Closing on another release... (update 23/9/20)
Added 2020-09-23 21:40:49 +0000 UTC
Another week, another update, and still tentatively fingers crossed for before the end of the month for the next mini-episode.
What you see there is about 3min of the timeline as of right now. It has gaps, but at this stage we're down to basically 4 or 5 scenes left to do. Unfortunately, I've had to re-render quite a lot of stuff. For some reason, Kyn had some vertexes on his testicles grouped to his head fur group, so you got spaghetti fur every time his nuts moved. It took a while to notice that one and just as long to figure out where it was coming from. Also getting to grips with Library Proxies has not been smooth and has caused Efas breasts to be keyframed to jiggle, but then had another layer of jiggle auto-applied over the top making it go badly wrong. I have a habit of leaving scenes rendering overnight, so I get up in the morning to find the finished thing is ruined.
A - Needs fully animated. Complex movement and character interaction.
B - Already animated but shittily. It's in the fail video. This needs redone better but the existing one can be salvaged and tweaked.
C - Modification to existing loop with additional actions. The base stuff is in place, just need to animate the extras.
D - Additional cutaways to complete scene. Not started.
E - Alternative angle to go at around the 2:33 mark to hide where 2 parts got redone but leg positions no longer match. This is just adding a camera angle and rendering.
I estimate we're at about 90% done right now. This weeks excuse for slowing down is still the external work I've got to deal with but almost completed, and a nasty bout of food poisoning. Being honest, I want to get this whole episode completed, the next part done and out and the whole thing joined up because end of next month is Halloween and I can fairly confidently predict the direction the next vote will go, and the path for that one suits the time of year.
More updates as they come!
