thinking about FinalIK and the Mudwing during breakfast… I *may* be *at least slightly* hyper fixated ( Picture taken by Bulvej on VRC)

If I had to put a number to it, I'd say the Mudwing edit is ~50% complete. I've decided to focus recently on polishing most of the existing features + adding things like the hue shifts and menu icons for everything, in anticipation of the public WIP. (image related)

Spent the past few days working on lots of small bugfixes and QOL tweaks for the Mudwing. Still no ETA on the public WIP, but we're getting there! (picture related)

Slowly but surely, the Mudwing edit is progressing to the point where I'd be ready to post a public WIP avatar. There's still a lot of stuff I need to do between now and then, and even more to do between then and a final release, but several big features (like wing control) are progressing nicely!

I fed my dragon Jell-o and their neck is now wobbly should I be concerned

Y'all want some behind the scenes stuff? During early production on @fuskybutt.bsky.social's set I tasked @sillybeanthing.bsky.social with modeling and rigging this lovely little dragon to represent their partner @cynra.gay, which I retopologized and animated.

Stage flight today was absolutely incredible- I used the Mudwing for a majority of it. Probably spent at least 1/3rd of the event airborne! (...my arms are going to be very sore tomorrow *wheeze*) Awesome photo by Kessedrian over on Discord

this is how dragons are meant to use chairs, right? #VRChat

WIP FinalIK edit of the Dovabrodian avatar for #VRChat Shoutout to @purpzie.com for their incredible gryphon edit, which served as both the main inspiration, and primary source of reference when creating this!

Experimenting with shaders for an upcoming project debug monocle with different view options, like wireframe or zoom, and will eventually include world position too idea is to have something lightweight and easy to setup (this will probably be released as a free asset at some point in the future)
