VPP Nightmare Moon Project (update)

Added 2017-08-23 16:15:43 +0000 UTC

So as I said I would upload a test video on the nightmare moon VPP model to demo the flexes. I've stopped at the throat bulges for now for a few reasons.

After trying for a good few hours I've found that the base models for the nightmare moon meshes are quite old by today's standards of pony models not being the overhaul models.

This complicates things to say the least. Instead of just tweaking the meshes a little and making some custom flexes. The base nightmare moon model available for download is not new enough to have all the standard facial flexes found on the other pony models, making it very limited. This means I'll have to completely re-work the model with a lot of the missing flexes so much so that it could take quite some time to get the model up to scratch.

Alternatively I'm quite tempted to make a custom nightmare moon model from scratch that would take much longer to make but would also be much better overall. I'm not sure what I'll do just yet really since both options are quite time consuming.

Never the less here's just a small demo of the external swallow flexes, really wanted to make something more substantial for this upload but with the uncertainty on the models I'd rather not jump in and start working on something that won't work.
