More news and more test (Patreon)

Hey guys! This will be a complex post. I'll start with some quick good news.

Pixie and VoiceLikeCandy are also done with LiTSiX sync. The sound is very hot. I can't wait to be under video. I'll pass it on to the sound designer tomorrow. We don't have to wait long for it anymore.

Next good news: That I have a sound designer. He is none other than Germophobe. I chose based on a recommendation. His demo is also amazing. I can't wait to listen to his work.

Two of my supporters also offered to help me write the text/script. So in the future, I can give better quality material to the makers of the sound. And we can prepare for a new workflow. In which I can also give work to external animators. This is not possible without a developed scenario.

Another piece of good news. There will also be voice acting in the Gatekeeper movie. And I leave that to the pros too. Here Lara's voice will be borrowed from ZeroDiamonds. Who doesn't know: https://youtu.be/YNNQKwGBRUg

I imagine the future with them. I hope we can work together on more projects.

Another good news is that we are reworking the sound of parts LiT 1-3 and Gatekeeper 1-2 afterwards.

Other: Patreon has introduced an annual subscription. I turned it on reflexively. That was stupid. I’ve thought it over and it’s unfavorable to me right now. Not because of less revenue. The action was set by me anyway. But accounting is the main reason. This is a big deal for Patreon. Not for me. That's how I turned it off. Anyone who has subscribed to an annual subscription will retain their subscription. No one lost money. Next time, I'll think first. I'm sorry.

And then the creative part can come now. Blender version 2.9 was released this week. It brought a lot of minor innovations. One of these is a new sky node. What I expected a lot from. I tested it too. It looks very promising. It is possible that there will soon be a day scene with Lara as well.

And one more test. I made the wet map for our fluid test. The point of this is to mark the texture at the junction of body and fluid. So I can e.g. adjust wet skin. But it can also come in handy for butt gripping.

Unfortunately, there was only enough time for 720p. This, too, has only now been completed. I wanted to post yesterday.

Thanks
