Manon 'The Prototype' 2023

So this project has been delayed and delayed and delayed, Laced with one problem after another π€¬π‘π€¬π‘πππππ Finally at a stage to just let go finally!!!
Basically the last 10-12 weeks or so I've been on a massive self-improvement mind set (my art methods only I mean, my personal headspace is unfixable π) I now have a stylus pen and upgraded GPU.......Goodbye GTX 970.....Its been emotional.
I have 2 words......PEN PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pen pressure has completely changed how I blend and basically my entire workflow has now changed after almost 25 years. Old dogs...new tricks.
I started using it on my Joker 2 character, Then when Brianna was complete I had become adjusted to it, Now I cant live without it.
Before a new skin project begins, I wanted to see if my new techniques worked before I risked wrecking a new photo set and then have to sit and paint the same set again my old way. So I ran some experiments on my older photography sets....7-8 weeks later I give you Manon the Prototype.
I'm buying some photography sets today so that is now next on my list......well after I finish the BBW set.....Oh and 3-4 scenes that are now 95% done. THEN I will paint the new skin with this new method.
What's changed?
1. Image warp finally works
I now have the ability to Realtime nip, tuck and nudge photos to go where I want and what shape I want and cover what I want in one single move instead of having to paint tiny strips and blend it all together. This will improve
- Mouths (Always been a weakness of mine)
- Tattoo 'schemes' and placement
- Eyebrows
- Nipples
- Gens (Yes my sacred Vagina's look even better now)
- Gen hairs (Yes my sacred Bushes or bush-e-er now)
2. No more feather fences and blurred masks (spline secret sauce)
Industry standard to blending anything together is feather edge fences or the equivalent of. I now have my own custom way of blending which uses zero feather edges and any blurring of any kind.
Feather's will always destroy pixel fidelity in that area because of the way it ghosts 2 layers together, I now 'key' photos together instead of blurring them together using a custom brush I made, There is now minimal blurry flat area's of skin, the whole torso has some sort of detail as my new technique creates this impossible skin texture build up, just as a by-product of the method I now use. This combined with the baked normals in that area....It looks a lot more detailed.
Its taken me a very long time to figure this method out and I will take it to the grave, So don't bother asking π€£ππ€£ No one should give up the family secret sauce.
3. No more torch bum-luminesce-glowing body!!!!! (spline secret sauce)
Since the beginning I have noticed the characters are so bright, but not surface bright, an under the skin glow looking effect. Like they have a torch up their ass turned on.
I always mentally pictured it as....Imagine looking at a stained glass window at a cathedral. Behind the glass is a giant flood light beaming through it, the glass and colours will pop vibrantly, so vibrantly that all the small details inside all the individual window sections are just one big glowing colour.......If you dim that light slightly all of the small hand-painted characters inside the glass start to show up, turn the light down too much and everything just becomes very dark and it just looks like dark glass.
Well I finally figured out how to 'dimm' that flood light without making the skin look like a corpse or zombie. No more bright glowing skin inside VaM, my skins now look like a solid living object and not a glowing cartoon with a detailed skin texture.
This might slightly disorientate you at first, and your first impression might be.....Why is this so dark? But after a few scenes you will adjust and realise that it isn't too dark, its just all the other VaM skins are too bright. Trust me on this 'See example'
WIP:
- BBW skin set of this (this was originally a BBW skin which then evolved 3 times. I still have my original work so it will transfer to this)
- Torso nipple options etc
- FULL TATTOO SUIT
- Face options
Feat:
- 8 presets (save them for easy load into scenes or character mods etc)
- Loads of new hairs that work in combo
- 2 Body types (shaved gen or full bush)
- Cellulite (Removable) (Stronger depth)
- Bra cup marks (Removable)
- Tattoos (Removable)
- 3 New Faces
- Subtle Varicose veins (BBW originally)
One last thing, f**k me this is a big write up..........My big ticket Model releases will now come with a 'spline MODE' character as a bonus. This is basically a way of me sharing my personal taste character without alienating the guys who like slim/old/Futa etc
They will still get what they want but I also get to make a LOT MORE thick curvy tattoo girls etc without it becoming spline@tattooedbbwcurves.com every release.
In other words, Lots more BBW's incoming but also my variety models still. Its win win for everyone.
Anyway, Merry Christmas/happy holidays and a very happy new year guys and girls.

Best Yet, detail is amazing, loved the skin texture and bra lines

Great skin texture, very realistic and what I hoped for, (the bbw one). Still hoping you'll bring it next level by separating the head morphs from the bodies. I like the bbw / ssbbw shaping, but the big duck lips, and lip injecting look, XD I spent far too much time trying to unmorph those.. which ones are you using for the lips?

I have 3 BBW sculpts WIP at the moment. I like to work on something then leave it for a month and come back to it with fresh eyes.

I've been using global illum since it was introduced, That is the first thing I change on a new character but its still wasn't enough, as soon as another light touched the body, boom...Flashlight again. Well no more.
Dude
I read the entire post but all I remember is MORE BBWs!!! ππ

I would love to see you revisit and update Monica with these techniques. That's still my favorite skin set of yours, and it even lacks normals. I can't release my favorite looks because my top 5 all have this skin preset applied.

That number 3. I hate that glow. I have figured out something in the lighting that takes that away. And also a change to the illumination filter.. if I can get that sparkle to remove from blonde hair.. like spec intensity too high. Just talking out loud.

so hot!
