It's shep's turn to get rotated. A bit of fluff tweaking, much happier with the result (and it doesn't grind Blender to a halt). The fluff did hide some of the definition, but it's a worthy trade. Shep is @afevis-ad.sheppy.gay Model by me. c:

Doing a turntable render when you have a giant ass tail can be difficult. Meant to do multiples including the suit and what not, but it took longer to render than I expected. Model & Character by me, the fish.

I need fancy renders to make an actual price sheet with. Guess that'll be today's project. :l

I got jelly of someone else's fluffy model, so I decided I needed to learn how to do it myself. It took awhile, but I'm happy with this for a first attempt at fluff (using Ruadri's setup). Will probably work on it a bit more in the days to come. Shep is @afevis-ad.sheppy.gay <3

I am back in the groove. A WIP shot. Might have overdone the definition in spots, but I'm just kinda proud of the chest and arms this time around. Forced myself to try and do the arm muscles properly this time.

Forced myself to power through the fog. Redid shep's junk, and touched up shark's facial rig, so what better way to show them in one shot (or several)? Shep is @afevis-ad.sheppy.gay , models are both done by me.

Four days in a row of anxiety just ruining my attempts to work on 3d stuff. Just. Nothing feels right. :<

Was looking forward to doing 3d stuff tonight after a long week, only for an anxiety attack to sucker punch me out of nowhere. Screw you, brain.

Brushing up on rendering and compositing. Using it as an excuse to have @afevis-ad.sheppy.gay ruin his sharkboy. Just wholesome stuff, you know. c:

Realizing sharks can't wear normal backpacks and some chest rigs. Keller might have to settle for a tactical corset. I'm okay with this.

www.gamespot.com/articles/not... Good. I think it really helps that they've cultivated a style that's noticeably outside of the shitty generic ouroborus that is genAI.

Whose bright idea was it to put RGB lines on a sneaking suit? Probably the same genius that thought they should turn on when the lights go out. Shark is @kiynatonis.bsky.social Model & Render by me, background ported by Sol (Open3DLab)

You okay? Wanna touch some abs?

Pros of doing 3d: I can just lay on the hubby while it renders for 10 minutes. Cons: If you forget one thing you have to redo the entire render. Or is that just another pro?

It's time to swing open the doors. fishemporium.carrd.co ToS, prices, contact info all in one handy place. Once I finish my current batch of work up, I'll be opening up slots, and tracking projects through the Discord server. :>

Finally getting around to setting up a proper site for ToS and prices and... IhavenoideawhatI'mdoing.

Another WIP. @kiynatonis.bsky.social wanted his own version of the suit. Going to work on the shader so the pink parts emit a little glowy light.

Someone's got a guilty conscience #Vyper / #Wraith / #Deadlock

And another for today. Been doing more work on the shark girl to try and make her look not quite like genderbent Kell. Also reworking her hair. Better, I think.

I see the Warframe devs remembered how the game got an M rating in the first place. Also lmao, I kinda hope that's canonically how that particular character goes out.

I think I'm developing a thing for bodysuits and masks? Either that or I accidentally designed Kell to be perfect for both. A cheesy WIP render since I haven't done one in a hot minute.

Today's inspiration

Another pass at the bodysuit. Slimmed it down considerably so that I can actually model the straps and plates on. I like the weave texture, even if it took an unhealthy amount of time to line up everything.

Almost done two more rigs. I think tonight I put together a price sheet or something for 3d, at least for models and rigging. I'm even finding the rigging part fun now.

So not sure if anyone is up for this, but. www.twitch.tv/kellervo Doing a test run of the model as a vtuber. c':

If you're making a sci fi lore thing you've gotta have a bodysuit. It's just the rules. I want to add more details but I'm kind of digging the molded look on some of the pieces.

I will say, though, I think modeling clothes for shark boy first is going to be good in the long run. I have to tailor everything to account for the fact he's got the thick tail and legs.

Decided to restart the clothing from the ground up. Jockstrap seems to fit better, though I absolutely -have- to shrink his junk for it to not be just a comically bad fit.

This was neat. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Now that I've been able to keep a consistent routine at the gym, I'm kind of realizing the part I like most is the aching after? I feel more accomplished when I feel like I've absolutely worked myself to the breaking point, instead of when my body's adjusted to the strain.

Testing with phys bones and outline/rim lighting. Gotta make the eyelids animate a little more smoothly, and maybe do some clothes. This was somehow easier than the VRC part, just more tedious.

Anyways.

youtu.be/QnyFQhgfs8c?... Well I guess I'll be playing this. c:

Been working on learning Unity for porting avs to VRC, and... what if I streamed again? 🤔

Happy Willy Wonka Experience Anniversary to all who are celebrating.

It's rather telling that when I first did Kell's rig, it was a multi day affair. I was able to get this set up in an evening. I'm so glad I've been able to stick with this and focused on my 3d. It has paid off immensely.

I redid the whole rig, and spent some time setting up a more responsive face and hair rig. Redid the hair and eyelashes too. +50% Fabulous, -60% Poly Count

Thought it'd be fun to set up my model and rig for VR. Struggled with it all day only to find out that ARP rigs are shit for it and VRC doesn't support the UVs I set up. So I am trying to figure out how I can fix this without having to start the texturing and rigging process over again.

Wanna come on a hot date with me? We're gonna eat nuggies whilst dropping EMP grenades through the skylight on the roof of an AI data center.

This might seem like a silly thing to be proud of, but... finally going back and touching up areas of the model that I haven't touched in awhile. Learned some new tricks that made detailing not only easier, but also pretty fun. Sharkboy's equipment looks SO much better now.
