A peaceful day - Render assets [Tier 4+]

So here's the blend file for latest render.

I had to change a few things because some stuff came from paid addons, namely Cell Fluids and Physical Starlight Atmosphere. As a result the water will not be animated and will look different. The lighting will be different as well.

Other than that the file is the same as the one I used with all assets and all needed textures packed d...

A peaceful day (video)

This is the video version of the renders released earlier.

It took 11 complete hours of rendering despite limiting to 1 min per frame. Not even counting post process.

Question - outfit library

What kind of items would you like to see more of in the outfit library ? Outfits from existing characters ? Casual outfits ? Shoes ? Tops ? Pants ?

A peaceful day

Alright, here are the stills first.

Two variants with Arthur/Sadie & John/Bonnie, and also a Black&White version because it kinda makes sense.

I noticed too late the render resolution was "only" 4K so it will have to do for this one.

The last one is blender's output as usual for comparison purposes. Post process was mainly giving it a sort of soft milky/dreamy look, p...

Updates for all RDR2 models

I've updated all RDR2 models with various fixes detected while working on the render.

Also here's a final preview before I start the render process.

Switch to blender 4.2 and upcoming

Quick news to say that going forward I'm switching to blender 4.2 (4.2.1 precisely), so Bonnie is gonna be the last model done in blender 4.1.

What's next : first I need to finish the rdr 2 render, hopefully by next week. After that, I'm not 100% sure yet but here's a possible hint : "Follow the white rabbit. Knock, knock". I'll confirm that a bit later.

Bonnie Mac Farlane Model Release

Shared textures update

Update for upcoming models, both males and females.

This is mainly to add some clothing normal maps and male body hair.

[See stickied post for tiers links]

PS : the models will be released very soon, probably by tuesday. I've decided not to wait until I'm done with the render.

Preview

I am finally done with the models and started working on the Red Dead Redemption render.

Here's a little preview to show the overall mood I'm going for. Try to imagine the sound of flowing water, slow wind in the trees, birds singing and maybe some bees.

For a while I thought I could never transform my idea into an actual scene and almost dropped it entirely. There's still a lot to...

Update on upcoming models

Quick progress report : Bonnie is done, Arthur is done.

John is ~40% done I'd say. Body/outfit textures and materials are done. Now remains making the custom body morph, fitting the outfit and rigging.

In order to be faster, I was initially planning to use existing daz ports for males, as I used to do...but despite the fact they come from someone I consider serious, I guess I can't ...

Sadie Adler V2 Model Release

First release of 4 for RDR2, the others will come later.

The model, outfits and textures have been redone from scratch.

She has 4 outfits, 3 hairstyles, 2 body textures.

There is a custom property on the hats that you can access from the UI to fit the hair into the hat.

[See stickied post f...

Concept

Ultra early wip test for fun, not sure if I'll see it through but thought I'd share.

Nothing's final at all, especially head and hair that are just proxys for the test.

WIP

Arthur is coming around just fine ! This particular game model has a single material shared by all meshes, hence the horror show when I put the diffuse face texture.

Joke aside, I'm done with Sadie Adler and nearly done with Bonnie MacFarlane. Arthur is 25% done and John is 0% but both should be a bit faster than the girls.

Since I haven't even started working on the render...

Blender 4.2 new EEVEE

As you may know, blender 4.2 comes with a brand new EEVEE engine that supports "ray tracing", or rather screen space ray tracing which means it will calculate global illumination and reflections for everything that is visible on the screen.

It's a step forward and overall my models seem to hold up fine as far as I can tell.

The first picture shows the result with default settings an...

Addons update (blender 4.1 & 4.2)

With the release of blender 4.2, I've updated the UI to support the new addon format that will be required from now on. Do not use 4.2 version of the UI on lower blender versions.

It includes a small bug fix with expression lists where some unwanted morphs could appear there.

The version for 4.1 has been updated as well (v2.1.39). This one will still work on blender 4.2 but t...

Bunny Suit Release - Outfit Library

As teased earlier, I've added a new outfit to the outfit library (part 2).

It has 3 colors + a toggle for the stockings (fishnet or not fishnet, that is the question).

The pasties are visible by default when you bring it from the library but they will clip with the leotard so pick one or the other.

WIPs

Hi there,

RDR2 will be my next target with at least Sadie and Arthur. I've had a render in mind for a long while with them that I really hope I can achieve as I imagine it.

For now I'm done with Sadie's head/body shape, as well as body textures. Up next : rigging&materials for eyelashes, eyebrows, hairs and outfits.

Then Arthur, then the render, then model releases...long ...

Jaheira Model Release

Finally done with her, she has 4 outfits and 1 hairstyle.

Body textures baked from the game model. I just added some 3d eyebrows on top.

[See stickied post for tiers links & requirements]

Changelog:

v1.1 : fix for IK

v1.0 : initial release

News

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of news, just wanted to keep you updated a little bit.

_Progress & upcoming stuff

I am nearly done with the Jaheira model which should come very soon. I said I would finish her so I stand by it but it's been a drag and motivation isn't there so I'll probably skip making a render with her.

After that it should...

Render Assets [Tier 4]

Last release for the day (and for a while), which makes 3 models, an UI update, a pose library update and assets.

Latest blend file is available for Tier 4.

Everything is packed in the blend file so you can see how it was done.

Map is from ElenaChatNoir : Open3DLab • Beach...

Pose Library Part 2 Release

Around 860 new poses, 1720 counting mirrors.

[See stickied post for tiers links & requirements]

Mei Model Release

Third and last model for today, but I'm not done with content yet.

I don't really plan to use that one. It was made with a specific patron in mind which has been silently sticking around for a while now and does some of the best renders around. I don't want to put too much of a spotlight on him/her, if you know, you know. Hope you'll have some use for her.

I chose to go with her "ci...

Peter Parker / Spider-man Model Release

From the first game.

He's got 1 hair, 2 outfits.

If you use the mask, there's a custom property accessible in the UI to hide the face. It avoids ears sticking out.

On both pants there's a torn option arount the crotch area.

It requires the latest UI update

Silver Sable Model Release

She's got 1 outfit, 1 hairstyle.

That's about all I have to say.

[See stickied post for tiers links & requirements]

Changelog:

UI update

This update allows for the UI to recognize the new boolean node group inputs introduced recently and will be required for upcoming models.

Version is 2.1.38

Currently you're billed on 1st of each month regardless of the date you pledged.

This will only affect you if you delete your subscription and pledge again at a later date. Otherwise it will re...

Silver Sable Secret Crush (2/2 - stills)

Unmoving 8K versions.

The foam in the bath was a bit of a headache to get to look right. The lingerie on the faucet or the coat as well although they're barely visible in the end :(.

Last image is blender's unedited output for comparison purposes as usual.
