The work of TehRiddles

Pure work only blog. Here I post my work in Photoshop and SFM as well as any other things. Contains loli and is often NSFW. Nothing against Tumblr rules though --- Tales from Lewdia Source FilmMaker Blender Drawn art --- SFW blog NSFW blog Work only blog Pixiv Rule34Hentai

[tehriddles]

So Tumblr have decided to throw the baby out with the bath water and ban all NSFW content now. Completely sucks that they went that way, though it was to be expected since they can’t run the site decently enough as is and they lost their app on the Apple store because of that.

While I post pretty much SFW stuff on this blog (might have posted some NSFW back in the earlier days), I made both @tehriddlesresults for my largely NSFW projects and @tehriddlesrisque for NSFW reblogs that would stick out a bit among all the puppies I tend to post. The latter is effectively dead now, as are all the blogs that I once reblogged. The former will have to be striped almost bare.

If you want to still see my NSFW stuff on the occasion that I post it, I have done so here.

Pixiv - Pretty much everything is here, including WIP versions of finished pieces. Though they do require censoring of some stuff due to Japanese law, they allow my work.

Baraag - It’s a Twitter style website, allows my particular work and is great for finding other similar artists. I went in, followed one person and managed to find like 25+ other artists I also follow based on who they boosted. So far I’ve uploaded most of my work on there with links back to Pixiv.

Newgrounds - While I haven’t uploaded anything there yet (unsure of their stance on some of my art) I am there anyway. I may start uploading things there in time so who knows, you might want to follow me on there just in case.

Twitter - I’ve made an account because a bunch of my friends are moving over to there. What surprises me is they allow NSFW stuff, even some of the more taboo things. That or they care far less than Tumblr about deleting it. Again, made an account on there but am unsure of if I will be posting much if at all of my own work. For the time being I’ve just reblogged a few things from people I follow, you might want to check them out.

Looks like I’ve posted something lewd and spooky, take a look see

[tehriddlesresults]

Check out the alt on Pixiv too

This one took a while, especially since my old tablet failed on me part way through. Would have liked to have done more with the background but honestly that in of itself was its own piece and something I never really tried before considering what I had in mind.

[tehriddlesresults]

First SFM piece I’ve done in a couple years, this one has been on the backburner for a good while. Woke up this morning feeling like finishing it. Who knows, maybe I’ll do more. You can find it here. Contains loli of course

[tehriddlesresults]

that Rule34Hentai site you use, I used to use it but after a while every click would auto-pop-up 5 separate tabs or browsers of crap, how do you use it without that annoying you out of that site as well as the many other people on it, do u use an updated ad-blocker? I have one to but it did not work I had a user and it did not change it either

Honestly I haven’t used it in a while, the ads themselves became too much that it wasn’t a fair trade off for the content. I don’t know how it’s like how, I don’t know if it’s what you point to for reasons to install an adblocker like it was back then. I’ve kind of moved to Pixiv since then. They’ve got different rules but it’s easier to get around it.

Some examples of the stuff I’ve made so far in Blender to go with the Peridot model

[tehriddles]

So using that Peridot model that belongs to @wo262​ has encouraged me to be more creative in Blender. I’ve made a setpiece with modular parts as you can see with the room there. A hexagonal room with removable windows, a computer/chair, working door and more. I also made my first humanoid model with a working rig, the cardboard robot, simple yet effective. Using what I learned there I went as far as making that lab table that Peridot is on in the last pic. It has a working piston base capable of raising up and down plus rotating and tipping forwards on an angle, all the controls in a handy pedestal to the left of the pic. The arms themselves are simple IK rigs with claws that open symmetrically along a fixed axis and angle range. A lot of what I learned there I am sure I can implement somewhere else in the future. Pics on the computer screens are from the following.

I wanted to make something simple enough in Blender so I wouldn’t get rusty, decided to make Mr Toots here. He’s the plush elephant of Emma, Hoshime’s own character. She does NSFW loli just so you know. Then again so do I so you’re probably okay with that.

Quite pleased with how it turned out, I’ve had a go at making something similar with less positive results so it’s good to see that this one turned out great.

Finally, after an eternity of roadblocks and such along the way I’ve gotten this one finished. You can find the first part here and I’ll be posting the rest of the parts over the course of tomorrow.

Part two

[tehriddlesresults]

I think that Noel’s room was causing some problems so it was a relief to no longer need it. Still, I had fun scenebuilding it.

Part two

[tehriddlesresults]

The water here was such a hassle that it caused a good number of slowdowns. Lesson is don’t rely on it.

Even tonight I faced problems needing to go back and re-render several shots due to how fire worked at high resolutions when close enough to the camera. I’m just glad I got this finished even if it isn’t as well done as I had hoped. I didn’t want to scrap all the effort I had already put in, especially since I took the time to make items specifically for this comic.

[tehriddles]

Well after nearly a year of starting making the renders for the comic I’ve finally gotten around to finishing them all. I’ve been working on and off of this comic over the years, sometimes pushing myself to complete multiple renders in one day after day only to burn myself out, various issues coming up that drag it out or make me have to put it down for a while, all sorts.

The next stage is putting it all together in Photoshop and that’s easy enough that I can get multiple pages done faster than SFM. Once this is all done I’ll put it out and it’ll be the last comic like this for the foreseeable future. While I learned a bunch of things from making the first one there were still others for the next. With how much effort I had to put into it I don’t find it worth it at this stage, too many obstacles to overcome and that’s partially due to the limits of SFM.

After this I’m going to work on Blender, I hope that I can eventually create Rachel and Clem as how I picture them in my head rather than having to rely on the approximations that come from these edited models. I made Rachel’s new staff and Clem’s new sword in Blender after all.

Almost done, finally.

[tehriddles]

Not dead, just took a much needed break. The comic is still coming along.

[tehriddlesresults]

One of the plus sides in making this is I discovered some problems with my original textures on the Rachel model. They’re fixed now. Also once I get the comic done I’m going to look into doing more work on the Rachel and Clem models. Hopefully it won’t be too long until I can make models based on the characters themselves rather than use edited existing models as “actors”.

[tehriddles]

Still working on the comic, just had some annoying hurdle with the water.

In SFM, water is unpredictable a lot of the time. It doesn’t like to render properly even on official source maps. Either chunks of it won’t appear in your render or it will have some weird artifacts. Even if it looks find in the viewport and the render progress window, you won’t know how it looks until you see the final product.

I’ve been working with the Dear Esther caves and there’s a few sequences there with water that I used in the story. Should have learned from before that the water won’t turn out how I would want it. For starters there were problems with the water surfaces that required me to find a new angle for the shot or move things and rely on greenscreen to add water in post. On top of that there were a few underwater shots. That part was incredibly annoying due to the refraction effects the water had. What is worse is that after spending all the time I did to get it looking as good as I could, rendering it at the higher resolution practically minimized that.

So things to take note of, avoid water in SFM. If you must use water, find an empty spot of land and use these water props

[tehriddlesresults]

Work is coming along though. I discovered I can simply click on a model in the animation set and import a blank sequence rather than a tpose animation. Saves a lot of time in the long run

[tehriddlesresults]

Do you upload your stuff somewhere online where they can be more readily/easily batch downloaded like MEGA or Dropbox? I luckily was able to on ExHentai, but it is unfortunate they got stricter with 3D loli.

Nowhere that they can be batch downloaded. The only places I upload it are Pixiv (which as far as I know doesn’t have a batch download option), Rule34Hentai and ExHentai. With ExHentai it sucks since that Sarah set I uploaded was 45 images big.As for somewhere to batch upload them, the question is what would be the best one? There’s the obvious question of which I could get away with uploading to. Then there’s how easy it would be to maintain said downloads and keep track of them.

Welp, Lewdia update.

It’s not dead, just pretty behind schedule. Which considering I didn’t make a schedule is to be expected.

But now I have, kind of. I’ve finally gotten to the SFM stage of things and assuming there are no hiccups along the way (of course there will be) then I’ll be done with the SFM renders in 30 days and then onto the comic page layouts in PS. That shouldn’t take too long to do. If I keep up the pace then that will be done in a week.

The next chapter of Lewdia should be done before xmas.

As for why Clem and Rachel don’t have their new sword and staff in this image, that’s because they’ll be getting them before the end of the chapter.

Remember to follow my work only blog if you only want work updates from me and not hundreds of pictures of cute animals and memes.

[tehriddles]

Welp, this is what I get for putting it off for so long and then trying to deal with it all at once.

Came across a few issues while working, one of them being the old SSAO issue that occurs when rendering at high resolutions. I had experienced this with the previous chapter of Lewdia yet had forgotten about it until now. Reason being I had not rendered anything at the same resolution as before between then and now. With SSAO on at default there’s a slight shading around the cells as SFM renders, yet since most people render at 1080p or 1440p there are only about 4 cells to render and you don’t notice them. When you have 49 cells to render, you get this clear shadowy line going through your images. Only way to fix it is either render at too low a resolution for editting or turn down SSAO enough to where it’s advantages are almost gone.

On top of that I’ve come across a weird lighting issue with the Clem model that causes the different textures on her to look different from their neighbours. This means there’s a clear seam on her neck. It’s a lot less noticeable if you tweak the light correctly though.

As for rendering the images. At first I got out 10, then 12, but doing that day after day can be a bit exhausting. I doubt I could keep up 10 renders minimum for 30 days straight. I already feel like I’m close to burning out and I’ve only hit the start of part 2 of 6. Getting this done before xmas is unlikely. At the very least I’m going to try less days of no work if I am not feeling against such a thing.

With word going around about how Nintendo are going after NSFW stuff of their properties on Tumblr, I’m deleting the posts of them before it’s too late.

I love Nintendo but damn they really need to get with the times and understand how things work in this day and age. Rule 34 is “There is porn of everything, no exceptions”. No matter how hard they fight it, there will be porn of their work. There’s going to be pictures of Peach getting her peach pounded; there’s going to be Imp Midna doing something with that giant hand; Samus will dread Metroids for more than one reason; Pokemon will get anthro formes and do it with their trainers.

Nintendo can’t stop this and no matter how hard they try, they can’t delete this off the internet.

On an unrelated note, I have stuff on Pixiv, Rule34Hentai and ExHentai
