Like I said on the last post I feel pretty strange about this, a bit scared about what will come next now that what occupied my life for these last 3 years is "gone"...
But knowing myself I'm pretty sure it will not stay this way for long and I'll soon find myself shoulder deed in a new project that will take all my attention ๐คฃ๐.
How was it made?
This movie was almost entirely made with Blender and edited with DaVinci Resolve.
- Photoshop at the beginning and Krita more recently for some texture/material related work.
- Shutter Encoder for quick and easy video editing/conversion (This is a seemingly little known Open source soft but it's amazing, go check it and support it if you like it ^^).
- Wan (free and open source AI) + DaVinci Resolve to make the movements you see on DevioussSama's 2D introduction drawings (with her consent of course).
- Image Glass for quick and easy image conversion/resizing/browser (another amazing open source tool).
- OpenOffice and Notepad++ for the script and other text related matters.
I don't know what tools the other people like DevioussSama for the 2D intro and the audio people used.
I would like to take the opportunity of this post to give you an idea of the resources needed to achieve this:
- This movie was my full time job for almost 3 years.
- The amount of money needed to pay every person who worked on the movie (except me) was about 10.000โฌ. That means about 15.000$ of support money (because mainly of conversion + taxes + platform commissions).
- This doesn't count the amount of money needed for some software, plugins, hardware, electricity...
All this to say, this whole thing would never have been possible without the generous donations of every single person who supported me these past few years. I can't believe we achieved this, thank you SOOOOOO much! And thanks as well to all the people who didn't donated but liked, shared, made kind and encouraging comments etc...!
One of the reason I started to make porn was because I wanted to "pay back" the NSFW community and all the amazing porn I enjoy almost every day, but I never would have thought it could lead to such a huge thing XD and it's a lot thanks to this amazing community ๐.
What's next?
I should take a break, but I don't know if my brain will let me do that ๐ (I'm ok, don't worry ^^).
I may take a long proper break at some point but anyway.
I'm not sure I'll keep my weekly posting now that MC is over.
What is sure, for now, is that I want to continue to do exactly what I've been doing since 2021 (with TRD and more recently with KKP) :
- Produce whatever the hell makes me horny, share it for free to everyone, repeat as long as I receive enough support ^^.
But I think (and hope XD) I won't get back into a big project soon. I want to give room to some of the many little ideas I have in mind and therefor focus on smaller projects, at least for now ^^.
I wrote this to help you understand what drives me and therefor better understand/anticipate what could come next :
- One of the many things that keeps me motivated is curiosity and experimentation. I love to explore things I've never tried before, never seen or not in a satisfying way to me, things that can help me to explore some of my kinks or show them in a new light.
That led to all the rope work/capture in almost all my movies, the French kiss between Lara and Tifa, the magic strap-on for Tifa, the tape bondage and the hanging in Mei's invasion, the Goo in TA and MC, the breast physics in MC, the tentacle in the bath in TA, the violence in Lara's Hell...
- Another motivator is the pleasure to build my universe and share it through the narrative part of my stories.
- Of course all the nice comments and encouragements are also a big source of motivation so thanks a lot for all this ๐.
ANYWAY!!! (I talk too much ๐คฃ๐)
I hope you will enjoy this video and that it will bring some positivity in your life, this is all I wish ^^.
Take care ๐๐๐ซถ๐
Laraโs special Halloween Show
The time has come!
If I remember correctly, this is my first ever dedicated Halloween post/media ๐ค.
(Always wanted, never had time ๐ but this year I found some time with the final phases of Mei's Corruption being a lot of render time, I could find some mental load to affect to this)
Lara Croft 3D model by @wildeerstudio
Sound Design and Music by Mathieu Hellot
Lara Croftโs voice by Patapon
ANYWAY
Let's answer the question right away because this is also and most importantly my first official prod including AI tools ๐ฑ!
(Yeah I know this is fitting with Halloween because it's a scary subject ๐)
I've posted some WIPs of this project for supporters (https://t.co/rZQ9xAxAVQ) including the first version I tested as a proof of concept and a compilation of some of the sections I didn't use in the final puzzling but that I find cool.
TLDR : I love playing with this, see you next time ๐.
If you have been following me long enough, you may recognize the first image of the video because it was indeed the first image of a full 3D video I crafted back in the days ๐(https://t.co/D2Qk8imnaq). But you may also know that I've been playing with AI tools since at least 2023 and I find this kind of tech absolutely amazing. I've tried a few things and failed a lot but now I feel like the time has come to successfully integrate some of these tools in my workflow and therefore, here is the first example that I'm confident enough to call a success ๐.
Of course it's not perfect and I'm not perfectly satisfied with everything but I never am and I'm always learning + the tools apparently can't stop to get better and better every 2 months ๐คฉ.
I want to share with you how using these tools make me feel (production wise)
As a 3D animator I feel like a puppeteer, precisely pulling every string of my puppet to make exactly what I want. I have a lot of detailed control but it takes a lot of time.
With AI Tools I feel more like an art or movie director, trying to guide actors in the direction I want and iterating with several takes until I have the "good one".
Both have their pros and cons (Mostly control and speed of prod imo) so I'm looking for ways to have the best of each world ๐.
Also for example a specific camera movement is a lot easier to do in 3D but animating 6 hands groping and playing realistically with boobies and flesh is a nightmare ๐.
(And to quote Kurzgesagt : I want to use AI like the align tool in Adobe Illustrator.)
How was it made exactly?
Of course this is overly simplified but I may explain more in depth if some people are interested but to summarize the process :
- Make an image in Blender.
- (Optional) Generate a 3/8 sec video with Wan2.2 (I2V) and take the last image of the video.
- Make an image in Blender or Edit the previous one with Qwen/Photoshop/Blender(Control-Nets).
- Generate a 3/8 sec video with Wan2.2 (FLF2V with the last frame you just edited)
- Repeat
- Puzzle everything in DaVinci Resolve to make it as seamless as possible.
- Upscale/Upframe with Wan2.2/DaVinci Resolve
- Edit/Mask/FX/patchwork in Blender/DaVinci Resolve to improve/refine/hide/modify the things hard to manage otherwise.
On that matter I want to give a big thanks and shout-out to IchibanFutsuJin (https://t.co/kv6z2JpFO6) we share a lot of helpful technical knowledge with each other and he does some of the most creative and amazing uses of these tools I've seen so far ๐. Definitely go check his work!
In any case I hope you appreciated this little comeback of Lara Croft and I wish you a great Halloween ^^!
Take care ๐๐
