A second preview of the upcoming belly dancing mini animation that Disregard animated last month, this time with the big tummy~!
Rendering this out unfortunately takes a tiny bit longer due to the two versions. Each one has three different perspectives, so it's a total of 6 short sequences. Unfortunately rendering these until the end of June didn't pan out and they require roughly another...

Disregard had some fun with Chloe and did a little belly dance animation with her! I've been polishing it in the recent days and set her up in her domain and now it's becoming its own mini animation that should be finalized early next month.
There's also going to be a big tummy variation. Alex actually provided me with one, but I ended up reanimating it since I needed everything within on...

Here's another look at the alternative angles/lighting for Chloe's Tease, which will release here in a few days!
Making these wasn't a small tasks since it required re-lighting and re-rendering more than half of the original animation, which could only be done through a few shortcuts such as lowering the rendering resolution to 3200x1800 and reducing the amount of render-heavy volumetric ...

After making it through the Endless Forest, Space Hero is now making his way through the Endless Desert, oh well!
First playblast for Encounter 3, animated by Disregard! I'll probably touch it up a little animation-wise and change up the camera work for the render, so expect this to look a bit different when completed. Alex has already animated a good portion of the intro, which means tha...

The alternative angles to the recently released animation are currently rendering, so here's a small first look at them. I've also taken the liberty to change the time of day to night and change up the scene lighting quite a bit!
Rendering of these will take a hot minute, which is why they probably won't be done until the end of the month. I'll however make sure to squeeze in another prev...

With the ongoing increase of production values with each new animation, it has become increasingly more difficult to produce these things on my own. This has manifested in constantly rising production times in especially the more recent animations, which didn't only make use of a modern rendering pipeline, but also significantly improved on the character models, their rigs, and their animation....

Here's an updated preview of the updated animation! Apologies in advance for the very incomplete sound. I know my sound designer is a bit further into it than what this preview suggests, but I didn't get him to send me an updated version yet. I admittedly forgot it's Easter and most people are spending their time with their family. Speaking of which, Happy Easter! :D

Rendering is still ongoing and currently at 3800 of roughly 6000 total frames, admittedly still lacking behind in progress a bit, which is mostly due to me having made the decision to re-render some previous shots. 👀
I was a tad unhappy with the previously shown lick sequence, which is why I partially rendered it again. I thought I went a bit overboard with the tongue displacement shad...

As promised, here's an early look at the upcoming animation! This preview is admittedly a bit rougher that usual and lacks sound, music, and a lot of post production, which is in part due to the render going quite a bit slow. The last 30 seconds are basically fresh out of the render rig and have literally been added in the last hour, which means that there's been no image treatment done for thi...

Oh well, I had actually hoped to be done with all the animation already at this point, but I'm somehow still posting playblasts as this thing becomes longer and longer.
Yet again, this spyglass scene was supposed to be a short, casual scene to transition into the animation's outro, but seeing how much longer this animation had already become I decided to expand this one as well and make i...

The feeding of our queen continues, this time a bit more sensual than last time around~!
This scene will be accompanied by a small cut that shows the inside of Chloé maw as she suckles on our protagonist's hand. I'm going to tackle this scene once the main animation is done however, which I'm estimating to be somewhere in February! At the moment I'm animating the last third of the animat...

Chloé continues with her instructions, though this time wants our POV protagonist to be a bit more sensual, which will lead to their hands getting stuck in her mouth, oh dear~!
This little bit of Chloé drawing her finger over her tongue wasn't actually in the script, but since the animation is turning out much longer than expected I've decided on adding a few more teasing bits here and ...

Even after all this time animating, I still get the occasional sequence I struggle with and in this case it was something rather simple like Chloé leaning herself down over the viewer. While I got it to look good in third person, it somehow looked off from the POV perspective. I was able to fix it by exaggerating the movements and making them a lot snappier, which in turn made it look weird in...

Looks like Chloe wasn't particularly happy being spied on, but finding a potential new admirer her anger vanishes rather quickly!
This sequence has admittedly taken quite some time getting right, mostly retiming things and making sure she isn't clipping through the tent. I actually had to make the tent a little taller since Chloe's nearly 10ft size was quite hard to cram in there, but luc...

First time I'm animating Chloé and it had to be a walkcycle, oof! Here's the very first playblast of Chloé Tease, the first animation that will feature our new anubian jackal!
The premise is fairly simple. There's a POV character spying on Chloé from a nearby cliff outpost. She'll be quick to realize she's being spied on, prompting her to do a *teleports behind u* and join the peeping ...

Took a little while longer, but the work on Chloé has finally been completed! I've used the time to make a couple of wallpapers to test out the model and its features, and see how her fur and materials react to various lighting conditions. The wallpapers were all rendered at 8K resolution and can be downloaded at the bottom of the page, just like Disregard's animation.
