Update - New Face Rig, Annual Memberships with 10% Discount
🕑 Added 2020-10-02 12:08:38 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I hope you had a great week! I managed to finish a first version of the new facial rig. Please note there are still a couple of things that need tweaking. Like the lower teeth vanish when she opens the mouth, the skinning when she smiles, frowns (basically all emotions) and so on. But overall I am very very happy with the flexibility :)
Like the way some controllers drive/influence others. For example when she smiles, the cheeks also move automatically, the lip controls are more flexible and so on. I had to do that all one by one before, and now it´s a lot easier and faster to use. That is a BIG step for improving not only my workflow but also improving the quality while spending less time.
However: having a new Face-Rig also means that I have to redo all animations. But I really needed to improve things so we are better prepared for future projects. And in the long rung, it will save a lot of time. I plan to use that for Episode 6 already and then for all future productions.

Another cool thing is that it can be used for basic facial motion capture. I used a sample file from a software that can do that, applied it to the facial rig and also did some polishing. But I think, overall, this is pretty cool :)
The main disadvantage of the facial mocap is, that it´s not capable of the complete range of motion. Like looking angry is simply not working. I have to go over the animations anyway, but still there is a lot of stuff that can be improved from the automated side.
Here is a clip of what I did. It does look a bit weird because only her head and face are moving, and also the audio itself is a bit weird, but please ignore that. It's just a test.

So v1.0 is great as a start, but I will have to polish that even more. But I would say I am 60-70% done.
I also started with another animation from our Poses-Poll. The Full Nelson Pose:
Next week or the week after next week, I plan to have a nice little Movie with the Lick-Out scene for you. Not just the playblasts from Maya but nicely done in Unity. Either in the the Museum from EP3, the Throneroom from EP4 or, or the Beach from EP5? What would you prefer? Let me know :)
And last but not least, I enabled annual Memberships with 10% discount.
Alright, that´s it from me for now! I hope you like the update :)
Have a great weekend!

Well cumshots are on hold right now until we have the new system. But I like the idea ;)

Thanks

Thanks! There are actually a lot of limitations, like one eyebrow up and the other one down does not work at all. But it´s good as something to start as basis and then polish on top of it :)

Nice work on the face rig too, looks like a nice set of controls 🙂

I don't know what you have planned for that Full Nelson pose, but it'd be nice to see Brittany get so hard that her cock popped in between her tits and she tit fucks herself while being fucked and cums all over her face and tits... hehe.

The Facial Motion Capture already looks realistic enough, so if you're saying that you'll tweak and improve it even more... Maaan, it will be awesome! Oh, and I vote for the Throne Room :)
Puppetmaster3dx
That is indeed a very good question... As far as I know, you would have to choose the annual 15$ tier. I don´t know about the costs if you switch back and forth to be honest.

Looking forward to Dick-Rig. lol I would like to change to Annual payment but what if I have to change Tier during that period. For example, I'm would like to change monthly to annual $5 Tier but when you release new product so that O have to change into $15 Tier. How much does it cost me?
Puppetmaster3dx
Thanks! Ok, 1 vote for the Throne Room it is! :)

Ja und vielseitiger. Die Gesichter sind mit dem neuen Rig deutlich expressiver. Man sieht das in den Videos jetzt nicht sooo gut, aber alleine dass die diversen Controller automatisiert von anderen gesteuert werden, ist genial :)

This is all so very cool and look forward to your first video. I'd like to see it in the Throne Room.

Super! Das hier ergibt wirklich einen riesigen qualitativen Sprung - und die Möglichkeit längere Szenen darzustellen!
Puppetmaster3dx
Thanks! And yes you are totally right! It is fun but at the same time frustrating. Because there are still quite intense limitations... But if it helps a bit with standard dialogue, that's already a plus :)

Looking good! That's a nice sexy pose, too! 👍 Good, luck with the mocap stuff. I'm sure that's fun to play with, but frustrating, too.
