Hello! How was everyone's week? For me, this was another fast yet productive one!
I might be able to finish my new video very soon, finally! There's only one shot left to animate, then I need to build the audio for it and finish the visual effects...though I can't help myself and end up making them between animating the shots because I really want to see how it's going to look!
The audio's been taking a little longer because I need to record the cutscene it's based on again with only the sound effects on, and I have yet to do that. Since I'm not logging in everyday recently, when I do I forget to do that and go hunt some achievements instead (I've been influenced by Cider Spider's achievement hunt...I'm #314 in my server now! :P). But I'll do it soon. I did already download the music for it, and I already have a few of the voiced I'm planning to add, but I didn't start putting it together yet.
I also decided to add part of the envinroment to two specific scenes! I have some Elpis flowers here that raise render times considerably. The Benchmark kinda ruined our current grass for me now, but it's fine. I wonder if the flowers would really stay white with these two so close together...maybe a light pink? I was considering changing the colors during this part, but I tested it out and it didn't fit the timing of the animation. It would be cute, though!
Speaking of the benchmark, I didn't even think of that, but I'd have to update the textures, and potentially the models!!! Did YoshiP say they raised the polygons of character's fingers?! That would be the best update ever. I know modders are already figuring things out with the benchmark, and it's good to know most things will keep working as usual, but I wonder how much better I can make the animations look. July will be a busy month!
The shot left to animate is the one I consider the hardest, and there's something I want to do in it, too. In my Awakening G'raha Tia video, I managed to make Lizard cry, and I want to do that...it's been a while and I don't know if I remember how I did it exactly, but that's why it will be good to do it again. And of course I will show it in a video in case anyone wants to do it too!
This is the shot. Usagi is there as a reference on the type of face I want to make here now!
I still need to work on my sunday video (that just a heads up, I might be a little late with it, sorry in advance!), and then if everything works out, next WIP update might be animation release instead?! I hope so! I need to think of what the next one is going to be soon...and with that, I'll go back to animating.
Thank you for your support!
