Text update 7 July 2021 (Patreon)

Hey everyone, the dropbox archive has been updated for the month. FYI, we decided to unpin the top post, but added the posts to the top links so you can still find them easily.

Just a reminder, if you’re ever having trouble accessing the archive, try using an alternative browser first and ensure you copy/paste the password directly from the post. We’ve had to update the link and password a few times due to the links expiring prematurely, so bookmarked links or passwords sent out in the initial Patreon notification will no longer work.

Blender -- In the past couple of months we’ve talked with a number of Blender artists who are interested in working with us, so as of late last week we’ve begun testing a new, short animation team and workflow. One of our admin staff has taken on a coordination role to ensure the team can work independently when miro is busy elsewhere. Since our characters and environments are still being ported, the Blender team will use existing character models (like the Tifa and Claire ones you’ve already seen) to start with. This will allow us to iron out the kinks in the process while we wait for our characters to become available.

Ultimately we’d like to use this new team to create both image sets and animations so we can phase out Daz Studio. Our current Daz team is quite small, and Daz render times are even worse than Maya, so there’s nothing to lose in shifting future image sets to Blender.

CyPunk 1000 Patrons Vaginal Sex Animation -- Miro will be catching up on this animation this week. We’re hoping to send it to render by the end of week or early next week.

The Seed of Rebirth Animation -- The second draft of the piledriver base loop is getting closer to what we’re looking for, but it’s still a bit too raw for us to feel comfortable showing off. When we get closer to the final movement, we’ll release a compiled video with some of the early playblasts so you can see the evolution of the animation.

Fan Service Image Set -- We’ll be posting the final preview with Sayako’s new hair in the next day or so. Also, with the recent Blender developments, we’ve decided this image set will be the first to be produced entirely in Blender, that is, both still images and animations for this set will be done in Blender. We have a second rigger working on the port of the Fan Service assets now.
