5 Tier - series 1 - Poke, Scrape, Boob, Brush, Silicone Mold, Paper Towel

CAREFUL WITH THE START. Sorry, I'll make sure to fade in next time. 

I wanted to get this done so people could know what I had in mind but I'll get better at it.

Last Post (sorry to spam) - NEW TIER

I have a new tier. 

The Test Subject

This tier will receive at least two 30 minute length trigger videos per month or more. These videos will have minimal editing, no special lighting or scene. I may have bad skin/make up and there may be faint sounds in the back like traffic/tv. Or they may be perfect. They will be entirely trigger based. But they will still have noise reduction, eq, smooth transitions, removal of loud noises etc. They may only have two...

Here's how I'm thinking it would work (updated)

quick and dirty way to explain it

Some possible options for patreon -reintroducing tiers? Requests?

Hey there. I wanted to sort of get a feel for some things. 

I've had little hiccups but overall have been feeling much better and more productive the last few months. 

As you may know I used to have other tiers on the patreon but reduced everything to the $1 tier to make things easier on myself and be more fair.

I am struggling to maintain this financially at the moment and am trying to figure out ways where I can help support the channel etc wi...

Massage Sounds Experiment - Body (silicone soap mold) vs Ears (silicone ears)

this thumbnail makes me want to dye my hair red.

Electric Barrelina - Tulle and repeating "pretty electric ballerina"

Get it?? Barrel. hehe anyways! The colour does this weird thing at the transitions (it's very distracting im sorry) and I had to do stuff to make sure those rodes don't peak. I've had issues with them lately. If you watch it and hear peaking like, too much bass, let me know because this version I didn't listen all the way through.

Ad free version for you. I'll be recording part two this week :)

Ad free Halloween night video

Don't watch this video. It's not done. It's all messed up.

I grinded really hard but, like the carnival, was too ambitious. So as an act of good faith this here what I got done for halloween. I know a way to make it ok any time of year.

13:45 - 21:05 Is ok to watch. That's pretty much how I want it to be hehe/

update

Hey all...I'm very sorry but again I won't be able to finish the big video for halloween day. I ended up having a lot of trouble trying to rig and animate some elements.

We won't stop working on it though. I hope I can make it up by doing two other videos by halloween. The good thing is I made stuff I can use for sets. I tried to make too many people happy.

We can do it sort of as a flashback and then lead into the baba yaga christmas stuff. 

This looks kinda bad

But it's just a test ^_^ I'd remove the lightbulbs for this scene. I also got some tomb stones.

rough ghost test

ignore that other junk in the scene. this was composited in premiere, so you don't see the reflections in the archway yet. 

Took a little break but back

I do a lot each Halloween for the kids so I made the decorations and goodie bags for Halloween night early. That way I can spend my time on this animation. I've been back at it the last couple of days and did a quick test. So the end clip is made in after effects, with particles, distortion and some lightning I made. I've done stuff similar before. I rendered it out as an image sequence and put it into the scene with the tentacles. The first clip here feature a heart I pur...

Inside low res animation

I'm already having some repetitive strain symptoms. Using ice and heat and stretching. Now that I'm at a better place with the animation I'll try to take breaks again. Took a couple hours to relax tonight and will tomorrow afternoon to meal prep.

I don't think the camera movement is working at the end. 

I should redo the intro to use the Arnold renderer first and then block in the 4 sections. Purple one eyed tentacle monster is first then Vampire, gho...

Where we really are INSIDE (does this annoy you?)

I'm worried that me posting this stuff regularly goes to people's emails and makes them want to leave the patreon. Let me know.

I already need a bit of a break. My body is starting to really feel it. But I'm digging the Arnold renderer so much I want to convert the first part to see how it looks.

I'm concerned that the green screened video won't match the hyper realism of the 3d but man do I love how this looks.

Yes I stole the art from Die Antwoord (they...

Introducing "Arnold"

Figured out the new renderer :) This will be just fine.

Entrance: Where we *really* are

So I spent the whole last two days replacing the lights in the scene, all the bulbs, and the sign, as well as the balloons. I changed all the bulbs and balloons to instances, which means the computer when rendering recognizes them as repeats and thus renders them faster. Even with that done, the render time is approximately 12 hours. I don't know what else I can try to reduce the time. It looks pretty much the same after all that work but I consider that a success.  2022-09-28 02:07:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Sort of bad news

So I found all my original files but I also just found out that mental ray, the renderer I used for the original animation I just showed you, was discontinued a few years ago lol. So many of the lights and textures in the scene are no longer available.

This means I need to replace them all in the scene and possibly have to learn the renderer that replaced Mental Ray. It's called Arnold. 

I think I'm going to have to switch everything to Scanline rendering....

Carnival Vlog 2 (already?!!) I figured out the "experiences"

idk why I listen to myself if I still don't move away from the mic. 

Here are the visual concepts for the middle of the video.

Carnival Vlog 1

Here we go! Where we're at currently

Had a heart attack not finding files and wasted time before I realized I had them in hidden files.

So, when you have reflective surfaces like we have here, it takes a long time to compute. I don't know how the new computer will handle it compared to the last. But it took a long time to render...im talking weeks.

My immediate thoughts watching this are:

-I think the balloons should have some movement from the wind but I know zero abou...

Updated Planet Animation

I spent all today improving on the animation for the native art video. It's looking a lot better :) it wasn't finished rendering though. 

Tomorrow I either want to figure out how to increase the resolution on the earth's surface or pan the camera out because the wide shot looks really nice. But I don't want to spend a lot more time on it.

I added a planet atmosphere, improved the fall out of the composite texture, and the moon surface. I also changed the b...

Noctua clips and another ippc

Noctua shipped two sets of clips for their 140 mm ippc fans and I bought a second one. Gonna be swapping my computer fans and doing some stress tests asap.

3ds Max Proof of Purchase

DAMN I forgot the exchange rate. 

So I wanted to also get Maya but it'd be the same cost. This subscription will last a year. I also will need to purchase vray renderer for 360 video.

I'm very sorry but I've lost about two weeks due to extreme fatigue. Fortunately I have been able to work again the last two days and my blood work shows I need iron so as long as that's the cause, I think everything will be ok. I think I'm going to be very productive in a co...

Update/discussion

Hey again. So, had a few failed attempts at recording some videos and feeling pretty tired.

What I'd like to do starting now is move through the rough drafts and get them ready for public consumption, including the mold making video. This does take some time and effort so whatever else I'd like to do that's traditional may need to take a back seat for a bit.

And while I'm doing this we really need to discuss Halloween and see what is reasonable to complete.&nbs...

Indigenous Art Rough Draft

This contains spelling errors and I made a quick animation the last couple days that needs more work. I haven't added storm sounds yet and the end will have a layered part. But before I work on it further I'd like to get some advice and make sure it's appropriate.  

I believe the large face on the mask is actually a shaman and the top figure is the king and I'll include a note about this. 

Better Than Thy Poke is a Stroke

This is even MORE roughly edited. Just hanging out with the binaurals. I will probably cut out a lot from 9:30 ish to17:35 because you can't hear anything compared to the noise floor. Are the ears even? or is one louder? I have trouble hearing out of my right ear.

You know... I can also post these videos with one set of mics on. So only have the condenser mics if you're more into the whispering and then there would be no background noise and not so much di...

Face Shopping Rough Draft

This is more roughly edited than the last one. I'm not a fan of how I lit myself here. Harsh, close, side lighting increases texture and not much light is getting into my eyes. There's some mic knocking too that I may or may not be able to remove. And I'll have to revisit grading later.  I might add some pitched down inaudible whispering from my friend in the back. The end is supposed to become a bit intense with the shrunken head talking but haven't done it yet. &nbs...
