Sorry again
Added 2021-07-29 20:22:02 +0000 UTCLast post, I mentioned that I had been working on other stuff which wasn't good enough to upload. Well, since then I tried something else as well, but again it doesn't feel good enough to take any further at the moment. So, I figured that seeing as I've been doing a shit job of putting up content lately, I'd at least let you see the shitty stuff I've been hiding, so I present to you:

This one is the Wolf and Efa again, I was trying out an ending scene, but couldn't figure out how to loop it, and no matter how I keyframed it, he was always just a bit too stiff and robotic. Which in retrospect means I should have made a robot wolf so at least there was an excuse. Anyway, the base movement is just bad. It was going to get more stuff moving to make it all flow nicely, but you need to nail the base motion, and I just couldn't.

This one was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to have something sexy but not massively explicit. Fabric is still awful to work with though. I actually have some ideas on improving and extending this to make it maybe work, but I'm keeping my focus on the next episode. It's taken far too long now.
On that note, I've added another 40s of rendered footage to it, and I think it's getting close. So, here's a breakdown.
1) Finish up explosion scene by redoing explosions and rendering scene
2) Current scene - Effects heavy, but the effects are 95% done, just got to animate the characters
3) Next scene - Quick shot, aftermath of 2). Got the shot planned in my head, and kind of looking forward to doing this one.
4) Character introduction. I've had this scene planned for a year now. I know where this needs to go. Just needs one character rigged.
5) Ending scene. Needs 1 character modelled, textured, clothed, furred and rigged. 2 characters textured, clothed, furred and rigged.
I'll be honest, it's already close to the 5min mark. I suspect it might hit 7min before the end.
Plans for this next week? I missed the 1 year anniversary of being homeless and in a van. It was the 4th of July, so nearly up to 13 months now. Weekend looks wet, so hopefully get a bunch animated, cos there's not much else to do in crap weather. Want to at least get 2) completed by the end of the weekend. Bonus if I can render it too!

I also rebuilt the wall behind my passenger seat today. Took it out, built a better doorway into the cab, and started onshelving behind the seat. Then put privacy frosting up on the window my PC is in front of and redid my curtain rails. Now I'm working on animating. The secret is not sleeping much.

2021-07-31 21:18:55 +0000 UTCThanks for putting up the WIPs, even the rough stuff is interesting because it gives a peek behind the curtain. For the Wolf/Efa one, I can see a little stiffness in Efa, if I'm interpreting this right. If this is meant to be a short ending loop to fade out on, perhaps she could just have her hand behind the wolf's knot and move with his actions? Could also just have Efa leave her mouth open more instead of finding a way to smooth out that big 'gasp,' maybe? The sitting fabric one is fantastic, I really love that idea. And while the fabric isn't perfectly realistic, I think it's very good for a simulation, each step looks like a natural result Huzzah for more progress on the main series! Sounds like you know where you want to go with the remainder, and that's always helpful. I'm still amazed that you're able to put up anything while living out of a van, working full time, and helping with a roof to boot!

2021-07-31 20:54:13 +0000 UTCI would like to do a full animation eventually. So they are a bit of both. At the moment they are just standalone concepts, but I have a sort of plan for how to do the full thing. I'm happy to put them out as vignettes until I can do a full thing. Fingers crossed, I think the Efa/Kyn story has probably got about 5/6 episodes left, and I can go to work on other stuff for a while. That's not to say I'm dropping them, but I do want to take a break before going back to them once their first story is wrapped, which will give me time for more projects. In the end, I know most people want the porn, not the story, so I'll need to balance things a bit better. That said, once Kyn and Efa are wrapped up for now, it should be in a more stable position for continuing with them. Right now, they're experiencing mild peril, which generally doesn't mix well with the porn side of things, but I would like to get them back there before the end of this 'Season'.

2021-07-31 11:58:38 +0000 UTCyou going to finish those wolf animations or just leave them as tests and proof of concepts? cause the premace for both looks way too good for you to just stop at test.
