A small update on the next couple animations.
Operation Lovecraft:
Spent sometime redoing the intro, I forgot the most difficult part about this is the concept phase, so planning the animation out was a bit time consuming.
The Enviroment is still a W.I.P as there are some missing textures and lack of details but I think it's coming along well.
Warning long post.
Wanted to make a post to detail some additional information
Sacred Beasts:
I didn’t expect on finishing the entire thing after 1 ½ years.
Part of the reason it took additional 5 months was the loss of my renders, added on to delays in VA work… delays in graphics elements and Random (who is the audio enginer) got burned out which is why there are 2 engineers.
This project was a pretty big learning experien...
You can now access the animation from the Archive
Sacred Beasts:
I’ve made a few changes to Sacred Beasts; Removed the pink smoke and tweaked a couple poses during the first sequence.
Amazonian Mist:
Runtime 5m 38s
With this release a new arc begins, I will have a content update post on Friday/Saturday which shall go over some plans r...
Small Update:
Rendering might finish next weekend or the weekend afterwards, the last 2 scenes are the longest and has the most amount of simulations.
VA has done her work; Only needs 1 retake and I’ll send it off for sound
What’s Done:
Polish – (100%) Finished adding the smaller details to scene.
Simulations – (100%) Fluids and physics have been completed.
Voice Work – (100% ) Technically it’s not complete as I need 2...
I’ve expanded the animation slightly, added a little bit extra to a couple scenes, honestly even though the animation is 5 minutes there’s a lot of tedious animation to do, mainly the hands. [Qaulity Controllers can view previews in your W.I.P folder.]
Finding a VA has been a bit tricky, if I continue with Amazonian Mist (formerly project amazonian) I’d like for Lara to sound a certain way however, I’m hoping to finalise a VA this weekend.

Decided to take some time off so I can focus on Lara’s Fantasy and Sacred Beasts release.
Lara’s fantasy is rendered in cycles so I probably won’t show off many renders until a few days before release, however things have been going smoothly.
Lara's Fantasy:
I'm hoping to finish this on the 20th leaving the rest of the month to render and release shortly after SB.

I've started to get majority of Lara's fantasy complete since it's last update.
Mainly spent time making changes to Lara's model and improving the minotaur model so it can actually be animated in more positions.
As you might be able to tell something is a little different.
This animation is a prelude to Project Amazonian, it's a dream sequence set after Sacred Beasts and will end with ...
2024-03-30 23:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone.
I've finally recieved the graphical elements, I didn't expect it to take so long but I now have the whole OVA/ONA? and so I'll be sending the final cut off for the last bit of sound work.
I do have a timeframe for it's completion but I will hold off from a concrete release date however If all goes well you can expect a release in April.

Hey Everyone,
Firstly The Mega archives have been updated, you should all be able to download everything without a quota issue, if you do hit a quota limit, just let me know.
Poll Results:
Tentacles won (93-85) so the next main animation will follow Alet from Operation Lovecraft as she investigates an abandoned facility. I've already been chopping away at it while.
Project Lovecraft:

Would like to know which you'd prefer to see after Sacred Beasts is released.
2024-01-09 12:55:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone, decided to do an End of Year Update to go over a few things.
Firstly thank you for all your feedback and positive messages regarding Part 4 & Sacred Beasts as a whole. I’d like to just quickly show off the final plan for SB and details on the next projects.
All of which can be seen in the W.I.P section in the updated [Archive] along with 2023-12-22 18:30:01 +0000 UTC

Hey Everyone.
Part 4... is complete.
What's Been happening?
The last of the renders & re-renders finished on Thursday, all that is left is for the audio to be finalised, hopefully within the coming days.
What I'm Doing Now?
Right now I'm syncing the srt file... kinda noticed a few additional things but I will leave it for when I merge everything together as they are only minor.
Hoping to get the preview out either ...
2023-11-17 20:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostDamn, some of these Patreon changes make it kinda confusing to post but alas... here's the penultimate update before release.
I was going to post an update last week but decided to hold off, I had some minor setbacks which I've only found the solution too recently.
What I've been doing:
Currently 17/37 scenes have been rendered. Progress has been good. I will likely finish the final scene by the end of next week.
The VA finished all her lines and SF...
What I've Been Doing:
Part 1:
Decided to work on the prologue a bit.
It's a short scene that will establish Lara on the island and end with her standing outside the first tomb where the original Part 1 starts.
Lara's outfit has also been updated/tweaked for the prologue with a few additions.

What I'm Doing:
Animation - Now that I've planned everything out I will focus on animating everything.
Voice Acting - I need to send the script over to the VA.
Everything has been laid out for Part 4 from start to finish and the runtime is about 7 minutes.
Part 4 Summary:
Lara wakes up tied next to a tree.
After a small exchange with a familiar face the beasts seemingly awaken and appear to help "condition" Lara against her ...
Notes:
I was going to do a feedback post going over the development of chapter 2 but decided to just do an overview when everything is finished. For anyone interested in more BTS stuff.
I've spent more time in pre-production planning out this animation. Part 3 had alot of animation creep which took focus away from other areas, so doing things this way should help with not overdoing everything.
Expressions Test:
While making Part 3...
Hey everyone,
A bit of a chunky post for you.
Sacred Beasts Chapter 2 Release
The follow up to Sacred Beasts Part 1.
I've retitled the animation to chapter 2 as it merges both Part 2 & 3 together to make a 25m:15s animation.
I know... it's late. I will have more information about everything in a follow up post but for now Sacred Beasts Chapter 2 is available for viewing.
You can access the animation via Discord or alternatively a tem...
The past couple of weeks have mainly been about fixing things, optimising and redoing bits and pieces and getting the VA to do retakes and rendering.
This will be the last W.I.P before release as there's nothing to really update on.
I honestly feel like I could polish the animation a bit more, add a few touches here and there but it's 20 minutes of animation; It's alot and I've kept you waiting long enough as is. It doesn't need to have studio levels of detail.
This next ...
Post Changes:
Patreon is making some changes so I will be changing how I post here.
If you're on Discord everything will be posted there in full, If you don't use Discord the only difference here, will be that everything is family friendly and SFW.
You will have to access everything through the archive if it's still allowed.
Archive is still pinned for now.
We are family friendly now, no need to investigate :)

Water Sim:
Here's a short playblast of Lara being dragged underwater, I've been mainly working on the shader effects and simulation.
Her head touches the surface of the water which will be adjusted once I'm happy with the way it looks.

Today I'm showing off the start of the tentacle scene, fairly happy with this direction As the animation goes on the more rough things will get.
Waiting for the audio so I can animate most of the face, ignore it for now.
Ending scene.
Working on the liquid sims, would adding blood be too extreme for you guys?
Forced Attack Scene
As mentioned before I want Lara to ...
Hey Everyone,
Everything has been going smoothly, I'm surprised how fast I'm able to get through with everything; Guess I'm kinda motivated to get this finish.
So far, the intro leading up to Lara being attacked has been animated.
I've also decided to make each scene smaller and more constraint.
This means less scenes but more focus on the details, I've settled for 5 scenes with a transistion inbetween 3 of them.
The animation will play out with Lara getting trapp...
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates... again...
So for the past couple weeks I've been mainly working on the posing and gathering reference to implement some of your wonderful ideas into the animation.
I've begun blocking out the intro and the transistion into Lara being attacked.
Below are some renders and base shots of Part 3, I will start to scenebuild everything later on.
Intro Scene:
For the intro I wanted a bit more action...
Hey everyone,
Jeez I didn't expect to keep you guys waiting for so long.
Here's the pre release version for Part 2. Hope you enjoy this solo animation that closes off Part 1.
Let me know your feedback or adjustments you think should be made.
Since I'm focused on Part 3, the changes for Part 2 will be made when I complete the series.

Okay so polish took a little bit longer, mainly due to irl stuff, but it's complete.
Didn't manage to do as much as I wanted but I think it's good enough.

It's a simple small animation, nothing crazy. I don't think I'll finish this tbh.
Nope, I didn't write that wrong.
I've moved all my focus on to Part 3 as Part 2 is waiting for audio.
There isn't really anything else to update on regarding Part 2 except it's complete so I decided to merge the update onto this.
The next time you hear Part 2 will be when it releases at the end of the month.
As for Part 3
I've laid out roughly half of the full animation and the lewd scenes have also started to be posed out which you can view some...
Hey guys, I didn't mean to make you wait so long to send over previews, But I wanted to get the sims working before I posted any preview updates.
Part 2:
Anyway, here's some playblasts of some of the scenes from the past week.
:)
A big disclaimer, the scenes are not all rendered and are before I focused on polish so don't worry if Lara's hair is a little thin or her movements are stiff, I mainly wanted to see how the overall animation will look wit...
Hey Everyone,
Still working on finishing everything but I've begun to render portions of the animation.
I've more or less finished the main lighitng so you can view all the uploaded renders in the W.I.P folder.
Scenes are still W.I.P and might still be tweaked so expect changes.
What's Left?
Moar Polish (including sims)
Finish Rendering
SFX
I'd say the animation is 90% complete as all is needed is the polish and any needed adjustmen...
