Character Survey

I want to do something a little different for this week. I've been thinking of all the ways I can do alternate content (short movies, long or short loops) as well as the characters/franchises that I would use, and it's all a bit overwhelming. I started to make a list out of all the possibilities so that I can hone it down to a defined plan. I want your feedback too.

While Mass Effect will be the primary content as this is to drive the movie, I want a bit of variety as well, so all chara...

Plans

With the scenebuild revamp more or less complete, it's time to go over the next step of Undercover ASSignment. Additionally, I want to go over the plans that go with that.

I'll need to implement the new scenebuild to all the old scenes and poses. I'll also need to implement the new Miranda model to those as well. That means some scenes might get changed a bit to suit the better model and new scenebuild. I also want to go through the audio and possibly restore some cut content to accommo...

May Update Week 2

The scenebuild for the VIP section is basically done. I said pretty much the same thing last week, but I still had to go through and fix some models. I went through and fixed about two dozen models this week. Most of them needed the normal maps fixed, model geometry fixed, or both. Some models weren't fix by either, so I kept the ones that were good enough and got rid of the rest.

I also recompiled half a dozen hologram props with an extra skin group. This allows me to use all pink, ora...

May Update Week 1

I'm pretty tired so I want to keep the update description brief, but there's plenty of pictures to make up for it. The VIP section of After-Life is just about complete. The structure and the main props are set for all rooms. The main thing left to do is fix the normals for some models. I've gone through the build and decompiled all models that will need to be fixed and it's about a dozen and a half of them. I also need to fix some textures and materials.

April Update Week 4

This is going to be a rather short update as technical issues impeded the build completion. Although the build is nearly complete, there's a problem with a fair amount of the models. I've mostly build the scene without any lighting as it's much easier and performance is better. With lighting enabled though, a decent number of models have problems with their normals. Without being too technical, it basically has to do with how light interacts with a model.

I thought it was going to be ju...

April Update Week 3

While I've done some setup for posters, I haven't completed any because I've mostly focused on scenebuilding this week. I'm making a push to finish it since the build is almost complete.

Top screenshot shows off the main entrance of the club. It's been updated a bit since I last showed it off. The center hologram has parts of the dreadnought barrel to cap it off, so it looks more like a proper object. I also used the dreadnought barrel for the middle of the walkway too. The floor has be...

April Update Week 2

I got more work done on the scenebuild, but I'll start with the star of the show. I want to finally go over some improvements of the new Miranda model.

Although it's not much, the first picture shows off her higher resolution face texture. It does slightly change her texture, so I want some opinions if you guys like it more.

Next up, new flexes. This is the new jaw drop flex. The old one ...

Elena Posters

I played through the Uncharted trilogy somewhat recently, and I wanted to do something with Elena. I ended up making two posters.

April Update Week 1

Mainly, this is an update for the scenebuild. As pictured, the stairs and hallway to the other level of the club are more or less done. There's some more props to be added, but the structure is basically ready. I wanted an area that connected the levels of the club, and this section is very much inspired by structure from upper to lower After-Life in game.

The other part I worked on was the bar...

Moxxi Poster

Moxxi smashed the poll, so I was able to start it early, and I completely it quite quickly too. There's plenty of Borderlands props, so I'm pretty tempted to do more Borderlands related stuff.

March Update Week 4

Hey guys, this update is kind of more like a summary of the month and plans for content.

To start with the movie, I've continued building out the VIP section. I'm in the process of building out the stairs to another level and the bar. It's kind of slapped together at the moment, so there's no pictures of it yet.

In general, I still need to finish the scene build itself. Then, I can combine it with the original movie poses and implement the new Miranda model. I've used the new mode...

Update before the update

Got sick this week. Got even more sick today, and I haven't been able to do as much as I wanted. There's also a decent amount of content that I want to talk about and I don't want to rush it, so I'm gonna delay the update until tomorrow.

Borderlands Poll

A poll while the hype is hot! I haven't done anything with borderlands in a long time, but now I'm in the mood. It seems like a good way to get a poll going.

Pictures for those unfamiliar with the franchise. Moxxi, 2019-03-28 20:56:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Jill and Rebecca Commission

Rebecca joins the RE party!

And with that, the commission marathon for this month is more or less complete. At least, I've done enough that I can finally work on some of my own posters.

March Update Week 3

This is gonna have to be a quick update as I'm kinda busy. I've got the main entrance to the VIP section nearly nailed down. The walls looked pretty bad when they were flat with the side rooms, but look much better when they come off at 45 degrees. The ceiling works with a similar shape. The doorway at the back will lead to the rest of the club. I also took the circular walkway from the center and scaled it up for another walkway. With the new set of walls, it actually works pretty well to gi...

Miranda and Volus commissions

The commissioner wanted something with Miranda and Volus. I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I started with Miranda stripping for them, and then I came up with an interesting way to make it more hardcore.

March Update Week 2

I've made some pretty good progress on the scenebuild. First thing I did isn't such a big change but has helped building the scene out. I edited the scaling on the floor and ceiling props and re-positioned them. This has made it so everything fits together better, and that helped as I built out the center and copied the initial room for another on the side.

I raised the ceiling towards the center so the hologram gets to show off more. Other than that, I'm still thinking about how to des...

March Update Week 1

It's not much, but this is the update I've made to the VIP scenebuild. From the last version, the glass was actually part of a wall prop. I went into blender to separate them, so I could use the glass part freely. That allowed me to use it on the side walls too, and I added in some more fans and pipes to fit the aesthetic of Omega.

Unfornately, that's about all the progress I've made. While I've nailed the look of Omega as I want it for this particular section, I've had a lot of difficu...

Exhausting but fun commission set. I'm kind of in the mood for more Dragon Age now.

February Report

At the start of the month, I outlined a couple goals for February. I wanted to start doing more posters, and I wanted to finish the scenebuild revamp for the movie.

I'll start with the posters. I aimed for about 1-2 posters per week... and didn't release any. But it's not as bad as it sounds. I put a priority on commissions. It's just that the commissioners have been busy, and it takes time to decide on what their posters should be. That caused the commissions to stack up, and I had a l...

February Update Week 4

I've continued with the scene build, and I'm nearly finished with the main level. I fixed the areas near the doors, added a floor to the higher level, and surrounded the walls with spotlights.

I've also fixed up the area near Aria's couch.

Ground level view of the place.  Overall,...

February Update Week 3

I've continued with the scene build for Omega. It's been more tedious and time consuming than expected, but it's coming along pretty well. Building out the floor with square tiles around the circular center took a few tries to get right. The walls were pretty easy. 

In game, there really isn't much room to walk outside of the circular path. It's just small corners with tables, and the rest of it is sort of sectioned off or walled off. They're not really any objects that have been p...

February Update Week 2

Okay, so I think things are going pretty well so far for February's plan. I've currently got six posters in the making and some more that are being planned. I hope that I can finish some of them up soon and start rolling them out. That part of the process is slow because I need to make sure the commissioners are good with them first.

For the movie, I bulked out the entrance of After-Life just a bit more.

Dragon Age Poster Commission

I don't think I posted this one before, but it's slightly older. The second poster with Leliana and the Ogre. I want to get this one out before I start posting new stuff.

February Update

There's basically two main things to update you guys on, which were more or less covered last week, the movie scene build and posters. I'll start with the movie.

I've made progress on the scenebuild outside of After-Life. I looked at ME2 to try and make it more accurate in terms of layout and color palette. It seems Omega's color comes from the lighting more than the buildings themselves. The building materials are more grey than brown in Omega, so I've toned them down a bit. I've also ...

Undercover ASSignment Update

A more substantial update for this week! With feedback from last update, I've settled on the story for the movie, and I've written up a rough draft of the intro. It is set after the end of Mass Effect 1 but before the destruction of the Normandy in Mass Effect 2. Thinking steps ahead, the Illusive Man wants data on the Collectors and arranges a deal with Aria. Miranda must work with Aria to earn the data. Miranda isn't given any specifics. It's only on Omega that Aria tells Miranda just exact...

Undercover ASSignment Update

Hey guys, slowly starting to get better and getting back to a normal schedule. Worked a bit on that Cora animation, and I've been thinking about other supplementary animations I can work on while I'm doing the movie. I'm still struggling to think of good ideas for short loops. It's probably worth a post of its own, but I'm still playing around with some ideas, so I'll leave it at that for now. Mainly, I want to talk about the movie.

I've been slowly piecing together the details of the s...

Cora WIP + Movie Ideas

Just a small update for this week. Managed to get sick earlier this week so my productivity has taken a hit. I figured rather than do something new from scratch, I'd try to take it easier and work on something already started. I suppose interest in Andromeda is limited, but it's still Mass Effect, and it's a pretty fun pose.

First Update of the Year

Hey guys, have a lot to talk about but I'll try to be brief on each topic.

For starters, I've got a decent amount of poster commissions to catch up on, so I think that might be the primary content released as I figure other content out.

As for the movie, I've been going through screenshots of Omega from ME2 and ME3 to gain inspiration for scene building. As well, I want to go through some of the Mass Effect comics that take place on Omega. I want to adhere to Omega's ...
