Thrud Model

This week, the official private release of my thrud model is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday.

I can say with certainty this is definitely my most complex model by far.

As a result, I had to create a "How to Use" video in conjunction with some other guides.

Initially, I will release the female version to ensure everything is in order, then I will release the FUTA version, and then I can begin rendering.

Regardless, I am eager to have you guys test this character ...

Another Update

Here's a quick showcase of the UI and other things I've been working on.

Put aside dirt, blood, and sweat for now.

I'm figuring out a way to dynamically paint blood, dirt, or sweat anywhere on the model.

(Don't mind the 30+ hours of project time)

Node Groups

So, this is definitely the most complex node group I've ever made for any character. However, it taught me so much about organization.

It's still incomplete but it should be done by tomorrow and then I can add the finishing touches on the character and the interface.

After that I need to work on the documentation and then that should be it.

(What's the most complex node setup you've ever made?)

Tattoo Emission w/ Color Picker

Here's a quick preview of one of the specific tailored functions for Thrud.

Pose Library

The only thing I want to say about this for now is that my future models will include a pose library available only to patreon donors.

Hopefully, this will speed up your workflow.

Can you suggest some poses for me to add?

Custom UI

So, I've finally got my own custom UI up and running.

There are still some panels to add so it isn't complete yet but it's definitely getting somewhere.

All in all, learning Python this last week has definitely been a challenge but I got significant help from an invaluable friend.

Cycles

Another aspect I am paying attention to with my Thrud model is the Cycles shader.

I've been seeing a lot of people do renders with my models using Cycles and the results aren't optimal on my part.

Many materials are optimized for Eevee but once you switch the engine to Cycles a lot of the materials are way too glossy resulting in a shiny look.

I'm pretty sure you've either seen this or experienced this firsthand if you've used my models in Cycles.

To me, such a result ...

Feedback

It's been about 2 days since I released the test model.

I've received some nice feedback on what you guys like and don't like.

It seems to have been a good idea to use the riggify rig. Many of you like the easy to use rig UI in the "N" panel and the FK-IK snap buttons.

Because of this I've also been learning a little Python on the side. Nothing too complex, just enough for me to be able to edit scripts and get a more customized result.

Also, if you guys have any ideas ...

Incoming Transmission From Headquarters !

Okay, watching 10+ hours of Zbrush content and videos last month paid off.

I'm finally learning how to use the program in a efficient way.

My goal is to cultivate the skill of creating skin textures as much as possible to create high quality models in the future.

I'm currently experimenting a lot through YouTube videos and trial and error, but that's by far the best way to learn.

If you have questions about 3D or other aspects of what I do, please ask. I'm more than ha...

Thrud_Female_V1.0 (Test)

Here's the test version of Thrud.

Edit:  You need blender 3.5

In this model, riggify is used as the main rig, so it's more organized and easier to use. I've posted some pictures to help you navigate, but they're probably not that helpful. Just didn't want to spend a lot of time creating a video on how to use it, then having to change it later.

Here ar...

Test Model

My goal is to release the first iteration of this model by the end of this week.

This is just a test version to ensure everything works.

Once I clarify how it works, I will release the FUTA version.

Quick Showcase

Nowhere near done yet, still have a lot of work to do on the skin textures but just wanted to give a sneak peek on what its looking like

Also, this is a perfect loop so if you just mute the audio and loop it you wont see any glitches

Poll Results (0003_1)

So by popular demand, I'll be animating 0003_1 

Also, In the last few days I've just been creating ways to streamline the creation of my models. This way in the future, I won't have to repeat certain procedures. 

Other than that, I'm still working on Thrud every day. I always try to make my new models better than the last so it tends to take me a little longer to figure out certain things. For example, In Thrud, I'm trying to create forehead wrinkle...

Animated Pin-Up Vote

Depending on the results of this poll, I will animate one of the pin-ups I've recently released.

0003_1

I plan on doing several versions of this.

Riggify?

Been thinking about just using riggify for my fuuture models.

Mainly because it has a UI and everything you really ever could need from a rig

0002_female + 0002_futa

Around 20 hours of work time on this one render. I changed the lighting setup around 4 times, had to redecimate geometry multiple times, didn't know wether I wanted the dog and V in the render or just judy.

So all in all, I definitely wasted quite a lot of time on this render. This one isn't going to be animated simply because it would take an extreme amount of time to render.

Usually when I create a scene its about 1 main model so its easier for my computer to handle. As you ...

1 or 2?

In the final stages of a pinup and I need your input.

(Yes their will be alternates such as futa, straight and maybe different angles)

Next Model

Alright, so the next model has been decided.

It's going to be Thrud. 

After I complete Thrud I'm going to port and finalize Faye.

I want to do maybe 2 or 3 pinups with these models and then after that, I'm looking to get into a new series.

I was thinking resident evil 4 remake but I'll compile a list together and put it up for a vote on the "God ...
