-FvT 2022 half year round up
on August 2, 2022
Hello everyone, Sokaras here! Hope all of you have been well. We reached passed the midpoint of the year, so I wanted to show you which pages have been voted best each month so far on the FvT discord.
I hope you enjoyed these pages so far and are looking forward to many more. Wish you all the best and thank you for following the comic.
Sincerely,
Sokaras
I find myself interested in the story as a whole rather than just the H. This is an achievement! not many H writers can actually manage something this complex and streamlined and entertaining. On a second note, I’m the guy that made a 3D posable tentacle a long while back, not a nihilak I didn’t get that ambitious! just a single tentacle. I’m that guy from the discord server. I’m rarely on a browser that can view discord so I’m messaging here; do you know if anyone is working on a 3D fairy model? I thought of making one but I’m a terrible procrastinator and don’t want to be upstaged in the middle of it lol.
Thanks! Glad you like the comic~
I do not know anybody who’s working on a 3d fvt fairy model. Or if anybody’s doing so, they haven’t talked to me about it.
Cool, it’ll be a while till I can actually get to it, I’ll send it as fan art as and when it’s basic form is done. I’ll probably convert a 3D female anime base I’ve been working on. but that needs to have it’s rigging finished first. shoulders elbows hips knees all fine. Fingers? that will require tedious math (already started on a male model and wow hands are tedious and mind bending to rig.
In your opinion if I were to graft this 3D model after the likeness of a single fairy as of now, do you have any preferences?
Not really. If anything I started using 3d software to help with complex angles and pose so I could certainly use a standard fairy size for ref, since the default one are too quirky sometime. (head too big, legs too long etc). So somebody like Myri or Syl could work. I’d pay you to have a copy if the rigging is compatible with the software.
I typically use blender3D(2.49b), and should be able to convert to most 3D file types. If needed I can open it in 2.79 and export to newer file formats. But if you have a specific software in mind do let me know which software so I can figure nout how this needs to work.
The software I currently use is called Easy Pose, available on steam for 10$. Really basic stuff, but perfect for reference needs.

Darn. looks like they only allow the built-in models. on apple and mac they had “premium” models but those were from their own store. Other than that it seems they don’t have an import function nor a model format to convert to. Also in my research I found they made it in Unity3D. If I were to guess the models are likely .fbx(autodesk’s proprietary format), though Unity3D can import blender3D(2.79) .blend files. Maybe they’ll include an import feature in a later release. (correct me if they already have it, and let me know what file format)
I know EasyPose comes with many premade poses, especially some adult ones. remaking all of them would be tedious. As a backup plan, typically my blender rigs are really easy to pose anyways, with advanced constraints to keep things from rotating wrong etc. There are simple target points for things like elbows, arms, knees and feet merely drag them to where you want the specified body part to point. If it comes to this I can leave a howto doc in the file and help with any poses and explanations as well. Pretty easy to use, I already use my female base this way.. I’ll get on to updating it and converting it to an FvT fairy.
Okay, that’s weird and there has to be a way around that, because in community screenshots I’ve seen models that are definitely not in the current version of the software. So it might not be officially supported, but something’s up.
UPDATE: checking the gallery again, maybe I was mistaken, it’s all stuff I’ve seen in the software. Darn. But yeah I could figure how to use blender as well, but I hope they add an import feature at some point.
No worries, got a bit of work to do.. gosh I thought this rig was good back when I made it. need to adjust the elbows and knees so they bend realistically. Math time: leg depth – Bone’s distance from front of knee = Height the back of knee thigh vertices need to be from the rotation point. Now to get off my lazy ass and do it. IRL work this weekend, but I don’t know about next week so I may be free to put a lot more effort into this. (I used to do 16 hour days of 3D work, I need to get back to that.) let see how much I can get done in a week.
Progress has been made, as I said I’m slow and a procrastinator. But it’s getting there. I was going to wait till I could share a picture of the final fvt fairy form before giving an update; but because my progress may be slow, that might be a while. I tried to apply the rigging of the elbow I had on another model to the female base I made, problem was the female model has more geometry (over 4.5k polygons without a subsurf, versus the other model’s 1.7k polygons for the game engine). Sometimes it takes a lot of figuring because I forget I have a real body to observe and learn from (I become too focused on the model). but yeah the elbow is as close to perfect as rigging alone can do. Might need some shapekeys for muscles on the bicep to tense right. but meh we’ll get to that as and when. I am now copying the elbow’s structure and rigging to the other side. Then we’re on to hands and then eyes and finally a tail and antennae and I’ll convert the form into Myri and Syl. I should be able to do both hands at once as the structure wont need modification, so I can just x-axis mirror the weight. this process sounds shorter than it actually will be lol.
I talk too much. If you’d like I’m from Forkheads and we have an old ajax chat over there, you’re welcome to join and check for updates there so I don’t spam this comments section with minor updates of something barely related to FvT at this time lol. http://www.forkheads.net/chat/ keep in mind it is forkheads (the creators of the sex kitten sim date flash game series), so we get crazy over there sometimes. The chat typically gets purged on a 24 hour basis.
I’ll pass on the chat, I already have too much stuff to admin and check. Good continuation on your project!
