Judy's Jam - Cyberpunk 2077

• Judy Alvarez tried to hack the wrong server and now gets to test some new hardware in her software.

• Another loop. Most of the projects I had started last year are being turned into loops instead of longer animations. No, I'm not becoming a 'looper'. I'm just clearing older projects off so the longer ones, like Sancus 2, have breathing room. 2-4 projects going total from now on. I got a little carried away before.\

• The Judy model is nice. So is the Pela (OC) model, both by Another Alias. Since Pela is so nice, and an OC, she'll probably end up a background extra in various forms in other things as well. Tech here, fellow captive there, etc.

• I also admit I've hit a rut lately. I'm a little burned out. Still releasing things though, so. Judy makes the 3rd or 4th thing this year already I think. Planning on taking some time in late March to collect myself. A week maybe at most. Probably will still work on something though.

• Hope you enjoy Judy.

Weekly WIP #48 The Wall of Text

• Alrighty. The Poll Results ended with More Machines/Less People and Expressions Closeups being tied. That's not that surprising. Machines were the main focus when I started. I've gotten away from it a bit, trying other things, but always meant to get back to them. So now it's official that I shall. Machines, machines, machines. Same with expressions. I've been told I do them well, so showing that, especially closer, makes sense. The close views on Morinth and Samara were nice, I thought.

• Some views of Judy in her situation below. Maybe she tried to hack into Heat Inc. in the Cyberpunk universe; who knows. She's now the 'product tester' on one of the machines. I'm making a technician, "Tech #9", present for it. Ignore the manual she's holding. It's not the correct texture yet. This is meant to be a progressive animation; it will start out showing the scene and a general movement/animation. Set the mood, so to speak. Then a later one will have it 'progressed' to the 'next level', where the Tech has added upgrades or changed settings on the machine. Then the next animation will 'progress' etc. It was originally going to be one of those "1k Followers, 2k Followers" changing animations for X (Twitter), but eh. For the curious, "Tech #9" is someone's OC they released to the public. I'm making a spin off of it, for my own needs. I've been editing textures and such, like her Heat Inc. work shirt. I'll post more info on her later.

•  Star Wars featuring Rey has been resized again. It was a loop, then going to be a major project, now back to a smaller size as a mini project? I have too many things going again, and more keep popping in, so I'm 'weeding out' projects that I don't want to stop or force. Rey is pretty good as is, just not a large scale. Waiting on the Sandcrawler prop for the background, then it's render time. October 2nd is the date for the Sandcrawler being finished, though that can be sooner. But it will be released ASAP.

• I was going to add a litttle wip trailer video for a new Mass Effect idea I threw together one night as a break, but I think I'll wait til it's more of an actual thing. No point in getting hype/hope up too early. However; I will say it's Indoctrination themed. Or at least my crazy take on it in some sexual machine way. I did post the crappy trailerish thing on my Discord though. So the idea is out. I like it a lot too, so it's gonna be a thing. Probably not til next year though, since so much going already.

• Which leads into Halloween. Hermione is not going to be ready for Halloween. I've hardly touched that one and it has a long way to go. I have issues getting one ready for Halloween. Maybe because it's so close to Christmas or I just need to start it like, real early in the year. At any rate, as I'd said before about it, that's ok. The theme of werewolves works for Harry Potter any time of the year, so a later release is fine. I might try to squeak out a loop for Halloween of something though, but who knows.

• Mainly because of Christmas 2023. I have its theme set and I've been getting it ready. It's going to be an undertaking, for sure. Why, you ask? Well for one it's slatted to have 17 girls so far. On machines. Small ones, but 17 of those as well. Which means 34 animated 'actors'. Yeah, it's kinda big. And no, it actually doesn't have Gwen Tennyson this time. Amazing. I thought she could use a break from it, and the idea I wanted to do needed more than just her. I still need a good song for it. Instrumental this time.

• So, Rey is the next minor project to be released, soonish, then the focus is only on Christmas 2023. If I feel a touch burnt out doing it, like I did last year with Gwen's Santa Claus (shoot me for using that song), I'll poke some other things, which might yield a small loop; but focus focus focus. Christmas is the yearly release. I always want to have something for it. Christmas 2023 is technically a major/big project, but it doesn't fall in the category of subs/free. It's a freebie. So, the next sub only project is still a mystery. Even to me.

Weekly WIP #46

• So I was really impressed with @SFMModelMaker's Sif, Freya and now Thrúd models that I bought them all, grabbed the two Back 4 Blood characters off SFMLab.com and hatched an idea for the God of War girls. The Knightly Order of Heated Desires, aka Heat Inc. in 'olden times', have a dungeon. I pieced together a quick Sif scene. I'll be refining it and making Freya and Thrúd's later, combining them into a single project and then adding sound. But I thought the Sif as is might be appreciated for now. Sort of like a trailer. And look; a foot shot. With toes flexing.

• It occurred to me that my fictitious Black Menagerie Club, as well as Heat Inc., fit really well in Cyberpunk. Corrupt Mega Corp with their own mercs and agendas and all that. So, when hacker Judy Alvarez got caught trying to hack into Heat Inc. files, the sent her off to a Ramma'Jam Tech Lab at Heat Inc. I thought the up-close face shot was nice, so I found a few instances during what I have of the video so far that looked really good. Also retextured a shirt to an OC to be the technician. Reminds me of a Hooters shirt. I like it. Also made a magazine cover for the video, with intent on making more for it and for others later.

• Hermione is still under works. Got a little distracted this week with new models and ideas. I have time though.

• Catwoman also got some attention. Her lighting effects are coming out fantastic. It's what videos like Ashely Graham should have been in that regard. Her entire video is laid out for shots, I just have to set the lights in each, add some more to the overall animations and adjust for cameras.

• Rey from Star Wars has been upped from a small loop based on a pic to full video status, including alien voice lines with hopes of finding a voice actress for some Rey lines. I'm looking forward to that Sandcrawler port when it's finished.

• Lastly, Guan Yinping has been shelved for a bit. I have so many things going I need to narrow it some and she has the least interest for me right now. Probably some other ones I'm not thinking of right now that are shelved too, I'm even sorting this year's Christmas ideas, so yeah, lot of things going.
