Progress Update - New Models, Hairstyles, Animations, & Tutorials
🕑 Added 2021-01-16 05:02:36 +0000 UTCAs promised before, I'm just going to make a quick list of current projects I am working on to give an idea of my workflow and what everyone can expect over the coming weeks and months.
HAIR & MODELS
As always, I am constantly thinking of new ideas for models and hairstyles (as you can see in the picture above), which I basically do in-between all of the other things. Hair & Model releases will still happen as usual, however due to the increased intensity and time these take me, most "original" hairstyles (non-commissioned) will likely be paired with a model moving forward, and most likely to be exclusive to patrons.
All commissioned work will remain free upon completion, providing the client agrees to the free public release.
See pictures above for the next two exclusive models and hairstyles to expect.
Edit / Update: For community benefit many will still be free to public but the paired models will be exclusive in a separate VAR.
ANIMATIONS & SCENES
I've spent quite a bit of time learning how Timeline works, and also how to make use of things like buttons, triggers, physics, etc. in attempt to finally build a fully animated scene. I currently have about 3 working animations and a very customized scene using some free assets from the community, and some stuff I have bought licenses for to make the scene more immersive (Audio files for moans and sound affects, and some music).
As you can expect, this is a huge huge learning curve and is by no means an easy task, so this is expected to take another month or so before being anywhere near ready. However, I will be posting WIP's and eventually a Demo/Testing version for this. This content will be patron exclusive, and I am still considering what sort of tier structure I will make to accommodate this, though I promise all existing patrons will benefit from the tier structure update (likely a limited "Early-Bird" type of thing for staying with me in support).
Expected first demo to be released Early-February. Picture attached in the post shows a glimpse of the current progress.
TUTORIALS
As you can tell given all of the above I am very limited in time to make these. I have not received much feedback on the first one, so the second one will likely follow the same format over several videos... although I will start diving into more advanced techniques (multi-tool uses, holds, ponytails, body hair, recreations). I would like to have the next video out before the end of January.
LONG TERM
After all of the above is complete, my long term goals are to learn programs like Blender & Substance Painter (I've already started) to begin making custom assets and textures for my models (which will also prove useful for VAM 2.X).
That's it for the update. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your continued support and patience while I take the next step forward with my content production. Hope to release the pictured models over the next couple of weeks!
