Clara Ravens – Update #3

Clara Ravens episode 3 - Sample
So since I’ve gotten a bunch of emails asking whether or not Clara Ravens episode 3 was available at crazyxxx3dworld.com yet, I thought I better get an update out to let you all know that it isn’t finished yet. In fact, it’s going to be closer to the end of March in all likelihood. Real world stuff and other commitments have slowed production, but not by much. Mostly it is just the length of the story combined with all of these sets I’ve had to put together that have been the biggest bottleneck. But good news is that the final set piece (the most complex of the bunch) is 80% finished. The bad news is that there is a ton of action in that scene and probably another 25-30 frames I have to render in that set alone. Continue reading “Clara Ravens – Update #3”

Clara Ravens – Update #1

Clara Ravens - Teal Outfit, Dirt & CutsWhile I’m waiting for a frame to render, I thought I’d drop some updates on Clara Ravens episode 3.

First, I am truly gunning for the end of February as a release. This will likely be the longest of the episodes so far, but I think I should be able to hit my self-imposed deadline due to the fact that it is all I am focusing on since I’ve lost my job. I was laid off a few weeks ago, along with hundreds of other employees at my company, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I want to reserve this post for focusing on Clara Ravens, so I will update you all on my future plans in a later post. Let me just say for now that this might be a blessing in disguise.

So, as you can see from the attached image (another subsurface scattering render), Clara is changing to a teal/brown outfit for this latest adventure. This is what she will look like towards the end of the episode after an awesome battle scene. I used AlfaseeD’s wonderful Sisterhood Skin .psd textures for adding cuts to Clara’s skin. I didn’t use his texture with the dirt/grime Continue reading “Clara Ravens – Update #1”

Update: Clara Ravens Episode 3

Jack Hawkins and Clara RavensAfter much thought concerning the episode of Clara Ravens that I tackle next, I decided not to do the ‘Young Clara’ flashback episode just yet. I do appreciate everyone’s comments in regards to which episode to tackle next. And though the majority of the voting was for the ‘Young Clara’ episode, I felt that the backstory in this next episode will better tie in to a flashback later. That way, I can make the flashback more than just a one-faceted flashback, explaining only one thing about her.

Remember how, in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the first fifteen minutes are of a Young Indiana Jones? In that fifteen minutes, they explain so much concerning his character: how he came to be afraid of snakes, how he came to be fond of whips, how he got that Harrison Ford scar on his chin, and how he got his hallmark fedora. Well, I want the flashback to be more like that. I want it to tell not just one story about Clara, and why she is the way she is, but several. Continue reading “Update: Clara Ravens Episode 3”
