Project directions and progress (Patreon)

This is an exit survey I got, so this Patron sadly won't be seeing my reply, but I thought I would answer it for you guys, in case you have similar questions:

Thank you! I'm very proud of my progress with this model. :D The intention is to git gud at using Blender because of all the possibilities it offers for making all kinds of cool stuff, not just models.

When using SFM, I constantly find myself thinking "it would be so cool to do XYZ, but XYZ is not possible in this program." Or worse, telling people who have commissioned me that "I'm sorry, I can't make the head of his dong pink to look like it's uncut, SFM doesn't do that."

But with Blender's toolset, I can! It does just about anything, and it makes me really excited, thinking about all the amazing things I could make for you guys. 

For example, behold, I call it "the sphere of desire"

The thiccness of the wire mesh grid is directly influenced by the proximity of the sphere. 

Uh... how will this help me make ero animations, you ask? Well, how about a "belly bulge" deformation that happens automatically, based on how deeply the model is being penetrated. Actually, I only just thought of that just now, and it does seem really clever.

Behold, this contemplative monkey!

It looks deceptively simple, but I learned a lot about volumetric lighting. It's that "foggy" moody effect!

Behold this thicc bitch:

Now that I know how to make her skin look more beautiful and natural, how to alter her body shape to whatever proportions, AND alter clothes along with with it, I just can't wait to use her.

btw you can download this model here, it's Gorodork's Mei Definitive. I could make my altered version available for you to download too, if you'd like! Just let me know.
