Hey hey studio family! Ready for your day to get a bit better? Today I am pleased to announce my animated pose interpolation project; Galatea. I have always stated that my mission here is to make your time in studio easier and more pleasurable.. well the Galatea plugin will surely accomplish the latter.
Galatea
Named after the greek maiden born of stone, the Galatea (gal-uh-tee-ah) plugin will breath life into your honey by organically animating her whenever she switches between poses. The system is powered by a series of per-node custom accelleration curves and overshoot/recovery mechanisms. Together, they will make your honey's movements look as realistic and as graceful as possible without the intervention of any actual AI or animation software.
Sure, there will be poses that do not chain realistically into eachother, but since you have seen the previews above, I trust that I do not need to convince you of what you already know... that the studio will never be the same!
Oh, did I mention that Galatea will be available for HS1, HS2, KK & KKS? Thats right! Our KK and HS1 friends will not be left out!
Galatea will debut on the 10th, in place of the usual tenth of month pose pack to our 💖Supporter💖 tier patrons and above and will go public May 10th.
Apologies for the lack of pose pack this turn, but I (and my AI) have been focused on Galatea and on finding a path to develop plugins for all four games in parallel (and we are almost there). I decided that this would have far greater impact than a pose pack. I hope you will agree.
Mune Restoration
Another plugin that I released recently and have not reviewed with you is "Mune Restoration"
This is a function native to HS1, which has unfortunately been lost to the ether for over a decade. What HS1 had were posable Mune00 bones that allow true breast posing. What we got in HS2 and KK were sad immitations that were limited to prodding and twisting. Mune restoration brings this legacy feature to HS2 and KK, allowing true posing of the breast for laying poses, wall-press poses etc. The mune00 data will save with FK poses, so they will be working their way into my poses where appropriate.
Mune Restoration is currently in early access and will be come public early March. Now let us move on to Mods and mod previews!
Mod Previews
Alright time for clothing mods! I'm really happy that so many of you have enjoyed the Midnight Peony and Techbunny releases thank you for all your kind words and encouragement lol. Here is whats on my desk at the moment. I am working on another high heel and a much larger project in parallel:
"Strappy Heel 4" is nearing the texturing phase and "Royal Guardian" is just about ready for mesh work. I have confirmed concepts for the cuirass, arms and boots, though I'm not sure that I will be able to commit enough time to it to complete all three parts and still stick to my 3 mods a month promise.
Alright lets now go over some recently released mods!
Strappy Heels 3
Since you guys have started supported my modding efforts over a year ago, producing accurate high heels has always been a core gole of mine, and I think that this new attempt completely blows my previous works out of the water!
Strappy 3's regular leather variant will go public at the end of the month and for those who want to pitch in for 😎Fashionista😎, I have prepared my usual variant with extra glittered edge strips.
Temptress
Wandering way outside my comfort zone and usual style has yielded possibly one of my all time greats! Feast your eyes on exclusive mod 30, Temptress!
This Temptress suit with arm guards is a great fit for all of your succubus or dragon chick themed renders (I left the design purposely vague). This piece accomodates breast sizes 0-100 and has a half state stripped of scales, leaving only the metals.
I cant wait to see your renders for this one!
Okay thats enough typing for me, I'm going back to work on Galatea and Strappy4. Thank you so much for all of your support, visitation, and engagement! I'll see you when I see you! 💖
