New outfit for the second thumbnail project

I can't just use my regular outfit, can I?

So for my Ghost song stream I plan to use this outfit + I ripped this blaster off of Samus Aran. I was originally planning on using a megaman buster or even making my own, but I don't have enough time for that.

I might run into a problem however. The environment I plan to use might cause me to look very out of place.. but we shall see.

First UE5 Render complete!

I am not completely happy with it as I ran into lots of issues and had to cut out planned features in order to get it done. I am however already working on my next one. A game I backed years ago called Ghost song just came out on steam out of nowhere and so, of course, I am going to be streaming that. This is going to be a very very quick thing to make.

UE5 Progress update: almost finished first "render"

Been hard at work getting this all working. Ran into an issue or two, one being blendshapes for the face and the other hair going crazy in UE5. I hopefully will have the final version done by monday for my next stream. If not I can always whip up a basic version with VRMPD for a temp thumbnail.

I originally was using more realistic terrain but came across low poly assets and remade the area. I think it looks better, but I wish I had some low poly trees and more pokemon. Having issues wi...

Ok so I found something

UE5 has an inbuilt foliage tool.... All you have to do is supply what asset you class as foliage and it will paint it. You can use it to put anything down, but its mainly for foliage. So yea. I feel like an idiot. BUT HEY! This is gonna be a LOT faster now lol.

Thumbnail art progression!

As mentioned prior, I will be playing a game called PokeWilds. For this, I needed a new thumbnail. Here is the very early stages of finally doing it. I have no idea how to generate grass so I have been painfully pasting separate grass meshes. There is no effect on FPS, unless I move them. Had another crash as well. Soooo in the future I should probably generate this sort of thing. Thankfully, camera tricks are a thing. I'll have to use a LOT of those.

Too many leaves?

So I don't exactly have a grasp on working with terrain generation, so I was just messing around and adding lots and lots of leaves. I think... that was a mistake. UE5 hasn't crashed, it has frozen and just stopped completely.

Thankfully UE5 has a great auto save system and so I have not lost any progress, not that I had much past lots and lost of grass being manually added >.>

UE5 Progress update

So far it's been slow with UE5. I have had very little progress on the live streaming capabilities.

However, the good news is that I have so far made great strive in moving all my rendering content to UE5.

The problem I still face however is building the project. I am still stuck with running projects inside the editor which uses up more resources. I am still looking at how to fix it.

I am already planning my next render, which will be a pokemon inspired render for my upcomi...

UE5 Project update

Still running into the "Installing sdk failed" error for unreal engine 5.

This has my project's "final" goal halted. I still have things that are working fine, but ultimately things wont work perfectly without the SDK being fixed.

The SDK is all installed, at least the one all the documentation and resources point to.

Ultimately I am left with higher-quality face tracking, interactive physics objects and a program that has no transparency option. hm.

UE5 now on laptop

On top of that, chat and events on stream will cause physic objects to hit me.

What I have been up to behind the scenes and what it means for the future of my streams and 3D rendering.

I have been very hard at work using Unreal Engine 5.

Using systems like VMC protocol and Meowface, an android ARKit facial tracker, I have a very solid working high quality and extremely customizable environment for my streams and easy access to posing/animating tools.

The short story means extreme quality renders and professional-level tracking potential.

Thankfully swash, my bb, has let me use her laptop to run these things on the side so I can not have PC games affected b...

2022 Refrence sheets!

This includes my main outfit and this years Halloween outfit.

Doot!

I will be streaming a game called Trombone champ and I, of course, need a thumbnail so I made this simple Render. At the time of posting this I am not actually sure which angle I will be using.

2022 Halloween outfit!

My lovely patreons get the first look at my new Halloween outfit for this year!

I will be using this outfit all through October~

Slime extras

Much like the "Excuse me?" renders, I have no behind-the-scenes or extra quality, but I do have separate renders. PLEASE be civil if you plan to use these. I don't want myself put in controversial images. 

This contains my current model and old model.

"Excuse me?" Extras

While I don't have a higher resolution or behind-the-scenes content for these renders, I do have extras for anyone to mess with if you want. Just don't put me in controversial places please...

This includes both my old design and current design.

Playing chess

This was made for the Render request tier image so I didn't put too much effort into this because it was going to be resized and cropped to fit 460x200 meaning a lot wouldn't be seen.

I might end up using it for a stream thumbnail, but I have no idea what I would be able to use it for. 

Finished!

I finished the render for the upcoming Saiko no sutoka stream! I have created multiple versions exclusive to Patreon as well as more behind the scenes images. THERE ARE A LOT! This includes multiple versions with different and completely removed effects. 

Now, as you can see with the censored version, it just so happens to be a little... see through... This is a bug with the software that I am hoping the dev can fix. I also hope they add a "save project" option because if I want to...

Almost finished, however...

I am hoping I wont have to censor the thumbnail. If I do, I would have to remove the blood. The rest should be fine, but I REALLY want the blood.

Next game preview

With it being SPOOKY month I am finally going to play Saiko no sutoka, which is a yandere style game. You have to avoid being killed by a girl who has a crush on you. She would rather you die than get away. PERFECT FOR ME!

I am going to be recreating the screenshot for the thumbnails with some creative liberties.

Bonus views and post effect disabled - falling off chair

Here we go, the first post. figured people would like to see some extra angles as well as a version with no lighting. I plan to add more like this for future renders as well.
