I really hate these text only posts, but I'm not sure what else to do right now.
Long story short, my workstation of 8 years just passed away. My new workstation is still awaiting a few extra...

2020-01-06 12:23:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo I'm kinda back, though I suspect my presence will be a bit spotty until January 5th or so.
I figured I might as well toss up a general plan here so everyone knows what to expect for the ne...
2019-12-28 09:50:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo apparently it's Christmas.
I'm still kinda wondering where the year went, but I guess that's life for you. In any case, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you all are...

Another shot from the back.
The lack of density maps is really obvious around the hairline, which is absolutely killing me inside because I know that's not realistic at all. Unfortunately C4D...

Found a few fleeting moments to work on Jessica's hair style.
I'm still not very happy with how clean and precise it looks, but I think it's at least a bit better than before. Truth be told, ...

I really really really wanted to wait to release this until I had some sort of a 3-panel mini-OC sheet/comic done up that described some of Jessica's backstory (was going to do one for Vanessa as w...

Needed a hair scrunchie.
Too lazy to figure out how to sculpt one from scratch.
Instead spent twice as long figuring out how to simulate the desired fabric deformations with soft body d...

After I recently stalled out on the strap rigging, I figured it might be fun (well, as fun as this stuff can be) to try and change gears and work on something else for a while. One of those things ...

Ugh.
To quote the professor from 1996's Chain Reaction- "We learned something very important today. We found another way that didn't work."
So as it turns out, the method I've been deve...

Back side.
I am redoing the leg/butt morphs as well (not shown), though the primary focus at the moment is the breast morphs (specifically the sequence of progressive morphs that will be driv...

Working on some new body morphs, which also kinda fit in with the new strap rigging system. Not quite sure if things are going to work out or not, but assuming they do, this will likely land up bei...

One of the things I really love exploring (and will probably be doing a lot more of in the future) is the concept of "not-quite-buoyant-acrobatics" (which differs from "just-barely-buoyant-acrobati...

More Vanessa.
This was actually a leftover pose that I couldn't quite fit into Sequin Floatoshoot, so it landed up collecting dust in the back of my mind until I decided to do something about...

Well that took a bit longer than I expected.

Another ceiling render, because apparently I'm having a lot of fun messing around with those lately.

I guess it's only natural someone stuck on the ceiling might want to come down eventually- though how you do that without the assistance of someone else is utterly beyond me.
On a side note- ...
