Hi! How fare you? This month got an extra week, and I decided to fill it with Lulu debut.

Final Fantasy Characters with cleavage are such a gift. Thankfully they are still making characters with such features. ...for now at least. 

Anyway, the new boob squeezing experiment, I apply it only to 2 of the videos. the doggy and the Lulu on top one. The rest are classic old caged cloth physics. my conclusion is kinda the same. it's less effort to apply but if something goes wrong, it's a pain to fix than shape keys. however, not much of a headache compared to Cloth physics overall.

Good enough for a simple loop if not a bit stiff sometimes. turns out I can bend the mesh more without adding much subdivision. play really nicely with smooth modifier as well. just another technique in my arsenal. never hurts to know more methods.

===========================================================================

I rigged Rael this week. one of the guardian. pretty sure these guardians share only one model.

And It seems they are using Eve's face as the base. easier for the dev to do perhaps.

She doesn't even have teeth and tongue model. I also leave out her cape for now. I might add it later depending on how motivated I am to deal with mesh clipping lol.

The next one I'm interested to do is Arisa. but I think I'll rig something else other than Stelar Blade next week. ..we'll see.

===========================================================================

Sadu is up next for the monthly 14. the poses are all set. Cirina also will be in some of the frames.

When I was pre-posing Iris, I got an urge to make Aranea wear sporty swimwear for some pool action too. What do you call it in English? a Speedo? So maybe I'll get her to wear that next month. or if not, I'll just focus on Iris in August. so I can do another full Aranea animations the month after to satisfy my urge fully instead of halving it.

Oh and for next month's FF7 rebirth debut, it's going to be Esther's turn.


And that's just it for this week! ^^

As always, I thank you for all your kind support and donations m(_ _)m

 I wish you the best of luck in everything you do. and don't forget to stay safe and healthy!  See ya!

Hello again! been a while since my last SoP character. It's Mia's turn now.

MEGA

Oof...SoP models are so heavy. With Mia is finally out of the way, I'd say that's all the SoP character debuts from me. But then I'm reminded that I STILL haven't rigged the Queen. can't say I'm looking forward to cleaning another SoP model tbh. However, a royal 4some animations sure still sounds super alluring. Annoyingly so. The idea lives rent free in my head. ....if not for the unnecessary super highly detailed model eating up Blender performance, I'd probably do it asap.  anyway, I'll keep the royal 4some in the backburner for now as I have to redownload the game too just to get the Queen. 

===========================================================================

Scarlet is our Stellar Blade character for this week. or should I say NIKKE character.

I still haven't done a research on her personality. based on the DLC so far, she seems to be the cutesy type. I could be wrong.

I don't play the gacha game, so I don't know anything about her.
all I know from NIKKE is a creature called Doro. because people I know always been spamming Doro stickers in every group chat. And now I even see the creature in the game. I can't escape this little creature apparently.

I believe that's it for Stellar Blade now. unless I find motivation to do Arisa, Roxanne and the cool guardians which names I forgot. I'll recheck my current list of rigged characters to decide. with a lot going on, my mind is a bit of a mush right now.

===========================================================================

Lulu's time to debut next for the extra week this month. I haven't posed anyone other than her. maybe I'll do simple poses if I decided to add Yuna or Rikku. The Yuna model I have is Yuna from Dissidia NT though. So there is going to be a big gap in model quality if paired with Lulu / Rikku.

Beginning to prepare for next month as well. Sadu is up on the list to debut for the monthly 14. pretty sure I said I'll do her with Cirina. so I'll try to include Cirina as well in some.

That's just it for this week. Time to get back Blendering.

Hello! time to finally begin FF7 Rebirth debuts. Starting from the cute Shinra Commander.

PIXIV
MEGA

Had fun animating her despite getting random Blender bugs in the process.

Some people giving me ideas about pairing her with Elena for a threesome or cameo. I like the idea. too bad I saw the suggestion a little bit too late. I'll do it in the future instead. For those suggesting me to do MMF or MMMF for her with bunch of Shinra soldiers, I'm sorry but I prefer our WoL to be the only guy smashing girls atm. I don't mind if it's MFF or MFFF as usual though.

There are some light leak / shadow flickering in some of the videos causing terrible banding, jitter and etc. so far the best solution I found is just to use less light source. I might missed some of them, but nothing too severe as far as I checked. I did what I could fixing them. Blender also updated to 4.5 yesterday and Vulkan has been fully supported.  

Iris is the one I tested it with. (Should I animate her in this swimsuit next month?)

I won't be fully switch using Vulkan just yet. If I know Blender, it's going to introduce me to a lot of new headache instead. so I opt to observe other Blender user experience with Vulkan first before switching. pretty sure the difference is not that big in final render anyway. 

===========================================================================

Enya the opera singer is our new model this week.

I'm too lazy to do some of her robot joint correctly. like her ankle for example.

it shouldn't be too noticeable. if it is, I'll fix it when It's time to animate her. but I did her fingers and wrist articulately correct at least.

I also did her with a full human body. so when I feel like it, I can animate her this way too. or do the nude variant with it.

She got a super long hair. that's going to be difficult. for me at least. I'm not that good posing really long hairs. Can't see it on the renders above, but I did attach her a genital to her body frame nether region. it might look weird using her skin color down there, so I made the vagina match the color of her skeletal body. it's not final, so I'd probably still tinker it later.

Next week, I'll probably rig Scarlet. idk who is next after her atm.

===========================================================================

Mia from FF SoP is next. she is a petite one, so I'll do the usual routine. it is what it is. Sarah is also in most of the frames as a cameo.

Lulu will be the one to debut after Mia for the extra week. some suggesting I do her with Yuna. if I do them in 1 frame, the theme is going to be similar to Mia & Sarah or Yluna with Gentiana. but I really just want to experiment with some new animating method on Lulu this time. but we'll see.

That's really it for this week! Time to get back to it.

Thanks for all your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m

Please do stay safe and healthy, and I wish you the best fortune in anything you do in life. see ya!

Hi! how are you? hope all is well. forgive me, but I need my usual Aranea fix this week.

PIXIV
MEGA

And like I said, a series of vertical videos.

I tried a new boob squeezing animation method on Aranea here. Tried it last month and the month before that, but the tinkering and fixing took longer than I expected. and often the end result is not up par to my expectation. The plus side is that this method is not reliant on cloth physics nor shapekeys. it is less resource heavy and easier to apply than those two. However, it's not really detailed and it's a bit trickier to fix. It's good enough for a simple loop though. 

I'm still not used to this method yet. so I'll try to do experiment again in the future. perhaps on Lulu this month. Especially since I know and saw someone who can use the same method with better result than mine.

=========================================================

The model this week is another petite from the game. MotherSphere.

Both Kaya and her have similar face shape. perhaps way too similar. seems the game is really inspired by NieR...since it's also giving me the same dejavu with the characters.

Another shorty. so.. uh I did the usual thing. make her a bit taller...sorry. but that baby face is not helping me at all lol. but usually with cases like her, certain camera angle makes her look smaller anyway no matter what I do. (like XIII's Lumina)

I wanted Scarlet. but MotherSphere looks easier and I can use the extra time to play the game. So far, I've been really enjoying Stellar Blade open world more than FF16's and FF7's. gee I wonder why.  

I heard there are indeed more offline games with beautiful characters like this coming up.  I just hope they are at least easy to mod. so next week is...idk... either Scarlet or Enya.

=========================================================

It's finally time to animate the cute Commander. thus beginning a series of monthly Rebirth characters debut. time to pray so that I can I get good inspirations for all of them.

Yeah I must have Sarah in the frame guiding Mia's debut after all. I just don't see Mia solo in this. All I can see is both of them in 1 frame. so that's what I'm going to do.

The idea motivates me, but ngl the second I remember how heavy Sarah model is, I get discouraged lol. 

That's about it. and I'll do Lulu after all for the extra week. Time to pre-pose her!

Thanks for your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m

Olease do take care, stay safe, and my the greatest of luck be by your side always.

see you next week!

Hello once again!! ^^ I hope you are all well. Yaana is here to begin July just as planned.

Just some nice simple stuff. I still have not recovered fully. feels like I still need a couple more extra hours of sleep time lol. But luckily she is short haired. I love short haired women.  Because they are easier to animate. no clipping problem and etc. I included her sister as a cameo too in some though. and of course, more of them both when it's finally time for Eutrope to debut too. ..nothing much else to add.

===========================================================================

Tachy is the new Stellar Blade cast added to my arsenal this week.

Ah yes carbon fiber suit. what a cool full bodysuit armor design. probably my favorite so far. I didn't include her wing though...maybe later. had a hard time trying to get her full bodysuit texture to look exactly like how it is in game. Thankfully I did get some help from an expert.

Have to admit I didn't know Tachy and Raven are 2 different people at first. they both look similar to me at a glance lol. Unfortunate that I heard she doesn't have lot of screen time. eh..but at least I can give her some screen time along with the other animators out there.

Makes me wonder how many good games with beautiful women flew under my radar. maybe there are even some upcoming games I haven't heard too. eh...It's not that I have time to play them anyway. ...not without sacrificing some animating & rendering timeslot. Well, next I'll do Scarlet or the white haired petite named Motherspier in the directory.

===========================================================================

Doing the Monthly XV on the second week as usual. I want to focus on making vertical videos for this one time. And there are a couple of XV animations that didn't make it last month, I want to try to do them now. idk who else to animate beside Aranea atm...perhaps Gentiana.  And after that, it's debut time for the cute Shinra Commander.

Mia is also being prepped. ...but it feels like it's not complete if I don't include Sarah too in this. So I need to redo that pose and add Sarah in the frame somehow. I'll just do similar theme like I did Yluna and Gentiana for them. ngl animating Sarah still traumatized me lol. perhaps I should not apply physics on her hair.  SoP characters are crazy detailed for some reason.

That's just it for this week. If I'm lucky, maybe I could play an hour or two of Stellar Blade this weekend. if not that, then I'll just pre-pose some characters.

Thank you for all of your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m 

please always do take care and stay safe, and I wish you all the very best luck in everything you do. 

See you next week~

Hello! how are you doing? it's the end of June already? welp...the last batch of June revisit incoming.

PIXIV
MEGA

Decided to do 3 animations for each character instead of 2. initially, I wanted to do 3 animations for Cissnei only and then use the remaining timeslot to add more characters. but I end up making 3 animations for everyone lol. these sadly made me sacrifice some timeslot reserved for something else.

....I was planning to do CC Cissnei a bit more, but I guess the next Cissnei going to be the Rebirth version. yes this is Crisis Core Cissnei. I'll use her Rebirth model when it's time for it to debut.  Who would make a perfect threesome pair for Cissnei I wonder. Aerith? or is it Yuffie? they both use Shuriken after all. perhaps Elena would be good option? 

===========================================================================

I decided to do Kaya this week. She is by far the easiest to do. saved me lot of time.

And of course she is a petite one. so it's going to be the usual drill for her when it's time for her to debut. it is what it is.

Kaya is really cute. I also saw a white haired petite wearing a dress while browsing the files. based on her name, I might just spoiled a big chunk of the story to myself lol.

eh...such is the risk of datamining. next, it's either Tachy or Scarlet. I know Scarlet is a character from the collab game. I guess the shooter gacha got a melee character as well. a pretty one too.

I still haven't got the motivation to do the ones with full mech for a body. Enya is obviously on my list just because how beautiful her face model is. 

===========================================================================

It's Yaana time to debut the first week of next month for the Monthly 14. I'll try to include Eutrope as Cameo too. But it's time for me to slow down a bit to relax. I think I'll do more easy poses for Yaana next month. unless I get some good inspiration.

And July got an extra week. I'm tempted to take a week break to play Stellar Blade, but maybe I'll just use it to debut a character. it's a long queue. Based on the rigging order, Mia from SoP coming up after The commander. and then I could maybe debut Lulu for the extra week.

That's about it this week! time to get back to regular pace and scheduling. 

Thanks for all of your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m
