Been polishing up the final two scenes. The juicy pull out and the final dialogue thing. The junk I manually animated, and it took a lot of fondling- I mean fiddling- (ha) with the balls to get it okay looking.

I've been trying to get more hyped about the glamor hole thing, but it's been a bit difficult because it's a lot more of the same. I was also thinking it'd be more tedious getting things a bit more polished but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
In the attachment, I've posted ...

This is a long one!
Finished the retopology and most of the rig (the texturing/material needs some more finesse though!).
Originally, I just wanted to move the bones around of the original rig and go from there, but there's just way too many bones to deal with and there were some thin...

I was kind of really not looking forward to this part of the glamor hole thing because in the previous iteration, I just really was unhappy with the animation overall, there was a lot of clipping that I already had like, 3 animation layers to try and compensate for... I just scrapped most of it a...

First of all, thank you everyone for voting and commenting! The feedback was really good! Some feedback that stood out was "bigger head" and "closer proportions to the sketch."
The issue with my sketch is that I'm not a great artist, so it's weird trying to match it exactly. The chest espec...

Here's the finished donut factory animation! Immense thanks to everyone for being patient with me with this one.
Nothing too special to say about the sounds. I recorded some sounds for this using a lemon juice bottle, but they didn't end up being as useful as I originally thought (still goo...

Finally, I'm ready to call this "done" after a lot of messing with the damn shirt, lots of corrective lattices and such to fix clipping stuff that were too tedious to try avoiding through the simulation.
I thought I had it done (the shirt before him taking it off) but I had to begrudgingly ...

Here's a little update on this one- I've been baking the fluids overnight for awhile now, and they were done the other night! Thank god for being able to pause/resume FLIP fluid sims...
So, I made a few minor adjustments to things and finished the environment. The yellow/black caution strip...

So I decided to make my life easier and have the triceratops take off the shirt. At first, this wasn't looking too good... I tried using a bunch of different colliders for the arms, hands and grippy part, then I made the hand colliders into "hooks" then I added more hooks around the parts of the ...

Added soft bodies to the triceratops (his butt, thighs, calf and triceps). This shot has so much going on, like there's cloth moving, some jiggle, fluid, it's a good opener I think!
I also began going through the 3rd scene (where he's like "there's someone on the other side!?") and it neede...

The prettier part: the frames for the toying scene are all rendered! The attachment doesn't have sound (yet) but I'm quite interested in doing the sound for that while other stuff sims (like the final pre fluids)
Now, here's a useful technique for fixing cloth sims. For this motion, the tri...

The very first scene of this animation is the first time we'll ever see this triceratops hunk! First I decided to try simulating some pre[c]u[m], and got some pretty decent results. Good enough to go ahead with it, I think!
This was one of the first tries, which was pretty close to somethin...

I was thinking that the toy-using scene looked okay, but I gave it some more polish and interest. For example, when the dragon pulls off the toy, now you can see his hole! This is one of those things that having 24fps viewport playback when animating helps with... animating without having to rend...

I'll be honest with you, I have been so interested in how this would look, I have just been letting this simulate for most of yesterday and overnight again. One thing that sucks about sims (or maybe this is a FLIP/Blender issue) the RAM quickly fills up with stuff, until it's nearly full and the ...

I did some more stuff on the glamor hole thing. This is the scene immediately after the squirty part, and initially I was like "how can I spice this up a bit, beyond just trying to make the animation better?" and I thought, maybe the donut has some suction when the pelvis pushes up against it. I ...

Really wanted to have something like this done quickly and meant to make a post about it earlier, and it's actually quite far along, but it still needs a bit more time... this is another take on the donut creme idea, a bit more simpler.
There would be a neat, industrial sci-fi ish environme...

Edit: I've included a file without the animation. I figured it would be okay, since the animation layers add-on works using the NLA editor, and it should be removable by using the NLA, but just incase, I've uploaded one without the animation. I highly suggest using the animation ...

I started working on the next part, where it shows the dragon getting slammed. It still needs a bit of work, but it's coming along.
I was also testing the fluids and ran into a weird bug with alembic playback. When using alembics at a high frame range, it duplicates a frame every two frames...

But it looks fine enough when blurred and when a dragon is coveri...

Here's an even more *simpler* thing. This time, some POV AV. I'm *extremely* happy with how the tailhole looks all shaded and such. I'd like it to have somehow have the numbers involved, like maybe "20" is imprinted on his left cheek and "00" on the right.

I'm pretty sure this one is the longest shot in the thing. I've been chipping away at it, and the character movement is in what I'd say is a "good enough" state. I think it's time to either try working on the cloth sim, or move on to the next scene, which is where it shows the dragon from inside ...

The next bunch of updates for this project are going to be a lot of this- just more wip stuff like this.
