RE: Animations.... I have a workaround. (Patreon)

Initially when I created my post about animations, my access to them was monetarily limited, or basically, "I ain't payin for that shit, bruh."If you haven't heard, Grok Imagine came out and while NSFW is... tricky... and I'll get to that past the paywall, I have been able to create animations of sound and quality FAR better than Starsong One, and Lynx One. Which is cause for some sort of celebration.

Read on past the paywall to hear the issues I've been having regarding my usual generation site, and some more animated gifs that will make their way to the Pixiv. I'll have a new post with a zip file of all the new animations I've created as MP4 with sound.

So.... Frosting has been shitting itself fantastically as of late. It's basically a site run by paranoid furries who are terrified of getting sued to the point that their recently updated "Prohibited Content" rules list some real galaxy brain definitions of subrules, to what seem like normal no-brainer base rules.

I hate to think why they think pregnancy equates UC, and if my hunch is correct, it's the dumbest thing on this list. That's saying a lot for a list that contains "Twink" which literally is just gay slang for "skinny younger guy" Hell, I would have been classified as a twink up until my 30s. I believe they believe it's synonymous with a different Japanese term for "diminutive male." IFKYK because I'm already pushing enough term boundariesBut holy hell they went have on what they count as "bestial" because for a site that consists almost entirely of furries, they can't be serious about these definitions. I correspond with someone on Frosting for having a scene with a succubus and a person, as they count "demon x human" under the "Any similar combinations" subset. What the fuck do they think a succubus DOES?!Also Human x Elf is bestial?! A fucking ELF?! A long standing character archetype in which the most traditional non-Christmas depiction is just "tall thin human with pointy ears?!"

All that, and Frosting STILL got dropped by their payment processors. I think said bankers didn't want to be associated with AI in general, likely a Kool-Aid drinker overreaction, but Frosting is equally overreacting with this. While they claim they might be working with a new processor soon, (and possible this new one told them to add these rules) the whole thing hit right as I was set due for a new charge, meaning my Nebula Tier, the one that has all the models I need for the pics I do on here... is no longer active unless I get into Bitcoin or slide a 50 under the table to one of the owners. Not really planning on that. It's possibly I'll have to manually re-up once it's restored, and the way things are going, I don't think that's wise.I still have a LOT of things generated that I didn't retrieve yet, so I'm definately not short on things to upload here. I'm just ADHD-AF.I have alternatives. Some I need to get actually working on, and others I found were quite ok with what I wanted to do... kinda.This brings me to Grok Imagine (as seen on the Superbowl/bitched about by antis on Bluesky).If... and only IF, the NSFW feature was consistent and not all janked up due to the deepfake BS they foolishly unleashed, Grok Imagine would be PERFECT.It uses real talk text instead of weighted prompting, so I can describe intricacies that mostly don't get completely ignored. But most impressively, it does animation/video really REALLY well. Some of the best animations I got on Starsong pale in comparison to some of the weaker ones I got on Grok. With SS and Lynx, there was almost always SOMETHING wrong. Clipped hands, odd anatomy, and while that's still very much a thing, it's not costing me a ton of very expensive points to witness multiple failures until I get one I want.

Grok's limitations are more frustrating, because due to the aforementioned deepfaking that ran rampant, you can no longer reliably make NSFW content of anything you upload, regardless if it was AI generated or not. With that I started looking at workarounds. I have a lot of "bulge" themed gens, and I was curious if that could be mostly ignored by the filters, as on Pixiv, you aren't required to censor penises that are covered in cloth, no matter how obvious and detail that penis is.One thing I did notice is that Grok liked to ignore the bulges on futanari. It usually read them as just normal women and immediately removes them in a lot of animations. If I directed them to keep the bulges, or identify them as futanari, it would either go into "blocked content" mode... or...

Holy floppy futa cocks, we're in business!

Now, this isn't very consistent, mind you. I will often have to try multiple times on an uploaded image before I get a result and IF I get one. It seems to freak out if there's any penis, too much exposed skin, or a nipple existing that isn't just bulging out of the shirt (even through it has multiple times GENERATED nipples that weren't initially there.)With that I created this recent set of animations, all of which will be going up on Pixiv in small increments.(Some of these have audio in the MP3, which I'll upload in a future post but I'll caption any dialogue on here)

You can expect another post about the trials of Grok Imagine and my workarounds that would all be absolved if I finally just learn to set up an AI renderer on my PC.
