"Tifa ordered every dirty cocktail in the book. Sex on the beach, Screwdriver, SuckBangBlow, you name it. She was dropping hints every time you fixed up another drink. To cap it off, you told her about the very special Happy Hour deal that takes place once all the other patrons depart."

Animation and sound by KawaiiDetectiveEnthusiast.

This was the first Blender animation I attempted where I wondered if I was going to have it ready in time to continue the next week's work without falling behind. I certainly failed. Using fluids for the first time and troubleshooting (thank you KDE!) took up a bulk of the time, combined with being dissatisfied with the camera angle and how the original fluids turned out. This led to re-rendering the whole thing from scratch which put me way behind as it's not a short animation.

When I thought on attempting Blender I promised myself I wouldn't make a habit of doing 5 second loops, as I feel they defeat the whole point of VR by removing immersion (unless they're so well done you can't tell they're a loop). Although it led to a very long two weeks stretch without a day off, I made it happen on time and to my own standard. I had to make a concession and pass on creating my own non-VR camera angle like I normally do. So there will be some differences in lighting and fluids between the non-VR and VR version.

Enjoy!
