Black Cat Cafe (top 2 previews) has its 3rd machine segment nearly finished. I say 'nearly' because after they're all 'nearly' I have to bake the jiggle bone and adjust them all accordingly. If I do that early and then want to change something about the general animation, those adjustments are lost when I reenable the jiggle bones. So basically, everything gets finished to like 90%, then sits til the end to be completed.
    An example of what I mean is those chains at her ankles. In earlier WIP on this they were connected to thigh straps instead, which are now gone. That caused a slight adjustment to her leg position in all segments.
    Still not 100% sure of what music to use for Cafe. As I said on the Discord, I don't want to 'waste' a lot of music on a single project, not that I can't reuse music and will eventually though, and I'm not sure I have anything I can loop for an extended length that wouldn't become annoying.

    In other news, I've started a new Black Menagerie (bottom 2 previews) project as a 'side' project when not working on Cafe. Not sure why, but the parts meant to glow are coming out muted and dull. (The bars at the ankles for example). It's an odd issue I've not ran into before. As you can see it Cafe previews, it's not an issue there. The dildo bits meant to glow are glowing just fine. Maybe it's a general lighting issue.
    Who is the girl? Secret for now, but it isn't someone used before, and I might not have even chatted about having her at all anywhere. I've had her a while though and came across a really nice pic someone did with the model and an idea came to me.

    Some other very minor things have gone on; like who will be in Christmas 2025 (it's not even July!). As said before, I always want to be sure to get Christmas released on time, so I start early. The who and general what is decided. Music though, ugh. I hate trying to find Christmas ones I like and are useful.
    OC Character I've hired to have created was pretty close to finish. A few issue to solve, so she has more time to be worked on, but that's an exciting prospect. I might be able to sort something to introduce her later this year.
    A few more things I'm not thinking of right off, but minor anyways. Probably just testing things.

    Ever wonder what your character is doing during a loading queue? Do they just stand there? Do they idle like a Mortal Kombat character ready to fight? Do they talk to each other? Do they find themselves in interesting situations?

    Let's assume the last one....

    Just a little creation I thought would be fun to do. I don't play Marvel Rivals, so I don't know how accurate she is to the aesthetic of the game. I'm personally not overly fond of her though. Can't like them all though, right?

    A couple of quick QAs.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Black Cat Cafe is coming along still. Two sex segments nearly finished (there's things to do for each around the same time, so they hang in a limbo for a bit til the end, like adjusting her hair per motion.) The crotch view is machine level 1 for 20 seconds. The side view is machine level 3 for 60 seconds. This video, if I'm not careful, could easily hit an hour or more.

    Why is that, you wonder? There are 10 machine levels and the times for each range from 5 seconds to 5 minutes in 5 second intervals. That's several combos. Since this machine isn't a 'turn on and it ramps up slowly' kind of thing but is controlled by the viewers of the stream (in video concept, there isn't a real stream going on dictating anything about this project), it will end up flipping from a level 6 for 60 seconds to a level 2 for 10 seconds back to a 5 for a minute and 45 seconds, then another 5 but for 5 seconds, each at different time lengths all based on the token donation, etc. See what I mean? It could end up pretty massive. I'll try to keep it decent though.

    Some segments will be like the examples; "Full body" style, where you see as much of her as works well. Others will be of focus points, like just her eyes/face for 15 seconds for reactions, or just her breasts for a minute, so on and so forth. I'll try not to bog it down though and make sure it has a nice flow, but as I said previously about this project, the main idea is to really show that prolonged event wearing her down more and more and not by having fades spanning long timeframes like Hostile Takeover.

    Also, yes, as shown by one of the examples, I'm going to try to focus some specific fetish points; like feet. Still some later concepts I'm not sure if I want to have in it or not, but this is a long project, so it's still rather early anyways.

    Lastly for this WIP, for those who see the dildos on the machine and wonder about them; both spin, but the anal one is far more special. The first four rings of rigged 'buttons' spin in different directions, the first two at one speed and the second too double that, with the final ring being, you guessed it, electric. Level 1-5 is vaginal, 6-9 is both with the electric ring just zapping butt checks, with level 10 being full insertions of both, so...

    She's in for an interesting ride.

    Things are moving along with Black Cat Cafe, though my working time is slowed for a while. Fiancé had surgery, so helping the recovery has taken the lead. Here is a rendered section of the intro; part of the limo ride. Nothing fancy. No worries too, the music doesn't stay so solemn.
    Also started another Black Menagerie (fully synced to music). I won't give much detail though until it's for certain going to work. Lastly, I've obtained a few more nice models; Cindy Aurum from Final Fantasy, Tinkerbell from Disney (3D version), Aurore Cassel from Cyberpunk and Warhammer 40K Sister of Battle.

    Other than that, it's been a quiet week.

    Not sure if I showed any of this at any point awhile back when I first started it. I might have somewhere in a Weekly WIP at random. At any rate, I finished it up the last few days. Enjoy.

    Ben has a special day in mind for Gwen. Just an idea I had a long time ago, but never got around to getting it ready in time. Just a quick soundless mini vid. Enjoy.
