Tifa and paya works, workflow changes and Movie rendering

Tifa VR collection - Tifa Standard - Paya 1080p / 4k  - Archive

This is the VR version of the movie I prepared along with dark dreams, a standard view version has been included as well.

              Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted recently. I had a 2 minute lux work that I was gearing up to render and post earlier this month however I couldn't get her hair to render correctly using the particle system. Many frames fluctuated between 1 min to 36 hours, I got really fucking tilted and stopped animating for a few weeks to really try to self reflect on some things going forward. Right now I am rendering the Tifa movie I just finished and I have several other works that are either setup or partially done that I will be releasing in the coming weeks. 

It's been  a full year from now since I've started blender and while I've learned a lot, some things just aren't working out. In regards to my workflow I've been operating under a framework as if I still using SFM where I would animate an entire movie then  render it out and clean up all the scenes consecutively. However doing that leads to horrendous view-port FPS and file sizes as a project gets larger, a problem I never really dealt with in SFM. Say if I am animating something set to 30 fps and I am getting 20 fps on View-port performance, I would need to compensate and animate 1/3 longer than I normally would. Any lower and things get really unstable, here is an example.

This particular Tifa video I've probably spent as much time fixing as animating, it's burning me out and I can't operate like this anymore. I want to have the clearance I used to have when I first started animating so I've restructured the way I am going to work. I've come up with several different ways to adjust my workflow both performance wise as well as content structure. I'll keep it at that since it would take me another 3-4 paragraphs to get everything across. However, One of my bad habits is I won't post something unless I have two works ready, going forward I am just going to release what I have.

This video will finish rendering in probably a week or so, it's several thousand frames each at a little over a minute. I might have redo one shot but for the most part it's all finalized. Once this is released I am going to animate and finish some of the other things I've worked on the side and start posting on twitter again. To list a few I got Lux (Need to rework parts) Midna, Bayonetta, Juri han, Velma (from SD) my OC shortstack goblin and a few others. Quite a bit, some setup and a few halfway done. 

That's all for now. I am going to be busy tomorrow but I'll be around in discord on Tuesday and so forth as I wait for this render to finish. If you have any questions message me on discord. Anyways thank you for your continued support, I promise to start rapidly release content sometime next month once this render finishes. Thanks for reading and hope you have a good week.

P.S. Gonna do a big survey for all relevant series you would like to see animated. Positions, kink, characters ect. once this movie is released.
