Life is Strange - Mini Release Loop

•  Life is Strange: Rachel Amber and Chloe Price
•  Black Menagerie: Cyberpunk 2077 - Panam Palmer WIP

•  Mini Release: A little throw together from a practice/concept with Rachel and Chloe from Life is Strange. Mostly trying new light/camera settings along with more constraint practice.

• Ever since Max won the poll for a project awhile back I'd wanted to do more with the girls, just never got to them again. Too many things to do, so many people to pick to do them. This mini release uses models from MMmallow (no, that's not a typo. Lots of M). Max's model in Long Night was as well. Some of the best models ever made, in my opinion.  Very advanced for when they were created and rare to see as well, since MMmallow is no longer around. I'm lucky in that regard. I have another project in the works using LiS girls; those models are by Lord Aardvark; maker of most of the DoA models I've used as well as the Mass Effect ones. I'm being smart about it, unlike poor Panam, so current issues shouldn't crop up again.

•  Speaking of, Panam is still being rendered. There was, at least, several camera angles set to be used before the session went screwy, giving me a lot to sift and splice; even if there's gonna be some jank. I can render what is already made, but changing much causes crashes. Background characters were hardly animated and the animation was never fine tuned to the camera angles; thus, some things probably won't line up or look correct. I might try some different settings in Sony Vegas, like the new effects I used for that EZ-PZ commercial. See if that helps make it something decent.

•  The new LiS mentioned (not this mini release) isn't a Black Menagerie; but more of that is coming for sure. Like New Cure with Mass Effect FemShep, Panam had/has her shot, so moving on to another theme. I'm still really leaning towards a Tekken character, though I do have a really good Mortal Kombat sounding clubish song.

Weekly WIP #33

• The main section for Valentine's Day is finished and ready for rendering. A few transitional bits I still want to create for the flow of it all and the Nemesis credit/bonus ending for Investor Tier and all will be ready to render and compile in Sony Vegas. I'm hoping for a release in about 2 weeks on the 6th of May. Around 5 hours of work was scrapped on it the other day. The position for Nemesis just sucked. The one I have now works great and makes more sense.

• The OC (Original Character) I'm having made needs a place to live in her Mass Effect universe. So I'm scene building her one. I almost picked a pretty place, like the upper Citadel or Illum, then I almost picked a 'typical' place, like Omega. Instead, I chose Zada Ban. (For the curious/interested https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Zada_Ban). Very rough throw together for it so far, mostly just to get the idea of it going. Lot of texture edits in it's future, for sure. And it still has the potential to be somewhere else instead, should I change my mind.

• Arm Binder time, maybe. Max: Long Night is one of my higher rated animations on Rule34.com/video, so Life is Strange seemed a decent choice for another smaller project, maybe. It's not 100% going to be a thing, just a preview of a possible thing. This time with Chloe Price. Again, maybe. I have plenty of ideas, and several of them being sequel types, and a bunch of started concepts, so it might get lost in the mix.
