Treat for the Cat (Standard / Top / Side View + GIFs)

Added 2022-03-08 20:24:24 +0000 UTC

This piece is a 45-second long animation. I cannot post videos to Patreon directly, so you'll have to check out the video in the attachments below to see the full animation.

I've rendered three camera angles: standard / top-down / side-view

As an added bonus, I've also rendered six loopable GIFs of different parts of the animation that you see embedded above. They're also downloadable in the attachments.

This project took far longer than I wanted it to, but it's finally done: My half of an animation trade with Syngie / @QuilbreArt. I've always been a fan of oral action personally, but haven't found the opportunity to explore it - until now!

This piece marks the second time (after the Hisuian Growlithe) that I modeled and animated a proper mouth with tongue. I've also experimented with more post-processing in this one, applying some color correction and a depth-of-field blur. The environment is built almost completely procedurally using the new Geometry Nodes introduced with Blender 3.0.

In case you're curious, the model for Synge is actually just an updated version of a rig I finished way back in June 2021. I had to roll some adjustments to make it work with my current workflows.
