Patron Poll info

Heh, should've run the poll in the beginning of October instead of this late into September. I'll call the result an IOU, since we're running so late into the month, so in October I'll have the poll-r...

Looking for input on how I upload things:

So with computers and phones rapidly dropping support for SWF and other Flash formats, I have to wonder what is the best way to upload animations on sites like dA and FA, where the dying format is the...

What should the interactive animation entail?

Here we go, the first Patron exclusive poll, you help me decide what KIND of interactive animation it should be.

I'm ordering these by difficulty, ranging from easiest, most likely to succeed, and q...

Some new tiers

Alright, finally added the tier for voting on what I should do and I picked 5$. I'll run at least one or two of the polls per month, minimum. As part of that, the top two results from each poll will b...

Tinkering around with Blender Cycles

Long story short, Cycles is a neat function in Blender that replaces how Blender simulates light and materials and whatever. It allows for much higher quality and more realistic lighting, but is deman...

Poll Complete!

So as I expected, the interactive experiment got first place and the "make a new anthro" option got second place. My gameplan is to mess with the Blender Game Engine to see if I can at least get a "pu...

Testing the water:

Soon, I'll add another reward tier with the ability to vote on what I should do next, picked by YOU. I will run each poll once a month (maybe more, depending on circumstances) where you decide what I ...

Overclocked!

Even though we haven't met the goal, I went ahead and overclocked my computer against my common sense. I only raised it about 0.6 Ghz, but it should take the edge off of render times a bit. I'll save ...

CYOA 1 An Unmarked Remote 3

The remote is clearly telling you that you shouldn't press D+ anymore. Do you continue experimenting with the other functions of the remote, or are you going to see what happens when you ignore the re...

CYOA 1 An Unmarked Remote 2

"Huh, looks like we know what the remote does now. I still need to play around a bit more to figure out which button does what, but it's a start."

After pressing the buttons before, some new buttons...

CYOA 1 An unmarked remote?

Turning it over in your hands, there appears to be no markings of any kind, but after touching the display on the front, four buttons appear:

(The actual content for this is on my pages.)...

Pledged Money Info:

Another bit of transparency, how I'll handle pledges:

To start, all money (after Patreon/PayPal fees) will be tallied and totaled as a separate value from my personal bank account. This amount of mo...

(WIP) Request and Commission Blacklist:

I figured I could drop this here for more people to see it, it's my work-in-progress list of stuff I wont do.

 Blacklist for requests. If you request these, they're probably going straight into...

E621's funny.

I just checked the site, neither of my animations posted there have been approved yet, ha. Definitely, 100% cannot have that be one of the sites I post to. Anyone's welcome to upload my stuff there if...

Testing another concept:

This is something I'm going to play with a bit. Since this Patreon is mostly about supporting my animated endeavors online, I should be really transparent about as much relevant stuff (especially my c...

As you may have *heard*, I learned something new!

I finally figured out how to use the audio/video sequencer in Blender, so expect more videos that have sound. I'm still tracking down all the sound effects that fit all my needs, but my little library...

Alrighty-o. The situation with e621:

Between the 10-post limit and the fact I can't link there on dA, I've decided it can't be one of my go-to sites for uploading (although I wont stop anyone else from uploading there. Repost al...

e621

Gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of the site. It's nice that it supports WEBMs and all, but I've never been a fan of these Booru galleries and the bajillion tags.

Current grievances:

1. Tagging. ...

A new piece of info that has come to light:

I went ahead and made a post on e621 using a super-quick animation I threw together in 30 minutes and two things happened that weren't expected.

1. It looks like dA blocks my link to it. I'll have t...

Poll closed.

Looks like the winner is MEGA + e621, so that will be my normal policy, starting soon.

I don't have a specific date, so I'll just estimate that I can post to e621 a couple days from now. If I run in...

A poll to decide on something related to the previous poll. A "poll poll", ha.

I still have to wait a little longer on e621 before they'll let me post anything, but I finally read through the rules on the site and it turns out that they disallow anything human, unless the human ...

Upload locations, testing, and the polls.

Looks like e621 is winning the poll. I wanted to test uploading something there, but I have to wait a week before I post anything, due to how the site handles new users. In the meantime I went ahead a...

Maybe thinking about a third upload location.

The title says most of it, but yeah, thinking of having a third location to upload my stuff, preferably somewhere that supports filetypes that can work on mobile devices and such. Audio support is wor...

Success at something new!

That Latias model I've been using the last couple hours? Well, she's like 80% made from scratch! I normally edit the daylights out of models pulled directly from the games, but in the case of the Lati...

Testing the poll function:

I guess I should have known there would be a built-in poll function. Well, here's a quick poll for anyone passing by:

What should I focus on? (Pick as many as you like.)

Updated some info

I went ahead and changed the goals to things that are more relevant for a little tip jar like this.

(EDIT: changed to the pay up front option.)

Mostly available now, commissions soon.

I mentioned in a few locations that I had relatives over for a couple weeks, preventing me from doing anything too serious on the dirty half of my computer, but they're gone now and I can start taking...

Pokemon models are fun, TBH

As anyone who watches my videos can tell, I've been doing a lot of Pokemon stuff recently. I've noticed that Pokemon make great "blank slates" for a whole wide range of different videos, due to the fa...

The line has been crossed~

I just modeled a complete female reproductive system for an anthropomorphic Nidorina. I've already used it for a video where she's keeping a Pikachu inside, but I'm also in the middle of making a vide...

PSA for anyone stuck on a phone:

 I know I make a bunch of Flash videos, BUT there are ways to play the videos on Android, here's what I use:
 

Puffin Browser:
A web browser that uses some neat tricks to let you wa...
