Hi Everyone,
Yesterday we lost a Patreon but overnight gained two more!
Over the past few months we’ve received a lot of feedback from you guys and it’s all been so overwhelmingly positive.
One thing we do worry about is over posting and updating, but we just like to keep the releases coming and you all in the loop.
We’ve had a few questions so we thought we’d ...

"Leo (July 23 - August 22) is represented by the lion, and these spirited fire signs are the kings and queens of the celestial jungle. They're delighted to embrace their royal status: Vivacious, theatrical, and passionate, Leos love to bask in the spotlight and celebrate themselves."
The first in our series of Zodiac themed tattoos.

Our next summer morph is not one but two characters.
Who doesn't like twins?
The Tham-Boon twins are our third installment in the summer babes set. As always we wanted to have a diverse bunch. The more traditional Thai face shape is something we wanted to try for some time.
Twin A and Twin B are from the coast of Thailand. They like to party day and night, often from one int...

Today I was helping Leo out with some lighting. I never thought to export the lighting I make or even cameras for that matter. I didn't think it would be useful to anyone.
But just in case here is a very simple set up:
A main light - Adjust the luminosity and spread in parameters to change the intensity.
Back Light - The nice glow in...

Stefanie was created for our friend and Patreon Leo.
A beach babe for certain, Stefanie loves the sea air, cocktails and a good time. However unlike the rest of her pals, she takes the night life over the sun and sea. There isn't a club that doesn't know her name and not a single person drawn into the club scene that doesn't recognize her face.
Enjoy Opus in all her glory,

Finally!
It has taken some time, opacity in substance painter is a pain in the ass, but Lewis finally unlocked its secrets today and has knocked up some test renders.
Again big thanks to Hexdrake for pushing us into Geoshells and Tattoos again.
Geoshells we feel are the way forward, stepping away from LIE.
There are a fe...

Inspired by actual body paint designs, the Zebra bodypaint ended up becoming kind of a character in its own right.
It could easily be used to make some kind of anthro sci-fi or fantasy race, it works as gang / tribal paint, used as an artistic statement or for more fetished renders. It is at a depth where our other geoshells will work on top of it (Thanks to Hexdrake's explanation on Me...

As always there is no rest for the wicked. However despite life for both of us being respectively very busy and hectic, we have managed to keep a decent pace of releases going.
Due to a mix of having the best sales on RenderHub last month, getting a bundle of new Patreons (thank you very much guys) and learning substance painter, our zest for Daz is at an all time high.
As things ...

Hailing from Royal comes The Pariah. Born an outsider, he entered the underworld young and grew within the city's underbelly. Now he uses the tools he has grown with to lead a lucrative but also very bloody lifestyle.
The Pariah was created many moons ago way back in 2001, long before our entry into Daz. Inspired by gritty pulp, 80's action movies and 2000AD.
Redemption is at his ...
The Pariah was the protagonist from a comic I came up with when I was 13. Inspired by pulp novels, 80's action and reading a lot of 2000AD.
In order to get a table selling my artwork at the MCM in London and the LFCC I had to have a comic book, so I turned my 13 year old ideas into a comic that secured me a place on the convention circuit for a good 4 years.
Through this I found m...

Starting our summer themed releases, here is Mavra.
The perfect base for a gym bunny, beach bombshell or sexy criminal, she is now yours for G8F, 8.1F and G9.
Happy rendering.

For the sake of equal opportunities you can now prep any G9 model for some slicing and dicing.
This one had some issues at being only 0.002 distance from the skin, so we also changed the Summer Bodypaint G9 to 0.02 just to be safe, despite there being no errors present.
The next post will be somthing new. The G8F Burnt Soul will take a while so we will have a break to work on a ne...

It is here!
Summer bodypaint for G9!
As we stated before each geoshell has to be completely made from scratch for each G8 / G9 version.
Thankfully now we have the base models set up with the correct opacity layers in substance it is just a case of painting onto the model and exporting it.
Expect many more of this kind of thing and tattoos incoming. As now we are und...

To commemorate the inspiration, joy and Daz progress our late friend Aimar gave us. We have released the model we made him for free.
Shes over 250mb so rather than splitting the files you can download her here:

When starting out in the food industry it is important to know what meat comes from where, how to divide a carcass up and where the choice meats for said dish will be best taken from.
Now with Choice Cuts any cannibalistic butcher, alien or beast can make their dinner with the precision required. No diagram needed!
This was a Halloween concept from last year but we had no idea how t...

Horrors from the realms that straddle ours sometimes can poke through. From the plane of fire, war and misery come the burnt souls.
Violent and seemingly incapable of thought or reason, they are best avoided. Leave it to the professionals.
The burnt soul is a geoshell for G9 with elements of translucency, designed to work with the characters pre-existsing skin tone. It has three l...

There was a small directory issue with the Summer Bodypaint for G8F.
It is now fixed and can be re-downloaded.
Thanks as always for the support!

The G8F will be a little delayed as I am still ironing out the details of the G9, which should be released tomorrow.
It is now 4k in its textures with fairly decent surface detail. While I have dampened the lurid reds a little, in daylight or well lit renders it appears as above.
I feel personally it benefits from atmospherics, low lighting / spotlights to really add the creep, bu...

Inspired by VFX makeup this geoshell melds with a characters skin tone to create a lurid B movie style horror skin.
We personally think it works best in darker scenes as it is quite bright in parts.
This is for G9 but we will also get a G8 version sorted and both uploaded before the end of the weekend.
Have a great weekend!

It was just a test, but Ash and a few others liked it. So here it is as a usable asset with 6 different preset loads.
A few raver neons, some wet, some dry, all hopefully fun.
Happy rendering!

Today I managed to map out a G9 model in substance. I thought I'd start with a few classic warpaint designs. As they are Geoshells instead of LIE I could add texture and depth, so it looks like legit paint.
Each comes with 6 preset colours but if you click the Geoshell, go to head in the surfaces tab then change the base colour you can change them to anything you like.
This month ...

The good news is we have finally broken the back of our learning.
It has been a week but while Ash worked on the harem morphs substance painter has progressed nicely.
After watching around 16 youtube videos about various aspects I managed to not only understand how to paint on top the Daz models but also how to make translucency layers and export textures etc.

Zuri is a lover. She loves life, she adores her part in it and those she encounters while appreciating the world around her.
A firm friend to nature and its beauty she can often be found in more rural locations away from the busy pace of more metropolitan living.
With a big heart and a nice curvaceous form she makes for a good alternate to break the mold when rendering our more ty...

Hiba, like the ocean, is as capable of silky graceful caress as she is a thunderous torrent of destruction.
Fit, agile and full of grace, Hiba enjoys being in the lime light, front of stage and taking the glory she believes she deserves. Her pleasant looks and charm soon fade when others try to cast a shadow upon her.
Add her to your rendering toolkit today and give her another ch...

Dulce may seem at first like somewhat of a star gazer and a dreamer, a woman who likes to spend her time idle staring into nothing and passing the days away.
It is often wrong to make assumptions on face value and in Dulce's case this is no different. Her vacant stare often has her locked in her past and thoughts linked deep intro the future. Despite her youth, there is not many places s...

Bai Qui makes up for her slight stature in a grace and interlect that baffles most that encounter her. Quick witted and incredibly dexterous she is able to get herself into and out of any situation she chooses.
Quick to temper and a reputation for destruction, Bai Qui is not a woman to be toyed with.

Adea is body confident, self assured and successful, however she is always wary of what the fates hold for her.
She has a perfect beach body and is perfect for sensual summer renders.
