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

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 once again! an unnamed Raven haired MILF turn this week. what's with them creating beautiful characters with no name in every game.

PIXIV
MEGA

I was tempted to reduce her head size because her hair makes it look like she has a really big head in some angles...but eh I'll leave it like that. I've seen worse head to shoulder ratio before (I'm looking at you Type-0). 

That's a wrap for 16 characters debut. unless I find the motivation to rig another 16 character in the future. some might get a revisit here and there if there are demands or inspirations. I personally wanted to do more Mid,but I read Jote here and there...so maybe her instead. Mid is the most popular among all of my 16 animations though. Jill is close second.

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

It's raven haired Raven from Stellar Blade this week. Finally the game is released and I can see all the texture paths from the jsons.

Long neck, long legs, small shoulder, but big wide hips and bottom. The signature artstyle of the author....or maybe it's the waist that's too thin. I tried my best to mimic the proportion. Perhaps not quite final yet too like Lily. The choice was between her or Kaya. Mostly because they seems to have no mechanical parts. easier for me to rig. lol

(Long hair and thick lips. reminded me of FF14 Gaia a bit.)

Maybe I'll rig Kaya or Tachy next.. unless I find the courage to rig half mech body NPCs. or a full mech one...like Enya or Arisa. I have some ideas for them, but I need to attach a Fleshlight. ...Not sure if I want to do the hassle atm. or maybe we can have Enya/Arisa body upgraded to look more human. like Eve. that'd be easier. idk. but I really really like Enya and Arisa the way they are though. For Eve, I don't have to worry. There are already couple of godly rig on smutbase using her ingame face. The talented people there do better rigging than me. maybe I'll animate Eve too someday despite many superb animators out there animating her.

But for now, I'll focus on the side girls. like Kaya or Tachy. either way, you know how slow I am. I'm going to end up animating them later than everyone else. too many girls waiting to debut. I mean I'm only beginning to debut Rebirth characters in July. and the game released on PC in January this year. 

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

Well some other June revisit next week. haven't added new characters yet. I also need to prepare for Yaana and the Commander debut next month.

Need to catch some sleep first before I continue. Been missing a lot of sleep lol

Well that's only it for this week. 

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

Do please take care and always stay safe. may good luck be with all of you always! see ya!

Hello! It's June already, and just like last year, it's time for some revisits. starting off with FF14's

PIXIV

2 animations per character revisit. planned to add some more character, alas, as usual I wasted too much time fixing stuff. some animation don't have nude variations as a result. tis what it is. posing them early really did end up saving me time though.

I'll animate more Duo Sphene threesome when it's time for the new Sphene to debut.

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

I skipped her last week because of server maintenance, so it's her turn this time. it's Wayakkwe.

..I really can't trust FF14 lighting... making color appear not as it should. like the jacket look greenish ingame but when imported to Blender with correct color values, they appear yellowish. same case with Cirina a while back. tbh idk if it's the lighting or it's because they use too much filters. sometimes things look too washed out, sometimes things look too warm. it's confusing.

After Eutrope who always seem to look angry, now we have Wayakkwe...who is always seem to frown in all the screenshots I've seen.

I admit I haven't learned enough stuff about her or any Dawntrail NPCs. So thank you for those who explain their quick lore summary to me. I really appreciate it. it saves me time. gave me some good ideas as well for them. My plan for her is the same old debut set like every other character. maybe including Nostalgia in some of her animations like I said in previous post.

oh..There is also this :

I grabbed her off the demo. And she is not done yet. I'm currently having a hard time with her shaders trying to make her to look as good as she looks ingame. especially her hair and eyes.

I'm just that bad at adapting some Unreal's shaders to Blender. perhaps I'm missing some materials...it's only a demo after all. 2 days after the demo released on PC, people already grabbed Eve and shared her model on the internet. with luck, I won't even have to rig the rest of the characters. The game is really that popular. ....while I can just leave it to pro rigger and shader master out there, I still want to try to do my own rig and shaders on the characters too. (though, if someone released better optimized models than mine, I'll just use theirs. haven't checked on all of them.)

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

The Monthly 15 is next followed by Barn's mother debut the week after. when Barn's mother is out of the way, then I can finally use the monthly timeslot for debuting FF7R characters.

I'm still deciding on who to add for the other revisits late this month. so far I've added ZERO beside Cissnei and Tifa. been awhile since I animated her. I'll add more characters.... perhaps a KH character? if not, I'll just animate more CC Cissnei. I just want more Cissnei really.

That is all for this week. I'll buy Stellar Blade next week, I don't think I can play it this month, but at least I can tinker with the game files while rendering some animations as usual.

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

Always do take care, stay safe, and may good luck be with you in anything you do. see you next week~
