Hey guys,

So....I was hoping to do a little fake advertisement for Kapuletti Industries. Made this whole selfie for the render used on the phone I wanted to playfully advertise, but the UV map for the front phone wasn't playing very nice, womp-womp.... I wasn't about to sink a couple more hours trying to fix it for this, so I decided to just pick it back up later this week.

Fresh off the Kapuletti line, but failed QA... new phone for a certain someone. Does she need one because she's technically a walking cellphone herself? No. No she doesn't. But that's not very human-like.

Was proud of this one because it shows me how much better I've gotten using DAZ's janky-ass rigging system. Back in CH2, I introduced new phones that Kindra and MC use which are folding phones. I actually have two versions of the phones, open and closed because I couldn't get the hinge right. Not to mention the crease on the screen itself. And here we are now. One prop that has folding dials c:

Anywho, speaking of Artemis. Hope those of you who've been looking forward to Artemis' "cooing" sounds are satisfied with the direction of the sound. Back when I was writing CH5, I was trying to think of ways to write this sound. I spoke with other devs, looked at books, turned on subtitles for shows and movies, none that really helped me figure out how to write this "sound". So, I just went with cooing as it was the closest thing I could think of.

I attached a 4K version of the "INK selfie" to this post. I'll make sure Kindra hires better QA staff!

Thanks all! Weather is cooling down some, but hope you all stay hydrated still! And take your vitamins!
