Throat animation test
Added 2017-06-27 09:43:30 +0000 UTCHere's an animated snippet of the throat, mostly to test how materials and such look in motion! This time the camera is a little further up and closer to the back of Zoe's mouth, with her stomach being a little further below!
Unlike the old throat model used in all previous animations, this one uses a complex SSS shader that simulates light translucency. Specularity and reflections have also been revamped to give a slick and fleshy appearance. The goal was to have an aesthetic look, rather than a realistic one, as internals often tend to look uncanny to me when approached with ultra realism.
Best of all, this shader and overall scene is incredibly efficient, with a single frame taking just a mere second to render at 4K resolution. Now if only the other scenes would render this quick! C':

I'm planning to put something new out tomorrow! The throat scene was a pain to animate, but came out at a rather lengthy 10 seconds! A preview of the new stomach environment will follow up soon~

2017-06-30 13:07:45 +0000 UTCAgain, this is looking amazing... well done! Also I guess I'll go ahead and ask this: May I share a tip I came up with, on how I personally animate bulges and belly contractions? I'm asking first since well... I don't want you to think a commoner like me is giving advice to someone so much more experienced like you are, while at the same time I love sharing ideas if I suspect something I found might help and provide inspiration to others. Don't remember if I already mentioned this one in the past, nor if my idea is only possible in Blender and not Maya altogether... so hopefully I'm not being a waste of time here.
