Vanessa - Sunset Flight (7/12)

Second angle for this particular shot.

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (6/12)

I don't think it's going to take much more to push her over the edge- or rather pull her up off the ledge...

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (5/12)

Second angle for this particular shot.

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (4/12)

Good thing they're still kinda squishy and haven't quite firmed up yet, otherwise she might not be able to reach that rope.

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (3/12)

Second angle for this particular shot.

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (2/12)

"Do I have your attention yet? I can already feel the serum bubbling up inside me and the show's about to begin!"

Vanessa - Sunset Flight (1/12)

"Here goes nothing- or rather 'there I go' if all goes according to plan"

Pool scene plans

Long story short, it seems like my pool scene has grown some legs and decided to head off in a slightly different direction.

When I originally came up with this scene, I knew I wanted to have a nice...

Vanessa - Yeah, they're pretty big (latex)

Someone was asking if I could render the former images using that metallic latex material, so here they are- plus an extra angle just for fun (though it's pretty obvious the rest of the scene is missi...

Vanessa - Yeah, they're pretty big (3/3)

Last angle for this particular set. Like I said, I'll probably revisit this pose in the future when the scene is complete and I can spend the time adding a few things like some water droplets and stuf...

Vanessa - Yeah, they're pretty big (2/3)

Alt angle for the previous render. At least this one doesn't quite feel as awkward as the last, though I still wish I could have leveled the camera more with the ground.

Vanessa - Yeah, they're pretty big (1/3)

This was a fairly rough attempt at doing something quick that actually made use of the pool somehow (like, beyond just serving as a simple backdrop). 

Unfortunately the camera angle landed up b...

Poolside water test

This is a render test of the current refraction/reflection setup for the pool and lamps (which attempt to simulate an airy volume behind the glass lenses, since that's where the energized bulbs are lo...

Poolside textures WIP

This was supposed to be a boring old render test, but I guess Vanessa couldn't stop herself from slowly floating into frame.

Anyways, I think I'm finally done with the pool (so the pool itself, step...

Pool lighting WIP

WIP of the current pool lighting setup.

This isn't quite done yet, since I really need to figure out a better way of doing the tiles and texture a few other parts (specifically the tiles around the ...

Aqualight pool lamps

Yeah, I know... more boring pool equipment renders...

Just a quick render of the "mini" versions of the Amerlite pool lamps I'd previously modeled up. They're a slightly newer model designed for acc...

Latex test

I'm still here, and still busy working on pool modeling...

In the meantime, a friend had brought up the question of what a latex-like material would look like in the current scene. This is the end r...

Vanessa - Adrift

Originally I was going to call this piece "flotation devices", but I kinda wanted to save that for a few renders of her right side up in the pool when the entire scene is finally finished.

Anyways, ...

Road map (26/08/18)

I'm not really a fan of text only posts, but I figured I should post something just so that everybody knows what to expect from me going into the future. So without further ado, here's a simple road m...

Poolside VR test in 8K resolution

Here's a VR render of the former poolside picture.

It probably goes without saying, but this scene is not yet finished. This is an older version of said scene (a ton of stuff has been changed since ...

Amerlite pool lamps

Yeah yeah yeah...

I know- they're not boobs (insert "hopefully they're still a nice pair of cans!" joke here)... But at least they're going into a scene that will be used to render out boobs in ...

Vanessa - Poolside lounging (alt 2)

Yet another angle of the previous scene.

Vanessa - Poolside lounging (alt 1)

Another angle I'd rendered out of the same scene.

Vanessa - Poolside lounging

I'm never really sure at which point something transitions from being a WIP to being a relatively finished piece.

In this case, the pool scene is far from being done, but I guess it worked out well ...

WIP pool render

This is so WIP it's not even funny.

Nevertheless, progress is progress I suppose. A lot of stuff is shaded with flat textures at the moment, and I still have no idea if the pool tiles are going to b...

Pool pose WIP

Funny story about this pose- it's actually what sparked off my current project to model up an entire pool scene from scratch. Originally I was trying to render this out using some simplified geometry ...

Vanessa - Butt shot

This was done recently as a benchmarking test for some slightly more modernized hardware. The 4K resolution was a bit much given how much skin is visible on screen, so I'm not sure if I'll be adopting...

Pool progress

Yes, those are modeled wood planks making up the majority of the pool deck.

Yes, every single one of those was created by hand.

For some reason utterly beyond me, I got it into my head that I ...

Poolside fun blockout

Just a WIP shot of what I'm currently working on.

After the aforementioned failure, I really wanted some sort of scene that I could use to at least produce some content while I'm working on completi...

Liquid physics fail

This was a little test I was messing around with a couple of days ago for a beach inspired scene. The general idea was to have Vanessa running into a set of waves, but the scale of the scene quickly b...
