You may have noticed that my last real video was 4 months ago, which is a long time even by my standards. I have made a few status posts about how things have been going, but I think a more complete post is in order.

There have been a number of things that have contributed to the lack of new videos, in order of most impact:

Health (Physical and Mental)
Age is catching up to me in a serious way. I'm having problems with low energy and low motivation, in my normal life as well as in my art life. I'm trying to increase my workout routine and diet to compensate, with some limited success.
There have also been some goings on this year (nationally/globally) that have been pretty demoralizing. I'll just leave it at that.

New Software Virt-a-Mate
I spent over a month learning to use VaM hoping it would be a big upgrade from Poser, saving me time and enhancing the quality of my work. In reality, it's more like a lateral move.

The real-time cloth sim looks much better and is much faster/easier than Poser's, but VaM is very limited in terms of ripping, tearing, or otherwise changing clothing. The soft-body sim is great, a huge improvement over Poser, but the interpolation makes it hard to get precise and repeatable results.

But the main holdup is the interface. VaM is really more of a sandbox or porn simulator, and while there is a great community adding on to it, the animation tools are very rudimentary. There isn't even an undo button! And I have to screen-record to "render" my scenes.

I'll have to spend more time on it, but for now, the best case I see is to do sex scenes in VaM while keeping the bulk of the possess/TF in Poser, if the media-change isn't too jarring.

Video Games

There have been a couple games that I've been simply addicted to this year, and thus a lot more art time is instead spent gaming. I think this is made worse by the aforementioned energy/motivation problems; when you're tired, it's easy to just game instead of doing the challenging work of making art.

AI Experiments

Yes, some of my time has been spent on AI stuff. Just like with VaM, I have been investigating what it's capable of. Right now, it's pretty primitive and would only be suitable for intro filler that I wouldn't bother to make otherwise.

Much like video games, it's an easy thing to do when you're tired and don't have the energy to fight Poser again, so I've probably spent more time on this than I would otherwise.

Comms/Collabs/Mini-projects

I've been buying more comms this year and even though someone else is making the art, it still takes a lot of time and energy. I'm not the kind of person who can give someone a sentence and 300 dollars and say "go to town"; I'm typically pretty involved.

The collabs and mini-projects, well again it's about not having the energy to do the big projects, and these ones are just easier to work on.

What's next
I'll be posting a few mini-projects soon.

I've got the first VaM scene almost completed; I'll post some WIP for it soon, but it will have to be a Patron-only post. I'm hoping to have it done in the next few weeks but I'll need to get a VA first.

After that, the voted-upon sequel to New Face. I keep saying I'm going to start working on it and it just hasn't happened yet, other than a few intro tests.
