Shower Bun!

YO FOLKS~! Here's this month's animation :>!

5$+ peeps get the alternate angle!

This file was a HUUUGE pain in the ass to work with near the end xD. So many thing for blender to load. And constantly swapping on and off cycles to make adjustments, yet still have some semblance of performance. Learned some interesting new tools for this though!

Should be doing an audio version of this soon. Keep an eye out!

7/11 weekly update:
Hey floofs! Rough couple weeks for me, we lost our siamese tabby kitty of 19 years and it's been hard. I finished our June builds and did some work in v2. Spent some time analyzing v2 to see what's left before we can wrap up the rewrite effort and deliver test builds.
Here's the v2 todo list:

808! June's animation doodle!

SO! I couldn't figure out a way to do the beauty pass on this with cycles AND get the line art. There are some options, but there's like, too much bullshit lmao. so fuggit. But with eevee renders, comes SPEED! So I was able to easily get a few different angles AND pink puss/blue puss version :O!

Excuse the 12 attachments lmao. The mp4s are 1920x1080, and the gifs are 1280x720.

JUST A HEADSUP. This is "version 0.3" but it's not a significant updated build. Previously ".1" was for Act one. ".2" was for Act two, etc. BUT there's 5 acts to the game, and "1.0" will be when the campaign is done (act 4), since Act 5 is all post game.

Commission Drop!

A couple weeks ago I opened for commissions for a tiny amount of time to raise some cashola for a prius battery! SHITS XPENSIVO. But we got it, and my credit card hurts a lot less thanks to y'all! The thing is installed and my car is running like a champ! 

I do wish Patreon could have a cool way to display all of these. They all deserve their spot in the limelight. I'll be posting them over the next several days to other places. But ya'll get em here first :>

First! I've included all of the Maverick/Oliver sketches from last month! They were the winner of the sketch poll, and we've got some fun moments to use in TFOL whenever :3

In addition, as some of you saw, I opened for commissions for some car fixing funds,  I've been mainly tackling those the past week! The otter up above is from that batch :> I'll share more as they get finished.

4K Easter Bunny!

Learned A LOT about Rendering with this one! A friend gave me a huge run down and helped me render out half of the frames here.

There was some pesky flickers happening and I didn't realize it was the denoiser. Long story short, my 10 second per frame renders weren't cutting it, and we ended up going for like, nearly 2 minutes a render xD!

It took a while, BUT totally did the trick! Attached is 2 versions. Both 4k, one has a fade in/out for a non looping experience, and the other i...

Hey floofs! Last week I rewrote some problem scripts in the Upgrade/v2 project and continued debugging Acts 1 and 2.
