Weekly Progress #11

This Week's Finished Projects

For this week, I only finished the “It Came From Tumblr 7” video. All I really needed to do for it was add lighting and rendering. That's pretty much it. The video will come out on January 13th,2017.

This Week's Ongoing Projects

So...the Goku video was the bane of my existence this week. Originally I thought all I needed to do was create my facial presets (like what I did with the Trunks video), but I ran into problems with the rig. For the first two days, I had to create a rig for the Goku model using autorigger, but the elbow bones caused the arms to deform pretty badly. It wasn't until Wednesday, that my friend, Thatdemo123, told me that there was a rig for the Goku model. Since I got the Goku properly rigged, I then proceeded to work on the Goku animation. I won't finish it this week, but it will most likely be finished by next week. Here are a couple screenshots from the video.

Another video I'm planning to work on is my next Noble animation. I decided to animate his “Weeaboo Rant” video since I think I'll have fun with creating the facial expressions for one of the characters. I only worked on one scene thus far since I didn't work on it as much because I focused more on the Goku video. I might finish the Noble video next week, but my main priority is finishing the Goku parody as well as working on my review. For now, here are a couple screenshots for the video.

I made some notable progress on my roast video. Instead of working on one roast like last week, I managed to work on three roasts. Also, I'm just waiting on one more voice actor to voice the last two roast scenes. I'm hoping that I will finish animating the final roasts by the first week of November, but that's assuming I animate three roasts a week like I did this week. Here are some shots from the video.

The final thing I did was starting on the 10K subscriber video. Thanks to my friend, Gammalad, I'll be using Persona Q's Maze of Life for the video. Though I'm still trying to figure out some parts of the video, I started working on the early scenes. I even learned how to properly create walking cycles so I can add them to the video. Keep in mind, during my two years of animating, I never could do a good walk cycle. Now, it's coming very naturally. I did have problems trying to figure out the background I wanted to use for the video. Originally, I wanted to use a white background, but due to how SFM renders white, I'm just going to have to use a space background for most of the video. Honestly, I think it'll make some of the explosion effects in the video come out looking better. Rather than posting pictures of the wip, I posted some gifs of my progress thus far. Keep in mind, these are work in progress so most of the characters have not been animated yet. 

Finally, I had to post-pone an animation involving Yuno since my friends are having problems porting the Yuno model. Apparently, the textures are getting really messed up when my friends try fix the model to get into SFM. I'll probably going to have to commission someone to make the model in the future, but for now, I'm going post-pone it. :(

This Week's New Ideas

I don't really have no new ideas this week. I've just been drafting more ideas for a Dark Souls and the a MGS4 video. I finally figured out an ending pun for the latter. I will most likely start typing out the script for the MGS4 animation soon.

Some Potentially Big News
In other news, there might be a possibility that Noble from Lost Pause will be reacting to my videos. I emailed him a few days ago, and he  expressed some interest in reacting to some of my videos. I gave him 10 videos that he could react. I'm still waiting for his reaction, but I'm assuming he's going through his backlog of videos before reacting to my videos.

Well, that's it for today's update video. With that said, thank you guys for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day or night.
