You may have noticed an overall "change in vibe" here. I arrived at a much better post-processing stack for the lighting in this bedroom scene, so I'm going back and applied it to the other pages taking place in Isaac's bedroom. Previously, it was too saturated, and given we're about to spend a lot of time in here (much to Wyatt's chagrin), I wanted something better.

[WIP] Large Project Announcement

Note: the work-in-progress files are posted as attachments because 18+ creators can't post videos on Patreon yet. 🙃

This is a viewport render of part of a minute-long animation I've been working on to expand my recent Tabletop image render.

What you're seeing is in Solid Mode within Blender for the fastest possible animation pass. I use viewport renders like this to visualize what needs to be tweaked at full FPS.

The models in Solid Mode get a splash of lovely red nail polish and heavy mascara by default...

[Raw] Tabletop

This is the Tabletop scene without post-processing. The textures aren't in a place where I'd be comfortable to commit to 24fps. The characters might look a fair bit different when that time comes, but I'm super excited to animate this scenario out!

Tabletop

This render came so close to getting cut altogether due to the way the textures came out, but after a lot of post- work, here we are.

I've been really itching to animate this scenario, so this scene was kind of the groundwork for that. The giant's texture was from model released right when Genesis 9 came out, so I think I'll probably choose something else, finagle the textures a bit more before I commit to a full-blown animation.

EDIT: Post-processing for this scene was reworked to remove some saturation.

I promise this isn't AI–these renders have taken allll day to refine thanks to poke-through on Wyatt's scalp hair!–, but my main beef with this was with Isaac's hand. It looked like a fingernail was appearing where it shouldn't have, and sure enough, I had two "fist" morphs going at once causing the fingers to loop around twice! 😬

Isaac's head wasn't positioned quite right, making his smirk look a little strange, and he def doesn't have eyebrows. Not sure where they went. 🤷‍♂️

Overall, the image just wasn't captu...

Techdeck'd Stills, Full Resolution - 07/25

These are full-resolution comps of some of my best renders from Techdeck'd this month.

Isaac unwittingly clunks Wyatt as he closes the door behind him, and tosses him on the bed. What does Isaac have planned?

Smuggled

"No way! This wasn't the plan!"

"I don't know what else to do with you. I left the growth serum in the car, and my shorts don't have pockets."

"You're not putting me in there!"

"You wanted to see the fancy gym, right? You can peek over my waistband."

"I wanted to work out in the fancy gym. I'm not riding around in your pants with your cock!"

"Shh. Someone's coming."

[WIP] Smuggle

This is only a few samples into the first render, but lots of effort went into the underwear shaping here, so I'm hoping to get a few interesting shots out of this scenario.

Going to hone the material on the fabric for some subsurface–that might illuminate the giant's cock a bit more.

What would you like to see in additional shots?

Bite-Sized

My comic book tier hasn't been getting a lot of love this month because of some rendering difficulties, so I wanted to let them in on some of the scenario renders I've put out this month with this little two-page spread.

This was probably my favorite project in a long time. It happened so organically. The short comic also sort of helps to convey where my head is at for these scenario renders so I think I'll try to do this more in the future, if you guys like it.

Hope you enjoy!

Things have been slower for Techdeck'd lately because I wanted to build an endearing scene for Isaac's room with lots to look at, but doing so has brought about some technical challenges. I wanted the room to say a lot about Isaac's personality while also making it a living nightmare for Wyatt.

The room's fairly sparse, but it's been a balancing act between visually appealing scene complexity and my GeForce 4060's ability to render the scene. The 4060's been running out of VRAM and crashing out (same) very late (2000+ samples) into th...

Too much was not rectifiable in post for this one: Isaac's photos on the bulletin board and the thumbtacks didn't make it into the corkboard, I didn't like the metallic texture on the end of the take-out chopstick–it looked like a pencil eraser–, and Isaac's tank wasn't form-fitting enough.

My RTX 4060 is really struggling with this scene, as well. I still have some scene optimization experiments to run on the 4060 for future renders, but I've been relegated to slow CPU renders on Mac for Isaac's bedroom–the Mac can load all the...

Attention 2

"If I slide in here, he'll bring it up to his face and he'll be sure to see me."

This is some of my proudest work with Blender so far, so I will probably be collaging this into a comic book page as a short for my webcomic members also. It won't count toward webcomic pages, because committing to this as a series just sort of happened organically.

This almost wraps up scenario renders for the month, so I'll be working on scene building for Techdeck'd for the next week or so. Is there anything you'd lik...

"Logan, we're over here! The bobcat hit something that was buried and–"

Grunt. "I don't think it's picking up your voice, man. I can't keep this up for much longer!"

This pair will be part of a series of renders about tiny men using common objects to try to get a giant's attention.

[WIP] New Blender Workflow

I'm working on a new workflow and rendering with Cycles in Blender instead of Daz. This will alleviate a rendering bottleneck with one of my machines, and create more realistic environments.

This render uses a paid add-on called Global Skin for the skin textures. Unfortunately, Global Skin doesn't support genitals. So whenever I transfer a character from Daz, I will need to hand paint the skin on the naughty bits, which will be a lot of work.

I'm going to try a re-render of this scene with the Daz/Diffeomorphic skin with a few m...

Enlightenment / Pride Shrink

In the nick o' time for the end of Pride Month, I've put the finishing touches on this Pride-themed animation. And by Pride-themed, it pretty much just has rainbow colors in it. I had some fun with sound design, too.

Overall, I think this was a good learning experience and I would like to continue with more organic size-difference scenes. This is by no means a fully-polished project, but it is something I'm happy to just move on from in order to tr...

[Cut Content] Various projects

The 3rd "Unaware" image ended up being too overexposed to use. Too much detail was lost in the sole of the shoe and the foreground rug.

In the second, I noticed too late that I accidentally had the floor hidden in render.

I set-and-forgot these frames to render during a shift and came back to find Isaac's tank top all janky. I had done a lot of asset transfers to my other machine to start rendering with two machines at once, and had chosen the wrong asset for the tank top. I re-rendered these frames so that the tank top has continuity from the previous issue, and it just looks better.

Clothes in Daz are painful to work with. Let's get them off of Wyatt as soon as we can, yeah?
