Project X: Subject 2 Update

Hey, I'm back from vacation and I want to give an update on the project status. This will be a fairly brief update since I've only come back recently, but I have already been working more on the project.

I've hit a milestone for all the posters. I've completed the first pass of lighting for all pictures in the project. That is 60+ total. I don't want to give an exact number since some might end up getting cut or some might get added, but that is more or less the number.

What does ...

Project X: Subject 2 WIPs

I'm on vacation right now, but here are some extra WIPs of the project! Sorry there is no lighting for these, but I wanted to quickly schedule some extra content before leaving so you guys have something while I'm out.

Project X: Subject 2

The sequel to Project X is finally ready for a proper announcement!

Cyberpunk Commission

A one-off poster commission featuring SomeNerdyGentlemen's Cyberpunk OC with Hanako Arasaka. It was really fun working with the Cyberpunk theme for this one!

Project X Sequel Update

Here is an update post for both sequel projects.

Project Claire

This one has more substantial work done, so this is probably going to be the bulk of the post. Since last update, the project now has 56 pose complete pictures. 48 are the smut and 8 of them are the story setup stuff. Of course, everything is subject to change. Some pictures might be dropped, some might be added. That said, this looking like it will be at minimum about the same size as Project X.

I've received m...

Project Claire WIPs

Hey, here are some pictures from the Claire project! These are fairly low sample count, denoised, and have no editing, but the posing and lighting are close to final.

Commissions Open

I should probably post this here too in case anyone doesn't follow closely on twitter. I'm opening commissions for about a week.

The foundations for the project X sequels are going really well, but I'd like to squeeze in a little more commission work. This is especially helpful to offset the cost of all the voice over work for the scripts. I will provide an update on those projects within a couple days.

Pricing is outlined in this previous post. 2023-06-26 00:44:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Project Claire WIPs

Here's just a few early shots from the Claire project. This represents a literal fraction of the content as I have 48 posters fully posed. Of course, this is all subject to change as the project really comes together.

Between lighting everything and putting an actual draft together with all the audio, I'm still not really sure how long it will take to complete the project. That's not including the animated elements either. I'm considering animating some of the Claire's poses into short ...

Project Claire Update

Another update for the Project X sequel with Claire. I don't really know what to title it so far, Project X 2 feels a little clunky. Fun fact, Project X was only a working title but in the end I just kept it because I didn't come up with anything better.

Anyway, to the update proper. I've gone through the script more, finalized it, and actually sent it off to the voice actresses for recording. I received audio from both of them today. 2023-06-17 03:59:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Project Update

This is a fairly small update content-wise, but I thought to make it sooner rather than later. I'm closing commissions for the next couple weeks or so to really set the groundwork for the Project X sequels.

I mentioned earlier that I began writing the scripts for both Claire and Ada. I've revised them both and started doing some earlier storyboard work. The scripts are very close to being finalized.

Early storyboard work (basically, notes on ideas for positions and a lot of t-pose...

Ashley and Leon Full Commission Set (4k)

Overtime! This is the full set for the Ashley and Leon commission. 12 pictures and 2 alternates total.

This one took a while to get the lighting down, but it came together really nicely.

Full Set Link 

Ada Animation (1440p, no watermark)

1440p resolution and no watermark for the Ada animation. Although Cycles is pretty heavy for render times, I didn't want to settle with 1080p for the highest tier version. 1440p is a little less than twice the pixel count of 1080p, so it is still a fairly decent upgrade.

Mega MP4 (39.6 MB)

I'm still thinking about possibly doing another alternate later, but the 10 hour...

Ada Animation

The Ada loop is ready! I'm really pleased with the lighting and jiggles in this one. As I mentioned in the WIP post, this is only the second animation I've done in Cycles. It is also my first animation in 30 FPS when I normally use 24 FPS.

Mega MP4 (21.9 MB)

Due to the 10 hour render time, the higher tier version is 1440p and so far I've not done any alternate outfits....

Ada Loop Preview

The Ada animation is just about complete as long as there are no problems with the final render. I already have all the editing done, so I just have to plug it in once it's ready.

The loop is 10 seconds long. This animation is actually fairly interesting. I've done it in Cycles, which makes it only the second animation I've done in Cycles. I've taken a middle ground to rendering at 1440p for the higher tier version. This is already pretty heavy for Cycles, but 4k was definitely too much...

Overtime WIP

Now that it has been paid for, here is a preview of the Leon/Ashley commission set. It will be 12 pictures total.

Project Updates

Hey, this is a fairly small update, but I thought to make it nonetheless. The Ada loop I've teased earlier is nearly complete. Hopefully, that'll be out within a few days.

I have a fairly large 12 poster image commission set coming soon. It is fully posed out, and I'm just waiting on payment to finish it. I think that it should be done within a week or two. I'll just say someone accepted an offer for "protection detail" and leave it at that for now...

Lastly, I have an update for ...

Isabela Commission Set

Another Isabela commission. I did this one in Cycles with particle hair. I don't think I actually previewed her particle hair before, but it was kind of a side project I did for fun earlier in the year.

Project Ideas

I'm gonna go over some of the main ideas I have for potential upcoming projects.

This is a post I wanted to make for the last few weeks, but I've been so swamped with commissions that I haven't even really had the time to start talking about any of the ideas let alone begin production. I still have to prioritize commissions just because they make substantially more money which allows me to continue doing this, but I really do want to work on some of my own projects too.

A Jill commission with one alternate version. It is nice when I get to work in Cycles, and I really like how this one turned out.

Ada Jill Group WIP

Here's a few WIPs from a somewhat big commission project I'm working on. The total set will be 10 posters. It's all fully posed and multiple lighting passes are done. I need to work on sculpting a little more as well as fluid edits before finalizing everything.

I don't often post WIPs of commissions, but since this is a particularly big set, I want to show off what I've been working on.

Ada WIP

This is just a still from a loop I'm working on. It's actually an unreleased pose from a poster set I did earlier last year, and I liked the lighting so much I wanted to animate it. Additionally, I want to refine my animation skills as I am not consistent with how often I animate.

Ada is one of my favorites, and Project X was actually the first time I've released an animation with her in it. It hardly counts though with her not being the main star.

This is probably also a giveaway...

Project X Launch Review

I'm pretty surprised by this launch, so I kind of want to do an overview on some metrics and what that means for future projects.

Project X is the biggest project I've done in years, and long time followers know that I've struggled gaining enough support to do these kind of things sustainably. I hesitate still to put this in the same category as short movies like others I've done since it has minimal animated parts, but it is nonetheless a larger project.

In 4 days since launch, P...

Project X Full Release (4k)

The project is finally complete! Even if you aren't so excited about the characters involved, I'm very curious for feedback about the format itself. What did you think about the style for audio with posters? How is the writing, pacing, editing?

-

Movie Download - Since the file size for this project is pretty huge, I'm also providing some 1080p links with no watermark in alternate formats as well.

Project X Update

The project in Blender is complete! I still need to render and edit, but the content is pretty much locked down. This is a pretty quick update from last time, but I didn't expect the last few details to take long to finish. I animated the camera, did another pass of Ada's animation, did another pass of the lighting, and fixed up the pacing with the last bits of audio I received. The project length is about 5 minutes 20 seconds.

Estimations of render time put this around 20 hours. I'll p...

Project X Preview

The project is very close to completion! All posters are rendered and edited. I've done a first pass of all the lighting and character animation. The look of the project is more or less done. The main thing left to do is animate the camera. I need just a little more audio recorded, which should be given this week. After that, the project will be finalized and ready for render.

Even with Eevee doing 10-15 seconds per render at 4k, this project is nearly 5 minutes long, so it's going to t...

Project X

I posted some WIPs with Annette earlier, but I'm now going to show off the project a little more formally now that it is near completion.

The idea here is that Ada stumbles across Annette Birkin's "research" with Mr X. It it meant to be very light on animation with her audio logs narrating the poster set. This is an experimental idea to try to spice up larger poster sets, and it allows for much more variety than an animation which would only have a few loops. The character might be fair...

Aria Commission Set (4k)

Something about the number one rule of Omega? I'm pretty thrilled with how this set came out. I think this might actually be the first set I've done with Aria.
