patreon if you were expecting to get JoReturns and haven't gotten it yet.  Flash versions were just sent out.

Thank you all so very much!

Sending Jo Returns Out!

By now if you donated to Jo Returns Parts 1-2 Deluxe you should have it by now.. If not please send me a private message here and we'll get it sorted.  I'll get the Flash version sent out tomorrow after some sleep. :)

Feel free to leave any flowery / critical comments below if you liked it.. ...

Ugh

Got everything done.. Sound... Video editing, compression... It was just about ready to go out when I spotting a couple of places where I missed some spots when rendering version 2 that needed to cover up version 1.  So I need to re-render a few frames, maybe 12 frames in total.  So sorry....

Animation Progress

Rendering all done of course..  I'm probably 70% done with the sound effects.  Getting close!

Render Status Update

I posted earlier that the rendering was done.  Well I have bad news.  I need to re-render 84 frames (for 3 passes)..  Bit of a problem with the camera zooming that was left over from the previous Jo animation.  Sorry I didn't catch this problem until now. :/

I'll keep you all p...

Important Message For Newcommers

...and for everyone else.  First of all..  Welcome!  Thank you so much for showing interest in my work! :)

I want to let everyone know because some of you are probably joining because you want to see Jo Returns Parts 1 & 2.  The one I just put out the trailer for.

I d...

Cool new script

A friend of mine who uses the same 3D software I use but is more of a programmer/scripter made a little utility for me..  I had to pay him $40 to make it so this is once again thanks to all of you. :)

It's a script that will help me more easily / quickly / effectively blend between stiffer ha...

Uncensored Preview of Jo Returns on PornHub!

Don't watch the 2nd part if you want to avoid the futa stuff. :)

Render Progress

Background: About 50% Complete

Foreground Version 1: Complete

Foreground Version 2: Complete

That's right.   Everything is done but the fuggin' background. :)  There is $89 render credit left from my raffle money.  I'll save that for the next animation. &...

Render Status

Background: Still rendering...  Maybe 35% done.

Version 1 Foreground: Complete!

Version 2 Foreground: Preparing for the Render Farm now

Spending My Raffle Money!

I'm now rendering Jo's new animation on the render farm with my surprise gift of render credits.  It's estimating the whole sequence (one version anyway) will be done in roughly 10 hours.  Holy shit that's fast!

Oh wow I just won a raffle!

I just got $300 credit with the render farm I used in the past.  Sweet!  I'll use it to get Jo rendered up. :)

Yay!

Got all of Jo's animation done.  All I need to do is finalize the background and lighting.  Should have rendering started this evening!

Almost ready to Render

Sorry it's taking so long!!

Setback a false alarm.. I think

Okay sorry about that... I think I made a mistake and panicked a bit there.. Seems like most everything is here..  That is to say I did not use Metamorphic for the rigging of Jo..  Metamorphic was attached but the majority of her joint morphs are still in tact using the old standard morphs...

Setback!

Here I was thinking I was just about done..  I went to turn on Metamorphic and it crashed.  Looking inside Metamorphic all of the sculpts I made were gone..  Poof.  I don't know what happened.  Everything got de-assigned and obliterated.

The character animation is still go...

Release #48 - Suki's Debut Part 2 of 2

Thank you all for your support and patience as I get caught up!  Without you I am nothing!

Jo's Progress

Just finished animating Jo's facial animation.  Now, now..  Not THAT kind of facial..  You know what I mean.  I'll need a liquid plugin for the other kind!

Anyway..  This is where she really springs to life so this is exciting to see.   Still a few things to do y...

Splitting up Jo's Next Animation

Hey all...

The animation is progressing well.  I've been wrestling with this back and forth in my mind for a few weeks now.  I really don't want to do this.. I want to always deliver bigger, better, more to you..  But fact is I -AM- quite a bit behind schedule.  And if I want t...

Comparing Cleaned-Up Animation To Raw Motion Capture Data

Still have more clean-up to do.  This is such a long animation (the final, not this attachment) !

Streaming for a bit

If you want to watch my cleaning up motion capture data:

http://picarto.tv/cgman

Exciting stuff I tell you! (not really)

Parts Reprivatized

Jo's next animation will be my first animation with "full frontal" nudity.  Jo's private bits were completely re-modeled and textured.

Poll Results and Anim Progress

I am in the middle of (well mostly done with) retargeting the mocap data to Jo's rig.  There will be clean-up to do yet.

Now... There were MORE than 25 votes.  Unfortunately this site had a "gotcha."  They wanted me to pay for a premium subscription to see all of the results.  ...

Here's Another Pole

I mean poll.
