UPDATE! ITS ABOUT TO BE DONE!

ALRIGHT! SO!

Sadly because of COVID, this month was a bit of a roller coaster for me. Especially considering the POST COVID effects that hit me like a TRUCK x-x

I was out of commission literally until like the 18th, which SUCKED for progress BUT, I've been okay for a good sum and have been speed running progress to try and make it up and honestly happy I was able to. Now granted its not the time that I wanted to be done with this thing but Its just going to have to be.

Anyway, enough of that

What's left for the animation and what have I been doing.

So first thing's first,  All that is needed is literally like the last scene needing Krystal's facial expressions which is like the last 10 seconds of the anim. Then after that it's particle FX which is literally just

Spawn Particle

Mount particle to but

and done lol

It takes no time at all

 On top of that all I need to do left is lighting which is also extremely easy because the lights wont be needing to do anything complex. It's just to light the scene so also very easy to do.

One thing I am EXTREMELY happy about is the level of detail I was able to put in. The subtle movements and the facial expressions. I really wanted to capture how shy and nervous, and desperate krystal was to farting and shitting. And thanks to Fox her toilet is still clogged heavily and is out of order, so he has to get creative~ >:3

I finally got a breakthrough though when having another small reading session with SFM. I figured out how to mimix simple geometry with props so they have collision with my scat particle. Making seem like Krystal is HEAVILY filling up that chest to where it spills over~ And I'm gonna make it spill over~ >:3

Quick thing though as I know it annoys some people...

I know this animation is going to have a TON of clipping, and the reason is because SFM is SO limited that it's literally impossible to have parts of muscle and the body to squish and be manipulated like blender. And so I've just gotten to the acceptance of things will sometimes just clip and I cant fix it.

I know it annoys some but there is literally NOTHING I can do to fix it for certain scenes and scenarios. And you'll see in this anim where that lies U.U

Some motions also will be seen as SLIGHTLY stiff or janky, and that's because SFM being fuckin SFM... I encounter this thing called gimbal lock ALL the time. And it makes certain movement do this weird flip when a hand, head, leg, whatever moves and rotates. Like here you see the left leg do a slight jitter motion and the hands move a bit unnatural as well.

 I STILL have no idea what causes it and how to fix it permanently, so the best solution I got is to try and ad as many keys as I can to counter the effect.

As for sound, I have a REALLY REEEEAAALLLY talented friend who makes some of the NASTIEST sounds for stuff like this and I'm gonna be working with him to make this and disgusting sounding as possible~ >:3

And FUCK I love that wall splash!!!

NOW!

For the actual problem of this thing... Render times

Because of just the SHEER amount of particles and chaos happening in this animation, the render time is going to be fucking MASSIVE. WELL over a day im assuming. But If not I'll make another update of the times

But regardless I'll show the render times just to show how crazy ass SFM is X3

 But like... Look at this lag lol. SFM and my PC are going to be SCREAMING at me while I render this thing but... I need to show you all the good stuffs~ >:3

After this anim I'm gonna be most likely doing a few little practice sessions and still image renders just for fun and to take it a bit easy so I dont overly burn myself out. BUT, there will still be stuff. And I am so sorry for getting sick and just taking an eternity with stuff. Im still trying to best myself each day to improve my quality to make it the level that I wanna be at. AND IM SO CLOSE TO GETTING THERE ^w^

But! That's the news on this anim, and I hope you guys like it when it's fully done~

Stay Tuned~
