WIP WIP WIP stuff!

I've got this animation blocked out, there's some really rough parts to it that I don't want ...

Bathroom (and failed WIP)

So I decided to go ahead with the bathroom idea, but in a limited scope.

I lit, textures and added some graffiti to this bathroom. I couldn't think of a different scene that wouldn't require ...

New scales and lip sync test

I tried to make a procedural material that had a variety of skin texture to it and something that breaks up the specular part of the material in an appealing way. This is a bit of complicated material setup that would be kind of boring to explain (unless you all want that!)

But the id...

Hair!

I've added hair along the back, fixed a couple things, redid the tail hole a bit, added a tongue and started working on face controls.

I find this method, while using a lot of bones, is the best way to get very precise control over how the eyelids move across the eyeballs (each bone c...

WIP + joint problems (on the model, not me!)

I've been trying to figure out the best topology to fit the dragon's pose range. I want a balance between something humanoid and something feral. I redid the shoulder and chest area's topology and the deformation is better, but it still has some problems! One of the difficult parts of modeli...

WIP dragon update 2!

I began with a sketch of a the side view of the body:

I didn't do a front view because... I kind of already knew it would look crazy so I didn't even attempt to draw it >_>

Dragon Head WIP1

Last night and today I've worked on the dragon's head! I think I got pretty close to the energy of the sketch.

I kind of originally imagined a like, red/orange firey dragon. But as I was doing some vertex painting, I thought maybe he's a dark element dragon or something. Here's the viewport:

Final preview!

Update: moved image into post body.

I think now, the sound and such are quite acceptable. Next, I'll be putting everything into the real scene, though I'm going to try a couple different moods. Like maybe it's dark, and the bronto has color changing RGB lights :p or it's sunset/sunrise...

Various egg shots

Update: moved images into post body.

Various tests and such of the egg + fluids. He's <...

Next Animation Poll 5: Kobold

The most enjoyable and productive part of animation is waiting for a simulation, it's not good, changing one tiny thing and doing it all over again! ... said no one :p

In the mean time I've been doodling some ideas for a kobold character for the next animation. Which do you like the most? <...

Fluids!

I'm pretty excited about something I figured out! One of the big issues with the Flip Fluids blender add-on is that drivers don't affect anything on it- I use drivers a ton for things. For example I use bone scale and drivers to determine what objects the tailhole should be shrink wrapped to...

Wip fluidy

I might hold off on using fluids for another time, if I can't get the result I really want tonight >_> I think this is getting closer, but fluids are a bit difficult to work with, since they're simulation...

I think the sound helps it a bit, but idk. I'd really like some @nal_jui...

Update to tiers

I've gone and update the tiers. This doesn't affect any current patrons! I've unpublished the dollar slice tier and renamed it "Legacy dollar slice." Originally, the dollar slice tier had access to WIP content, finished stuff and voting in polls (The legacy dollar slice remains this way).

I've decided to make these benefits apply to a new, $2 tier. I've been meaning to do this for some ti...

Brontosaurus and Raptor model downloads

Here's the brontosaurus and raptor models isolated. I don't know why they're so large in file size though! I took them from the main character animation file I have because I made some changes to ...

Furniture sounds

I added in fabric rustling sounds, some couch thumps and wood creaking sounds. The furniture I was recording with isn't as creaky as I'd like, so... I found some CC0 sounds to use. This sound:

I added a bit more shlop-like sounds and also ga...

Next Animation Poll 4: Dragon Head

I felt so inspired to draw some dragon heads to hold a poll with! I couldn't focus on my assignments... so I drew a bunch of dragon heads! I tried to get a couple different feels, but all pretty smug. Some more plain, some with more embellishments.

Probably best to get this up sooner than later, ...

Next animation: Scenario suggestions w/ dragons

So far, we've decided on feral dragon x bipedals, with the dragon bottoming. I did ask for suggestions previously, but I'd love to hear your ideas for a scenario involving a bottom feral dragon and a couple top bipedal boys.

I've had a couple patrons suggest that I do something similar to a thing I did for the game I was working on:

Next animation poll #3: Sizes

I've been dying to make this poll, so I went ahead and did it! Here's some size ideas.

Designs aren't final, but this is to get a scale of the characters. Though, I kinda like how the dragon turned out :p

A lewd idea >~>

I had an idea that got me quite hot and bothered! I've had this picture of two big long neck dino boyfriends in my mind for awhile... ever since making the first bronto!

In my mind, in the dinosaur part of society, it's common for herbivore dinosaurs to have plenty of partners. One kind of 'main" partner, their significant other, but also friends who they do fun things with.

Like, i...

~Thanks posting~

Man I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support. I can't believe how things have blown up recently.

As part of the frozen pizza tier, I ask patrons for permission/what name they want to use in the special thanks. I haven't re-rendered the thanks part for the final version of the AV animation yet because since the last one I did, there was a bazillion more people. But these are j...

First sound pass (and some physics baked)

Since the animation aspect is very near being done (I still need to change the lip sync where he says "so warm" as originally, I had him saying something longer, but I felt like just having him say "so warm" works better)

I don't have anything visually new to show, as it's just been a lot of chopping up the sounds into individual parts which took... a long time >_> I recorded more m...

Voice tests, sounds stuff

There's gonna be some attachments- 2 voice tests and 2 recording previews.

The sound tests are awkward- it's *just* the voice, no plaps/squish/sploops/whatever sounds. Those sounds will be added after I've finalized the animation. For those sounds, it's better, performance wise, to do those without blender being bogged down by a 3d scene.

For the voice, it has to be done with the 3...

POV animation update

I've blocked out the whole animation and all that will happen- I was able to animate the POV insertion part successfully:

This is kind of funny though, since I'm only animating what the camera sees (in first-person-shooter vision), I only animate the body a bit. You'll see something that makes se...

Head

Animations of the logo head! I had a good time animating these :p

I'm not sure yet how much this would add to an animation, the head logo thing animating on the bottom left, but it'll be a fun experiment. I'll be rendering the frames to easily to just, place in Blender's video editor where I'd like the animation to change...

So for example, when the raptor is put into the bronto's h...

POV WIP post

This is a pretty rough preview of the POV animation. I'm mostly focusing on blocking things out, getting the eggs to not have clipping problems, though the end isn't in yet. That is, if I get the POV insertion looking good :x not sure about it yet, but I'll try my best!

Pretty much everything before frame 2434 (except for the very beginning, where the animation is from the original, non-P...

POV sound test (really wip)

This is a quick sound test with some sounds I captured originally for the lil' dragon sound test from a bit ago. It's a combination of various sounds: food, non-food, and flesh light sounds, including stirring some home mode macaroni and cheese (I make a very thick cheese sauce from butter, sour cream and a TON of cheddar cheese and when stirring the noodles in, it sounds quite... lewd squishy)...

POV test!

A lot of new patrons here, thank you so much for joining~

As you may/may not know, before starting the new animation, I said I'd do a POV take on the bronto/raptor animation. I had several people request it and it seemed like a good idea to experiment with a few things I've wanted to try out.

Initially, I wasn't sure if this would work too well. But I did a couple tricks and kind of...

Next animation Poll 2: Dragon top or dragon bottom?

So, it seems that seeing feral dragon on bipedal fellows is the hottest in demand! Thank you to everyone who voted- 57 is a lot of votes!

My question is, do you want to see the dragon topping or bottoming? I personally, and this is just what I fancy a lot, enjoy the idea of a feral dragon bottomi...
