Hello!! I‘ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about how I want to approach things because, well, I‘m frustrated with my own progress on the phonodroid world and I think shifting around things to ease the pressure off of it will end up better for me and everyone else. It’s no secret that the public release of the av...

Hello! A lot has happened the last few days, would you believe. The biggest and most important thing of all that though, as mentioned on @smorbaa a few days ago, I got a new laptop for mobile work! After a lot of research I settled on one of the 2020 Macbook Pros in what was probably the most conflicted purchasing decision of...
2021-07-10 23:46:25 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I was made aware of a major issue with the titanium droid preventing them from importing correctly into unity this morning. I have just released a fix and replaced the link in the titanium release post with the new version! Thank you!

They're here!! They are running on the same back end as the base model, version 1.11 (with the weight paint hotfix of course).
They are more than just a texture job though, they have some custom modeling done to them as well adding vents on the sides and some more details on the inside since the front chest panel is tra...

They've underwent some changes since their debut in the trailer! I wanted to spice up their looks a bit and make them easier for people to make texture edits of, and they now feature transparent plastic sections and vents on the side of their waist!
Not sure what time I'll be able to release everything tomorrow I'm afra...
2021-07-03 06:50:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This is a little look behind the scenes at a little project I threw together a few days ago.

2021-07-01 21:06:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello! just a quick note that i put a hotfix out for the 1.11 version of the Phonodroid model to fix the broken weight painting on the chest of the model! You can get it here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgnUCiF-grpts4REGAj04qAImP2FOA?e=8s...

2021-06-22 22:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostHello!! Just a quick post to mention I'm gonna have to delay the release of the update and alt parts to Tuesday because of unexpected circumstances making it harder to get as much done on saturday as I originally planned; My original hope was to get the trailer done so I could get a teaser for it out on sunday before the mond...

The new alternative record mechanism is nearing completion! I've been calling it the fan blade for some reason. It's a linear tracking record mechanism that will be released with the alternate head and ears in a pack early next month! BTW i have noticed the awkward texture on the inside of the record padding when its op...

Hello! This was a very sudden project for me I wanted to take a day on the side to do. This is the result! I took inspiration from many sources, from mid-late 1990's 3d studio logos to I Spy books! Also, the 2005 movie Robots. I cannot comment on the quality of that movie really ( I haven't seen it since it came out when I wa...

So far heres the work ive done on the alternate head shape, as well as a quick concept i drew up for what i want to do for the alternative record tray;
My goal with these is to make them as easy to change out as possible. They should all be on the same armature and shape keys so ideally people will be able to just throw...
2021-05-19 20:12:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello! You may have noticed there haven’t been a lot updates about the world recently, and there a few reasons for that, so I figured I may as well put out a proper announcement about it all.
The world is still very much in progress, but between fixing some things up on the Phonodroid model and May ending up being a l...

Hello! Another beta release (and hopefully the last one;; )
There is a lot to play around with this time. Even if you don't have a full body tracking setup there's some neat things to check out!
Hello! This is a beta release designed for people with full body tracking setups to test out as I am unable to test it out myself It also comes with poiyomi 7 as I'm in the process of porting the materials over to that.
Known issues:
-Custom animations that transform bones are broken (record tray, battery door, et...

Its fascinating how much stiffer the movement looks without the camera rotating around it. The animation was made with that limited, constantly...

I wanted to have gesture based emoting on the model, but i didn't it to be easy to accidentally trigger it when you dont want to, so I made a system where it treats left hand gestures as gates to allow the right hand to make different emotes! For example, putting the left hand and right hand both in a fist will make them give...
