Glamor hole- hole fluid tests

Added 2022-07-27 06:50:37 +0000 UTC

Been animating and testing the fluids for this sequence. About 1774 (give or take) frames of this sequence will be part of the hole juice fluids (not to mention a bit of [j]izz from the triceratops' when he pulls out)... so, that's a lot of fluids. The viewport isn't the best way to visualize how the hole juices will appear, so I rendered a prettier version of some of it.

(the cube is the boundaries of the fluid)

I think this looks nicer, but the fluid appears to be too thin with some shading on it. I probably should have done a prettier render like this earlier to find this out, but didn't because it looked like it would be fine in the viewport... lesson learned!

So, I'm going to simulate a section with higher viscosity fluids.

This one scene, the longest scene in the entire animation, is pretty nuts I'd say! About 2300 frames of a single, continuous shot with softbody, cloth and fluid simulations. A very complex one for me that I was kind of afraid wouldn't come together nicely, but this fluid pass (the final step before rending it) is a good indicator that it should shape up to be something pretty nice.

Also, while that was going on, I improved the balls animation on the scene after this, that shows the dragon getting smashed. It's an improvement, not perfect, but fine enough.
