I can't believe I actually hit this goal tonight.
Like I thought this would take a 2nd day!
Maybe I CAN animate this by the end of the month.
Although Makoto vid would need to get there too.
Boy. I got work to do. But it's excellent that i'm hitting where I plan to!
Remastered Edit:
1. Fixed her neck!
2. So when I worked on this speedrun, I wondered what exactly I was missing as Tae's general skin looked kinda lifeless to me.
I saw a post by EXTRATHICC on Twitter with quite a bit of colorful skin tone in the 3d anime face and asked how ...
And now the tricky part. Make a short video for her by the end of this month to release on Patreon.

Despite a bunch of weird parenting issues with that motorcycle, I was able to get the blocking for the last part done!
Lately I've been far less reliant on motivation to keep me going with a project. Inspiration is great for starting a project, but not finishing them. So I'm focused now on...
As we can see, my retrowave coloring is out in force tonight.
So Part 4's environment is gonna be a bit crazy, but also split up in levels rather than as 1 whole connected thing. I'm testing if this can make the city feel huge without it actually being that way.
It will als...

The ending to this was a massive teacher on learning RBD Labs.
I hit quite a few roadblocks, but I got through it and now I think I have MUCH more of a handle on destruction stuff in Blender.
What has surprised me though is that Unreal Engine 5's framerate tanks when the destruction play...
I am moving away from long-form videos to be able to spend more time on my animated show, Reus Vanguard.

MAN this shot. I gotta try this again in the future when I learn more about doing these destruction simulations!
Hopefully with less fps sinking!
And maybe plan ahead better where the invisible wall doesn't hold onto any floor chunks. Surprisingly looks meh, but it's ok for now. Gotta keep ...
Edit: WOW I was tired! Part 3, I meant part 3!
I apparently didn't keep track of my mom's birthday today, but I snuck a bunch of animation work for Makoto vid part 3.
(Will have to rectify relation tomorrow with her)
It's close to done animation wise, but still stuff to do here and...
Alright. This part took a long time due to my diet but I believe i've solved everything as this is like the 2nd week in a row where I can't sleep because of too much energy and it rocks! Let's get started!

I've been dealing with low energy issues all year so this part was being done like 1-2 hours at a time each stream. Which totally sucked!
Found out it was my fasting diet and not the myriad of other irl issues.
So NOW I can get back to enjoying working on stuff for more than 2 hours at a...
Let's start with the vibe of this video. It's gonna be VERY different than all of my previous with setting place within the Metaverse in Persona 5. On top of that, I wanted to mix in Daredevil, Sifu, and...

WHEW!
I know there aren't any particles or FluidNinja at this time but these final weeks were battling for destruction effects in Blender.
They look fantastic every time but sometimes the setup doesn't make sense. Like a bottle will break perfectly, but the railing will crash it or disappea...
3 bloody days of trying to figure this out, but finally the results are looking like what I wanted. RBD Labs usage will get more advanced through each part and it ALREADY does what Chaos can't here. Which is how the wood twists off rather than just BLUAGHHHHS off the rail because of a proper cons...

10/31/22: Still a Jack-O Soundless to finish
I've been working on the Unreal Engine porting of the environment and destruction and Jack-O's hair all weekend. My god she has a lot of hair.
But i'm nearly done. Once I get the hair done for the last part, I can start exporting and doing ...

Youtube is taking awhile to process this, but VR was about downloading it anyways.
This is 360 Monoscopic vr and I tested it working in DeoVR. (Which crashes a lot now, yikes. Maybe I should get that desktop vr thing on Steam)
With this finished, now I gotta get to work on the VR version!
Idk about you guys, but I don't think i've seen enough first person gts videos near anything like this! I gotta start adding consistent side characters and crowds in the future because those streets are looking empty. All in goo...

It's done. Just woah, what!?
The main video is... DONE!?
So the timer can start and I gotta get to work on finishing the other versions!
First Person and VR!
I also finally found a technique for grabbing all patron names in the relationship manager. Just scroll select dir...

Now everything is put together! I can get to doing sound using the correct frame-rate and timing with the double-shots added in.
The next time I go back to render will add screenshake, fix 1-frame blur transitions, 4k, and add in the high tier patron names!
Fun fact, the heel growth s...

Today didn't go as planned at all so I took some time to do a bit of camerawork for the double-shots of Beidou. There's quite a few!
The under-the-heel growth shot is recently inspired by my hangouts in Neos VR. (Way better than VRChat in terms of size fun) And MAN does it work wonders here...

I never thought I'd see the day to get to this point. Many failures, burnout, questionable and inconsistent Chaos destruction physics/research, new rebuilding buildings techniques, creating a wire cutting technique that totally shouldn't be used for the future since it's too complex, working on a...

Still gotta get to facial expressions, but yeah. Definitely more to go back and polish.

After 8 hours of straight work, I am very tired.

With the recent beginning extension, i've added a few more clumsy interactions.
Some stuff inspired by Bowsette and others like that one Gts jeans commercial where she walks through the wires.
MAN, I should learn to draw with a dedicated focus. Maybe later.

I blame Markopolo13056 for planting the seed in my head of Beidou getting thrown out of a bar with the beer. And then I was thinking of how she could interact with things as she grows and here we are. Thankfully all of the destruction is tied to the cache so it's VERY easy to move the timing of t...

I wanted to post this as an update I worked on over the weekend.
I kept trying to get the box collision to do destruction but they just don't apply any damage to crack anything. So the best solution is to use a field to blow up the area THEN collision boxes will KINDA work. I've figured it'...

MAN is all this destruction interaction a LOT of work!
