Mawplay - Mini Animation (HD GIF)

Here's a higher resolution version of the gif that will be public later on. Originally this animation was rendered at 60FPS, but it was downsized to 30FPS, as it would've blown past Patreon's size limit otherwise. There's still some advantages here, even to the 30FPS version as the motion blur was rendered with twice the sample count, which definitely contributes to the animation's overall fluidity, especially smoothing out rapid motions.

Mawplay - Mini Animation (1080p/60FPS)

Here's a new mini animation I was working on since last month! Clocking in at 18 seconds of run time I might have gotten a little overboard with this, but I'm sure people won't mind the longer duration.

This is the first animation to be rendered at a true, native 60FPS! I might not adopt that to the longer animations just yet, as it showed me how much more of a production effort it is to render and process that many frames, but it's certainly something I'm still considering for the future, esp...

No worries, no jokes!

First off, apologies for the slight delay of the new mini animation! I went a little overboard with it and somehow made it 18 seconds long, which might be a little much for a gif. This, combined with the slightly too ambitious idea of rendering the film at true 60 frames per second stretched out rendering time quite a bit, as it made the frame count result in over 1000 images total. However, rendering has mostly been done and I'm already doing post, the animation should b...

Mawplay Gif - Lighting Update

Little progress update on the mawplay animation, this time with lighting! Phew... I feel like this has gone a little out of hand, as the animation is already 16 seconds long, which is already a little lengthy for a gif animation. Despite the overlength I might end up rendering this at native 60FPS, as I feel like this will look awesome in slow motion. Rendering might take some time though, as this would result in over 1000 frames, yikes (last animation was around 2800). 

Anywho! Will deci...

Mawplay Gif - Mini Animation Preview

Here's a super early preview of a new gif animation I'm working on, which has Zoe doing a bit of a tease with the viewer's hand! I've always shuddered when I had to animate hands, so I'm trying to become a little more aquainted to it, and what better opportunity would there be than to have Zoe being the driving force behind it~

This animation will have Zoe's room as environment, imagine it as the mawshot wallpaper I have, but animated! c:

RAADD Animation 3 - Free Version

Releasing this already leaked animation, everyone act surprised!

The final nom is upon us! Here's the last part of the RAADD animation  series, this time featuring some long requested samesize, or near  samesize gobbling! This new film was quite the challenge since samesize  from a third person perspective was a bit of a new thing for me. Zoe  needed to be given another set of upgrades to allow for such, as her  deformers weren't meant to stretch this far. There's some...

Content Distribution Changes

Beware, it's one of those boring management posts! D:

In response to the recent leak of the latest animation I'm feeling like I'll have to make adjustments to the content distribution system in the future, likely starting with the next animation. Instead of putting the links directly into the posts, I'm now planning on sending out PM links to patrons that have been processed with the corresponding tier prior to release. Once the free version is out I'll add video links to the library, so all a...

Layered Fur Shader

Zoe's fur has seen quite a development since the first animation that featured her. Not only has the density of such increased significantly, her hair has also been getting thinner and less clunky over the years. This has primarily been thanks to better hardware since the density of her fur is mostly dependant on the limitations of the GPU I have currently available. I feel that constantly increasing the de...

Video Library Update

Just revamped the entire video library not just by updating it, but also by adding pictures and shortening some links for patron's convenience! This page accumulated quite a lot of content over time, so it should be also be handy if you're looking for an old animation. 

If you're in the $10 & $15 tiers and higher you can access it by going into the "Posts" section of this Patreon page and clicking on 4k, or 1080p Video Library in the Featured Tags section on the left. All of the recen...

RAADD Game Overs - Part Three (Camera 2/4k)

And here goes the bonus angle! Phew... and with that we finish the RAADD animation triology! Was actually expecting the enemy these animations are for would've been finished way before I finalize these, but it turns out they might be going solo for another while. In any case I feel like these stand very well on their own and have hopefully provided some decent entertainment for everyone here during the past months!

Note that this bonus angle didn't enjoy the full render pipeline, as I skipped ...

Bonus Angle Preview (Not mobile friendly)

The second bonus perspective that shows the recent animation out of completely alternative angles will be released in a few days! As last time, there's going to be a few POV angles in this. I ultimately decided to only use them more sparingly this time, as not all scenes worked well from the 1st person angle, even with heavy modifications.

Good morning, the final nom is upon us! Here's the last part of the RAADD animation series, this time featuring some long requested samesize, or near samesize gobbling!

Render Playblasts (Not Mobile Friendly)

With each day we're slowly nearing completion of the new animation! Right now the post production is halfway done and I'm slowly nearing the color grading process. Once this last visual step is done I'll do sound/music before preparing the release! It's realistic that things will still take a week, especially with the sound design still ahead. This period is usually the hardest since I tend to work 24h to get this out as soon as I can, so apologies if messages on here are a little slow!

I've p...

Rendering!

After a few additional days of optimizing work, today marks the first day of the rendering process! ETA is around two weeks, so here's hoping I'm able to wrap up the animation within that time. I'll keep you guys updated with new, polished playblasts in the meantime, most likely using the ones I showed earlier so I don't spoil the rest of the animation! (:

Target Render!

Here's a look at the render target for the new animation, just before the new year! Effects and shaders are all maxed out in this, volumetric light is implemented here too, but it's almost invisible in a static image, should be more prominent once things are moving though! As usual, the look might vary in the final outcome as this is only a quickly rendered concept. I tend to carefully tweak a lot in the final post production, so things usually end up looking a little fancier in the end!

Last Gulp - Playblast

Here's the last seconds of our runner before Zoe gulps her down! Bulges are currently a little too round, will have to make them a bit more organic in the final version. There's also some minor clipping left over, but that will be sorted out as well! For now here's a little something for Christmas for you guys~

Already passed a minute of runtime, there's still a decent bit to animate though! From here things should go a little faster whatsoever since there's only one character on screen, oho~<...

Romantic Trickery - Rough Playblast

After giving our character a bit of a mawing, Zoe decides to go for a kiss instead! It's followed right by another... OR IS IT?

Meant to upload this on Friday, but had an unexpected incident and was hospitalized for a short while. However, I'm trying my best to catch up on progress this week, will likely work through Christmas as well since I want this animation to be finalized soon. After a decent bit of teasing we're finally approaching the main part, so expect more on that soon! Apologies f...

Actually... - Performance Playblast

Lately the priority of Zoe's performance has almost been higher than that of the nommy bits, as I've slowly been realizing that I'd prefer having what people feel like is an actual character, rather than "some kinda appealing 3D graphics". Having her talk a little more often has been on my roadmap for a while and this might be the first animation that slowly goes back to that idea. So far I've probably been neglecting it because it's a lot of work to properly key out every single word, the overa...

Lighting Playblasts

Here's the recent playblasts with proper lighting!

Note how Zoe's tummy reacts to the prey's head~

Of course everything is still in preview quality, but despite that it should already give you an idea of how this animation is going to look. Besides the dynamic bounce lighting this animation is going to feature volumetric lighting, as well as semi translucent shadow casting for objects such as le...

Sluuuuuuuurrrrrp - Playblast (No lighting)

Here's another rough playblast that I feel like is decent enough for a preview here! Of course there's going to be a decent bit of teasing before Zoe gobbles up the player, can't just go at it right from the first second! This slurp took a bit of time to animate, with the difficulties mostly coming to the movement of her tongue. In the final animation there's going to be more deformations, including subtle skin displacement from the pressure of her tongue. For now here's a rough playblast though...

Small note on Patreon's new guidelines

As many of you know, Patreon has changed some of their guidelines regarding adult content this month, which already had the content of some artists pulled. So far I can give you a bit of an all-clear signal that this account hasn't received any notes that deemed my content as inappropriate and asked me for adjustments yet, likely due to the absence of nudity and violence that goes beyond anything you'd see in a cartoon. I had a bit of a feeling this would happen at some point with the more graph...

RAADD Animation 3 - First scene Playblast (No Lighting)

Here's a super early look at the new animation, mainly its first scene! It's almost a little too early to post this, but I already wanted to give you an idea of the size dimensions of these two characters. While this is going to be a samesize animation, the prey model is still going to be a good deal smaller than Zoe, still making her quite an overpowering opponent. Unlike in the recent two animations Zoe is actually going to talk, this time it's longer lines as well, probably going to be a litt...

Zoe and Riku Comic by Cakehoarder

https://aryion.com/g4/view/416836

Here's a comic that was done by a good friend of mine, actually the first time I commissioned something, so why not post it here! Thought it would be interesting to see how Zoe looked in a 2D rendition as well, which I think she nailed pretty much spot on! 

Make sure to fav the original posts by her on either 2017-10-04 21:24:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Zoe - Mawshot Wallpaper

Starting the month with this little wallpaper while I still prepare models and environment for the next animation! This one can be pretty much seen as a prequel to the looped animation I posted earlier, also wanted to give those that aren't into bellies something to gaze at~
