Heyo, thought I should at least post something while I work on the animation ^^ Thought I'd try out some saliva in this one too, turned out pretty well I think :P

Reached the point of animating arms and hands... time for pain in other words lol
But in this section, we can see I'm getting a bit more hands on before a BIG surge of growth ;3
A couple more stills from my animation "Photo Shoot" rendered to test the lighting. Thinking of adding in some kind of coloured light in order to emphasize the shape of the... uhmm... assets lmao :P
2022-08-02 23:03:14 +0000 UTC View PostHeya! Been a while!
So I've been working on an animation, thought I should finally post some WIPs as, to be brutally honest with myself, I've been utter crap at doing that, apologies for those who paid to see behind the scenes stuff. But I'm gonna start actually posting stuff like this now so hopefully you can forgive me.
In progress right now is a Switcherroo inspired animation where I'm on a photoshoot with automated cameras while Blu chills in the cafe with a new app, SwitcherBun, that is currently linked to me. Deciding to be a little mischievous, he uses it during my photo shoot!
Below are some images behind the scenes and tagged to this post is a video of some of the WIP animation for this scene. All is subject to change, but I can confirm I'm putting FAR more effort into motion in this one than I ever did before. I kinda wanna set a new standard for my animations for you guys, I hope you enjoy ^w^
Shadows on that one are a little unintentional, gonna add an extra light to mitigate and diffuse the shadows there.

Created this set of renders because of a new "Thicc" blendshape I made for my avatar just to see how I would look with a bit more junk in the trunk. It's not perfect, but a good start! ^^
Also thinking of using this Polaroid Style as my way of doing preview images, I think it works nicely while still remaining stylized!

Trying out a new way of being big! Macro! Never been much a fan of the City scale Macro stuff, however, I do find the room scale stuff attractive in the way that you're kinda restrained and stuck in a tight environment ;3
In this one, I combined being inflated and macro growth... quite the alluring combo in my opinion :P

Heyo! So, this poll is to determine which features on my public avatars will be developed and uploaded to the VRChat world will be completed first.
Basically, what are you most excited for? I'll work on the features in order from highest vote to lowest!
Here's some behind the scenes of some features that I am setting up on my own personal avatar for use in VRChat!
First of all, the big one for me, my Avatar Awareness System
The goal of this system is to give HUD notifications to me when players touch or interact with parts of my avatar that are outside of my vision, allowing me to react to them as though I have been physically touched! Here's a picture of my contact setup for this system:
As you can see, I am practically covered in contact points. Each of these receivers is looking for interaction from various avatar contacts and drive an animation that gives a HUD notification to me indicating direction and type of interaction I've received. Here's the HUD Layout:
Now, this may look complicated and hectic, but keep in mind that only one of these elements actually show up at any given moment.
The left and right arrows refer to my shoulders, the up arrow for my head, the diagonal ones for my ears, the T for my tail, the A and arrows for both sides of my... rear... and the star to represent my "weak spot" as it's called being the back of my neck!
The entire system is tested and functional! Very proud of how it turned out!
The second of these features is my Dynamic Mood System that has my facial expressions driven by various body postures and poses. This one is more unfinished but here is a WIP pic of the contact layout:
These two contacts control two unique facial expressions under certain circumstances! When I scratch my head it plays a confused facial expression and when I put my hand to my chin with a "Finger Guns" gesture active it causes a thinking animation!
And of course, the final of the features that my main avatar will contain (Besides NSFW stuff and a biiiit of an experiment into a new thing I'm into which you'll see a sneak peek of some other time ;3) is simple contact setups for various reactions to things like headpats, boops, etc etc ^w^

Here's a little few Avatar Dynamics Updates for the Popkin Avatar available right NOW!
You can now INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER!
Feel free to try them out, don't worry, there's plenty of more "Interesting" Features coming a little bit later, all this was made over the course of like an hour or two before bed lmao.
Just you wait for all I've got planned!
2022-04-23 22:32:31 +0000 UTC View PostAlrighty, am now back from my holiday and am IMMEDIATELY getting to work on the new Avatar Dynamics systems that VRChat implemented.
The Popkin inflatable avatar will be the first to get the new features and I've already gotten it working with some interactive expressions for when someone pulls your ears!
Get ready for many new ways to mess with the avatar including but not limited to:
Thumb Blowing Inflation!
Rip Cord Insta Inflate!
Coke and Mentos!
Puffkissing!
And much more!
Just thought I'd drop this message here because I've been on holiday for the past week after posting the "Take it Easy" renders only to find that while I was relaxing with my partner I've gained 22 new patrons!
So, thank you is all I can really say at the moment until I can get back home and make something for you all!
There's something planned too!
Since this number of Patrons has resulted in me passing my £100 goal, as promised I will be creating a long inflation animation with a whole load of detail to it!
Once again, thanks a million to all of you! Your donations here really do help me to pay for food and rent and to keep on making content.
You're all awesome, so keep being awesome!
Here's a version that really cranks the inflation all the way! Even to the point where I'm about to burst in one of the pictures!
Maybe that was... a little too much chocolate and caramel eh? ;3
These pictures, too, will be public on FA in a week or two.
2022-04-14 21:07:17 +0000 UTC View Post
These ones are going to be Patreon Exclusive for a Week or so and then released one at a time on FA.
Here we see a version of the previous renders where I've let the hyper effect erm... "get to me" a bit too much XD
On a more technical note, these renders have really served to test the new facial expressions of the new Ryan the Bun model and my GOD they are so much more expressive than previously. It's an absolute joy to work with facial animations now!

Some renders I made inspired by the various Cadbury Chocolate Bunny Adverts from wayyy back.
Some certainly NSFW versions, love the posing!
Very happy with how these turned out.
Be sure to eat as much chocolate as you can this Easter!

This is a bit of a serious and personal video for me. It shows my real face and is quite long clocking in at roughly 40 minutes.
It's barely edited and is just me, talking to you, about how I feel when it comes to creating content etc as of late.
It also ends with a Promise not just to you the viewer, but also to myself.
Feel free to listen to me ramble in it or don't, this is more just so I can have the video out there more than it is for gathering viewership. But regardless of if you listen or not, thank you. Thank all of you.

Been practicing creating fluid dynamics for a little while, I think it's turning out pretty well now.
I was already pretty good at the actual simulation side of things, but the meshing was looking all odd and flickery, so that's what this test is, to get the meshing right.
So I recreated a real life outfit that I enjoy wearing! A romper combined with a pair of tights!
I've also applied the outfit to my VRChat avatar too ^^
I then made the ability to tear the outfit when getting bigger and it functions in vrc too!

Thank you for such an awesome meetup guys, was awesome to meet all of you although it was legitimately terrifying for me lmao! I still have yet to get used to this whole "having fans of my work" stuff it seems!
For those who didn't manage to make it, don't worry! I'll definitely do more of these because it was lots of fun to just hang out and chat with those who watch my stuff!
You're all awesome, so keep being awesome and thanks a million!
IMPORTANT
So, the meetup in my Avatar lab is going to happen later on in the night due to other complications. It's going to be at roughly 10pm GMT on the 27th of Febuary!
And yup! The Public Inflation Avatar is now live in the world! It is done!
If you wanna try it out for yourself, you can! In my avatar world "Ryan's Avatar Lab!"
Here's a link for your convenience!

Hope you all enjoy!

Here's a brief little teaser for some of the Outfits that will be available for the Popouchi to choose from!
I can also now confirm the new inflation avatar will be released on Sunday the 27th of February at 12pm GMT!
At the same time, I will be in public instances of the Lab to meet people! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Here's the link to the world in case you want to check it out early before the update: https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_249fbc4e-dca5-4d6d-a00f-49075fcb7936
Also, here's a copy of the "Major" Update that I put in the description too!
Heyo All!
So, it's been a while but I've decided that I'm going to be a lot more active making content for the time being. I've managed to push some stresses out of my way and gathered the time I need to create what I want to make and I hope you're all still interested to see what I do ^^
So here we have it, a teaser image for the latest Public avatar. You may notice... it looks quite similar to me in terms of body shape! This is because my main avatar and this one both use a modified version of the "Coppouchi" base model! So for those that have wanted an avatar experience a little more similar to my own, this is perfect for you!
The avatar contains a revamped version of Pump System 2.0 for inflation purposes as usual, so lets call it "Pump System 2.5!"
On top of that, it also has all the hats that the Popkins currently have too along with a nice little prop for you all to use...
BUT NOT YET!!! MWAHAHAHAA!
You lot are just gonna have to wait for an upcoming event to get to try out the new avatar! I'll be doing a VR meetup when the update drops in the public instance of "Ryan's Avatar Labs" more info will be posted when the time comes closer!
As always, more features will come to all the avatars over time. (Just you wait for the VRC avatar Dynamics update... cooking up something MAJOR for that one that may be even more exciting for those who like stuffing their faces with pancakes ;3)
All in all, I hope you didn't miss me and there's plenty more to come down the road. Including commissions, I'll be doing those again relatively soon.
You're all awesome, so keep being awesome!
Laterz! ^W^
Still don't have a name for it yet! Needs to be a play-on-words of "Coppouchi" (being the original base model made by Coppou) and something inflation themed... hmmm...
2022-02-18 01:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm getting back to heavy development work soon, stay tuned people, sorry for being scarcely around for so long, Uni got in the way

Left = Before
Right = After
Hey all! So yup! I'm remodelling major parts of my character to allow for more expressive expressions and dynamic movements to the model!
The previous version's face was modelled in such a way that it made it hard to do heavy expressions without the model deforming excessively so I did some major work on that.
When I say I'm making changes to the model, I mean mostly under the hood. It's main visual will stay the same but it'll just be a lot cleaner and more accustomed to my usages of it. After all, this model was made from a base that was designed to be a simple VRChat model with some expressions and not meant for big animation projects.
Plus, as a result of this, I'm going all in and remaking EVERY BLENDSHAPE BY HAND. So every single expression will be done by me and have my own unique style to it! It's gonna take some hella effort, but I'm looking forward to having an avatar that is more unique to me.
Get ready for a slightly new look and far more expressiveness!
I want to just say here that I am beyond grateful for the support I've gotten from you all, it has really helped me to keep myself alive and well to make content for you all.
At the moment I am suffering from Covid and have been for a week so far and as such have been trying to take it slow. Rest assured, against the judgement of everyone around me, I am continuing to work on various projects so you'll get to see some stuff soon.
Thanks a million to you all ^^

So, remember my inflation themed public avatars for VRChat that are able to use the pump system I made etc... well there's gonna be a new Public Avatar joining the roster... and it has quite the familiar shape don't you think?
That's right, the new public avatar will be made from the "Coppouchi Base" model which happens to be the same model that I am from! You get to have a similar body shape to Ryan the Bun all while being able to inflate and use the Pump System 2.0 too!
The design of this new avatar isn't finalised yet, but I hope you'll like it when it's done!
