Woohoo! The animation hit 25 gb size... yaay! Tbh, this is way too high size for animation, and this is without fluid simulations. Usually, high-quality liquids take 200-400 mb per frame. Let's take 400 frames with liquids. simple math and we discover that only liquids will take another ~80-160 gb. Wow.
Now, let me take away my emotions and go into a more official and usual text style.
Another 30+ seconds of block-out. This fragment is huge and I was hoping that I'd be able to do it fully this week, but it took longer. The second part of this fragment will contain the deal between Hoodwink and tentacles, and some creatures on the surface.
Right now, I'm trying to make Hoodwink look angry, bored, and confused in some ways as she was fucked really hard in her mouth and now tentacles are just playing with her. Meanwhile, tentacles should look more "friendly". One of the tentacles will drag her backpack from the river in the pit to a sunny place so it will start drying. Overall they will try to calm her. As the dark figure in the backstory said, they are quite intelligent and will not kill their prey if it won't hurt them. That is the main reason why Hoodwink in the backstory saw a lot of bandits, knights, and people with armor and heavy weapons murdered mercilessly around these trees. Also, that's the reason why the dark figure visits them for fun sometimes. Yeah... intelligent tentacles, this is wild. I didn't see anyone making these filthy creations intelligent, so this is the first time you will see them. By the way, we always can just tell that it is Treant Protector just fooling with her.
After the last GIF, the main tentacle will decrease in size and loosen the grip on her neck, and she will try to scream, but right in moment she opens her mouth, she will hear the very loud roar of a dangerous creature at the surface. The main tentacle quickly shuts her mouth and tells her to stay quiet using gestures. After that, she will see wall tentacles that start to stretch to pit "entrance" forming a pit of sharp spikes. Seconds later, the camera will switch to her face (or one of her eyes) and she will see a large amount of creatures jumping across the pit. That should make her softer to the tentacles as they don't try to hurt her (let's not look at how her mouth was fucked, I know) but try to defend her from other dangerous creatures. Literally just to fuck her. After this, tentacles using gestures will try to make a deal with her. Or they will fuck her, or they will free her but let alone with a decent amount of dangerous creatures on the surface.
Now about my model, I stopped working on it to focus on this animation. I will continue working on the model after I finish this animation. The next CA7 WIP will be on this Thursday.
