Happy holidays everyone.
A quick update on the state of things. While real life issues still have a very noticeable impact on productivity decent progress was made, especially during November and December. Really wish this inconsistency would finally end but ultimately, it's one of those things that's outside of our control and we just have to push through it. Hopefully next year will be ...

DOUBLE UP (New Released Short)
A short animation initially intended as a test to see if it'd be possible to animate liquids the way they were done for static images before. To avoid pesky and time-consuming simulations. Grew up into a full short, with sound and other bells and whistles.
Additionally, it's a test for allowing us to produce 60fps animations going forwar...

Updated the bathroom scene to look less like a barren desert, including select original meshes to better match Ellie's specific bathroom layout.
Random pose variations. No facial animation yet, so same facial expression across the board for now.

Sincere apologies for lack of news lately. Health issues since late December made it near impossible to spend more than 10 minutes in front of a PC, but it's dealt with now. At least to a degree where some solid work can be done in a single session.

All that's left is facial animation and lighting!

Animation work is well under way. Louis' bathrobe had to be done from scratch since none of the available resources were suitable enough. Worth it for the best physics sim quality too! Violet will be occupying the couch in the background, absent in this preview for now.
TWD characters won the latest survey, which means their specific appearances, outfits and scene will require some touchups. For fresh looks and variety.
Clem's long(er) hair, it's physics and potential outfit.

2022-09-30 00:46:57 +0000 UTC View PostTHIRST UP - LIGHTING CHANGES
It turns out the lighting setup from a previous pose didn't carry well at all into this one. Since this segment's animation is mostly complete (barring some secondary animations), previewing it became a constant eye sore due to the harsh lighting. Hence this new update showcasing some of the lighting changes being iterated on so morale stops ...
Hey folks.
Sorry for no news lately. IRL issues were taking a toll which resulted in limited productivity, among other aspects. Thankfully things are improving and we're ramping back up to proper daily productivity levels.
Jessie's on our standardized rig now, so no more time wasted on sculpting corrective shapes for every pose every time. Facial m...

CLEM / LOUIS ANIMATION
Last and this month was dedicated to this one. The final to-do list consisted of small fixes and tweaks, which is done. Sound is complete, jiggles are simulated, off to the render stage now- And rendered frames are busted. Left breast cache refused to animate. Noticed too late and now have to re-render it all. Fun times. Release should be soon if that ...
Based on the character surveys, we've gone with these two characters for updating to the new universal character rig system that we've been dedicating time to.

This month was spent mostly tackling a question of how to arrange character rigging in a most effective way. Using other people's releases is great until a point where we have to deal with inconsistencies between rigs and how well they're built overall.
So a decision was made t...

Skin deformation and physics test. Took some time to make it behave right but ultimately worth it not having to think about body looking too rigid during the whole 3 minute runtime of it. Please don't mind clipping at places.
