MoCap and Poll Results

Hey all,

I've just recorded the Motion Capture for Jo's next animation (See attachment).  The data is ready to be re-targeted to Jo's rig.  As you can see, some clean-up will be required as usual.

As to the poll I posted earlier, the results are so far 56.8% in favor of "Yays" and ...

Please take this poll about a very sensitive area.

The subject is very, very sensitive.  So please give it careful consideration. :)

Jo Looking Back

Jo's back is getting remade from scratch for her 2nd animation.  More definition and more size!

Better Hair for Suki

Texturing while Rendering...

I used Substance Painter to make colour, specular, roughness and bump images on Suki's face (not on her neck or body yet).  It's a nice improvement but all of these extra texture maps take up more memory out of my meager 8GB.  Fortunately, I am fairly confident I will be able to purchase m...

Early Look At Suki's Bulk

Here's a very early, very rough look at Suki with muscles.  This is very early and subject to change, but you can see the size I am going for.  She has massive traps and a thick bull-neck. :)

Also note I am not going to post a paid creation here at the end of this month..  If you wa...

Suki's Hair Remastered

Completely redid Suki's hair.  It's got more life and personality now.  -Also learned a new trick along the way.

Suki Grows Hair

(Hair in progress)

Jo on the Balcony Part 1 Preview

This will be a paid creation over at my other Patreon: Patreon.com/CGManDDD

Enjoy!

A Look A-head

Almost done rendering the YouTube portion of Busty Jo's first animation.. I'll put it up when I get up tomorrow.

Meanwhile while I am rendering, I've been modeling the next CGMan Girl.  Meet Suki.  I expect I'll be doing another animation or two with Jo, and I like her very much...  ...

Update!

I have begun rendering on my first busty CGManDDD animation.  After this is done I will begin work on the 2nd muscular Jo animation.  And I have cool updates planned for her. :)

In the meantime if you have a hankerin' for busty babes as well as muscular babes, maybe check out the other P...

Preview of the New Technology Going in My New Animations!

Howdy!

I'm progressing well on the skinny/busty version of Jo for my other Patreon(/CGManDDD).  Thought you all would be interested in seeing the new finite element tech going into her.  It's still rough at this stage but it gives you a good idea.

This will be utilized in future mu...

Important Announcement!!

Hello all!

I've just launched the "sister" Patreon I was talking about in my earlier video.  I am putting it up early because there are a number of you who wanted to get "Jo Enters" (#44) but were a bit too late to get your pledge in for her.

Jo Enters sent out to most of you

If you were expecting to get Jo's first animation but haven't received it, send me a private message.  I believe all of the deluxe and retro donors have it now..  I will process and send out all of the flash versions after I get some sleep.  Thanks!

Good news...

While I am not quite done with my client's project, I am probably 95% done.  I think he is going to hire someone else to render the animation I make.. There is no way my machine will get it rendered for him in a reasonable time.

So I am resuming the rendering of Jo as I get to sleep now. &nbs...

Something has come up!!

Hey everyone..  A client of mine from years ago has come to me on his hands and knees..  He desperately needs an animation done by June 1st.  It's $500 for a week of work.  That would really help me out esp. with my step-dad reminding me he needs money; so I am going to take the ...

Doop de doo

Nothing much to report other than the rendering is looking great.. And about 800 frames are left to render.  Did I mention this was higher resolution than the last one?  It's higher resolution than the last one.

Major Announcement

Major announcement that will effect my work in the future.  How much?  Well...watch the video and see.

Sigh...

Looks like ZBrush decided to put this horizontal line in the displacement map for Jo's arm.  This was causing some nasty artifacts when she rendered.  Glad I looked at it so quickly.

Had to install a paint program that can edit 16-bit images.  Fortunately it's free.  It's calle...

Rendering has begun!

I'm gonna get some rest.. I'll record a video with all the news there is to share either in a few hours or tomorrow.  Much to share!

Need a bit more time

I'm so close..  But I forgot I still needed to finish adding veins to her..  So I will need a little more time.  Sorry. :/

News and Jo

Hey everyone... Sorry I've been quiet.  Jo will start rendering by the end of the day today.  I only have a couple of final details to add (eye blinks).

I have SOOO MUCH news to share with you.  Really too much to type.  Some of it is really exciting stuff.  What I will pr...

Thank you all so much!

I just bought this new software tool thanks to all of you:

http://jhwerks.com/

I will use it on the last bits of finishing Jo..  But it will save much more time for subsequent characters.  Thank you!!!!!

Jo progress

Hands and fingers animated*!  Whooop!

*Except where those fingers come into contact with her body, which must be done last.

Release #47 - Suki's Debut Part 1 of 2

Thank you for your generous support and patience!!!

Jo Progress / The Most Perfect Casting?

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to announce that lip-sync animation for Jo is complete!  And I don't think there is anyone who would argue that this is my best mouth animation to date.  I'm pretty excited about it and I hope you all love her. :D

So this gal who provides the voi...

Jo Preview LIVE!

Enjoy!  Sorry it's so dark.. The final won't be this dark.

Rendering a YouTube Preview of Jo

Hello!  I'm roughly at the half-way point of animating Jo's lip-sync.  I'm super pleased with it.. I think it's my best lip animation work yet.

Anyway..  Because Jo isn't quite done but the end of the month is nearly here, I am rendering a ~10-second preview of the animation that I ...

Yesterday's Progress

I've transferred the motion capture data to Jo and can finally see her moving (and it's fuggin' awesome).  Some parts will need fixing/re-animating.

Motion Capture Recorded!

weee!
