Weekly update!
(attached the last test frame)
Work went kinda smooth-ish.
1.. Spent 2 days on the boobies and belly bulge.
- Tried one method to get the boobs simulated, but it was not behaving well at all, had to resort to good ol' skinning to have them working.
Bull In Cow Animation Preview (Missing some FX)
And a weekly friday update!
Animation's done, just need to do the bulge FX (hopefully it'll cooperate), some post fixes. Thought that maybe the boobs will be done as well, but it's late already and friday update needs time too.

Weekly friday update time! Slow week, but it's ramping up hard starting next.
1.. Done a quick test to have soft body physics (rump area mostly). No good.. Way too slow and very unwieldy, requiring too much setup each new shot/scene. Maybe 4 hours spent.
2.. Sketched the poses for the animation. - Did a couple extra for the future. N...

Weekly update time!
1. Fixed up some color-related stuff in the rendering that bothered in the previous project.
2. The haybale was rather difficult to do fast, keep it simple, and not ugly. But managed to get rather alright results! Styled to heck, but it at least looks something like a haybale. It took away the most time this week ...

Ok, trying to keep up a weekly update schedule with what's been happening (INCLUDING PICTURES, hopefully).
1. Been rather slow, but the little annoyances in rigs have been fixed.
2. In prep to a commission, did some more eye research and came up with some upgrades to own characters.
- Still need to actually update the eyes,... 2021-02-26 17:09:59 +0000 UTC View Post
The Happenings
Apologies for being a bit quiet recently, took the time to untangle the mind, rethink schedule, in addition to:
1. Cleaned up the Rimjob project. Went from 140gb to 80gb.
2. Updated rigs a little by fixing some annoyances.
- Still working out some more complicated quirks and upgrades.
3. Tweaked character materi...

Rendering
- Taking far longer than expected. So far it's clocked to 99 hours minus 6 (crashed one night). Got some more ideas for optimization, but will try utilizing those in future projects.
- Doing other things in parallel like compositing, continuity fixes.
- On the better news - this project will certainly wrap up coming week! <... 2021-01-30 16:01:16 +0000 UTC View Post

I hope everyone had nice holidays and are keeping well!

It's coming along nice! Work's been on the slow side, but it looks like the animation will be finished by end of tuesday next week.
Also looks like the completion of the project will have to scooch over to early next month.
Might cook up a holiday still render before taking some time off!
Thanks for sticking around.

It's an animated gif, should be playing.
Last week has been slow.
This one estimates 6.6s for now, that might be 7 days of animation. Of course, it's really rough, missing notes and certain small details that will be done during animation. It may also be a little longer in the end depending how animation works out.
My hope is t...

Apologies for not poking my head out for two weeks, had plenty to read, learn, and test.
Things got very frustrating, finding out how a lot of methods have very limited uses or cost a lot in terms of setup/simulation. But there are a few cases where the few viable methods can be used successfully! So there's that.

Already started working on animation, this was the initial storyboard for the scene.
In the future, I may do an entire animatic for better estimations on how long scenes should be.
This one estimating close to 5s animation, might be about 4-5 days, then might add some juiciness special FX, which might add 2-3 days extra given the nee...

Was hoping to complete the scene by end of today, but missing maybe half a day to a day. Initial calculations for it were 12 days, given that this scene was a little over 6 seconds with two full characters to animate. Pretty close estimation! Only 1 day off.
