Edit(11/08/23): All the files for the Wercor Frame are up on PWG. As I just uploaded these, it might take a sec for them to show in your downloads library, and if they still haven't popped up in an hour or two please follow this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-arcus-91743097
I recommend e...

Nov.Release Stuff

Finalizing the the Wercor kit is cutting a bit into my 4 day buffer I give myself at the beginning of the month. I should have the posts/renders up tomorrow for them. I just have the melee stuff left to pose~ Sorry for the short delay, I didn't think this kit would be this large x'D

November Work in Progress 2

I have been plugging away at this kit just adding and adding to it and I wanted to get one more WIP up x'D I've got a few more things left to model out (shields and a couple smaller shoulder pauldrons, and if I'm lucky a few nonsense bits), and then it's just, so much posing.

Patreon/Arcus File issues:

I reached out to PWG earlier this month see about sorting out the current issue with some folks not having this months files show up in their downloads tab (or rather a lot more then the usual amount) This is appaarently an issue with the updates Patreon made earlier this month messing with their backend, causing a few issues with PWG's integration, this is currently being worked on.

In t...

November Work in Progress 1

Finally getting some stuff up on the base (TippyLeg variant) Wercor frame~
Mostly just been working through the base model, And getting all the forms set up for it.
This frames pieces will work with the previous VoidCrafted at a simple 1.25 Upscaling~ (and .8 for the downscale~) Some of the upscaled two held weapon poses might not work 100% with this torso, but all the single arms and the...

[October]: FishMech ReRuns: Koi/Mako Kits

[Edit 10/4/23] ReRuns fileset should be up on PWG now~ If they're not showing up in your library just yet, give it a lil' time as things catch up or hit that sweet check for new downloads button in your library~
~Pipes

Now we get into the Meat and Potatoes units for the FishMech~ The Koi and Mako are two of what I considered to be some of my most versatile frames. So much can be built...

[October Release] Arcus [ARC] Scout Class VoidFrame

[Edit 10/4/23] Arcus' fileset should be up on PWG now~ If they're not showing up in your library just yet, give it a lil' time as things catch up or hit that sweet check for new downloads button in your library~
~Pipes


I can't actually believe it's October x'D Like the Luminora, I started this thinking it would be a smaller kit, easy to knock out, and then work on a few other thin...

October Work in Progress 3

'Nother quick WIP before I model up the last few pieces remaining, but that's all the weapons for this kit~
I have the rear leg plate pieces to model out, and then all the posing, bits spread, and hopefully I have some more time to do a little bit of work on the Cor Weapons platform.

Also did a handful of test prints to continue to check how some of this stuff works out printed and so...

October Work in Progress 2

Just another quick work in progress update for the Arcus Frame~
I've got most of the Frame modeled with a few other bits (Coattail plates and some stuff that'll work into the rifle once I get the poses set up.
I'll be working through the rifle and alt barrels next~ And I did a few test prints to see how stuff was looking with a little test pose.
So far so good, and I'm really pleased w...

October Work in Progress 1

Just wanted to get some images of the WIP Arcus frame as it's been a sec (grey's a placeholder piece)~ I'm slowly prepping myself with the knowledge that each kit is probably just gonna have a bunch of variant lower bodies xD (Quilted/Ceramic/Ceramic w/Armor Plates (Not fully modeled yet))

And like others, there will be a few variant barrels for the rifle that slot in like previous (Each...

[September]: FishMech ReRuns

EDIT: September's Fishmech ReRun set is up on PWG.
(On the FishMech ReRuns, these files are on the older side of things and PWG's library sorts in chronological release order, so if you have a bunch of things, these will typically be at the backend of the library)
It might take a minute for them to actually show up in your downloads.
And if it's not poppin' up usually checking for new ...

[September Release] Luminora [LUM] Class VoidFrame

EDIT: All of the Luminora files are now up on PWG, RawOBJs/SupportedOBJs/PrePlates/and the T-Pose set for digital kitbashing~
I went with doing a plate for almost all of the poses in the Turntable set so there's some decent variety there~
It might take a minute for them to actually show up in your downloads.

And if it's not poppin' up usually checking for new downloads will pull th...

September Work in Progress 3

Almost there x'D Just a couple more variant heads, and then it's just posing out all the generic stuff.
(I've already test printed the cloth support and find it to be on par with the CardinalFish~)
~Pipes

September Work in Progress 2

I keep meaning to make another work in progress set, but kept getting caught up in stuff xD

This pack is very quickly becoming a similar bits scope to the Vacarsield frame, and I'm glad that next month's Arcus frame doesn't have nearly as many variant pieces x'D

For the floating poses, I'll have a piece of anchoring fabric mounting to the disk piece on the backpacks. As a note, th...

September Work in Progress 1

This is a lil' update as well as a Work in progress set~
For those on the discord, you'll know I was hospitalized again with what essentially happened 2 years ago when I was helivacc'd x'D But I caught it early enough on that i only had to spend a lil less then a weel in the hospital this time near the beginning of the month. I've got a bunch of followups, but it's never a dull momen...

I've gotten a few questions:

I've gotten a few questions over on the discord and in my patreon DMs, so I've added the release schedule for the FishMech reruns to the welcome note for the FishMech_ReRun tier as well as the Releases_Reruns Tier. Not everyone's on the discord, but Patreon doesn't give you much of a good way to designate or pin a schedule for release.  That said, I'm gonna make a board under read-first bo...

Newer Tiers are Live

As the title suggests the new tiers are live.

I've gone and renamed things a bit in an attempt to potentially mitigate confusion.
Overseer is now VoidCraft_Releases.
FishMech_ReRuns is the tier for well, fishmech reruns
Releases and ReRuns is the tier for both the current project (VoidCrafted) and the Fishmech Reruns.
Each t...

[August release] Vacarsield [VAC] Class VoidFrame

Edit: The Vacarsield Void frame is up on PWG, as well as the initial Rerun of the fishmech~ I've test printed all of the Vacarsield files as well as the preplates and everything should be good~
~Pipes

This has been a long time coming x'D I started work on gbase modeling and etting the VC concepted and modeled for the past 5-6 months x'D From getting more organic forms down in fusion t...

Adding additional tiers to the mix.

I've made mention of this a few times before here and on the Discord. The plan moving forward from here is to introduce two new tiers to the patreon as a response to the FishMech stuff mostly concluding here.

This all breaks down into the current Overseer tier, and two newer tiers (yet to be named)

The current $10 Overseer tier. This tier is business as usual, and ...

August Work in Progress 2

I think this'll probably be the last work in progress set before I do all the final renders post for August~

Getting all the posed bits setup, and working through the more armored Base frame~
There will be a lot of ways to build this x'D Ran a few test prints of the armored one as airbrush practice, and just to make sure some of the bits will print ok~
I've got a few more pieces to...

August Work in Progress 1

Hey! Long time no chat Piper. (I was a bit predisposed earlier in the month with some more hospital nonsense, but I'm mostly fine, no worries~)

Anyway the VoidCrafted, what's up with that?
I've been busy working through the base frame stuff (Vacarsield [VAC] Class VoidFrame), and I wanted to get some images up of where that's at so far~ I've got most of the base fram...

PrintedWarGames is now up~

Alright~ The new website is up and functional. I need to stress that this is currently a Copy of CG&T, but it's a different color. Like a shiny Pokemon~ Over the next few days PWG will be starting to work in and implement a host of changes to the UI and systems. And once everything is set up, PWG will will make a full announcement denoting that things are out of "beta" so t...

[July Release] Reinforcements add on kit

[Edit: The ChucklingSquids Pre-Supports are up on PWG And that's it. That's all the fishmech, we're done here~

There was also an a small fix on the PosedArms_SingleArm_Pose4 but for some reason, the sphere wasn't actually there. A remodel of the area fixed it, and I've re-uploaded the files to the reinforcement packs. Specifically replacing the RawOBJs_Rifles_PosedArms.zip and the Suppor...

The big stuff and things update.

Hello! It's me Piper of PiperMakes~
This is an amount of information to cover for some of the future things for PiperMakes, so I'm just kinda get into it.
(presented in two formats because I thought when I started this post this morning, that a video would be a good idea):

So to start this off web tech site stuff:
I made a post covering some of this earlier in the year about CG&a...

CG&T Expected Outtage

7/1/23: As I said in the post here: Big stuff and things post, CG&T is currently undergoing it's host migration to PrintedWarGames. This is taking a little longer then initially planned for, which is why the site is still currently offline.
When the site is back up, I'll have another post/announc...

July Work in Progress 3

Just wanted to get another render set and a few test prints of things up~

The Koi scaled rifles are all modeled up, preposed, and loose files for single arm poses for these~ They should prove to be pretty versatile, and I'm pleased with 'em. They should for the most part be compatible with the koi and mako torsos as well as the halo torso seen further into these pics~ (But this is a thin...

MMF Is bad.

I don't usually make posts like this on here, but I kinda, just, had to write this up after this morning.

A lot of you ask why I don't use MMF, or you already know that I have very little respect (read: none) for MyMiniFactory as a platform, and I feel I have a pretty decently sizeable platform to vocalize this too.

Some of you may know about the issues/bugs/glitches/theft that occ...

July Work in Progress 2

Worked through the Odo legs, working on some rifle bits for the Koi/Mako~ I've got 2 or 3 more barrels planned, and they're split into two pieces for the held poses, and then they'll be some loose ones like all the other rifle iterations~ After that I'm getting into some larger scale CardinalFish Halos~

Any piece that I edit from the base files will be included in the associated parts fo...

July Work in Progress 1

So this month is gonna be a lot of just bits I've wanted to do for a while now, but either couldn't get to or didn't have a real reason to actually model them out. It's gonna be some kitbash, some modeling, lots of bits, and I think it'll be pretty fun~

And I figured you'd like to see this lil' leader guy~
While I don't typically like making leader models because there's enough bits a...

[June Release] CuttleGeist SpecOps Frame

[Edit 6.6.23 PrePlates for the Geist are up on CG&T and that's a wrap~
~Pipes]

What was originally planned to just be a shoulder update like with the Sturgeon Frame turned into what was basically a complete remodel of the original AnglerGeist frame. Sometimes that's just what happens when you open up a model from 2021 and you're hit with "Wow some of that's just...could be better....
