September Update. Bits POSER Update!

Hey guys,

FYI, there's a Lali's Bits POSER update in testing now. It should include the following:

• a figure to transfer hip joint zones to make Lali's Bits work for V4WM
• a newly UV'ed genital prop
• New textures and materials for this prop (no glowing pussies this time)
• updated Injection, should fix the following errors:
• squeezed nipples
• jaw not opening with mouth
• by default, Sexy chick Preset off (it was confusing too many people)
• by default Pussy Preset C on

Project E is temporarily postponed due to 'software trouble' (and the info page has been updated). It is getting sorted out now. In the meanwhile I'm back to comics.

And an apology for replying very slowly to emails. No excuse other than: busy, scatterbrained, and some of them ending up in the spambox!

If you have a pirated copy of the Bits, please don't email me, it depresses me. I am overloaded as it is, paying customers get right of way (and the only way)... I draw a line somewhere.

Update Comic & P.E.

Just a small proof of life from me. 

I'm very busy rigging a hybrid version of Project E to temporarily work with in my comics. It is almost fully functional. Even though it has its own head, I'm using V4's head for now until I've sorted out a few other details concerning morphs and textures. Only then can I even think about prepping her for the store. Despite the fact that rigging this girl is tremendously fucking hard (because of differing file format politics and anal-retentiveness of different corporate philosophies; and hopelessly tedious, incomplete and malfunctioning software) I am slowly, SLOWLY, becoming very pleased with the result. 

That's it for now! Here are some pics from the Disco Dragon set.

Updates / gossip / shoutouts August 2014

3DX Gossip May 2014

Hey peeps. Just a small lowdown from me, but this time a little different. I just wanna give a shoutout to some of my buddies in CGe/3DX! Below is more info about me and PE. But first...


New edition of the 2nd Lite available!!

If all is well, all the customers that bought Lali Lite 2 - Impulse should've gotten an email from Rotica about the new edition. I spent a day taking out some of the little errors and poke-throughs, and now the improved version of the lite is available to add to your collection!

Anyway, in other news...






________________________________________________________________

Render beast Epoch just released another of his dossiers, The Medjai Mistake, and this time its with our favourite archeologist / explorer Clara Ravens. His dossiers are more-or-less straight forward erotic moments compared to his more complexly structured comics. I checked it out and besides being spoiled by Epoch's typical high quality renders, Clara Ravens seems to me to be a bit more lively in this episode with some funny little moments throughout this dossier. I really liked this one! 

For those of you that don't know, Epoch is also the mastermind behind the Dynamic Comic Viewer (DCV), an innovative piece of software that adds to the whole comic experience.


HZR recently released a picture series / comic called 'The Crafty Maid'. Its a simple and delightful little story about a maid getting naughty, with some funny moments. HZR likes experimenting with poses and positions and he's getting better at it with every release. This guy's renders are probably some of the best out there, with the amount of painstaking effort he puts into the materials and lighting in his scenes, on parr with guys like Render8, Epoch and Blackadder. While his work might be clean and straight forward, the quality of his scenes should keep you captivated.





Gazukull, one of the most innovative artists in 3DX, is apparently busy with an interactive 3DX game. I was allowed to see some screenshots and it looks promising. Besides that he already has several items in the Renderotica and Affect3D stores. His comics are fun, delightful and a lot more story based than most other works out there, which I like. He's also known for his humoristic pirate comics called Dead Tide. He also made a game where you can play strip poker with one of his busty characters. Check him out.





Milady and good friend KristinF, master of erotic Vue, released her 6th 'Diary of a Party Girl', and I definitely recommend it. Like with previous episodes, this one takes you through detailed and semi-autobiographical erotic situations with her unique 'painter-portrait' style. However, the quality of her work has improved dramatically, with more detail, better posing and also more focus on a longer stories. For those of you that don't know her, she's been around the 3DX scene well over a decade, tirelessly supporting the community, and recently started making comics. Without sounding over-the-top, she's incredibly versatile, eager, and she's one of the most productive artists in the world, making several high quality renders per day almost. Also, she's open for commissions and trust me, this girl delivers.


Last I heard, Miro, the man behind the monumental Girlfriends4Ever animation package is busy with the DLCs for it. He runs the show over at Affect3D and is not one to sit still. With great curiosity I look forward to what this dude will come up with next.

Big bro Darkseed is working his butt off setting up either post-modern, or medieval fantasy style comics starring his busty take-no-prisoners heroine Rogue. For the most part, he stepped away from erotica and is bravely pursuing down the road of classical comics. His shit looks promising because his plentiful characters are the most well-conceived 3D figures I've seen in 3D figure art, somewhere between heavy metal, fantasy and Marvel characters. I really look forward to see them in a story. His current project already spans a few pages, and the scenes look flippin nice. 

My home-slice and Lali's biggest fan Apocalypse (or as Lali calls him: Appleclips) is also working his butt of training himself in the art of 3DX, and man that dude is on an insane learning curve. His talent is original and funny stories, with good dialog. Keep an eye on this fella, because he'll put all our asses to shame in the near future. Check his blog out (and tell him to start using Poser!!)




Websites

While I'm at it, I just wanna do a little shoutout to a website that is less known in 3DX. If Renderotica and Affect3D are world-famous discotheques, Art of Darkness (AoD) would be the little fun pub down the road to go to afterwards. AoD is a lesser known website / forum with a small dedicated community that regularly post fun, experimental and daring 3DX. I mostly hang out on the main image gallery. The site is sometimes quiet, but sometimes explodes to life with humoristic render challenges that last for months. The philosophy behind AoD is "to create an environment where adult art can be enjoyed with as few restrictions as possible". Although its not my thing, for those that are into it, they have an 'xtreme' section where you can find plenty of examples of the darker side of 3DX art (be warned, not for the faint-hearted). Despite that, a lot of the art there is actually fairly gentle and fun, with an entire thread dedicated to 'Clothed and Sexy' images that started back in 2012!




Hieronymous, the big man behind Art of Darkness just started a new website called Snuffbox, a website dedicated to very dark 3DX. Snuffbox is updated regularly with content. Apart from Articles and Blogs on various topics there are currently around 60 comicbooks, 20 games (written in Unity, AGS, and 001), 20 movies, and various one-off images up on the site. However, it's worth pointing out that it's very dark very niche subject matter, and won't be to most people's tastes.

Erogenesis news

Project E

This is definitely still on! Like you guys might have seen on DA, I recently redid the base mesh. I need to redo the arms and shins and part of the abdomen, but for the rest I think its a go. I learned a lot along the way. I hope PE will feature in the Disco Dragon. I'm going to keep a little more quiet about it, but trust me, this is getting done!









Lali Lite: Disco Dragon 

The comic is in full swing as well. I already made the entire disco location and just need to furnish the VIP section ;) It is quite a massive set, with an outside street & parking, two dancefloors, three bars, a VIP section, three hallways and a toilet block. It is a mish-mash of my own models and third party vendor stuff. It will star a LOAD of characters, also some you never seen before, but only a portion of them will take part in the fun. All I will tell you about the story is that it will be very VERY naughty!

 

New girls!

Some of you might have noticed my girls multiplying like bunnies. Some were intentional, others were accidental. Above, with the beer, is Roxanna. Below is Annabelle, the redhead and below that is Mariska. All three are bartenders at the Disco Dragon.

Tutorials

I do have a big tutorial in the oven but its continually being postponed because of my other priorities. But it is coming some time hopefully soon! It will be about Posing, expressions, character building, scene setup, lighting, materials, Poser basics, etc...







Lali's Bits Blues

I've seen a one or two people complaining about Lali's Bits here and there on the internet, that it has "TOO MANY DIALS" and impossible to work with etc. Thankfully most folks seem to be enjoying it. But if you're having trouble, or if your worried about buying it, what i can say is, like the manual and the product description warn you, yes it can be complex if you need it to be. Like I recently told someone on dA, Lali's Bits is like a real woman: 

the more you demand from her, the more dials you'll have to tweak. 

You must remember that you're simulating a live woman, made of flesh and fat that warps and bulges this way and that, especially around her private parts, and even more so when you wanna insert huge things in both her holes! That's going to take some patient work. Also, if you use FBMs that warp the genital area shape away from the original V4 shape, yeah things might get very complex. I usually just make a copy of the FBM with the morph editor and just 'restore' the hip area, like I did with GND.



So, if you're having trouble, please be patient, the Bits can sort it out for you, but the crazier your wishes, the more tweaking you'll need to do. Many artists seem to be happily playing around with it, so unless your demands are really crazy, you should be able to as well. Remember, this is a tool made by an artist, for artists. Please enjoy it!

Will Project E be as complex? Again, it depends on what you want. The regular body movements and stuff will be like any other V4, but yeah, between her legs will still be true to a lady. I need to make a massive disclaimer saying: warning, behaves like real woman: LOTS of dials, LOTS of options... anything is possible. Off course, if you don't need it, you won't need to inject all those options.


Just a reminder for new Bits customers: 

1. if the pussy glows, like with older Poser systems, go to the advanced material editor and remove the link to the alternate diffuse and connect to the main diffuse.
2. if you have strange nipples, for some reason one of the areola fixes was defaulted to 0.5. So set that to 0.
3. if the jaw doesn't open with the mouth, you can program the jaw to move along yourself using dependencies. Next to the dial of 'open mouth' there's a little arrow, there you can edit dependencies. You press start and it will record what you do. Don't move anything else, just the lowerjaw. Make sure the gadgets sees you set the lowerjaw at 0 Xrotation with he dial at 0, and then at 30 Xrotation with the dial at 1. Then press stop! Don't forget to press stop!!!!!!!
4. for the rest, read the manual! There's a lot you'll miss otherwise!

blogging next to a flatulent elephant

So I'm typing this on a tiny netbook, with a large battery, connected by mobile dongle, by solar powered light, smack in the middle of the bush, and next to me is an elephant chewing on some branch and farting through my curtains... and I am writing the scripts and inventories for the next Lali Lite, the 'disco dragon', and the next black desk comic: 'First Times'.

My life is weird.

Anyways, just thought you should know :) I'm in a wildlife park until thursday, the one I used to work in, showing my family around.

Cheers

Wow... thanks!!

Things seem to be going at lighting speed suddenly! If you sent an email, gimme time to reply!

I dunno, but watching the sales of the new Lali Lite come in still humbles me as much as it did when people bought my first comic in 2012. And even more so when I see old names re-appear from back in 2012! Guys, thank you so much for your unwavering support. All your money will go straight into the next comic... and off course a few beers to help me along :) I really hope you enjoy this comic, and many more to come!

Also thanks to all my artist buddies, friends and die hard fans, my colleagues over at Rotica and Art of Darkness. So sorry I was quiet these last few weeks, I get very one-track-minded when comic starts taking too long. I'll be back spamming the galleries with Lali and the girls soon!

Also thanks to the testers, Tex, Kristin, HZR, Hier, clips, DarkSeed, nakedfunn and a bunch of other dudes and dudettes! Thanks for all the valuable tips!

I'm going to try and put out two comics at once, the Disco Dragon and a Black Desk comic. Maybe with my new machines I might be able to pull it off before december! Off course hopefully they'll be graced by the shapes of PE.

cheers

Lali Lite 2 done!... and in the store!

>> We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn! <<

ahem... that's how I feel now! Feel with me!

And now its in the stores!!! Whoohoo!

... oh and what's this??

Erogenesis and deadlines don't mix

So you'd think I'd have learned my lesson with the first Lite huh? Nope. I must stop setting deadlines for myself, I actually work faster without them! I get embarrassed and go quiet. Bad ero! I slapped together a similar comic for myself and my girlfriend in two weeks straight after 'Gentleman's Club'. But then again I don't have as high standards for myself as I do your you guys! :D thus: no more deadlines, just creative outbursts!

This new Lite is crazy. I have no idea what you'll think, I have yet to show my testers. I am 10 renders away from finishing. I know for sure you won't be surprised why it took so long to render when you'll see the comic. Like I said elsewhere, you'll declare me insane :D I declared myself insane years ago. Its fun! 

But yeah, one might ask why I make so much of an effort when I could also just make a simple picture series. Weeeell... erogenesis don't do that... and besides, that's been done to death! But that private comic I made for myself and my girlfriend made me realize that I made my own ideal comic: the difference was the format and the flow. You'll see what I mean soon enough. This is how I would wanna see an erotic comic... this is what I would pay money for. A proper immersive erotic story, with very detailed action going. But this private comic was very small in format. The one for you is a LOT bigger!

...and unfortunately it does take time to render haha, on crappy African desktop office PCs... thus, like mentioned elsewhere, I've gotten utterly bored of waiting on renders and upgraded my processing power. I'm just waiting on the shipment now. The new machines will have better graphics cards on them too, which will make posing and such a more pleasurable experience (still annoyed how selecting a limb in Poser can be excruciating in a full scene!!). I'm also re-arranging stuff in my personal life, giving myself a bit more of a healthy sleeping pattern and proper food haha. Man I've been working nearly non-stop since 2012, with the odd holiday off course, but sometimes working for 48 hours straight. Madness! 

You might also have noticed I've been posting less and less nude and sex on Rotica, AoD and dA. Well, ever since I introduced Christina, I realized what the power of curiosity can do. Xtina hasn't shown much of herself, except for the odd boobflash, but Xtina is probably more popular than Lali!!! But it could also just be that Christina is mega cute or something...? I do also confess I don't wanna be seen as just SEX PORNO SEX PORNO FUCKING SEX but rather as an erotic artist, with all the associated subtleties... and yes eventually a proper fucking :D So instead of coming with the prize first, I'm going to let you wait for it, and slowly undress them, for you :D Off course the pressure will be on me to make it worth the wait, but hey, I accept the challenge hihi. 

But not too worry I'm not going completely chaste on you guys. I do have a very naughty surprise in store that I'll begin posting on my favourite 3DX site for free after this comic.

anyway BLABLABLA... onwards
