Hi! how are you? time for another FF14 character debut. it's Lyna from Shadowbringers.

My very first Viera. I use the same rig and body as Venat for her. the difference being, she has long ear bones. i don't know about you, but I feel like I need to grab her bunny ears in every sex positions. can't think of anything else but grabbing her ears. it's irresistible. so uh..... I might over did it with the bunny ears grabbing.

but Isn't that how you hold a bunny?

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

Still waiting for 14 mod tools to get fully updated,so... I rigged Larxene from KH3 this week.

Her eyes in KH3 are golden colored because of certain lore... I could easily swap them to green though. doesn't make a difference to me.

Seems everyone really want to hatesmash her for some reason. Personally, her sassiness grows on me. Would be interesting to see her in IV not as Nobody. what was her name? Elrena?

Anyway, that leaves KH3 Yuffie and KH3 Aerith. I'd really love to have high poly KH Fujin and KH Selphie too. Now with the exclusivity thing gone, I hope KH4 releases on PC the same time as console and have plenty of FF characters included.  I know some fans really dislike KH4 graphics from the teaser, but I mean...they still have cute girls in it... that's all that matters to me. if they are beautiful, they are on my list.

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

I want to debut Crowe from XV for the monthly XV, it'll be focused on her. ...and of course at least 1 mandatory Aranea to charge my energy next week. I want to animate Aranea in an out of character outfit just for fun.

Who else debuting.....there is Nier.Rein Sarafa and Lumina from FF13 on the list after. and FF14's Zero is coming in August. that's the plan. 

Also, I'm closely following the FF14 community for NPC updates. yes, I'm aware of Queen Sphene, don't worry. she is on my list. no rush~  Extracting her model is easy and can be done right now, but I rather wait until I can get all her 1:1 data  instead of trying to match it using screenshot.

so, yeap...that is it for this week~ thanks for all the supports and donations as always. m(_ _)m  Always do take care, and See you next week~ 

Hey! still alive? Exciting week for 14 players. new expansion, new graphic, new waifus. but I'm here not to deliver FF14 girl this week, but a girl from FF10-2, Paine.

I love short haired girls. I don't need to worry much about hair clipping. Paine here is the easiest of the three X-2 main characters I think. If only we were able to dress up Lulu in the game too... but well I guess now I can.....in Blender. 

Wouldn't mind another dress up FF games like X-2 and Lightning Returns. probably most fans won't like it, I like it though. some of the costumes are really fanservicy. Imagine that but with FF7R / FF16 graphic..... hmm but I guess we do have Tifa and her mods on PC. ...oh FF14 Is also kind of a dress up FF game too since you can dress up your character and some custom delivery NPCs. totally forgot about that.

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

Adding more Nier Rein character to my arsenal. this time it's Gayle.

I know the game ended, but I'm still going to rig the characters. because...why not. gotta get em all.

the "Prosthetic Hunter". Pretty cool. but yeah, I don't know anything about Rein, I rigged them because some of them are really hot. Akeha especially. 

Quite some of you also messaged me about Stellar Blade characters.

...uh..I haven't played the game. and it's not on PC so....yeah... but we'll see. FF16 is the only one on my mind right now. hopefully ripping 16 models is not hard when it's finally playable on PC. 

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

Dawntrail expansion released, so I took a closer look at 7.0's assets and compare them to 6.0's in Blender.  For hair, UV mapping and poly count stays the same, the only difference is the textures.

They do seem a bit cleaner and less pixelated. just a little bit. (color mismatch is only because I didn't use 1:1 color data). The huge difference is with the head mesh :

( the shimmer is bit different because I didn't disable wet skin and lip gloss shader on 6.0 mesh... and also didn't add them on the 7.0's mesh)

They do seem to have reworked the mesh a bit. Tried to use 7.0 textures on 6.0's eye and head mesh, and it does not aligned correctly. so basically, new model and UV mapping. Ears looking less blocky from afar, but they look the same if you get close enough. I think eyeballs poly count is higher? instead of separating iris and sclera, they are now joined as one mesh. ears and eyes texture has been improved in 7.0 as well. But, I've only looked closely on Ryne though.

The quickest thing I can do right now for old FF14 rig, is replacing their hair and eye textures. which I already done to Ryne. swapping 6.0's eye texture with 7.0's instantly doesn't work because of the new mesh and UV mapping, so I modify the 6.0 iris texture and replace it with 7.0 one in photoshop instead of wrapping it inside blender.. Image above both still using 6.0's head mesh.

I do need to wait until all the modding tools I use gets updated and bug free,so that I can easily get all the correct NPC information again safely (things like skin color codes, nose type etc).  This one I extracted with the old tool's default settings and have been modified inside blender to roughly match her color features from what I can remember. 

Might as well uninstall and re-download every tools I have once they are up to date.

the tool magicians are still enjoying the expansion. so, no rush. 

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

I'll be animating Lyna next. Now, This is 6.0 Lyna. I don't have all the necesary tools to update her model with the correct information yet. And I don't think there is going to be much noticeable difference unless you look really really reaaaaally closely. 

in Blender, we already have all the tricks 7.0 use even before it's out. SSS, AO, eye reflections, lip gloss, wetness, all that good stuff always been there since forever. I do think I used hair HQ textures mod for her though when I extracted her, so the texture should be a bit better than default 6.0

That is it! I'm reaally jealous of FFXIV dawntrail players right now lol.

I don't think I can go back and play mmo again anytime soon though.

Take care and thank you for your kind support and donations m(_ _)m

see you next week~

Salutations! How are you? getting way too hot over here where I live. but that's not the report I'm here for. it's time for another monthly XV. this time it's swimsuit themed.

PIXIV
MEGA

Some characters didn't make it, but the main casts are here.
I got too greedy wanting to fix everyone's rig again in a day, I messed up Aranea rig so badly in the process. And I just realized it after I'm done with the animations. so I had to redo the animations with the old rig lol. well, that's what backups are for. constant reminder to myself that backup is super important.

This week's petite is Young Luna.

Young Luna

...Thus ending this month's character's theme and revisits. The next old/popular character revisit would be in October. December theme is pretty obvious, but for October, I'd have to think up costumes for girls to wear from other video games, anime or shows. so ideas for characters are always welcome. I have several ideas.... something like : Ryne wearing Sailormoon outfit. ....or is that badly matched?  

And maybe Aranea with Ada Wong's costume?
....But October is still far away... I can brainstorm later. back to debuting other characters for now.

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

Might as well add another XV cast. It's Crowe from Kingsglaive.

I heard she shares the same face model as Lady from DMC 5. but I didn't use Lady's face here. it's from unused XV ingame model apparently. probably for a flashback scene like 7 did for Ifalna.

There is part of me that wants Kingsglaive casts to be the main characters in the main game.
we'll be playing SOLDIER boy again lol. or SeeD, mercenary and all kind of fun stuff.

Anyway, That leaves Cindy. oh..there is also Aera...though, she is just a green eyed luna....and there is Shiva too. I'd love to get Kingsglaive's Luna despite everyone hating her, but her unused model is really bad and unfinished. so... skip... (unless I can make her better with iclone's CC4 or something).

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

I'll return to my usual pace, And I want to smash someone's mum, debuting her next week.
there is also Paine and Lyna for July. that's the plan anyway. and I think that's it for now. 

Thank you for all the kind support and donations! m(_ _)m 
Stay safe, and see you again next week~

Hello~ Still alive? I'm half dead. or maybe only 1/4 dead, but Here I am again. it's the second week of the set.

PIXIV
MEGA

I think I've reached my limit on how much I can animate in a week. feel like I could still do more though if Blender not randomly crashing for some unknown reason.
I already animated some of the characters last week, but I ended up revising most of the animations, because it looked so bad when I look closely again. I don't know if the animations look better or worse after the revision. my sense numbed at a certain point.

Also added some new characters to the list. I wanted to just add Menphina from 14, but I'm reminded that I never animated more than 1 scene for some of the 12 goddesses too, so I added Nymeia and Azeyma as well. just blowjob scenes...since I haven't done any for them in the past. I could do more animations of them, but I chose to get some hours of sleep lol.

This week's petites are Kairi and TeenTifa.

<<all my VPN's won't work anymore to open Catbox. maybe they are finally banned>>

Kairi&TeenTifa

I'll use Pixeldrain for now despite instability during upload process compared to catbox.

I'm lucky it only failed the upload once. can't really choose a good one over here in my country. it is what it is. I bet the link'll get nuked sooner or later too, so...grab them while you still can.

The Teentifa rig is from an existing smutbase adult Tifa rig. I just swapped her hair, added her teen attire, adjusted the head and eyes to be bigger and overall body scale minimized.
pretty easy and fast. for the other characters that didn't make it, I'll try to include them in October or December when I do character revisit again with different themes. 
I don't know if I can keep the amount of animations on par to this month's release though.

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

I rigged M'naago this week. Dawntrail is getting closer, so I will start looking at some Au'ra and new FF14 characters to rig.

I remember her being custom deliveries npc or something. I used to GPOSE her a lot with Lyse back then.

I guess it's time to find some ideas for her threesome with Lyse.  maybe I 'll pair both of them on her debut when the time comes. or make her debut solo just like everyone else first.
I still haven't animated Lyna and Zero, so they will come first for July and August's FF14 release, in that order. that's the plan.

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

This month's XV will be the 3rd part of the swimsuit set. I already prioritized Aranea, Luna, Iris and Gentiana. there is also Young Luna in the mix.
Those characters are certain to appear, 2 solo animations for each. I'll try to do the others, but only if I'm able to make extra time slot, and not too tired.

After the XV release, I'll go back to my usual pace.

That is it! thanks for your kind support and donation as always m(_ _)m
I'm a bit worn out, and want to get some extra sleep lol. see you next week! 

And hello once again. I trust you are well? it's Terra this time.

PIXIV

The magitek is from FF14. had to make it bigger to fit 2 people. at first I wanted to set all the animations on top of the magitek. but I can only came out with 2 poses : sit riding or princess carry. can't really find a good camera angle with the princess carry, so I went with only the riding pose. just my usual skill issue.

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

This week, I rigged Shelke from DoC.

Seems like people dislike the design and characters in this game. well...I don't really care tbh. I see beautiful face, I rig.

I was actually planning to rig Rosso first. I like the mommy villain look. but I got sidetracked wanting to see Shelke up close.  her face mesh is not a bad one considering it's a PS2 model.  about the same as or better than FFX's.  

so I get her and see if I can make her look somewhat okayish in blender Eevee.

No normal maps, so I had to make new ones...not much geometry either. tried to upscale the diffuse texture, but that didn't help much. I'll save Rosso for another time. there is also Shalua. but I can't find her model. only old dead links left.

I don't think I want to revisit the game just to extract her with a model ripper. unless SE decided to remake the game. which is unlikely

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

Beginning the first week of June with Swimsuit Set part 1 followed by part 2 the week after. I'll add 1 more extra animation for some characters that made it into my free time slot this weekend.

I'm also preparing XV swimsuit set for the 3rd week. I'll try to do all the rigged XV characters (emphasis on "try").I will also try to animate 2 animations per character for the XV set. I'll prioritise Aranea, Luna, Gentiana and Iris. . I'm confident I can animate 2 solo animations for each one of them. I'll do the rest of the characters if I have extra time. Just trying to see my limit. after the XV set, I'll return to my usual pace.

thaaat's it for this week!

thanks for all the support and donations! m(_ _)m

take care and see you later!

And here I am again~ are you well? It's Monica & Iris, MonIris time.

PIXIV
MEGA

I spent lot of time trying to make the Physics cage to work on Iris' breast. end up discarding it and used the old trusty shapekeys just like how I did Nophica and Halone.

And you might have noticed that Monica whispered something to Iris. for those wondering what she said to Iris,  I'll leave that to your imagination. it was just a little detail I put on the spur of the moment. I'll be doing June swimsuit set too for XV girls after I'm done with the others. XV girls will have their own separate release. I'll try to animate all the rigged XV girls for June. not all in 1 scene though. I don't think I can do that yet. but at least 1 character per scene. 

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

It's Seven from Type-0

My first Type 0 girl. So might as well start with my most favorite.

She is my favorite of all the Class 0 girls. Just like Lightning and Aranea, she is cool,reticent and seems cold, but really caring deep down inside. 

Sice is my 2nd favorite after Seven. if it's not obvious already how I like my woman. well, eventually I'll rig and animate them all. maybe even Emina and the others...

but the thing about Emina and the other NPC models is,their model is bad. it'll look out of place. I'd have to redo her hair at least. and I don't have the motivation for it atm.

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

Terra /Tina is next. I'll try to make at least 3 animations of her as I'm also preparing for June swimsuit set.

Added new girls I'd like to revisit to the list for June swimsuit set... included 2 more petite characters as well. 1 of them is new. you just have to guess who from the picture above. There is still possibility to add more characters to the list If I'm able. that's...bit too many...So, I'll release the set in 2 parts. part 1 on the first week of June, part 2 on the second week.  then XV swimsuit set after. let's just hope I get enough sleep. it's good practice though.

That is all for this week!

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

See ya!
