WIP #43: The Bunny's Back, Babey! (Part 4)

Hey Y'all! It's time to check back in with the girls in everfree forest and see how they're getting on... Things have been really cooking!

First up, I'm sorry it's been... holy cow, almost six months since the last update on this project! Thankfully, that's not because things have been at a standstill - I've been steadily working on it since mid-may after I took a bit of a break to catch up on everything else. So this is going to be a bumper one! In retrospect delaying the release date has been great, since it's given me time to really focus on making the more ambitious parts work, and I thank you all for your patience as I've been working on it!

So what's been going on? A big part of the last few months has just been rendering - (and a fair bit of re-rendering), including alternate angles and a lot of loops - like for example, those lovely full nelsons now have three angles each!

I've also got renders done now (or mostly done) for some animations that were voted on all the way back this time last year!

It's hard to estimate at this stage due to the relatively freestyle nature of the "script", but we should be coming up on "halfway done" in terms of fully rendered results soon. Of course, that means the project as a whole is significantly more than half way done (or, it'd better be by now). It's very nice to see it all in the timeline ready to go!

I've also been going in and adding more characters to a lot of shots, putting more time and effort to using compositing techniques to overcome the VRAM limitations of my rendering machines (six characters, five fancy outfits and a complex environment? Yikes!) and I think seeing the other girls watch and wait their turn in some of these shots is very nice

So how about some of the story! The intro introducing angel is a lot more complete now:

If you're wondering why fluttershy isn't participating in the proceedings... that's why. She just gets to watch.

 If you'll indulge me a bit of "extradiagetic world building": my current theory is that the spell flutterbat used to fuse a sex-demon into angel is contingent on him consumating his lust with her, specifically. As we saw in witching hour, that's the trigger for him reverting back to his normal bunny form... so if he ties her up, she can't take his seed and end his little rampage! As a result, he's free to do this:

to his heart's content! And he does. That's the final major thing I've been working on is the "finale" sequence, and it's rather long. I've been experimenting with using multiple blender scenes and the video sequence editor, and it's actually a pretty neat way to work!

 (note the 1:25 runtime, that's over 2000 frames!)

this segment has some pretty nice moments to look forward to:

And, of course, more to come at the start, too!
