Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (400) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Good evening peeps, Scriptor here with a new dev update!

Apologies for missing the dev update yesterday; long story short but I got a bit “lost in the sauce” with working on the Ligatio straitjacket. It’s been quite a while since I was to excited/into something, and one thing led to another... With me losing track of time, multiple times. Small warning that as such this dev update will be another long (and technical one); buckle up folks!

Ligatio straitjacket (DAZ asset):

So, the “Ligatio straitjacket”! As I said in the last dev update I’ve been working on an “universal” straitjacket for the genesis 8 female figure of DAZStudio. I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time and besides the (obvious) kinky reasons for making this; it’s also been a (big) challenge/learning process for me in regards of rigging in general. Knowledge which will no doubt come in handy with future creations (be they straitjackets or other bondage items).

I won’t lie: I got a bit “lost in the sauce” with this one in the last few days. My (almost) sole focus being getting the straitjacket tweaked, finished and working as intended. Fortunately after 4(?) days of randomly missed meals and less-than-usual sleep I can now say it’s done. Finishido! Or rather “finished enough” for the (near(ish)) future; as there’s always something new to add/fiddle with. That said I need to keep my other priorities in mind (read: No escape! And the “Best Friends Forever” comic). So for now it will have to do.

...Except I do have a small test reel showcasing the jacket and it’s options. So humor me while I walk through them with ya’ll. :3

Showreel of the Ligatio straitjacket:

So, first up: The base jacket itself! The final look hasn’t changed much from last week, though I addressed some more “problem” areas in the general rig (full leg splits especially were a bit finnicky around the crotch area). Luckily with some more weight mapping and custom Joint Controlled Morphs I managed to correct most of these issues, making pretty much any preset pose applicable to the figure while she’s wearing the jacket. With minimal adjustment required.

Hi-yah!

After some more fiddling with (and reading up on) rigidity maps, I’ve managed to get the jacket as close to “universal” as possible. As such it can be worn by pretty much any gen 8 lady, be they-

-stacked to the brim-

-jacked to the brim-

-puffy to the brim-

-or even a combination of ALL THREE: The jacket can (almost) handle all shapes without exploding at the seams (also sorry for the cursed image lmao). One caveat is that the “most extreme” of morphs (especially around the arms) do still cause issues; but the fact that it can handle most of these shapes (even while stacked on top of each other) is a technical win for me on its own. 💪

But it doesn’t end there! Because every good straitjacket comes in its (shiny) flavors! Texturing was also amongst the things I did some (heavy) self-study in the past 4 days. With me learning a boatload of new things in Sustenance painter as a result. The plan is to ship the finished straitjacket with its own dedicated “texture themes” (currently a total of 19 different ones), ranging from my own themed latex variants-

-like this “Biohazard” one. To ones based upon existing IPs-

-like this “Resident evil” one! Though most texture themes are based upon rubber/latex (for obvious preferential reasons), there are even non-rubber based options provided for the jacket.

For example “vintage” leather.

Or “brushed steel”, for the most "rigorous" of subs. 😉😋

Besides textures the straitjacket itself has also a few morph options to fine-tune its shape! I personally really love a more “V-shaped” shape in the wearers arms while they’re jacketed (you can thank Tonkatsu/Jacketfreak for that).

Easily changing the arms from it’s default “box” shape-

-into the aforementioned “V-shape”.

Besides some other morph options; like this one which controls the jacket’s internal pressure (giving it an inflated look)!

And last but not least: While the base jacket comes with a covered crotch and boobs, options will be provided that allows access to both of them (a special UV-map for the boobs and a geograft for the crotch)-

-giving easy entry for more...intimate play with the jacket’s wearer.

And that was the showreel showcasing all of the jacket’s features! Sorry if it sounded a bit like a sales pitch: It’s just that I’m pretty darn proud and happy with this one all around. I learned a metric sh*t-ton of new things while making it; most of which being things that are just incredibly useful to know. While also having something pretty and kinky to show off, which will have life even after I’ve used it for my own ends (or so I hope)! It’s long been a small regret of mine that most of the things I create for the genesis 8 figure aren’t “universal” for others to use; without decent (technical) knowledge of Daz/Blender... This is the first asset I’ve made that feels “on par” with stuff from Renderotica; and once it’s out I hope other DAZ users can (slightly) attest to that. 🙈

Anyhow I still need to package it all neatly into a singly directory and do some front-end work (making icon, instructions and what-not) before it’s ready for shipping. Plus I also want to do a few (small) single-image perils before releasing it for the wider audience. However once I release it, you can be assured that it will be free to download and use. As a celebration of my first “true” DAZ asset. :3

And that’s all for today! Apologies for not speaking a word about No escape or the “Best Friends Forever” comic, but I’m tired as heck and my brain needs some time away from the screen to recharge. Pinky promise that tomorrow I will do another dev update (FOR REAL THIS TIME), which will be about no Escape (and the Best Friends Forever) comic.

Everybody have a pleasant evening (or morning/afternoon); I’ll see ya’ll tomorrow!

Greetz,

Scriptor
