Showing Restraint

Oh dear, it looks like applejack's really got herself in a bind now... why was she hauling a cart of apples in the nude in the first place? And is it just me, or does she seem kinda turned on by being this stuck? Meanwhile, OC's Bloo and Ravebounce are putting on a masterclass in ropework, and how fun it can be to get bound up on purpose!

Both of these were real challenges to work out in terms of framing, mechanics and execution... ropes are hard. There was a bit of a traffic jam in jan...

WIP#30: Pushing and Sliding

Now, this one's a lot of fun! I've been working on some more advanced and versatile methods of getting realistic skin and soft body deformation quickly and easily, and I'm very happy with these results! There are also a couple of exciting geometry nodes graphs involved as well, which I'll do my best to explain!

So first up, we're getting some nice squishing and bulging, using this rather noodly node graph:

Eye contact

Face to face, skin on skin, melting into eachothers eyes as bodies twine together... Fast or slow, there's nothing better!

These were great to work on, I think I wanna do more animations like them in the future! As normal, you can download them in 1080p, and 4K!

Poll #34: Cheeks!

Poll time again! This time, it's all about butts. Grabbing them, slapping them, fucking them and perhaps slipping fingers between them in a quiet private moment...

As usual, vote for as many as you like, and this one will have two winners! In the case of a tie, it's up to me.

Poll #33: Missionaries!

Watch out, they're coming to take your religion! Oh, wait, it's the other kind of missionary. That's much better. I haven't given this position nearly enough love, and It's been too long since we saw things with these characters! Time to remedy that. I think missionary is underrated, there are so many different variations and actions to explore!

As usual, pick as many as you like! There'll be t...

Total Domination!

The feeling of total control, the power of holding someone in the palm of your hand - or conversely complete submission, to be used and put in your place... It's a great joy! PotentiallyToast's OC, Tarah, loves to be dominated, pushed down, sandwiched between two guys ready to take whatever they want. Flim, on the other hand, would probably be ecstatically happy if applejack snapped him like a twig! With those big thighs to contend with, can you blame him?

These ones took a little while...

Poll #32: Second Chances Part 3, Teatime edition!

Greetings y'all, hope you're looking forwards to a good time over the holidays! Here in the melvin offices I'm hard at work on the next short film, Teatime! It's gonna be a fun threesome scene with big mac, pinkie and rarity, and you can already check out some of the parts I finished a while ago, in the archive! And of course, expect some more WIP updates over the next couple of months.

This is y'all's final chance to have a say in what's going in the scene, and what'll get left on the ...

WIP #29: Anatomy

What's up y'all! In between working on teatime, upcoming smaller animations, and a couple of commissions, I've been playing around with muscle systems, finally! For those of you wondering when the next animation is coming out, don't worry, there are a couple rendered and ready to go, just a little bit stuck in the sound phase of production. A warning on this one if the title image didn't tip you off, it's all anatomy all the way down, so we've got a lot of muscles and bones, and not a lot of ...

Poll #31: Making out!

g'december, y'all! This month we've got some fun lovey dovey kissy options - I've been doing a lot more hardcore stuff recently so it's time to balance it out a bit! There are just so many flavours of kissing to choose from: Cute little pecks of trust and comfort, the passionate pressing of bodies together, or the fireworks as friends suddenly find themselves as potential lovers...The soarindash and Startrix options will also be clothed, also!

WIP #28: Introducing Teatime!

Hey y'all! So, now that I'm done with Witching Hour, I'm sure some of you are wondering what's next! Well, you may recall in some previous posts, I've done a few animations in this nice sugarcube corner set I spent ages building back in... oh god, back in march. How time flies. Well, the plan was al...

Soarin, meet Myra!

Soarin's off on a PR tour for the wonderbolts... Not many other team members relish the prospect, but he's almost never alone in that hotel room! Plus, the room service does pie, so...

Hey y'all, this one's a fun one! Originally a poll feature animation for EZ-E's myra, this one expaned into a larger commissio...

Poll #30: Bound up tight!

Hey y'all! It's poll time again! This time we're playing with some exciting bondage, or  bondage-like situations... Once again featuring OCs Ravebounce and Berry Cream! I love these two, they've both got such nice shapes.

You might have noticed there weren't any polls in september and october - that's because I was working hard to finish witching hour! There's a long but shrinking list of ...

Witching Hour

Happy Halloween y'all! We're celebrating a little early since this year since I actually got The Stupid Project finished, so you folks can actually get it it a week or two early this time around!

Midnight on halloween is a time when many less common magicks are at their strongest, it's a time for deeper desires when our spookier selves, perhaps our truer selves get their due... Transformation, ritual and horny costume! everyone gets what they want.

This complete cut of Witching ...

TUT #27: Genesis Assets!

Hey everyone! As some of you might know, for a long time clothes have been the absolute bane of my existence - I want to put clothes in all of my animations, but they're so time consuming to make, and sometimes even worse to animate! daz studio genesis models benefit from an enormous content library of clothes in the daz store - but of course, they're part of this weird closed ecosystem with proprietary formats and strange conventions, so it's been impractical for a lot of artists. No longer,...

Witching Hour: Coming Soon!

Evening all, I've got a sneak peek for you! You may have noticed it's been a bit quieter here so far - that's because I've been hard at work actually finishing that angel bunny x flutterbat halloween animation that I put up the half finished version of last year, and an even more primitive version of the year before...

Yeah, it's come a long way. Two years on, and it now has a title: "...

Big Mac's Day Off!

Big Mac finally has some time off, so he's spending the day at fluttershy's... of course, there's only one real way they want to spend the day, but how far will they go? Fluttershy sure wants to make the most of it, so maybe the real question is how many times they will go...

Previously, we've seen a couple of little moments of this long, sweaty day big mac spent with fluttershy, but I've always wanted to show more! Rest assured, this won't be the last we see, I intend to flesh...

To mark or not to mark

Hey y'all! So ever since I started the HD archive I've been putting up both 4K and watermarkless versions of each animation, but I've never got any feedback on whether the no watermark versions are actually appreciated by anyone!

Additionally, recently a bunch of the non-watermarked animations have been uploaded to another site (hey! please don't do that! If you're the person who uploaded those, I'd appreciate if you thought again about the impact of what you're doing, and took them do...

Loud and Quiet

Which do you prefer, a nice intimate evening of fooling around, or a adrenaline pumping thrill all night? Whichever you like, we've got you covered! Whenever Twilight visits the crystal empire, she and Cadence have to work hard to find moments together alone... but it's worth it! Meanwhile in a distant wizard's tower, arcane lights pulse and the bass booms as OC's Ravebounce and Berry Cream really show 'em how it's done!

These two animations got horribly delayed, waiting behind other p...

WIP #25: True Goo

Gather 'round everyone! This one's a big deal. As those of you who've read part 1, part 2 and 2022-09-07 21:56:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Rarity, Special agent in charge

It was a dark sunset, hot like a poker and hazy, hazy like this whole damn mess. I turned my collar, wiped my brow and walked across the threshold. I knew who I’d find in this dark, smoky den, a vixen, a brilliant mind in a sharp suit - question was, how would she find me?

Introducing "intrigue", the new noir-inspired line from carousel boutique! inquire now for a fitting!

"She was a vixen, a brilliant mind in a sharp suit, and I was way out of my depth."  "Intrigue": Power...

WIP#24: Pretty Colours

A pretty large, but often under-appreciated part of the process when finishing renders is colour management! For a lot of CG artists, this is the "secret sauce" they're missing out on - frustrated that their renderer is spitting out dull, flat or unrealistic feeling images and wondering why. The secret it you have to know about colour spaces, or you'll always be leaving stuff on the table!

In the fluttershy example above, you can see the rather stark contrast between the image in blende...

After show VIP

Trixie's shows are usually very provocative, but Starlight is finding out that the real fun is to be had with whichever fans she takes backstage afterwards! Of course, it's possible to get more than you bargain for with someone like KnHawke's Firelight Guardian, if you don't have the stamina for 10 rounds...

This one is finally done! For some reason this particular animation took me almost two months to render - expect a behind the scenes post about that! It was hell. As usual, check i...

WIP#23: A little preview and update

Hey y'all! This is a quick one to show you a little image set I've been working on with Rarity, I've had a lot of fun with this sexy noir lighting and office outfit - real secret agent vibes - but of course she seduced the photographer ;) The clothes and environment here are originally genesis assets from daz studio - I've finally taken the time to work out a good workflow for porting and fitting them, so that massive content library is now something I can tap into when I need to! I'll talk m...

WIP#21: More Better Men

Hey all! This week I've taken a bunch of steps to more permanently improve my male models again! Once again let me just apologise up front for not writing as many wip updates as I should... I'm always so busy doing stuff that I forget to document anything! If you'll recall in the previous update I was having a great deal of difficulty maneuvering big mac's big meat, and her you can see my solution to that problem! More on that later.

First, in finally making (two thirds of, at time of ...

Poll #29: Amazon!

Alright, time to see the girls to really take charge! The amazon is a more obscure position, but I've been itching to animate it for a while just because the body mechanics are so different to how things normally work. Plus, we get some fun angles we wouldn't otherwise see, and the boys can be all flustered >:D

As usual, vote for as many as you like and I'll do the top two! Same rules for ti...

Shower toy

woah, looks like potenitallytoast's Tarah's got herself into a situation in the showers! I wonder why she snuck in there just before all the guys got in 🤔

These were such fun to work on! The interesting positions, the domination, the wetness. Oh yes. As usual, check them out in  1080p, and available in 2022-07-22 00:18:01 +0000 UTC View Post

A bit more of the bat!

This one's a bit of a preview at what's to come with the flutterbat x angel bunny animation - one I'm still working to finish! Even if it ends up taking two years. Now we get a little prequel with Fluttershy and her bat alter-ego, and we finally get to see that scintillating fishnet and leather come off! Hope y'all enjoy.

The flutterbat rip animation is currently only available in 1080p, but...

Poll #28: Double Trouble!

Hey y'all! This is one I've been looking forward to for a while - spitroasts, double penetration and tentacles! Clearly I'm not the only one, this is once again a double-feature OC poll! Returning once again is PotentiallyToast's Tarah, alongside newcomer Ravebounce, from the user of the same name!

As usual with these OC polls, each featured character is guaranteed an animation, so vote for as ...

Pie, marshmallow and one big sausage

So, just how much have these three been getting up to in sugarcube corner, anyway? It seems like if they do this all day there may not be any time to sell cakes! Maybe it's a slow one.

Two more pieces for the Rari-pie-mac threesome! In a lot of ways these two were much harder than expected to make work. that dang apple log is too big! Also, as always wonderful to work with a little more of the voice acting provided by 2022-06-27 02:34:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Poll #27: Crazy Positions

Hey everybody! This time around it's a fun one - and we've got another new OC to introduce! Give a warm welcome to EZ-E's OC, Myra! And, returning once again for another round of domination, it's PotentiallyToast's Tarah!

Just like the last double-booked poll, both of them are garuanteed to get an animation, so vote for as many as you like and I'll do the winning option for each character!
