Project E... and now what?



For your information, all my girls are from now on 'Project E', not V4. I promise I will hold a ceremony for V4 once the time is right.





















Project E?

'Project E' (PE) is an entirely new 'Poser Figure', with a new mesh, that can handle V4 content. Poser is software owned and sold by 'Smith Micro'. V4 is 'Victoria 4', a figure developed many years ago by DAZ and has been the flagship of the 3DX scene for almost a decade. Read here wat 3DX is all about. What 'E' stands for will be revealed at a later date (and its not 'erogenesis'). I developed PE this year (2014) for my comics. You will see a lot of 'Lali' associated with PE in renders, but Lali's character (and the other characters) has nothing to do with PE except that I use her to develop the figure's general morphs, her Joint Controlled Morphs (JCMs) and her Weight Mapping (WM). PE is a base figure; Lali and her friends are characters

Here is more info on PE.



Why Project E?

We have a load of figures to choose from these days, but none of them appeal to me. For my comics I need anatomically correct ladies, and not just in the genital department. I'm talking typical woman, fat rolls, folds, subcutaneous fat, dangling stuff, shearing flesh etc etc... None of the existing figures can deliver that without some kind of addon, plugin, injection or adjustment that doesn't even guarantee anything. Besides, they usually don't even have the polycount for it, or the commercial freedom to extend their talents to the software I use. Project E fills all those gaps... well for me at least :D








Now what?


Patience! Making a 3D figure for yourself is fun, but for the market it is a totally different ballgame! Right now she has V4's joint centers and you-know-who will have a lot of fun suing my ass back to the Triassic period if I just release her like that. So for her to have any kind of value for you, we'll need to think of some serious tricks, and I'll need to get some big fish on board (which might actually be feasible!). Besides that, there is a LOT that still needs to happen before I can release her. Currently she's not fit for the market (trust me!). The software I'm using needs a serious update before I can make JCMs that are market-worthy. I can hack it, but customer service will be red-hot like she is now.










So?

Suffer! Like I did making the damn wench! Hihi :D Look, I'll try get it all arranged, but you won't believe what goes into making a figure like this. Ugh. We need to wait until shit gets sorted out on the development side (and I've been hearing very encouraging things from that side!). But the wait is certainly worth it. Even with the version I have now, things are fucking awesome!

That's it for now guys!
Peace!

WTF? - "Shirtgate"

Comet probe scientist embroiled sexism row shirt featuring scantily clad women



You can land your probe on us, Matt Taylor!
PS: thank you for your amazing contribution to science!

Seriously. What the entire fuck is up with some of these guys? Don't they have anything better to moan about? 

While I was working on project E (which is basically an altar of womanhood), I spent the last few days with my jaw on the floor because they just landed a tiny-ass probe on a COMET MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY after 10 years of waiting... but now they're moaning about half-nekkid women on a shirt of a guy that helped put the probe there!!! Seriously? Aaaahhh!!! The stupidity! How is that important? How is that at all insulting? Don't they have eyes? Go to the bookstore, just any bookstore, and open a women's magazine: FULL of half naked women in designer crap!!! Anorexic women even!! And that is ok? That makes women feel welcome?

Granted, it is a butt ugly shirt (lol), and its might not have been the best choice for this occasion, but jeez, who gives a damn what you wear when you have just landed a probe on a rock the size of Madrid 300 MILLION miles away? Did anyone notice the Cannibal Corpse tshirt he was wearing when he got a tattoo of the Rosetta Project? What, is he a cannibal now? Guys, for everything he and his colleagues have done for science, they can wear ANY kind of t-shirt they want!!!  Hell, he deserves to have half naked super sexy women AND men hanging off his arms as he stands there talking about the Rosetta project (and I know a few respectable self-made ladies that would gladly make his day like that). I'd actually happily wear that shirt to a scientific seminar (and I've done scientific seminars thank you very much). Its actually a complement to women, I mean they're gun-toting women, showing off their gorgeous bodies like so many women happily do! How women-empowering can you get? 

Man, what a waste of media. And the poor bastard even apologized for it, in tears, because it was suppose d to be the best day of his life. If there is anyone that needs to apologize it is those idiot moral crusaders that started this all. Seriously, I hope those people shut the fuck up and get a probe landed twice upside their ass, with harpoons! Let the poor dude get on with making this giant leap for mankind that those idiots are unfortunately also a part of. 

And thank you Tim Stanley from the Telegraph for putting things straight!

This one is even better by Milo Yiannopoulos.

Project E prototype - and I have my life back!

Pff, after weeks and weeks of struggling with Project E I finally managed to find a workaround to my problems. It was my old method I used with Lali's Bits and even though it takes longer, it works wonders. The software update wasn't what I hoped for so I had two choices: stop and wait until the software gets sorted out, or find a workaround and carry on. I almost gave up but I chose to barge on with my old methods because I NEED PROJECT E!!!! So from now on, Lali will be PE! She did show up in renders every now and then as a different character, but her JCMs were all fucked up. Now, its been sorted and we're in business!!!! Still much refining to be done, but at least the foundations have been set. I can make comics again!

Below you can see the girl in action! 

PS: the bits WM update was delayed because of this. Getting on that now! Sorry
