I have had a few people ask about getting a 3D model for Ariane, so here's how to do it. Shopping List: Daz Studio (I use Poser, but Daz Studio is free and very popular right now because it is free) Victoria 4.2 Base Victoria 4.2 Morphs ++ MRL Ariana (the one that looks like …
After finishing the Renpy version of Date Ariane back in July 2015, I have been tinkering with the idea of what would happen if Ariane (of Date Ariane fame) and Rachel (of Something's In The Air fame) were to meet. I made both games for my own entertainment, and I am glad they have been …

As I reported a few months ago, the 3D graphics community consisted of a friendly rivalry between Poser users and DAZ Studio users, which did not really matter that much until the newest DAZ 3D released content dubbed Genesis 3 was incompatible with Poser and could only be used on DAZ Studio software. In the …

As someone who does a lot of work in Poser for my games and other projects, that means I am involved in the 3D Rendering community, which I have written about before. About 3 years ago the community started getting bigger thanks to Daz3D releasing Daz Studio for free. Until then, the community primarily consisted …
I came up with a complicated plan for the Renpy version of Date Ariane, too complicated -- like another multi-year project complicated. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and decide what is most important. While many of the ideas I came up with are cool, there are only really two things that …
One of my post Something's In The Air projects was to update my web page. After doing Date Ariane, I came up with this idea of showing what Ariane is doing every moment of every day and creating a desktop theme that changes with the time of day. My idea got really elaborate for a …
I did a close beta test with a couple of people I know. They both indicated (and the truth is I agree) that the Bonnie the Bartender story was the weakest. Since none of you have seen the game, you don't know what I am talking about. Basically, she is a bartender you pick up …
As I have said many times before, most of my artwork is done in Poser. In fact it is the very latest version: Poser Pro 2012. Now as anyone who does 3D rendering knows, the renders rarely come out perfect. In order to make them look better, you have to use a photo processing program, …
A few months into this project, I upgraded from Poser 7 to Poser 9. One of the new features of Poser 9 was a new skin rendering model called Subsurface Scattering, or SSS. It is a form of Ambient Occlusion. If you don't understand this stuff, well neither do I. All I know for sure …
I thought I'd post about a common problem in 3D art, and what I have done to solve it. It is called the "crowd problem" and has been a difficulty with all 3D animation. The first 3D animated movie Toy Story solved it by never having any crowd scenes. AntZ, the second 3D animated movie …
