Commission #44: Samantha Double Boob Grab from behind

I was hoping I'd finally have a boob grab post where I didn't use the phrase "pain in the ass."

But alas, this was a pain in the ass lol.

So like I said on the poll, I recently built two "boob grab meshes" that are parented to Flin's hands, which were set up with proper jiggle physics and modeled to bulge nicely between each finger (two major time-consuming challenges that I can now easily reuse). Then all I had to do was clip the meshes into Samantha's chest and tha...

Beach Update Status Report

I wanted to get a post in before the end of the month, but this time I'd like to go into more depth and transparency on the current state of things. I'll describe the above scene at the end because it's a little crazy.

-

I'll cut to the chase: The beach update's taking a lot longer than I meant for it to. I was just gonna do some fan service, show everyone in their bikinis, do some fun stuff with that, move on. I literally got everything else in the update almost completely done f...

I took the lyrics I wrote for LLRR's theme song "Training to be a Rockstar" and had an AI generate music to them for fun

I wrote the lyrics, but that's all. This song is otherwise completely AI-generated.
And THIS IS JUST FOR FUN, I'm not going to use it, even if it does sound pretty cool.

-

A while back I wrote a "main theme" for Love, Lust, and Rock 'n Roll, called "Training to be a Rockstar." It's the song that plays when you're sitting in the main menu. That song, I wrote from scratch. And I wrote lyrics for it, which are what you're hearing he...

Commission #42: Amy Animations of Ahegao Missionary and Being Banged from Behind at the Beach

Holy fuck guys, the animations I'm making with these new techniques are quickly becoming some of my favorite things I've ever made. I've still got a lot to learn, but these last few weeks mark the beginning of a new level-up.

---

Yeah, I had already completed the Ahegao Missionary thing before the poll finished, and was a little surprised when it won. When I saw that the "being banged from behind at the beach" one was a close second, I decided to do that one too. Hope you don't mi...

Jiggle Physics, Part 2/2

OKAY, look, I don't say this often but I'll admit her boobs are perhaps gettin' a little large in this version 😂. That was an accident, and I'm not using this version for anything.

This animation was an experiment. Unlike part 1, I'm not using the spring or wiggle bone addons at all here.
The idea is to use cloth physics to simulate the rippling/jiggling in skin. Yes, cloth physics, not soft body physics. Weirdly, soft body simulations don't seem to work as well for this ...

Jiggle Physics, Part 1/2

Hope these gifs don't lag too much. The biggest obstacle to sharing all my animation work here is always the fuckin lag.

Anyway: For the entirety of LLRR, I've always animated the breast motions manually. This has led to pretty stiff motions, and can take quite a while.

Recently, I've decided to revisit that aspect of my workflow and challenge my approach to things. The above animation is a new approach, using the Spring/Wiggle Bones addons for the breast movements. I'm not saying...

Status Report

Another contrast shot😈. You won't see shots like this if you're on the pure Stella route (even though that route is not at all the point of the game), but you will see variations depending on if you're pursuing just Amy, just Julie, or both!
Considered getting Kelly in there too, but decided she'll just be handled separately.

It's a bit of an odd camera angle, but I'm trying out a few angles for the various contrast shots and I liked how this one shaded the boobs lol (my ...

Commission #41: Samantha from Behind

The 4th and final commission for the month!

This one was much simpler to make than the others, but Samantha will be getting a lot more content once the beach update's done.

Enjoy ~🎶💕

Julie Jogging [Animation]

The current Samantha poll has a choice to combine breast jiggle physics with a Mixamo animation, and this is an example of that. It's a bit janky, but I can't deny there are some pleasant motions in there. I think this kind of thing is a rite of passage for all NSFW 3D modelers 😂.
I had to edit the Mixamo jogging animation because Julie's arms were clipping into her boobs. It was not easy to fix that, and it's why her arm movements are a little awkward in some places.

One...

Commission #40: Flin x Julie, arms around neck [Animation]

Damn, man. I've been sleeping on the spring bone add-on.

By far the easiest jiggling effect I've found, and I ignored it up till now because I assumed it needed a better rig to be worth using. But in this case, it works quite nicely.

It does have some limitations and quirks. The way it works is: You set a bone to be a "spring" bone, and if you move any of its parent bones, then it jiggles as it follows that motion, much like a loose spring.
In other words, you can't get jigglin...

Commission #39: Kelly Volleyball and Kelly Climax

The poll was a three-way (almost four-way) tie, so I chose the volleyball one. But after I finished, I decided to throw in half of one of the other options as a little bonus (it's "half" because it doesn't show Eric buying ice cream).

The volleyball shot ended up being trickier than I was expecting, but I dig it.

Commission #38: Banging Amy from Behind

Stylized faces aren't shaped the same as realistic faces, and 2D faces can simply be redrawn differently at different angles, so certain things (like two people pressing their cheeks together) might turn out to be a lot more challenging for stylized 3D than realistic 3D or stylized 2D. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd envisioned it, but I think it works well enough.

I wanted to add steam breath, but it's difficult when the grey can only contrast against their pale skin. However, if it...

Beach Environment

Alright, before the month ends I wanted to get out one more progress report.

As expected, the beach environment was such a pain. When you're making an outdoor environment, you either find ways to hide the horizon line...or you need to model like 18 million different things to make it look sufficiently fleshed out. The only exception to this is if you're looking out at the ocean, which needs nothing. And fortunately, the ocean is half of a beach scene.

But still, the other half is ...

Commission #37: PoV with doing Kelly from behind [Animation]

The perspective was tricky and I wanted to do more, but I hit a point where I had to call it good. For example, woulda been nice to animate the water, but getting that to loop nicely on such a short loop is a tall order. I might make the ocean a slightly brighter color, I didn't really think about that till I was done.

I wanted more jiggling in there too, but ran into some frustrating obstacles with how the motion was going in this one and decided jiggling isn't necessary.

Animati...

Julie in a Bikini

As I've said, I originally made a bikini for Julie several years ago as a commission, and I really liked it...but I always felt it wasn't quite the style I imagined for her. So I gave that design to Amy, and instead modeled up the new design you see before you now.

Sure, as far as designs go it's actually pretty standard 😅 but I really liked the addition of the sarong, which is the cloth-skirt-thing she has on. In order to make it, I learned a pretty sweet new technique.
Basically...

Status Report

Alright, it's high time I did a status report, especially before the month ends. Don't mind Flin, he's just slow-dancing with his girlfriend's mom.

I'll be honest, December and January were both not as productive as I would have liked. Both had hectic events in them, which is unusual for me, but even so I wish I had more beach content completed at this stage.

I've been pretty sparse on the beach spoilers, and that's mainly because there's a LOT in this update that has nothing to d...

Commission #36, All the Ladies in Wedding Dresses

Do you take Amy, Julie, Stella, Samantha, and Kelly to be your lawfully wedded waifus?

Or maybe just the E-cups and up?

-

Very fun commission. I kept the designs pretty simple because the wedding dress mesh is kind of annoying to work with (I originally built it for a 3D print, not intended for much posing and further editing), but I am pleased overall with how everyone looks.

Now, if I can just get the game to a state where it makes sense to USE these images...

...

Romantic Dates Complete!

Just do me a favor and pretend that greens, tomatoes, carrots, bacon, and rice balls are a perfectly fine and normal depiction of a meal. And not just any meal, but a high-end dinner at a fancy restaurant 😅.

The truth is, I find food to be extremely annoying to model. It's tricky to make it look appetizing; textures often make a huge difference. So I scrounged around online for some free food models, and they all basically sucked except for this ONE assortment of food someone made. W...

Poll for Commission #36, Part 2

I have returned from the wedding trip! For an introvert like me, it was very exhausting, but it was also damn fun!

--

And I see that while I was gone, we got more votes than usual, and also a much closer split than usual (Amy: 4, Kelly: 5, Julie: 5, Samantha: 4).

Normally I would break the tie, but I'm gonna do something a little different this time. I'll just make a commission that involves all of them, but to keep that manageable, I'm going to restrict the options to outfi...
