New Background!

So, I could not get too much work on animation done today, as I had planned, I had people about. I'm usually doing something on the weekends.

But, when there are people over, nothing stops me from making new locations and plants!

I always try and do something useful with my time.

So I got a few things working...

Getting close to making the first loop, not too much longer before I have some animation ready to Render! (I'd better make sure my background is golden!)

But While adding a little cloth sim to parts of the gryphons feathers, I came to a realisation! I can use the shrink wrap modifier to mak...

Been hard at work, and I'm liking whats come out.

I'm working on the 'start' and the gryphon is not enjoying himself.

Poor birb

I've spent most of the day making passes on the first few seconds of animation, as having a gryphon struggle in pain, due to a dragon in the butt, is kinda complex.

Not too much more to do, ...

I think we make a cute couple.

'Or we might, if the gryphon was willing in the first place.'

So its all come together at last! Now I just need to make a good three point lighting set up, to make sure you can see what is going on, then make a few tweaks to the barn.

Then animate it all, I have a plan for ...

Quick Update, the feathers are fine.

Ignore the odd pose, and lighting issues, I just wanted to show you, the feathers on the gryphon are ok.

I had an empty that added turbulent wind, for some odd reason, it was also change the direction of all the hairs particles in the scene. Hence the messed up result.

I ca...

Guess who gets to redo all of the gryphons feathers? (Its me!)

The all the hair info seams to have gotten corrupted, probably due to this guy going into a newer version of 2.8.

But this is ok, I can fix this easily enough, On the bright side, the gryphon will pay for it!

I would have probably discovered and fixed this over t...

Im, Really proud of this one! (Wing Physics!)

So, the last real step before starting the animation, was getting the wings ready, no problem! 

Is what I thought.....

Holy hell, the wings where a waking nightmare. I know how to get them done now, but I crammed for two days trying to figure this out! 

Turns out I had...

So I have done some work on my rig.

Its a little more advanced now, still more to do.

But right now, my mission is to wrap this up, and start work on the next animation!

A lot of the new stuff here is custom bone shapes, as well as a new rig for the spine, hands and jaws.

I just have to finish up the wi...

Rigs Built! (But do I apply it yet?)

I have done the rig for my dragon, now all I would have to do is parent the mesh to it, and start making tweaks and fixes.

Buuuuut, I also have a tutorial on how to rig properly, and I want to watch that, and follow along with my dragon.

I thank learning to make a better ri...

Uv's Unwrapped! Textures, Done!

Ok, now all I have to do with this guy is rig him. Then a certain gryphon is in real trouble.

The lighting in this scene is carried over from an old animation, and I think it is a bit off. 

However, if the dragon's texture still proves to 'shiny' in the future, it will be easy to...

Well that took a long ass time.

So I have finally gone and retopoligized my dragons body mesh. The wings, nearly killed me.

But it's done now, all I have to do, is uv unwrap it, then add textures. 

Once that is done, do up a new rig, and we are cooking baby!

I'll have to do something...

Still making changes

Ok, I made a few changes to the dragons junk, and I think I looks a lot better than before.

Thanks for the feedback,  Kat Draco.  Among a few others. Feedback is good.

Dragon Upgrades

Ok, so the first two images here are of the dragons new junk, on the old base model. I have also gone and fixed his feet, and the claws on his wings. 

I also slightly changed the shape of his head, but you will probably not notice.

I'll have to do retopo on the whole model tomorr...

(Poll Result!), it looks like I'm going to have to hurt a certain gryph

By far the most voted animation idea was, dragon rapes gryphon!

So I have started work on upgrading my dragon model. I was going to completely remake this character from the ground up, by doing a gnomon workshop tutorial, and then using what I had learned.

But that was a li...

Next animation! (Voting Poll!)

Depending on what you pick, I will first need to work on one of the characters, make it look better. Then also work on the rig.

My only "up to code" characters right now are my gnoll, raptor, and gryphon.

All the other ones need a bit of work. I'll have to work on a charact...

Gnoll Gives Gryphon a Blowjob

GnollGivesGryphonABlowjob is the name of the file.

This took a long ass time, but it is ...

About 200 frames left to go...

I was really hoping to upload everything tonight, but It looks like it's going to have to wait until morning.

But Its not all bad news, I get a few tutorials for crazy cheap on udemy. Some $200 worth for about $30, I'm have no complaints there.

That main tutorial I am excited about, i...

Almost there, You can take a look for yourself.

This is a link to a folder in my google drive, it contains all my animations, and some tests also.

But the file...

Animation is close to ready!

And I have made a patreon banner, that will go up at the end!

I have posted the names of all voting teir ($5) and above patreons on it. 

(As well as others who have really gone above and beyond to help me with my smut making)

I was going to add everybody, but much to my sur...

Seams like I'm in the all clear. (So its right back to work!)

So I had to go to a friends and wait this thing out over the weekend, but it looks like is all over now. (There was a fire near to the town I live in)

At the very least, the town is now safe.

So now I am getting right back to work, I'm going to finish this animation already dammit! 2019-09-09 02:15:12 +0000 UTC View Post

So far so good...

Ok, so the fire has been "upgraded" to watch and wait. So basically I have to have my stuff packed, so I can leave in a few minutes if I'm told to get out.

Anyway!

The good news is the new computer is a total beast, and has finished rendering the loop for me, and...

Ok, so there is a small chance I may be told to evacuate.

An area near me is on fire right now, I know, heavy bummer.

(Its like a 10 min drive, so its not super close.)

It's been handled for tonight I'm told, but the worry is tomorrow it might get out of control due to how hot it will get during the day.

(On the bright side,...

New Computers a beast!

I have just finished the next part of the animation, and now I'm about the render it overnight, and into the next day as well. I can keep rendering while I make the finish!

It will not be long before this animation is ready, and about time too!

Thanks so much for all your patience so ...

Two computers make a tiny Render Farm!

Ok, so I let my computer render away while I put this new computer together, I got all the parts for it just today!

This is all thanks to  Dbl Helix!

This computer has no way to access my internet yet,...

Animation Preview Clips are up!

Rendering Overnight, Will post what is ready in the morning.

Ok, as promised, I am rendering as much of the anal section of the animation as I can for you guys to see.

I've had to lose the render progress once, due to issues with the gnolls hair, and that sucked, but at least the gnoll hair is now playing ball.

(Due to this, there will not be a...

Case Post, as promised.

Almost all the parts are here, the rest of the PC is still in the mail, but the tracking number assures me it is very close, it may very well arrive tomorrow.

Then I'll just put it together and do some tests. 

I can use my laptop as the job master when I want to use both these ma...

Animation is coming along nicly!

My renders are starting to catch up with me though, But I have gotten the hardest part of the animation done. (The anal part at least!)

(The very start, it has a bit of grinding before the gryphon finds his mark.)

I don't think I will have this out before the month ends, but qual...

Sick Parts Bro!

So, I haven't gotten too much done over the weekend, But I am putting in a little work where time permits.

Anyway.

Some of the parts for my new computer have arrived. Sure, it's not exactly joining the master race level stuff, but It doesn't need to be.

The case I have ordered a...

So I'm looking to make a render farm! Also anal!

I finally have something new to show you guys, I have gotten some poses down for the next part of the animation. (This pose still needs a lot of work, the wings mostly)

Anyway! My computer is only able to get roughly two or so seconds of animation rendered overnight, in roughly 1...
