Catwoman WIP

It's about one year since I started modeling, so I thought I'd post a little progress update.   I'm currently working on some Catwoman gear. I modeled her catsuit spontaneously last week (MK I), then did some boots & gloves which were much higher quality than the catsuit, so I decided to make a new catsuit.   I may release this if there's any demand for it. I've given up on weight sliders though; they're completely pointless and annoying. I now work around a custom UUNP preset based on

Shell Texturing

I learned a nice little technique today called shell texturing. AFAIK, it's an old method of creating grass and fur, but it can be used for other things as well.   The basic concept is to texture a flat plane with dots, and then repeatedly duplicate that plane on top of itself. The dots piled on top of each other appear to merge into long strands.   I've seen a few Japanese modders using this technique. From Software also used it to give Crossbreed Priscilla in Dark Souls her fluffy appearan

Wet Titties

Haven't updated this in a while again as I switched from UNPB to one of Guk's UUNP presets that I'm fairly certain noone else uses.   I did attempt to make some jewellery, without much success. Since then, I've improved at texturing, and learned how to make objects shimmer, so might try something again soon.   Jan is still here of course . I gave her a make-over; she had some stretched faces inside of her mouth which were repaired. I also slimmed her cheeks down, and gave her a sweet tan.

Grossly Incandescent Boots

I figured out how to make environment maps & cubemaps today. They're really great if you want a nice finish on your item:     And, you can also use them to blind your enemies:     On another note, I'm hoping to start modeling jewellery & gems. FavoredSoul is one of my favourite modders, and I would love to make some earrings or necklaces in the same style as these, so expect to see some of that coming soon.

Entry #ThighBoots [rel]

I scrapped these boots a while ago as I wasn't happy with how they turned out, but I went back to them yesterday and made some edits, and I think they're pretty good now, so I'm sharing them.   I put them in Radiant Raiment. They're a special delivery maybe? You can just take 'em I guess... It would be so much cooler if you could add stuff to vendors. Just saying.   You need NiOverride (comes with RaceMenu) for the high-heel effect to work. (Oh, and of course, they're fit to UNPB.)   http

Entry #Return

Hello I'm back again.   Haven't updated in aaages... I got a real job and was focusing on earning some cash, but then I lost my job, so now I have nothing to do again.   I carried on practicing modeling every day. My poly-counts are coming down and workflow is much cleaner... I'm making a big effort to get better at texturing as well.   The latex thing I was working on: I'll be redoing the top from scratch as it was practically impossible to convert to 0 weight due to some silly mistakes

Latex cont.

I've decided to make an outfit from the leggings I posted screenshots of in my last entry, adding a bustier top. I will probably include the boots in the release, as the leggings were made to fit them.   I would also like to make my own jacket, but the outfit is already super high-poly, so not too sure yet.   Pics:

Latex/Leather/Mashups

Dumping some latex & leather screens today. I've been playing around with meshes and creating some new ones, but nothing major. I think I have the hang of texture baking at last.   Also installed some awesome appearance mods, namely Seductive Lips HD and WellGram WarPaints (for realistic make-up), and some new skin textures.   I'd also like to thank the people who read & support my blog. I'm really enjoying my foray into 3D art and having this creative outlet, and getting cool commen

Entry #BioBoots&Stuff [rel]

Releasing my BioBoots today. Here's the DL link:   http://www.mediafire.com/download/v1yvi3394qogbn6/%5BSA%5DBioBoots.rar   -They're fit to UNPB -You can get them via the console ("help Bio" for the code) -You need NiOverride for the heels to work -The glow strength depends on your ENB (pics using Grim Winter & HRK)   Pics:     Here are some shots of Jan sunbathing (woooo) on Aibellia Island.     And here are some OTK boots I'm currently working on:

Entry #GlowMaps&Screenshots

I have quite a few pictures to share today. Trying to clean out the screenshots folder; my computer slows to a crawl just from opening it.   Jan (trying some valkyrie style):     NSFW:     Random old pics:     Aaaand finally... glow maps!

Entry #BootsB [rel]

I'm releasing some more boots today. I figured out how to work NIOverride (it's included with RaceMenu 2.0), so these ones have a proper high-heel effect.   They are fit to UNPB, but they work with other UNP/7B bodies too. You can get them via the console ("help sunbootsB" for the code), or use AddItemMenu.   The main texture is uncompressed, so it's HQ but quite large. I tried to compress it and it turned green... Maybe I used the wrong DXT? All these abbreviations make my head spin.   [

Entry #boots [rel]

Here's the first release in my boots series.   I made two colours of this pair: red and pure black. They are fit to UNPB.   You can get them via the console ("help SunBootsA" to find the code), or just use AddItemMenu.   I packed this one as a .bsa. It's sooooo much easier than dealing with loose files.   ...Enjoy!   [Download]   Pics:     ENB off:

Entry #boots

Finished a couple more pairs of boots. The last ones are my favourite so far; I really like making folds & creases. I'm trying to pick up texture baking, which creates the illusion of folds via the normal map, but I don't really understand how to do it (anyone know if it's even possible in 2.49b?).   Pics:     And a few kinky Jan shots.

Entry #whatever

I found an awesome site with 360-degree views of all kinds of boots.   Have begun modeling boots.   They aren't lore-friendly at all, but I boots.   I've done two pairs so far. Check 'em out:

Entry #18 [rel]

This is the release of the Bone Collector gear. It's just a little experiment I did with editing & piecing together various existing meshes.   I decided to use slot 56 since it's more of an accessory than anything. You can combine it with other items for some cool outfits (pic 1). It is fit to UNPB, but works decently with CBBE (pic 2), as long as your morphs aren't too extreme.   You can find it hidden under a tree in the Falkreath graveyard (pic 3). I was going to put it in my chest, b

Entry #17

Just wanted to post an update to say that I'm still here. I haven't made any new entries recently because I've been spending so much time learning new things.   I played Dark Souls for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was blown away by the art. I pulled some of the models from the game to study (pic 6), and even managed to get one into Skyrim.   In the next blog entry I hope to release the "Bone Collector" outfit (pics 3, 4, 5). I'm much better with UV mapping now, and I got the new

Entry #16

A few people wrote that the images in my previous entries were dead. Apparently this is because the assbutts at Imgur have blocked Loverslab. You can read about it here:   http://www.loverslab.com/topic/56286-broken-images-everywhere/?p=1429545   I've switched over to Imgbox for now. I would start my own blog if I had any HTML skills and some money.   I have done a little more work on the outfit I posted about last time. I decided to separate the belt, but am still unsure on which texture

Entry #15

Putting the Bone Collector outfit on hold for now. It is ready to release as is, but I'm not entirely happy with the UV maps.   Yesterday I started on a new Indiana Jones-esque outfit which the pictures below are of. I managed to make it somewhat lore-friendly this time. Some parts are untextured; I'm still kind of undecided on the colour scheme. (The hat is from the Gunslinger outfit.)   Also using a new ENB. It's a slightly tweaked version of newENB by sale0903. It's very performance-frien

Going to try modelling some items using parts of Bethesda's meshes next. Hopefully I can learn more from them.

Entry #13 [rel]

Been a little while since I made a post. I had some issues with Blender (mostly due to lack of practice), and then got frustrated and went on a Twilight Zone binge, but I'm back now. I finished the outfit I last posted about, and also made another from the futuristic stuff I was working on.   With the Persephone dress included, there are three outfits overall. I put them all in a chest outside of Radiant Raiment. I will probably put other outfits I make in there too.   Body used is UNPB Clea

Entry #12

Haven't been on much lately; I got hooked on Civ 4 again and can't tear myself away.   I'm attempting to make some more fantasy-medieval-style outfits, but they always end up looking modern. I need some ideas thrown out.   I have a WIP going on that's almost ready. I'll also drop the belted Persephone dress with the next release.

Entry #11 [rel]

Alright, so the dress I made is done. I decided to release it by itself.   You can buy it from Radiant Raiment, or add it with the console. Its name is "Persephone Dress". The body type is UNPB Cleavage.   Enjoy!   mega.nz/#!DYNwxITT!hj7He3pPtEtN3FJsy7JDouzl3yYp48mFIpoQuJS5VUo   Screens:

Entry #10

Just a quick update to say that the "Persephone" dress (yeah, that's its name ) is nearly done.         Just needs some texture/colour work, and fitting to 0 weight, as Bryling found out
