W.I.P Preview #5 - Mal0 animation (video preview)
Added 2024-04-10 22:32:36 +0000 UTCHey, got some good progress done on the Mal0 thing, so here's another preview of that (another screen capture, but with SFM's UI cropped out for ease of viewing - it's attached below since Patreon suddenly doesn't like me using Catbox).
I've opted to hold off on doing the second pose for the time being since this one ended up being a bit more complicated than I expected it to be. On the bright side, this has allowed me to dedicate more time to refining what was already done and adding more.
I won't go over every little thing I did - but I like to talk, so I'll summarize the main bits: there's more variation in her movements and additional "stages" to the animation, her hair and tail have proper physics (It's not perfect and there is some clipping which I may try to fix), there's now a background, and the animation can be looped fairly seamlessly.
The sudden decision to put clothes on her stems from an unexpected problem with her collarbones being a bit wack and jutting out in an unnatural manner (which is more than likely because this model was not made for SFM - a problem that I'd hope to be able to remedy the next time I use her in an animation).
Realistically, I should be able to have this finished in the next couple of days, if not by tonight. All that really needs to be added is lighting, sound, and other post-processing stuff. The aforementioned hair clipping, while being something that I'd really want to clean up, may or may not be fixed depending on how time-consuming it is.
That's about all I got for now - thanks for the support and keep an eye out over the next couple of days for the full release :)
