WIP Update + Status Update - 8/26 (Patreon)

Hey all! 

I got back from vacation this past weekend, and daymn I needed it. Between getting Brigitte's and Mei's animations/commissions finished plus IRL shenanigans, it was nice to take a break and reset a bit. Since I've gotten back, I've started getting back in the groove with the delayed Apex growth sequence. This set will have both Futa and Non-Futa variants, and I spent a bunch of time this week re-working the models to make the detail work a bit more manageable down the line. I'll also be mucking with the scenery to make it match the King's Canyon vibe from the game, and a bit of polish with the compositor should help to jazz it up a bit. 

I've also been revisiting physics simulations for both breast and butt sims. I've got a few new techniques that I want to try, and with any luck one of those will show some promise for a future animation. The ultimate goal for this process would be to add it to the WIP expansion rig and begin some more strenuous testing for animations, but we'll have to see how the initial tests work out. Ideally, this would help cut out a lot of the tedious shape-keying/clipping issues that take a long time to fix, but Blender's physics engine is about as reliable as a bag full of badgers, so it may take a bit of finesse and head-banging to get working right. 

The Patreon Pin-Up Poll render is also in the works, and I'm planning to have it finished before the end of the month, and if time allows, the Apex sequence too. With those finished, I should have a clean slate to start opening commissions again with the rolling start, and I'll have a bit of time to properly update the Patreon/Twitter banner and sift through some audio packs/tutorials. 

Finally, thanks for the support on all the recent animations! I love to hear your feedback and I'm glad that you all are enjoying the content. As always, if you have any comments and/or suggestions, feel free to DM me! 

Thanks,

Haptick
