Hello Loyal Patreons,
It's time once again to take a look back at what's been happening, where we're at & what comes next.
It's been another difficult month trying to get good at Blender but I think some really great strides forwards have been made in the end which are only going to bear more fruit moving forwards. The main focus has been:
After the Aqua x Riku thighjob one, I felt it would be best to do a series of short looped ones before tackling the next official request so I've been working on a short loop with Kairi. The problem that presented it's self was once again the frame rate issue. Since I was adding audio to this one I really needed to get perfect 30fps playback & it's taken a while to find a method that truly works.
Those of you who have been following along weekly on the discord have seen this frustrating journey, but you will also know that I have finally found a method that works. Today I added the now finished lipsync to the main animation & have a test render with the sound that'll be going up on the discord shortly after I post this:
In order to do this I made a separate Kairi with only her head and none of the complicated features to make her body look nice. With just this head I can easily do the lipsync in a totally different session & just import it into the scene. This has worked so well that I've done additional versions for just the body & just the genitals as well. If we take a look at Larxene here:
We've got the super light weight mannequin, just the head, just the pussy (both pictured together in the pic) & a super lightweight version of the body that looks correct. The mannequin has no joints, she's all separate little meshes so there is no distortion or flexing happening when the joints move. It's purely to get the pacing right. We use the mannequin first & then move through the others as pacing gets less important and accuracy is needed. I was already using a similar system to this, but the bodies all shared one skeleton. Now each model has it's own with only the bar minimum of drivers attached. Since the skeletons are all the same I can copy animation between them & just use the light ones for previewing & the real ones for the final render. I have finished Larxene first because she is probably going to be next the one for a short animation with a little anal dildoing.
So slow going at the start trying to find a workable way to preview the animation, especially since I didn't come up with this idea until after having done the main animation for the body, which probably wouldn't have taken so long with the new system.
But there has been more KH activity than just the Kairi animation because we have added two new ladies to the roster. In preparation for a Mother's Day debut we now have both Riku & Sora's Moms on the team!
Who knows what sordid things they'll be getting up to in the near future. I'm doubtful if I can get Larxene & these two done before Mother's Day so Larxene might get bumped to after I'm done with these two, depending on timing. They will be doing a short loop where they are giving a double BJ. Should be nice. They are based on 0lightsource's pics:
And I'm very pleased with the way they have turned out. I think it's good to have some more original models on the roster, rather than just straight ports. I've some plans for others further down the line. I have plans to do a Kairi's Mom too, but that's proving to be harder without a strong image to work off. There are of course future plans for other custom model's too like Anti-Aqua & others later.
But what about Medli? Well now she is fixed she's just waiting for me to pick her back up again, but honestly I'm a little too invested in getting the KH stuff really up & running to divert to Medli just yet. She's going to get a whole month dedicated to her, but I think it'll have to wait until the Larxene & Mother's Day videos are done. There is also a little bit of the fact that after having rebuilt her twice to fix various problems I'm still a little bit sick of the sight of her so I'm giving her a little cooling off before we come back in earnest.
I know I'm being a little unfair to her but I also know that everyone wants to KH stuff the most so until I'm 100% certain that I've got all of that working I don't want to split my attention. If all goes according to plan the new KH models will perform exactly as intended & I can finally relax knowing that I'm not going to have to put everything on another 2 week hold while I trouble shoot a solution to some new drama.
So worry not Medli fans. She's still coming, just not until I'm in a position to do it properly.
And finally, the part that you've all been DMing me non-stop about (I'm joking of course, no one has) it's the Eldar Narn update. And excellent news here. During my various outrages with things not working animation wise & me needing to take some calm down time doing something different, I'm getting even closer to the end of the chapter now.
I've built the secret passage & setup the lights for most of the camera angles I need. Scene wise the girls are currently walking down the stairs in the secret passage talking about magic. Only got a couple of the stair shots ready since I need the sideways angle lit before I can start posing out those scenes, but everything in the garden, opening the passage, entering it & lighting the torches with magic is done finished pages. So not long at all. Once they've said their bit about magic we'll cut to them arriving in the dungeons, they have a few line sin the dungeons & then the chapter ends with them going their separate ways.
Dungeon will be an easy build & we don't see much of it anyway. It's really only for foreshadowing purposes so doesn't have to be much. Then it's back to Gizzi & Wyn & also the first actual porn in the porn comic I've been making for 3 years now! About bloody time!
And there we have it. It's been a month of overcoming obstacles but each & every one currently lies in ruins behind me & the future is finally looking good. Be sure to check the discord shortly for a preview of the Kairi animation
Take it easy my dudes.
