Shit. (another update)

Last time I updated on the next animation, I mentioned I'd done about 87 seconds of animation so far (2640 - 30buffer @ 30fps). This is true and accurate. But there has been a problem.

In the Judy animation, I started using Library Overrides...

Judy does a thing

First, I know I said I'd never make things Patreon only. But there seems to be a rule that is either new or I didn't spot before that says you can't post NSFW content publicly. It all has to be behind a paywall. So, to compromise, this is posted t...

Took a week off but kinda didn't

The good news is that I think the sex part of the next animation is pretty close to blocked out. The major movements are done, it'll just be a couple of passes afterwards for things like limbs going through each other, micro-movements, faces, blin...

Update 23/10/2020: The cycle of pain begins again...

So here we go, 9 days on from the last episode and I've properly started on the next one. There's a few reasons for the delay.

First, I've been working on a new Kyn model, which I wanted in on this episode. He's still not complete, but throu...

Efa: Take that out your mouth (Episode 10)

Finally!

If the video doesn't show, link is either here to download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OcpU0LztD114ym4_e8EN...

More extra stuff (really nearly done)

I can genuinely say this will be done in the next few days!

I've got this major part rendering right at this minute, which will run overnight. I've started doing simple demo renders of scenes to work out timings and see any glitches before I...

Still working! Preview video

The good news is I finished up a fairly complex scene this morning, leaving maybe 3 more scenes to go. Judging by the date, I think I might have missed my deadline a little...

The other bit of good news is that I finished up another project ...

Closing on another release... (update 23/9/20)

Another week, another update, and still tentatively fingers crossed for before the end of the month for the next mini-episode.

What you ...

Update 18/9/20

Another quick update!

I started replacing the shitty scenes I showed off last week and have now got about 50s of animation queued up for rendering. The first block has about 5s of good footage but the previous 5s was waaaay too fast so I've ...

Failed Stuff (video)

I am so sorry for what is in this video!

The story behind it is that I've been working away on it and thought I had something worth using. I rendered out all of it and was convinced the shoddy stuff could be ignored. After all, a wise person...

Further update 5/9/20

Thanks to the poll, I think I'll go with splitting the episodes up into chunks for expediency, then releasing the full episode at the end. This means I can keep content going even when there's big sections to work on, and lets me be a bit more reg...

How to proceed

I've been technically homeless for the last 2 months, but able to cadge power for my van somewhere. With that and working from home, I've been able to work away on episodes and stuff as well as other work here and there. However, my proper job has...

Swimming

Technically, I'm still on holiday, but I got in a bit of riding over the 5 days I was actually away despite two huge storms that hit the UK and left me without any dry biking clothes, so I returned home to clean up, restock and head out again.

Update 19/8/20 - Time off

Just a quick update on this stuff.

Animation has started on the next episode, and so far I've got about 34 seconds rendered out and good to go, with another 6 seconds needing re-rendered because it had issues. I'm having a sneaking suspicion...

Efa V1 Model - Free to download!

V2 is now almost done and is already being used to make the next episode. So, as promised, here is the old model.

For best results, you'...

State of play: 14/8/20

I've tried to start animating, but it's just not happening so I gave up.

It turns out the new version of Efa just does not work. She keeps noodlifying and flopping around all over the place. It's not a good model or rig, so I went back to th...

Quick update - Progress slow 8/8/20

Unfortunately, there's not been much in the way of real progress on the next episode.

I've got a rough script fleshed out, I know more or less how it's going to play out, scenes, actions and so on. I've even animated the first part of the fi...

Weird stuff while building a new Efa

Felt this one was worth sharing.

I've spent most of the day rigging and weight painting the new Efa model. This means a lot of Inverse Kinematics, control bones and so on.

Turns out, I did something a little incorrect somewhere along t...

Efa: He looks fluffy

I absolutely forgot to add this to Patreon last night, and realisibng I need to add all the previous episodes too.

Animation: 

Final final update (damn it)

The last render just completed. 

I switched to Video Editor mode.

I plugged in the final fixed bit of footage.

I edited the bits around it, ready to tweak the timeline a bit and get the final cut ready for intro, outro and m...

Final update for this episode

I'm so nearly there.

Unexpected working hours, sickness and other stuff have been trying to stop me from hitting my target. A late delivery of Indomitus turning up tomorrow looks set to try and grab my attention as well, but that's ok.

Efa V1 announcement

Just a quick update but also to record this and remind myself for later...

I've been working more on Efa Version 2. Her rigging is almost complete and a lot of the Inverse Kinematic rigging is completed. She's still not quite done, but she's...

Update 23/7/20 (with pictures)

It's been about a week, so a good time for another update.

Work is continuing, still figuring out the last bit of the script, but otherwise getting there. I've closed the polls as I'm past the halfway point and there's a clear winner.

...

Update 16-7-20

Good news! It's now up to about 1min36 of rendered footage and some complex stuff now out of the way.

One of the big issues I hit was a new way of handling jiggle physics, which are needed. Without going too complex, with the last system you...

Efa Update!

This was not really planned, but then I discovered I could open up a second instance of Blender while another scene was rendering.

I've been sort of working on this one on and off for a while. I've been wanting to update Efa for ages. Her sh...

Update 7/7/2020

Is it really an update if it's the first one you do? Surely the first one is just a Date?

Regardless, to keep people up to date on where we are with this shit, this next update currently sits at 27 seconds of rendered and edited footage.

Efa Costumes Wallpaper

To kick things off, here's a fancy thumbnail of the outfit choices from one of the last polls. This was used as the FA thumbnail but I've redone it in 1920x1280px, 1280x720px and the full image of each outfit.

You can either grab one you wan...
