I've spent more time trying to think of a title for this post than I spent writing it and now I must pee.

Even though I really enjoyed working on "Don't Forget to Lycan Subscribe", I felt like I didn't know where to go next, and that I was risking repeating myself without much in the way of advancement.
I decided it was time to upgrade the resolution of models I used, learn a few new tricks and start utilising some of the features afforded by current 3d software. Namely hair and cloth simulation. Gotta say, it's so much easier to work with and iterate upon than it was a few years ago.
I'm now kinda overfull of ideas and possibilities
So no sequences this month?
Right. No. I mean, yes...
I started out making one but then realised, "I have all these new tools, and I don't really know how they're gonna fit together". I wouldn't want to have a couple of characters begin to wolf out for example, only to find I didn't have enough hardware to show them together beyond page 6.
Turns out I was right to do this, as I'll explin a bit further in one of the uploads
So the month has been spent experimenting, testing, crashing, purchasing and getting inspired. I'll be uploading a selection of the results later today and would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe there's one or two you absolutely want to see in sequence?
The goal going forward is to start putting some Patreon money aside each month until I have the hardware to render more on screen. If you're reading this, then odds are, you've already contributed to the goal, so allow me to say a big thank, and hope you enjoy the works!
Stay safe and be excellent to each other.

I used to own a copy of Poser years ago (probably over a decade now), but it got expensive and DAZStudio started getting pretty damn good, then they joined forces with Nvidia and got real good.

Oh, that's exciting. :3 Yeah, I can get the hardware part. Just got myself an I9 processor and a good ol' GeForce RTX 2080. Helps when working on 3DsMax + VRay. Well... the graphics card is mostly for Doom Eternal. Rip and tear! :D Uh. Actually, I don't even know what tools you use. I've heard people mention something called "Poser". Would that be it for you too?
