Nadia's new eyebrows

Also some tweaks to her forehead sculpts and her eye animation.

Nadia Got Taller

I'm sculpting up her before body.  It's still pretty rough but it's time to eat. :D

EDIT: Further sculpting.. More required.

Subdermal Collisions

First two tests...  1st one was a disaster, but I made some adjustments and it's better in v2.  Not as good as Storm, but it shows promise.  At least this one works.. Storm doesn't (yet).

The next test would involve a characte...

Almost done

Forehead done.  Well, just the foreskin, really.  I need to adjust the eyebrows.  She was borrowing Raina's eyebrows.

EDIT: Eyebrows are done.  I will do a new render when I go to sleep.  Now it's time to work on som...

The Storm Situation And A Crazy New Idea

Hi there.

I am currently working on the last part of Nadia's face rigging; her forehead.

What follows is some very techno-geeky stuff..  So I will not be offended if you want to pass on the rest of this post.

I posted earlie...

Nadia Mouth Rig Part 3: Nadia Speaks!

Howdy!

So this took longer than expected.  My rig had some serious issues that needed to be debugged.  But the extra hours sorting it was worth the effort.  Everything works great now.

When I first met the voice actor fo...

Nadia Mouth Rig Part 2

Today was a very productive day.  I got all the systems I want working in her mouth rig.  This is likely my most sophisticated mouth rig to date.  I've set up preset sliders... Things like single sliders that override all the other ...

Nadia Mouth Rig Part 1

She's coming to life.  Ignore her lips sticking together for now.  I am rigging her mouth in a different way..  Sort of emulating what I saw in this guy's work:

Trick Or Treat

How about treat?  I spent some time tweaking and remodeling her hair.  I added a nice transition between her rear curly hair and the front straight hair.  I rendered this overnight on my slow machine.  I may update this post la...

Hair Trouble

Hey all..

So I completed (most) of the hair elements..  All ready to go for Storm.  Unfortunately Storm shit the bed...  That same bug as last time.  The developer knows about it and said he will look at it..  I just...

Nadia Turntable

I did some fine tuning / reshaping to her model in various places..  Her jawline was completely remodeled which meant I had to redo her UVs and textures.

New Gal Named

I am naming the new girl Nadia.  She's russian, and she will have curly blonde hair.

EDIT: Updated MP4 clip

Really cool

Skin colour texture / skin normal map / subsurface scattering

Porous

I made an all new procedural setup for skin pores (and bumps).  They can be varied in size based on a weight map.  Really complex setup and it takes a long time to render (on the old machine).  But it's only meant to render once to ...

Retopology

Hey all... I'm heading out to the grocery store.  Here's a look at the new gal's face being retopologized from the raw sculpt.

Because I took the fans out of my old machine, I am not going to have it do rendering until the new fans arri...

Rendering

I estimated this new machine is roughly twice as fast as my old machine.  I moved the project to the new machine and began rendering.

The first frame took exactly two minutes to render on the new machine.

I then rendered the same ...

Nifty Textures

I made some custom fabric textures for Raina's clothing.  If you want to use them in your own projects I've attached them here.

Just a Few Details Remain

Hey all..  I have just a few bits and bobs to finish up before I can start rendering.  Hopefully this time tomorrow she will be rendering away on the speedy new machine.

New Computer Alive

Hey!

Raina's shirt sim is progressing...  The torso area is complete.  The sleeves are simming now.

I am done with assembling MOST of the new computer.  I was so pleased when it stirred to life I made this video to show ...

No Shirt, No Service

Hey all...  Raina's shirt is fighting me tooth and nail, but I will triumph.  Meanwhile, here's a look at what I've been sculpting.  It's still very early yet.

Raina Update

Hey all.. Small update today.  Raina's hair is all done.  And after taking all day to set it up, I just hit the sim button on her shirt.

I am waiting for one final piece of computer equipment to arrive; the GPU.  GPU prices ar...

Good (Hair) News and Mediocre (Hair) News

Hey all!

The good news is the Storm sim worked as well as I had hoped.  It's a tad floaty, but the self-collisions and volume preservation is perfect and much improved over any hair sims I've done in the past.  See the attached pre...

Progress

Get that After-workout, full-bodied, shower-fresh feeling from Storm Shampoo.  Use as directed.

I Has Surprised

Hey all..

I am putting the finishing touches on Raina's body animation.  The Storm option never materialized... Hopefully it will be available soon for a future character.  So she was put together with bubble gum and Popsicle stick...

Bug Report

Okay we've discovered that this wonderful new tool is quite delicate.  If the model is scaled it breaks the tool.  If the start frame is not 0 it breaks the tool.  If the resolution is changed it breaks the tool.  I've sent an ...

(Potentially) Great News!

Another Storm user (not the developer) told me he discovered the problem I was having.  This new feature that makes all of this possible has a bug.  If you use the rescale feature with it, it breaks it.  If that is true this will be...

Progress

So I've set up the pieces and parts to make replacement parts in Storm and Storm shit the bed.  I am quite despondent.  The strange thing is, I made this test using the same methods a few weeks ago and it worked flawlessly (see attached ...

Raina Update

Hey all,

I've just finished animating her hands/fingers for the parts where she touches herself; I had to wait till the body is final before I can finalize the finger contacts.

So I thought I was done now but I just noticed there's a p...

CGM - Release #065 (Oct. 2021)

Hello this is an advance post for a future release.  Send me a private message if you have any questions.  Thank you so very much for your support, without it, these fun animations would not be possible!!

Progress Report

Hey all..  Soon after my last report I had some bad luck.  I sculpted up her flexed buns... Looked nice.  Rigged it and animated it.. Then after that I updated the final mesh with the new buns.  Then I deleted all but the lates...
