Important Update (PLEASE READ!)
2 years ago
Hi Everyone,
I realize for a while now that I have been pretty inactive, especially seeing as my last post on Smutbase was over three months ago. As for why I’ve been so inactive, it’s been for a number of reasons.
Firstly, since finishing a majority of the rigs for WarfareMachine’s models, I have been pretty all over the place in terms of figuring out what to release next. I have been working on various projects since then, but I had to cancel many of them. This has been due to a variety of reasons from being unable to fix issues with some models to starting ports only to find out the model owner doesn’t want ports of them posted. For example, my most recent plan was to port all of Corvidius’s models (hence why the Falco model is my most recent post), but I ran into issues with a lot of the eye UVs and put them on hold until I could figure it out how to fix it (this is a common issue with porting SFM models unfortunately).
Second, a big obstacle for me right now is that I now have a roommate (as in someone I share an actual bedroom with). Due to this situation, I have been struggling to find time to work on my model porting due to the lack of privacy I currently have. I work with a desktop computer and have no other spaces to move it so that my screen can be out of sight from my roommate. I don’t know about you guys, but I personally just don’t feel comfortable working on NSFW stuff when someone else is watching. I have been thinking of ways to figure out what to do, but have not had any luck yet. If anyone has suggestions on how to attack this issue, please let me know.
On another note, a different issue I have come across is that the newest version of Blender does not meet the requirements of my computer. I own a Mac that was made around 2013 (I believe). I have actually run into this issue before with a previous update, though that time I was able to bypass the issue by hacking my computer with a newer OS. This time, the issue is due to the graphics of my computer, so I have no other option but to purchase a new computer if I want to use the latest version of Blender. Apple (being the greedy business company that they are) lists the latest iMac at $1299. Like most people, I don’t have that kind of money. Due to this issue, I am planning on setting up a financial system to help me get the money for a new computer (don’t try to convince me to get a PC, I’ve had them before, they suck). I don’t want to start a GoFundMe because I want you guys to actually get something back for donating. I’m working on building a Patreon, but still haven’t figured out the tiers yet. I would love to hear some suggestions if anyone has any.
That’s about all I have in terms of updates. I hope everyone’s been doing okay and be sure to reach out to me if you have any suggestions on the things I mentioned above.
If you need to contact me, feel free to reach out via my FA account or my Discord.
