Scenes Use My Body

I looked back to see when I actually started this project, and the first modified versions of Nial's Industrial Apartment were way back in January of 2024. I obviously haven't been "working" on this scene for almost two years, but that's how long I've been kicking it around.



I started out with the idea of doing a simple camride that showcased a bunch of random positions around an interesting apartment or loft. Nial's apartment was the closest I'd found to what I was looking for, but I ended up modifying it to suit some of the shots and positions I wanted to capture. I talk a little more about that in the final remix version.



But the pieces to this project were really very scattered. I knew I was going to use KyraAngel's incredibly gorgeous Kyra Rebirth from the start, but that was about the only thing I knew was "final" about this scene from the get-go. I didn't make the final adjustments to this apartment until February of this year, well into my animation. I hadn't really chosen the final song until a few months ago, as I was kicking a few of them around. Picking this song meant I had to redo and even trim a couple of the animations I had planned. And in between all of that, I started multiple other projects, and even completed one of them.



Man, I have been all over the place with this project. I built a menu that I enjoyed, then scrapped it because it was too hard to move around the space easily. I switched to using hazmhox's VAMStory for the menu, mainly for the "always face you" feature, which makes it really effective when trying to tie a menu to a camera flying around.



But I eventually got there. I had a bunch of nice animations, a song I liked, a setting that had the right feel, some rad lighting, some usable menus, and a pile of screenshots to finally publish this beast of a product. I went back through it and fixed some bugs and really started to pile on with the critique. I considered just not releasing this at all, or even going back to the drawing board with it, but I managed to convince myself that sometimes just finishing the project is more important than making it perfect. "Perfection is the enemy of good," they say, and that's 110% accurate.



I will say, even though my cynicism about the end result is pretty strong, I'm overall proud of what I've accomplished here. For such a long project though, it's missing a lot of polish. Some of the animations are pretty primitive. A couple of the positions just aren't viable for anything more than being performative. There are textures I never got around to fixing in the apartment. The scene could have been longer. The lighting could have been better. The menu work is a bit janky and the camride is mediocre. And on and on.



I like it though. I think it has good bones, even with it's flaws. I wanted to have some cool teleport buttons so you could bounce quickly to the areas where the action is, but I finally just decided to make it "camride only." It's not well-suited for being first-person with the male atom (some of the positions suck to "watch" the action, even in VR) and on that note, I don't even really love the camride in VR.



Your mileage may vary here, and I promise that I really do hope you enjoy what I've put together! I just feel like I've had way better projects in the past, and I let this one get away from me a bit. I might revisit this at some point to clean up my own personal gripes, but I have other projects I have already cozied up to, so I can't promise that such a thing would happen any time soon.



Instructions:
There's nothing too fancy here. Sliders to adjust volume on the music, moaning, and rain audio. A toggle to turn the rain off. Start and Stop buttons. Sorry fellas, it's camride only. :/


Acknowledgements:

I can't thank the other creators around here enough for all of your resources. Scenes like mine are only possible with because of the awesome work that others have done before me, and I truly appreciate all of you. Kyra is the queen of this scene, and all of the little things that went into making her so stunning are easy to overlook. Some hair from Roac and the irreplaceable Enhanced Eyes plugin from Hunting-Succubus really bring her to life. AcidBubbles and hazmhox obviously have the biggest pile of plugins here, and every single one of their contributions are invaluable to making this whole thing work. I'm still using MacGruber's plugins as well, and even though Fluids is used in half a dozen different places here, cum effects and textures from DragonPhantom, Redeyes, and OrangeGumi... uh, finish the job. The sweaty bodies are courtesy of WeebUVR, the bouncing breasts and tightening muscles are courtsey of everlaster and CheesyFX, and Blazedust's ParentHold link is making things stick where they need to stick. For those who care about such things, the audio track is called "Emptiness" and it's a collab by One True God and Roniit



I've probably missed a couple people, so call me out if you spot such an oversight and especially if it's you that I've missed. Again, thank you so much for everything you do, and thank you for keeping your resources free for everyone to enjoy!
