Render Playblasts (Not mobile friendly)
Added 2018-08-24 01:22:29 +0000 UTC
Rendering the new animation is coming along quite nicely, so here's a new preview, showing previous playblasts at semi-final quality! The last two scenes, and the entire volumetric light pass are still being rendered right now, making this the heaviest animation since the Halloween one with roughly 20 scenes, each split up in 5 - 8 passes, coming in in around 10K frames total! I actually ended up renting a GTX Titan and set up a second PC, since I knew I'd otherwise have to wait for 2 months for this to be rendered. Oh well, guess we've officially reached the stage where the rendering load has to be handled by multiple PCs. D:

Note that the quality is still not final! Will still have to implement the volumetric lighting pass, as well as the entire post production, means we're going to see another significant step upwards from the current quality! There's also no motion blur in these playblasts, means the movements can look a little sterile.

Oh well, I'm actually out of text to write and didn't want to ruin the layout by having the last two images not separated by text, so here's a completely useless line!

Comments
Especially the later has become crucial now, haha~

2018-09-11 12:05:42 +0000 UTCMight end up doing that after the next animation or so! Here's also hoping I'll be getting the model ready in a month, as Zoe took forever to reach this level. Back then I didn't have Patreon though and couldn't commit 8h to this on a daily base, so things might go a lot faster!

That way you wouldn't have to necessarily worry about postponing Patreon-related plans if the majority of your Patrons wanted you to work on a new model anyway. :)

2018-08-30 23:29:15 +0000 UTCI keep coming back, over and over again, and I never stop admiring the detail that you have done, fur, fireflies, shadows at night, and the insane cuteness!

2018-08-27 07:50:38 +0000 UTC1. Can only give this a maybe right now, depending on how well the angle will work! There's definitely going to be alternative shots for the more interesting sequences! 2. Also giving this a maybe, as I always wanted to dust off that croc model I made many years ago. Would have to give it a complete overhaul though, so I'll have to see if I can squeeze it into my schedule at some point. If anything then I'd likely have to dedicate an entire month to the modelling and texturing work before being able to use it!

2018-08-27 01:43:30 +0000 UTCThanks so much mate! I wouldn't say unrivaled, but I'm still hoping to fill a gap with these animations! (:

2018-08-27 01:40:20 +0000 UTCGlad you think so! Pretty much going through a professional production procedure with these!
CakeInferno
2018-08-27 01:40:05 +0000 UTCPretty much so! Still no idea how long it actually is, as I haven't put all the scenes together yet. It's definitely longer than the last animation, even if not significantly. Most of the increased work time actually comes from the higher production standards, since there's been a decent step up in the visuals since the Halloween animation!

2018-08-27 01:38:24 +0000 UTCAiming for early September here! Still need to get post production and audio done, which I'll likely do in a few all nighters!

2018-08-27 01:36:09 +0000 UTCVery nice work, loving the progress on this piece. Had a few questions on the side though: 1. Will there be a POV version of this particular scene? 2. Do you think you'll be expanding your catalogue of characters this/next year? I'd love to see more styles of predators from you.

2018-08-24 04:22:08 +0000 UTCi thought we would see this within aug. but geez this one is a monster. unless my very rough math is off, were looking at a little less than 3 minutes of animation. and i cant even imagine what the final look will be like. this is gonna be NUTS dude!
2018-08-24 02:43:43 +0000 UTCWhen do you think it will be out
2018-08-24 02:05:16 +0000 UTCThanks! Can't wait to have this finalized for you guys! (:
