Hi everyone,
I just wanna share an example of the work I do with the eyes textures for the models as it's probably not something you notice or know about unless you can see a direct comparison.
On top is typical looking daz genesis 8 eyes with an abrupt separation between the iris and sclera, making it look flat and fake. That's what I get from 98% of the daz ports I use as base. 2022-11-09 20:08:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi,
I've been tweaking the skin material a bit today to try to improve it and wanna share some results. It's subtle though so open your eyes wide ! I've worked with some extreme lighting to push the limits.
I'm not sure which models I'll update with those changes but probably not many as it's not major.
First fix concerns the specular map since I somehow ended up inverting it ...

If you don't know what this is, I've made a little trailer for fun : [Trailer]
The tutorial on how to use it is here : [Tutorial], it's a bit outdated but still mainly valid.
Main changes since the video :
Quick news to say I've made progress on the outfit library tutorial and I'm confident now for an early november release.
I have all the audio and recordings, just need to finish the editing.
The library is all packed up, it's an healthy 4.4Gb baby and 6.5Gb when unpacked so make sure you have some free space.
It will be a tier 2 exclusive but I might add a few tier 1 items lat...

Edit v1.1 : fixed an issue with the UI script when using multiple models in a scene + fixed vampire teeth
Thought I'd be great to have both De Santa women to play with.
She has 4 outfits (2 with texture alts), 5 hairstyles and 2 skin textures (young, old)

Hi everyone,
In preparation for the upcoming outfit library release, I have fixed a small issue with the addon. An october update has been uploaded.
The shared textures have also been updated to V9 but honestly it's a very small update so you can live without it. It's a slight improvement (I hope) of the bump maps that will give a bit more details on the nipples and lips, nothing gr...

Hey everyone,
I'm glad to say that I've reached a milestone where I'm done adding new items to the updated outfit library, at least for the first release.
I've mainly been focusing on adding tops since the last update so every category now has a decent amount of content.

Here's the 2B update with the new outfit voted in the last poll.
As patrons you get to play with it first, I'll upload the model on smutbase as well later this month.
She has 4 hairstyles, 4 outfits.
I've reworked a lot of stuff, fixing everything I could. Blender physics...
2022-10-09 01:24:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Since 2B won the last poll, I'm working on updating the model.
I've started yesterday and fixed a lot of stuff already but I want to add a new outfit as well though I don't know which...so I'm asking you.
I'm only talking about the outfit, not the entire character...cybernetic limbs are out of the scope as well unless I manage to make it work easily.

Kind of a follow up to the previous set. I've improved the skin a ton since then so I wanted to show it a bit more this time.
It's a good showcase of what you can achieve with the latest skin shaders. This is Eevee btw.

Hi everyone,
A bunch of models have been updated with the skin improvements shown yesterday and 3D eyebrows have been added to the witcher girls (example above).
It includes : Ciri, Yen, Triss, Rey, Trilla, Cara, Bo & Faith
Be aware you will need the shared textures V8 and blender 3.3

So I've finally figured out how to use bump maps properly (at last) and have been trying to find a good node setup.
This is the current state that seems to resist different light configurations so far.
The only drawback is that it requires really hi-res textures to look decent up close, we're talking 8K or 16K res here.
I think I'll make the 8K bump maps as default for t...
2022-09-24 12:59:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a little while since I've done a poll.
This time will be different : every one of those models will be done so your votes here will influence the order in which they'll be done.
The first one won't happen before next month though as I've already released 6 models in september plus an update for the pose library so I'm going to focus on personal projects and the outfit libr...

Edit v2.5 : fixed an issue with the UI script when using multiple models in a scene
I'm gonna upload this one on smutbase but I'm uploading it here as well for your convenience.
She has 1 hairstyle and 2 outfits.
Comes with the same improvements as Bo-Katan I just released.
Edit v1.3 : fix for eyebrows, thanks @Jinx Shaco for the report. Also the UI script has been removed, use the unified UI instead.
She comes with 2 eyes color, 2 hairstyles and 1 outfit
There's also a helmet and the black saber not showing in previews.

Hi everyone,
It's been a little while so I thought I'd make a quick progress report on the outfit library.
The number of items has been at least doubled and progress is going well.
In addition, a majority of items have alternative textures that can change the style quite a lot so in reality it's a lot more than what you see. The last picture shows an example.
What's left...

Edit v1.3 : fixed an issue with the UI script when using multiple models in a scene + materials updated
As seen in the mandalorian series, she's eaten more than a few salads that's for sure.
I have at least one more coming from the mandalorian...maybe two, we'll see.
Btw, please leave politics away (her being fired I mean), I really don't care to know about it...

Hi everyone,
Blender 3.3 changed an old node called "separate RGB" to "separate colors".
I'm not sure why they did it (most probably geometry nodes) but it will make any model saved in blender 3.3 incompatible with older blender versions.
If you wanna use the latest models like Rey, Trilla and probably the witcher girls too, you'll have to switch to blender 3.3, otherwis...

Before I forget entirely to post it. [Infos here if you don't know what this is]
224 new poses added (about half are just mirrored though).
Edit v1.3 : fixed an issue with the UI script when using multiple models in a scene + materials updated + better UI integration of the Darth alternative
She wasn't planned at first but when working on Rey, I thought I needed some Jedi robes for the outfit library and one thing leading to another, here is Trilla.
I've honestly always been impressed by the overall qua...

Apparently I missed some textures when packaging the shared textures, sorry about that.

At last, she took quite some time.
Compared to smutbase version, I redid pretty much everything including materials, rigging etc. + I added 1 new outfit. And of course she has all the latest features from my models....

Hey everyone,
Thanks for voting and commenting on the polls, your inputs have been helpful.
I'm still a bit unsure if I'll keep making models in the long run but for now I'm staying so here's what I've come up with. Some changes should reduce the strain on my end without much impact on yours :
1. I've heard the feedback about the skin not being detailed enough. I believe...

1. If you had a scene with a male model, would you use one of my models ? If not, can you explain why ?
2. If there was a case where a female character exists from multiple model creators and you had to pick only one, which would you choose ? Please explain yo...
