A Roo'd Introduction 4k clean

The night shift - oh, how I loathe it. The pay is incredible, I admit, but starting as a runner is the worst. My job involves shuttling between labs, carrying samples and fetching test equipment for people. Each group of scientists seems to find new ways to make things difficult. Feline scientists prefer their rooms dark, canines are easily distracted, avians can't stand noise, and the list goes on. But keeping the labs running smoothly is what I do best, or so I tell myself.

Finally, another render update.

So I have been working on this since my last post, having only taken a chill for Christmas/new years and to work on some other commission stuff. Here is the current look on the lighting alongside the compositing. This project has been a lot more overall complex than some of my others, having to deal with the camera and difficult lighting of the scene. While im not 100% happy Im at a point where I think working a lot more on it will be making it worse rather than better. I was thinking of poss...

Render update! Got the new tool in action.

So here is the first big test of the goo tool, im about to get onto redoing the lighting but here is how the characters look!

New features in my procedural TF tool

Simplified Overview

Before diving into the technical parts, here's a quick overview:

• I've developed a tool that takes a character and the goo character and via overlaying them I can create a partial TF effect, seen in my 'Jumping right into it' Kangaroo piece.
• The latest version, V2, introduces 'goo strands' that allow for a more grounded connection with the underlying model. This was an effect I have been working on for a long while, the 2023-11-29 08:56:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Render project update

Well I have been working on this in my free time when I can, so here is how the poses currently are. They feel a bit stiff right now and I may change their location around, plus I still need to setup the lighting to work with them (this image is exposure adjusted for visibility) and then do some MORE posing for mid-tf effects... still a fair bit to go but its coming, slowly. If anyone has any ideas or tips on posing feel free to share em.

Progress update time again!

So I don't have a new render for you guys this week, been slowly working on posing the roo scene when I have time and energy. During the day I cant do NSFW, so I decided to play around with UE5 again since I have not touched it in a while. The video I posted here is the current 'what I got' from that, I intend for it to be a long term project. In the end I want it to be similar to viscera cleanup detail, but a single level filled with lore for my Deep Blue Viral Research storyline. Specifical...

Current project update

Its been a bit since I shared updates on the is project. Things have been a bit slow due to life, a tailoring commission im working on for one of my outfits, and my brain is sad. But im still working! Figuring out lighting and camera angle for this project is a tough one, I still have a fair bit of tweaking to do on it but I feel like im getting a lot closer. I also experimented with camera position, using an iphone app to allow me to use AR to position the camera a bit more realistically. I ...

Leather Jacket Project for Tropical Kangaroo

As some of you may know I have a gumroad page where I make cheap little outfits for VRChat as another way to support my work, for those not into subscriptions. I posted a way earlier wip in my gumroad server but I thought I should give you guys/gals/nonbinary pals a more in depth look at how I make these things.

For all my Gumroad outfits, I use a tool called Marvelous Designer, its the 'artist version' of a CAD tool called CLO which is used to create patterns for actual clothing. Thes...

First patreon post! Preview of possibly current project.

I dunno how to use this thing, but I mentioned in the patreon section of my server I plan on using this service more as I move away from AI. For those who have not seen, I plan on posting WIPs of projects that may not ever come to fruition and eventually any final stills will be here in full quality, public posts will be 'glazed', an anti-ai training technique which sadly minorly lowers quality. But that's the day and age we live in, I have to DRM my own work basically :/.

Let me know w...
