It's been a bit silent around here, but I haven't been slacking off! Friendly reminder that I update this page with my current work in progress.
If you haven't been following my progress, I've just finished porting Widowmaker to the new rig. For a while it seemed that DVa was making the poll, so In a panicked frenzy I updated her mesh and models, but ...

Here's the link to the poll.
In the future I'll run these polls earlier in the month. Not sure how long I'll let the polls run either ... will wait and see how this one works out. Drop your comments below and let me know if you have any ideas for poses!
For first time voters: You'll need a Google Account to vote, the e-Mail is just there for ...
2016-11-18 15:29:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
I've removed the watermarks of all the newer works, of which I still had the master files lying around.
Here's this month's link!
How this works: I will upload all watermark-free versions to that folder, I linked. On the first of every month I'll change the link and post the new one here. The old link won't work anymore then.
2016-11-18 14:59:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
It didn't look like I'd be getting any more feedback on the post below, so I went ahead and put the new Tiers and Rewards in.
Tomorrow I'll write the mail to switch to charge up front, so if you plan on switching to a higher Tier, you might want to do that before the switch. Afterwards, switches to higher Tiers will charge you, as explained in the previous post .
Also,...

Hey!
I'll be making a few changes soon: monthly pictures, new reward tiers and charge up front. This post is meant as a heads up but also to gather your opinions on this stuff, so do let me know what you think!
Charge up front:
This is something I have to activate per e-Mail, which I haven't sent yet, so it'll be a couple of days before this...

A lot of people asked for a POV and back view. POV just straight up doesn’t work … I mean, look at how close she would be to the camera, come on.
I tried to make the back view work, considered settling for a partial render to mix it with the other angles, but tbh it’s just not worth it. I’ve uploaded a viewport render 2016-11-13 18:17:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Canceled the render yesterday, reduced motion blur, fixed some stuff and rendered again. It should be done in 9h from now. Don't expect a release in 9h though! Read the last paragraph as to the why.
This is what it looks like when I simply swap out the files from the first scene's composition. Check out the other picture in the attachment, which shows what it looks like straight out of the renderer.
I think the post effects work quite well for this angle, so there's not a lot I need to d...

I gotta think of a better naming convention for these titles ...
I'm ready to render this shot now. Render time is ~5min per frame with 355 frames, so this is gonna take at least 30h. Add to that whatever the background will take.
This won't be finished in around 30 hours from now though. Keep in mind I'll have to interrupt the render if it gets in the way of whatever I'm working on in the meantime. Working while rendering also increases the render times, so there's that too.

2016-11-10 21:11:18 +0000 UTC View PostUpdated: Penetration looked too static, took care of it. Thanks to Vargh for pointing it out! Gfycat.
Here's another preview with the animation tweaks for this shot. If you don't want to download it, here is a Gfycat.
This is most likely how I'll be rendering her, so if you have any suggest...
2016-11-10 17:05:48 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's an animated preview of that angle.
In the future, do you want me to upload these somewhere else as well? Like Gfycat or Mixtape for example.
edit: Forgot to mention ... as you can see there's some nasty clipping going on with her hair. Her eyes also don't quite work in this angle, since they were posed with the other angle in mind. You can clearly tell that most of the time she isn't really looking at Soldier. But at least I can leave the lighting as it is.
Planning to render an additional render of the recent Mercy animation. This is the angle I'm probably going to go with.
Something I hadn't considered is that I need to animate a focus pull when she lifts up. That'll be interesting, cause there's no real way of telling how it'll look without test rendering.
See the attachment for a different viewport screenshot.
For Mercy I've overhauled my entire rigging process. There's still some loose ends I need to take care of before moving on to the next animation, so I'll be busy with that for a bit.
For the next animation I'm thinking about Widowmaker/Reaper or maybe Sombra, if she goes live in time and I like her model.
In the meantime, if you have any ideas for possible Patreon rewards, let me know!
Well here goes! Off to a bumpy start ... none of my recent posts on Tumblr, Reddit etc went without problems, so here's to hoping that things go a bit smoother from now on!
Thank you all very much for your support! Looking forward to making it worthwhile for you :D
