Morrigan Animation
Added 2021-02-01 04:37:05 +0000 UTCI just managed to sneak this one out for January. I started it late in the month, so I wasn't sure if I could do it in time. The animation actually went really smoothly. I've made note of all the things I need to update for the model. The majority of fixes come down to weight painting issues for the clothes.
Rigid3D also further improved the shaders for the model.
Mega (optimized file size)

So the new Mega works properly, no stuttering and the sound comes though , could even hear that on the first mega upload, as such a little bit more feedback. So the face issue now I can see it in a proper speed and size. As for sound, that is indeed a cost, hopefully as you do more of the big projects with sound you will get some audio assets built up for the characters used.

2021-02-02 04:21:20 +0000 UTCFor the Mega upload, it may have to do with the larger file size or conversion. You see, I had trouble rendering this as a portrait animation with my normal editing program, and I might have messed up the settings in trying to make it work vertically. I can tell something is different at least because the file size is way higher than usual. I've added a new upload to the post, try to see if that helps. As for the animation, I tried to go for a more subtle approach. Perhaps a bit too subtle. Since I can't really afford a voice actress on every animation, I only had a narrow range of audio to work with from the game itself. I'll admit the audio isn't ideal. My other worry is that I don't want to overdo experessions for a short loop. Since it's going to repeat so often, I don't want too wide of a range or it'll look awkward rather quickly. That said, it is possible her base expression itself is too neutral.

Morrigan over all looks a bit static in the face area though, not sure if she is meant to just look board and unpleased but thats the impression her face give.
