Water Your Plants: Behind The Scenes

This project taught me about:  keeping videos short, cartoony motions, disabling modifiers to prevent clipping, manually animating bounciness in Blender Eevee, water droplet effects. I decided to keep this project short from the beginning and not allow myself to extend it, prolonging the production phase.

Water Your Plants!

This totally ordinary potted plant needs water, fast! If you give it lots of love, who knows? Maybe it'll give some love back? Take care of your thirsty plants so they can grow!

Shrunk Fighter Loop3 WIP

The third loop sequence. I had to make sure I got the motions and shapekeys right for this one! Only the best camera angles here. Very close to being complete, it just needs sound and it's ready!

Shrunk Fighter Loop2 WIP

The second loop sequence. Three different Camera angles once again, a lot of things going on in this one as well! At this point it just needs sound and very minor fixes! This is the 2nd most voted result on the poll!

Shrunk Fighter Loop1 WIP

The first loop sequence. Three different Camera angles, a LOT of detail in this one! And it's still not 100% finished just yet, either! Take a close look at the most top rated poll option in action!

Shrunk Fighter WIP3

1:07 long and still a bit to go! The video is just about to get to the important part! Cammy has hit Chun Li with the experimental gloop gun, bringing her down to size! Chun Li is distracted by the perspective, giving Cammy time to approach Chun Li and spook her with a stomp before kneeling down to grab her. From here, the results of the poll will come into affect!

Shrunk Fighter Bonus WIP: Cammy's Walk Cycle

Cammy's walk cycle for this animation. Still some visible weirdness, but it will be fixed in the final cut. It's hard to see this play in real time without first rendering it out, as my PC is not strong enough to see this in the viewport at the playback rate (30FPS). One day i'll get that beefy PC and this won't be an issue anymore!

Shrunk Fighter WIP2

A further peek into the process. We now see that the gun shoots gloop, and that Chun Li has been shrunk to resemble an action-figure of herself! As for what comes next, we will have to wait and see with the poll...

To render this in a timely manner, there are no shadows or shader effects, and I also forgot to adjust the subsurface scattering on Chun Li as she shrunk, so you may be able to notice that her skin looks WAY too soft, almost translucent. Easy fix.

Poll: What Kind of Training Will Chun Li Receive?

Chun Li is about to receive some "unorthodox training" from Cammy. It involves being forcibly rubbed against against varying body parts. It's legit, trust me.

Which areas would be best for Chun Li's training?

You can choose more than one! The top three will be incorporated into the video. Maybe more if time is forgiving...

Shrunk Fighter WIP1

An entire Sunday of work into the animation so far. Here's the introduction between Chun Li and Cammy. basically, they're training, but Cammy wants to make it "advanced training". Chun Li was not made aware of this beforehand. Uh oh πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

Maximum Melony: Behind the Scenes

This project taught me about: group shaders (shaders to affect multiple materials simultaneously), metaballs, particles, and bloom adjustion. Take a look yourself! As you can see, I tend to animate the face late into production, meaning that for most of the time, Melony was expressionless.

BIG Changes! New Video, Cheaper Tiers, and Content Schedule Change

I will be posting a new Growth video shortly! It's just under 17 seconds and features Melony, the Ice Type Gym Leader!  

The prices of tiers will be changing. I am going to make the $3 USD tier --> $2 USD, the $6 USD --> $4 USD. I can't edit the tiers as there are people in them, nor can I move patrons from one tier to another. Instead I will be cre...

The Hiatus Begins

I have paused the billing cycle for March. I will be taking my break from Patreon, now. You won't get charged if you are a current patron, but you WILL be charged if you subscribe due to the pay-up-front system. I don't know how long it will be for, but I need some time for learning other things and focusing on real life stuff. Thanks everyone!

Update: Last Month Until This Page Closes and Future Plans

I am going to take a break from Patreon. This February will be the last month that this page is open until things change. I'll do one more video for February, then after that. It's closed. Then, my plans are to do animation commissions on my own time and try my hand at some game dev stuff.

I started a full-time job a month ago and have been working away, only having a few hours to animate when...

Samus video is Up! Just in Time!

I managed to finish it in time this month, but BARELY. If you are already a patron, be sure to see it! If you are not yet a patron I urge you to wait until February 1st so you don't accidentally get double-billed!

I will make another update post tomorrow about the status of my Patreon and my plans for February and beyond. My life has been getting very busy and I need to be more open with you all. See you then!

Samus's Stowaway (Early Access)

The scanners had shown no signs of life aboard this fancy ship. There's bound to be some expensive stuff!  Hmm... not a lot of shiny stuff here, maybe this armor would do well at a pawn shop? Wait, who is that!?... oh no oh jeez aw god

Tea-ny Tiny Mishap

Secret Santa art gift for @Ivelacia. This was also my first time porting a SFM model to Blender (and rigging it) ! I've learned that it's much better off to only do that in extreme desperation, because it's hard, time-consuming and someone has probably done a better job at it than me!

Poll: Which Character Gets a Video?

I don't think I'll be able to finish this Lux/Jinx video in time this month. I've got a lot of other things on my plate this month, including a full time job.  So I'm thinking of starting another simple animation that would take only a couple of days to finish! But who's it going to be?

Shrink To The Past WIP1

Silly Lank finds a drink for him and Zorlda. Whoa. His tastes funky. What the hell.

There's some things to fix here in terms of motion. Getting the hang of Blender when I can't see things at 30fps in the viewport is quite difficult.
