Yesterday, I finished all the fluids! I think there's like, 70 different alembic bakes total throughout the animation. The ending bit where she [j]iz[z] is 8 different bakes, each with varying domain size/position... it's not great, and I wish I could make it better, but it just takes such a long time to bake and tweak things for fluids. So, once I get to "good enough' I don't want to mess around with it too much at the risk of spending more time and maybe ending up with a worse result in the end.
The material isn't perfect either, it's really hard to make good looking fluids in Blender's Eevee render... it's maybe a bit too opaque.
Also, I get some voice stuff back from the VA for the camera imp from the post credits scene! Suke Bancho reprises the role.

I did a viewport render with the look-dev view, but I forget I left the imp's jiggle meshes visible so it's a bit wonky looking (also, some parts he jiggles way too much, but I just need to adjust the influence of the surface deform modifier to fix that). Also, the egg juice was barely visible, so I've adjusted that. It's better in the second the attachment, that also has some WIP sound on it (which also has lighting similar to how it'll look when rendered, but I'm still deciding on the lighting...)
I think I'm on track to have this done pretty soon. I see the sound taking me a bit longer, though that's for the furniture noises and such. The juicy sounds are pretty quick to do since I have a ton of sounds already done and also finally got around to processing a couple other recording sessions I did last week.
Also, the last attachment, I wanted to see how the TV screen will look since I've barely even seen how the environment looks when close to rendered. I made it so, specifically, the viewer clearly sees it's the dragon and the toy in the bathroom.
It's not perfect, there's some stuff about it I don't like, but it's not bad I'd say for a 3:17 animation done in the amount of time it's been so far! Some of the stuff with the voice/timing I'd like to change, but it's very annoying redoing timing and inserting some more stuff for something this long when it's all a continuous shot. And I just want to wrap this up and get going on the glamor hole animation (idk if I mentioned why I call it "glamor hole" but it's because glory flags the post for being too explicit)
Anyway that's it for now!
