Rigging Process Video + Updates (Pixiv Fanbox)

So here is my "rigging process" video. Nothing too fancy, just me walking through the steps I take, or rather the steps needed to take. I have a lot of this stuff pre-setup so I can cut things down like 10-15 minutes worth of work from the whole process these days. There are some things I gloss over, like the importation of the models, but I didn't want to get into that because it'd just drag the video on for even longer. You can find various tutorials on that subject anyway, ones that are likely better than what I can do. I also didn't cover textures that much, in the sense of the body textures. You can just find those one various models on smutba.se or even sfmlab. The body used in these videos is the same basic body used for a good number of models in the general community.

Anyway, beyond any questions you might have, I won't say anything more on that subject. The video says basically everything I needed to say anyway. Instead, I'll talk a little about my upcoming schedule. August is almost over(my god), and with it comes September. The month before Spooky Month. I've got the next two releases all lined up, and it's some varied content. At least in terms of IPs. Beyond that, I... think I'm going to skip the first poll of the month. Lianshi will still get animated, but I've just been feeling really demotivated, tired, and been bombarded with all sorts of seasonal allergies. As I type this, my nose is dripping and I'm sniffling like I've been crying and coughing like I got bronchitis, but it's only because I had a very painful sneezing fit last paragraph. While this might clear up in the next few days and I feel fine, I don't want to push it and have to half-ass a poll winner's animations. Already, Lianshi might be kind of half-assed just due to not feeling great, and I don't want to extend that to more. Just gonna take it easy for now, and likely end up skipping that first poll. I did roll the characters already, but I'll just wait to have that poll after October if everyone's okay with that.

This is mainly just so I can prepare better for October proper. I've got some stuff worked on, but I've been procrastinating a lot. One set is almost done, the other set is about a third done. Have another set I'm gonna work on soon, and I may have one more project lined up for the month but I won't make promises. Especially since I'll be doing some polls, including one public poll. I have a general 'draft' of what they will be, and I'll go ahead and discuss them so I can see what people think of the ideas.

Next month, for the mid-month poll, I will have a 'Halloween' sort of poll. It's gonna be a one-on-one poll. I'll let you stew on what that could mean. It'll release the first of October, and kick-off the Halloween stuff, along with the first proper release(which I haven't decided which one it'll be as of yet).

Then, that 1st of October will have two polls. One supporter poll, and one public poll. The supporter poll will be a "Duo" poll. Basically, I came up with multiple ideas for stuff to do this October, but some of them just kind of fell through the cracks and are in 'limbo', so I'll let people decide what they want to see between a selection of three different duos. There will be a slight 'twist' to this poll, as it'll go on for a week, but then release on Halloween. This is just to give me extra time to work on the threesome animations. A week alone would be kind of rough, so having two extra weeks will make my life a lot easier.

The public poll will be a "Return" poll, in the sense that it'll feature a handful of the characters I featured last time in an animation(or two) who will get a chance to return for a small pack. Haven't fully decided on who will be in it, but I'll figure that out at closer to the start of the poll. This one will go for a week, and release in the middle of the month.

There will be a second supporter poll. This one will go up when the 1st supporter poll ends and go for a week before releasing a week before Halloween. This one will just be 'cosplay', which just means various characters in other character's costumes. Think Iris as "Lady" or Luna as "Trish" that I did a while back during the Anniversary stuff. Who knows, they might even show up.

Now, these are subject to change. This is just my tentative plan for now that I hopefully will go through with, at least in terms of content - I'd like to do all three of these, but we'll see. Scheduling is very much up in the air, however. And the preview image is something I'm working on regardless - it isn't going to be in the Duo poll. It's some of the other ideas that I've had that I haven't really progressed on that will end up there.
