Videos Are Fixed!

After reaching out to our streaming video provider, they were very accommodating and provided us with the additional bandwidth we needed to keep the videos up! =)  Everything should be working...

Video Player Issues

Videos currently aren't playing on my Patreon site.  Apparently we exceeded our monthly bandwidth allocation with our streaming video provider about 17 hours after Dragon Rider was released. &...

Dragon Rider

The video has released publicly, so here it is for all of my Patrons to enjoy!  To download the MP4 file, click the "share" button in the upper left, then click the rightmost icon (downward ar...

Cloth Simulation - rough draft

I spent today's stream modeling some swimming trunks for Taurin and calculating an initial cloth simulation for it of Kish pulling them down.  It could use some tweaking, but the results so fa...

Another Hit the Showers test render!

Here's another test render from the current project "Hit the Showers."  I made some improvements to the lighting and materials since my last posted render.  This scene is from immediately...

Dragon Rider Early Access

It's here! after 8 years following A Fox in the Stable, here's Dragon Rider, featuring Kish Fox.

Special thanks to both Kish and Asher Ninetails, who did all of the audio work on this, with K...

Dragon Rider is scheduled for release!

I finished rendering out the last few frames for this a couple days ago, and Asher and Kish brought it to life today with their audio engineering skills!  I'm proud to announce that this video...

Hit the Showers Test Render (close up)

Here's another test render from the newly-revamped Hit the Showers scene!  With the materials and render settings (mostly) sorted out, I'm ready to get back to cleaning up the animation itself...

Hit the Showers shifted Red (test render)

So, with the Kish dildo animation in the final rendering phase, and no work left to do on my part aside from waiting, I shifted my focus back to the Hit the Showers.

Since I'm using a differe...

More Streams!

Well, we did it!  We met the goal of $1000 in pledges per month, so I'll be doing 2 animation streams per week from now on ^.^

I'll probably do this additional stream on Tuesdays at 6PM....

Money Shot!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  The new animation is in the final rendering phase, and I don't want to spoil it by releasing too many of the final sequences <=)  However, I just f...

Where I'm at after 1 year on Patreon

Well, we're approaching the 1 year anniversary of when I started actively working on my art and animation projects again, so I thought I'd write up a recap of what I accomplished this past year, an...

Kish Mocap Opening Sequence

So, I decided that since I've got this awesome motion capture equipment (thanks again guys), I'd be missing out if I didn't use it for this project.  It doesn't help all that much for the hump...

More looping fennec butt!

Here's the previously posted loop from 2 more camera angles.  I added some jiggle to his balls for a little extra realism ;)

Unfortunately, I noticed a little glitch in the fur on the se...

And So It Begins (final rendering in progress)

Here we go! XD  I'm working on rendering out the final animation sequence.  I started by isolating a few loopable segments of the video that I'll render from different camera angles.

Wheeskerz!

So I added whiskers to Kish's character which was basically the only thing missing fur-wise x3  I also tweaked his fur a little more and I'm getting ready to produce what will hopefully be a f...

Kish Fap Low Detail Production Preview

This took about 11 hours to render at 1 min per frame.  I used a lower resolution and high noise threshold to get a fast preview render.  This provides a pretty good idea of what the fina...

Kish Butt Closeup - Light Flickering Fix

I left the previous rendered frames with light flickering in for reference.  About 1/3 of the way through, you'll notice a sudden shift in the fur (more on that in a moment) and the remainder ...

Taurin Fur Fly-through

Hello all!

Even though this is a video sequence, I'm releasing it at the Super Patron level since it's not actually a preview of a work in progress.  Don't worry Mega Patrons, you're goi...

Taurin Fur

So I spent a while typing out a long and well-composed description for this that Patreon decided to nuke because I pressed the wrong button, so here's the short version...

New fur!  Visi...

Kish Closeup Production Render Test

I'm still learning to optimize the Redshift rendering engine, and I'm working on balancing quality with render speed =)

An obstacle I've come across is that a frame that renders fast and look...

More Renders!

Now that I'm really digging into the Redshift renderer, I'm finding ways to make the scene look even more realistic and visually interesting.  Since my last post, I've made improvements to the...

Kish Dildo Renders

So I made it official and bought the Redshift license X3  Here are some production renders from the new animation project.  

During today's animation stream, I worked with the mater...

Kish Closeup Preview Production Render

Here's another test render sequence of the new project, this time from a closeup view!

I'm loving this render setup!  I started this sequence last night when I went to bed and stopped it...

Kish Dildo Production Test Render

Thanks to my Patrons, I was able to make some investments in my animation process that will really help to improve my speed and quality!

As mentioned in a previous post, I decided to switch t...

Kish Fur Update

I spent today working on Kish's fur and hair, along with some other updates to the scene.  Unfortunately, it looks like the new GPU won't get here until Monday, but in the meantime I have a ne...

Kish Fur Test (GPU Render)

So, it looks like the era of GPU rendering has finally arrived!

TLDR: I made the transition from a CPU-based rendering engine to a GPU-based solution for my animations.

For over a decad...

Kish Dildo Closeup

A closeup rendering from the side project video ^.^  I'm off work for the upcoming week, so I'm hoping to make a lot of progress on this!

Kish Dildo Test Render

Here's a test render for the side project I'm working on with Kish and a dragon dildo x3  Since the main project I've been working on has far exceeded its original scope and will take a while ...

Combined Lighting

This is the direct lighting pass combined with the modified GI from the previous post.  It's not perfect (my noise setting is too low) but the result is that I get a stable GI solution with an av...
