Hey! The first of two render passes is ALMOST 1/3rd complete. It's looking great so far. Don't worry, the 2nd render pass (the hair) will go much more quickly.
In other news, I purchased that Paint Weights plug-in. It's going to be a sacrifice. I am cooking my first of ma...
YES! What a haul.. But it's gonna be great when you see it.
In other news.. In the video above, starting at 1m44s you will see a newly released plug-in for my 3D software. Paint Weights. Wow! This is going to save so much time when making new characters! I am going to...
2016-11-09 00:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostWow... It's just about over. I spent yesterday trying to fix a problem with her pecs. I tried FOUR DIFFERENT methods without success. After getting up today I had a bright idea and the fifth idea worked. Excellent. I've just finished simming her breasts and her skin is now complete and ready f...
2016-11-06 23:54:44 +0000 UTC View PostResults so far are encouraging. I need to smooth some stuff out but I think this is going to be the winner. I need to take a trip to the grocery store first, however. :/
2016-11-04 22:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for your patience everyone! I have (almost) completely remodeled her cage mesh and also made a few improvements to her rig. Time to transfer all of this to her skin again. This will probably take all day.
Hello!
I transferred all of the "meta" data to Yumi's final skin and put everything together. It has problems. I could hit the render button and send it out and it would be better than most of the stuff out there.. But it does not meet my quality standards. And you all dese...
2016-11-02 03:09:43 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for supporting me everyone! Yumi hulks up and causes some damage in this next animation! This will be the 2nd animation using my new motion capture gear.
Okay! I believe all of the elements are now in place. Primary character animation is done and cleaned up, morphs are done. I just need to animate the flexing and growing values.. And then transfer all of this raw data to her final skin. If all goes well I should have rendering started by the 1st...
2016-10-29 00:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey there hi there ho there!
Sorry didn't mean to call you that. It's a Mickey Mouse Club thing. I've finished cleanup on the motion capture and simmed the hair. Attached is a little preview. What remains is animating the hands, transferring the two new body shapes and... t...
2016-10-24 12:23:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey!!
I've got the motion capture data converted to Yumi's rig and I am probably over the halfway point of cleaning it up. Getting there! Attached is a rough preview of the first 8 seconds of this 2 minute animation. You should easily be able to see that the motion captured m...
2016-10-20 21:43:36 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
I've just finished cleaning up the raw motion capture data. It was actually pretty simple to do. The raw data was very clean. And it looks so awesomely organic. Right now I am transferring the mocap data to Yumi's rig.
Anyway I wanted to let you know that the las...
2016-10-18 11:39:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe Motion Capture recorded properly this time! :D
(sigh) I put all of the motion capture gear on and recorded some sessions. One for me, one for a friend. The one for a friend exported just fine. My clip did not for whatever reason. Now I gotta go strap it all on again and re-record.
Just finished sculpting Yumi's new size: Flexed version. Here's a little peek at her big flexin' back.
I do believe it is now time to record some motion capture! :)
Hello all! :)
So I've just sculpted up Yumi's next larger size. I now need to make a new sculpt with everything flexed.
Hello! I just sent out the rewards for supporters of "Great X-PecTations Part 2." Deluxe supporters will get their high resolution images and text document tomorrow.
Let me know if you had any problems getting the email or any other issues.
Also please let me know if you want to ...
2016-10-02 03:55:50 +0000 UTC View PostIn this animation, Yumi tries growing again and manages to surpass her previous size; by a considerable margin!!
This will be the first animation using my new Perception Neuron motion capture system. Shipping this to me from China resulted in an unexpected $85 import duty fee. So I pro...
2016-10-01 01:56:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
I should have Great X-PecTations 2 (illustrated and/or with voice if you opted them) in your hands tomorrow or the next day. All I have to do is finish this last picture. I'm sorry I am so dreadfully late on getting this stuff done. I am expecting that my new motion ...
2016-09-29 21:54:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
So yesterday there were some last-minute bugs that appeared in the audio player system. It took the greater part of the day to fix everything but it's acting like a well-oiled machine now. All of the audio and text is brought into the story reader program. And I also expande...
2016-09-28 07:45:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey!
I've just programmed up the system for playing audio clips in the story. It's really cool! It shows a little speaker icon next to the pertinent part and you can click to hear it. If you want to try it out download the attached file. It's basically the same cont...
2016-09-26 01:11:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey! I got just all of the audio and chopped it up into 45 clips and added sound effects here and there. Attached is a little sample.
What remains is to edit the code to my custom story reader program; adding audio buttons throughout the story. And then I need to make o...
2016-09-25 05:09:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey! I just got roughly half of the voiced lines sent to me. She's really good at this! A natural. :) Those of you who opted for the $12 version are in for a treat. :D
2016-09-21 22:36:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
I've just finished the first pass of the story. After I get some rest I will go over it again and do any punching up or polishing it needs. Then I have one (or two if you are willing to wait even more) more illustration(s) to make. My lovely and talented voice actor is s...
2016-09-20 05:43:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey! I'm working my way through the 3rd illustration for the story. But I couldn't help but to do a test recording with the new motion capture gear!
You can see the results in the attachment. It needs a little cleaning-up (but it won't get it as this is just a test), and for ...
2016-09-15 21:44:08 +0000 UTC View PostThis is all technical stuff so you can skip this posting if you don't care about the nitty-gritties.
So normally motion capture is super expensive because they use multiple cameras looking at balls stuck on a mo-cap suit. Thousands of dollars.
The Perception Neuron is the first mo-cap...
Hey!

In the past I have asked you all if you want more content with busty women and it seems to be a very polarizing genre. Some of you want it, others are turned off to the idea. I like women with big boobies too so I have created a "sister" Patreon site. This will be all about physically-fit women w...

2016-09-01 02:44:03 +0000 UTC View PostHere's an early look at the start of the story. For those who are new, this is a sequel to release #30 "Great X-PecTations." I will begin the story with a brief summary of the events in the first story but I haven't written that yet.
