Animation length?

I was wondering what everyone thinks about longer animations vs. shorter ones. In some ways, I enjoy doing shorter ones more because I can finish them in a reasonable amount of time, which means moving on to something else to explore new ground and learn/improve faster.

But I also like work...

[UPDATED, audio should be fixed!] Glamor Hole 2 sound done and finished

EDIT: My apologies to anyone that was having problems with audio! I either forgot to check the audio codec or they changed the default one in the video editor in the latest version of Blender (used 3.3 this time). It was set to AC3 instead of AAC (which is the one I have been usi...

Glamor hole sound update

I've made a lot of progress on the sound, but the last couple days I've been burnt out over sound! It's a bit more daunting than I originally thought- would have been a good idea to do sound as I go.

I've attached the one scene I have that's pretty final (might make the triceratops' voice l...

Glamor hole final scene rendered!

Finally, everything is rendered! The last scene was a breeze since there's no fluid simulation. I did some minor touching up on the animation, added in the soft bodies, then rendered overnight.

There's a couple frames I spotted throughout the animation that need some re-rendering. This weir...

Glamor hole juicy pull out scene renders done

The fluid bake was done, I set the scene up with the environment, fixed a few things (had to use a lattice to correct some of the fluid on the tape, since that wasn't part of the fluid obstacles in the bake!) and let it render overnight last night and while out for a walk. Now it's done!

Ma...

Glamor hole scene 7 renders

These renders are done! I've attached the renders so far and just the renders of this scene by itself.

Now, I'm baking the final fluids for the next scene! There's not much else to say besides that...

Glamor Hole- Scene 8

I was working on the fluids for the 8th scene of this, and did some more work on the character animation. It was okay before, I thought it was pretty good, but since this is the last fluid heavy part of the animation, I want it to be really, really good. Finish *strong* you know? So I added a bit...

Glamor hole- shot 6 (and 7 wip stuff)

This particular sequence wasn't too bad to do the fluids, I tried to make them stick more on the body by using another mesh of the dragon as a force field and it... helped, but not like I would like.

There's still a lot to learn about what flip fluids can do. For example, I was messing arou...

Bronto strokin finished (fixed post)

Edit: fixed the stuff that I couldn't do on the app. The animation is now attached the post!

I got the sound done for this. I was going to record more voice stuff for this but I didn't get a good opportunity to do so (like it's weird when family is around and I'm almost never alone)

...

Update again!

The hurricane passed us yesterday, the power came back today (the awesome folks restoring power were all out of gum and kicking ass), and I've been working on some cool stuff! The images are some doodles and a pic of a hippo model I started on my laptop. That was as far as I got before the batter...

Quick post

So there's that major hurricane (Ian) coming, and in case it knocks out the power for a week (hopefully not that long or longer than that!), that's why there might be not as much stuff getting done. I mean, worse case scenario something more extreme happens, but I'm not counting on that.

I'...

[updated] Bronto solo strokin and squirtin (also Cycles)

Edit: I didn't think it would be done so quickly, but I let it render overnight and it was done! I've attached the final renders! No sound effects yet though. I'll be doing that after I get some fluid ready to bake for the next glamor hole scene.

I'm just about ready to start ren...

Glamor hole shot 4,5 rendered

Was planning on making this post earlier, but I had to re-render a couple things. But here's the 4th and 5th scene done! There's 3 more shots with fluids (one is rather short), and the final shot will only have soft bodies to bake. So we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've atta...

R'n'D rabbit hole post

I've been working more fluids for the glamor hole animation, and while waiting between baking and testing fluids, I've been exploring some different things. I've mentioned before about using AI to generate variations on images to help exploring designs for character heads (which I still have been...

Glamor hole scene 4 renders so far

Just wanted to share some of the renders for this so far, I really like how the jiggling looks!

(Unfortunately I did notice after taking this gif that I forgot to fix the jiggling object for the to...

Glamor hole scene 4 fluids

So, *extremely* great knews. I finished up the fluids for the 4th scene. The dragon's bepis fluids:

And the hole fluids as seen above in the top of the post. This is friggin sweet because I can get...

Bronto Egg laying finished

This really did took a lot longer than I was thinking, but I think it turned out quite nice! I've been pretty distracted the past few days messing around with AI art stuff. I'll write a detailed post about that at because it's really, really interesting and I'm super excited to keep messing with ...

Bronto egg laying thing rendering

I apologize for how long this dang animation has taken, if I would have known that the fluids would have taken so long to get setup then simulated, I don't think I would have done this to do a quick animation... But the fluids did finish baking.

Bronto egg laying (not done yet) and things update

I'm making this post for everyone in case I can't get this done in the next 6 days! Originally, I was thinking "eh this shouldn't be too difficult to simulate!" but I was extremely wrong because I've had to do a lot more testing/debugging and such for this and it took much longer than I originall...

Bronto series- egg fluids

This has been much slower of a process than I originally thought, animating the fluids for this... and it was really not looking too good, but over the last few days it's been shaping up.

(the dise...

Glamor hole- scene 3 renders

Finally, all the renders for this scene are done! There's a few errors on my part- I had to add a lattice to the dragon's tail hair to prevent it from clipping through the wall. I only turned it on when it looks like it needed it, but there were a few parts that needed it where it's turned off. S...

Glamor hole- 3rd scene test renders + fluids update

I forgot to make this post >_> The fluids were done a few days ago and I also did some test renders. I think this one in particular looks pretty nice! The

Bronto series, double ended

It took me awhile to figure out a good way to rig this thing, but I finally came up with a solution that works well for this situation.

The toy can be posed in a variety of ways, with the center kn...

Bronto series of things

First, thank you for voting in the polls and all the helpful comments! The results as of this post definitely lean more towards the rear end.

And there were a lot of good suggestions- s...

Glamor hole- 6 days later of fluid sim

The last post on this was July 27, and since then I've been letting the simulation go pretty much all day while working on other stuff, then when I'm asleep. Good news is right now, it's about 83% done! One reason why it's taken so, so long is because of having the shirt as a fluid obstacle for m...

Short bronto thing poll

While the fluids for the glamor hole thing are baking, I've been testing more poses for the bronto's redesigned model, fixing some things, did the tailhole rigging. I think it'd be cool to do something short and simple with the new model. But what should the focus be?

Glamor hole- hole fluid tests

Been animating and testing the fluids for this sequence. About 1774 (give or take) frames of this sequence will be part of the hole juice fluids (not to mention a bit of [j]izz from the triceratops' when he pulls out)... so, that's a lot of fluids. The viewport isn't the best way to visualize how...

The bowl boys (finished!)

The bronto and raptor are enjoying a nice day at the spa, hanging out in the lewd sauna. The bowls are provided for guests to release into. At times, there might be half a dozen or more guests in the lewd sauna! But in this case, it's only the bronto, raptor and their unseen friend who was ki...
