With the release of Gravure Studio a little less than a month ago, I introduced a new shader model, scene lighting and post processing. The consequence of my decision broke compatibility with vanilla and/or third party models, by nature of making them far too bright.
In spite of this, I made the decision to go forward anyways because I am naturally always prioritizing the look and a...

Hello!
Today I'd like to show you a quick preview of an upcoming scene. I really like the sensual, more personal feeling of a POV style bathroom scene. I hope you enjoy it when it releases!
I only have one patron request left, but I had to take a break to do some scenework. I can't let costume requests monopolize all my ti...

Sync requested Lacerta from DOAX2 for Tina. He left the color at my discretion so I opted for a sultry semi opaque black silk like appearance for the top, which has a distinct kind of transparency from the wet t-shirts that've been highly requested. The less sultry version still has a tiny amount of transparency just because I like the effect, ...

Nehb requested a Famitsu special content costume for Honoka, but on Rachel. He asked for the malfunction to have the shirt slide under her breasts and support them in such a way that pushes them together even when her breasts are fully exposed. He also requested the Fundoshi get wet and slightly translucent. In order to accomodate this and made...

A47 requested Mila's Deluxe DOA6 outfit! He requested the bra be extra squishy which I obliged to the best of my abilities. There are some other caveats he requested which I will try and fulfill later, but I myself wanted to release this version right away as it's a perfect looking costume for Mila.

Hello everyone! I'd like to announce a new Patron tier, Zack Island Bronze. This is a more affordable tier with infinite slots, as opposed to Gold which naturally has to have a limit as it fulfills individualized requests.
I've been thinking long and hard about how to give people shiny perks and bonuses without doing things I'd rather not do, such as gate acce...

A new month has passed! The first month of Zack Island VIP has been a great success, and I really enjoy working to fulfill individualized requests!
I've liked all of your requests so far. We've had an interesting range of choices. I was surprised that Mila has gotten so much love! She's got two more requests in the queue.
At the time of publishing this article there are ...

Pantho requested this classic Ayane outfit, which I've named Indigo since I don't know if it has an official name. He asked for it to not have the ribbon and the sleeves on the back, so I decided to make them optional but still present with the panty toggle.
He also asked for it to be "a little bit tighter around the chest area"....
2023-05-01 04:11:40 +0000 UTC View PostAs you may have noticed, I've been releasing Zack Island VIP costumes individually just as raw costume data.

Richard Ayres made a rather open ended request, just stipulating that it be for Mila. He suggested her classic hoodie swimsuit when I pressed him a bit as it's his favorite, so I added the hoodie back to the swimsuit since it already exists, just sans the hoodie.

I've received this rather annoying message from Patreon today. Even though I've flagged this entire page for adult content, I've for whatever reason been informed that I cannot post adult images without making them Patron exclusive.
This will be somewhat confusing for public posters, as it will seem like I am paywalling content. I am not. All content will still be available ...

Fortune, a DOAX3 costume requested for Mai by VIP member zebrat1s!

He was also a little sneaky and tried to ask for something that wasn't specified in the P...

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying the Gravure Studio update. There's quite a bit to discuss about what I did, what I'm doing, and what I plan to do. I hope to clear up some confusion and perhaps give you a greater understanding of how much work went into this update.

This is another quick update, with the only bugfix being a crash when selecting Mai's Sakura costume (an important one because it's annoying to just crash when scrolling through costumes), and to add two Zack Island VIP costumes.
As always you can download the mod at the Mega Repo.
While any method for contacting me is fine, this channel is a convenient place for me to have a back and forth to hammer out the details of any request you fellas in the VIP group have. I've generated a link if you're not already in.
Here's a recap of completed and pending requests<...

This is a separate, standalone version of Gravure Studio that doesn't include any Gravure Studio models, and has all scene lighting adjusted to be compatible with default and non GS models.
You can download it on the MEGA repo as per usual:
https://mega.nz/folder/NFhG2bpJ#yZyIiHvuiHcgn1knT9...
You may have noticed in the readme, or seen for yourself, that Non-GS costumes don't look right in PP anymore. There's a good reason for this, I promise! When I said the visuals were completely overhauled, I meant it, and that also meant changing the shaders for all the models, in GS anyways!
I'll get into the technical details later if you're interested, but if you're not intere...
2023-04-21 00:18:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith Gravure Studio, I've implemented a new smart shader called UI Detect, which dynamically enables and disables certain effects like Ambient Occlusion and Depth of Field depending on the presence of certain UI elements. Unfortunately, since this is a rather hacky way of doing things, the process of making this work is rather tedious. Basically I have t...
