Bronto toy renders + something extra(?)

My computer has been crunching away at the renders, they're getting close to being done! There's one thing I think needs to change though, originally the display the bronto looks at was in a position where this made more sense:

But now it looks more like he's looking at the painting! So I'll probably fix that and rerender the frames for that. I've attached the renders so far at half res and without the color/saturation adjustments (quicker to render the video that way for now).

I have to say I'm feeling good about how it all looks rendered. It's been a big help with moral, seeing stuff like this look all pretty finally!

One more thing, I wanted to do a post-credits bit... I recorded it and animated the lip sync, but I was on the fence about what to do with it, but finally an idea came to me and I've started it:

I thought it'd be fun if the green lil' dino fellow made another appearance, this time he's watching. The basics of it is we see the bronto's face, he says a line which is basically "thank you everyone" and then the camera moves down and shows his tailhole and the green dino stroking, then the orange dino's head pops out, then the green dino blows a sweet load on the orange dino's face, then the bronto sucks him back in.

Honestly seeing the animation looking nice and coming together has made me feel fired up! I made some more progress on the sound effects too, but still not quite ready to share that yet.

More soon!
