Renamon + Alex ready for Part three! +more

Alright, after spending some time thinking about it and also based on some of your comments, I've decided to stick with the EEVEE render engine and make longer animations.

But I will try to squeaze out as much as possible from this engine to try and get the best results possible. Blender 4.0 which will be coming out around Christmas I think will bring some massive updates to EEVEE, so I'm pretty excited to see what they have planned.

I have also tried to optimize the fur as much a...

Renamon WalkCycle and Style Input

Heya! So, I've been rather busy with the character on trying to deal with a million problems that just kept appearing with the character's rig. Specially the legs, because unlike simple human legs, which are very easy and straight forward to rig, digitigrade legs on the other hand are a pain in the butt.

But I think most of the quirks have been removed from it and it should be good. To test it out, I animated a simple walkcycle to test the rig. However, I'm also looking for some input o...

Renamon 2.0 Complete!(Almost)

Alright. The face rig is done, but it needs refining. Facial expressions are hard to get right, and I need to spend more time just making sure it doesn't fall into the uncanny valley.

I will however, be releasing a few short animations in the upcoming few days to test the character on real examples before I continue with the series. I just want to be sure everything is right, and right now, I'm not too sure about her expressions yet.

Renamon WIP 4

Good news everyone! Renamon Texture, shader and fur is completely done! All there is left to do is her face rig and the character will be ready to go for the next animation!

Another great thing is that I'll have the whole day free tomorrow, which means I can dedicate a lot of time to her and finish everything that's left doing!

But here are a few more shots of her.

Here is her new f...

Renamon 2.0 WIP 3

Progress is going really well and I got more to show!

The body rig is pretty much finished and all it needs is some refining and it's good to go. However, the face is another matter entirely. Facial rigs are quite complex and take a while to pull off good results, but before I can begin work on it, I needed actual eyes, a mouth, teeth, gums and a tongue to properly work on expressions.

Here are a few shots showing the different pieces.

Renamon 2.0 WIP 2

Hi! Sorry for not showing anything sooner, but the cold that I catched, got a lot worse, sore throat, coughing and I lost my voice, which really impacted my energy to keep working. And then Easter came, and I went and spent the day with close and distant family relatives, which I hope all you had a fantastic Easter as well, without being sick like me hopefully. :P

But I'm beginning to get better, and while the coughing is still bad, I've regained some of my voice back so I'm getting bac...

Renamon 2.0 WIP

Hey, I come with an update! Renamon's new body is finished. I decided to hammer on the anatomy a lot more compared to the previous body, fixing some quite glaring issues. Take a look:

Her face is a lot more canine looking and less "lumpy" compared to the previous version. She also has actual eyelids now which will cause her to look more real when the textures and materials are applie...

Renamon Body and Rig Update + more

The support I've been receiving for the past two weeks has been quite amazing honestly. Everyone seems to really like my approach for a more realistic style, specially when it comes to the character Renamon.

So I've decided to take that one step further by updating her with a brand new body that is more detailed and features a more accurate or atleast plausible(since it's fiction and all) anatomy.

Renamon First Time Part Two RELEASED!

So, it's finally here! The second part on the series has been finished and even tho the fur looks much better now, there are still many issues I want to solve before I start working on Part 3.

This animation was particularly hard to make and I'm going to have to make some changes before I move on. I will be making another post soon about the changes I'm going to have to do before the next part comes out in greater detail.

So for now, I hope you enjoy this new part! Just hop over t...

Animation slightly delayed

So, I miss calculated the amount of time it would take to render this one out because of the new fur. It looks a lot better but it also increased the render times! :P

But, it's not a big issue. The animation will be done tomorrow instead.

Apologies for the small delay.

Renamon First Time Part Two Rendering has begun!

So, the animation is finished and I started rendering it yesterday and it's about 50% done. Expect to see it either tomorrow or Saturday! :)

Renamon First Time Part 2 WIP

Hello! Hope you're all doing well today and I bring you another WIP shot from the upcoming part 2!!

I was able to finish the animation block out during the weekend, so all that is left to do now is to polish it and render it!

I will also be looking at Renamon's fur before I start rendering since there are a few parts I wish to change to make it look better!

And that's it! I hope you have a great day!

Animation for Part Two has begun!

Hey! Hope you're doing well! I've just begun work on the next animation, which is still very rough. I'm first going to be blocking out the animation in it's entirety, and then I'll go over it adding the inbetweens and so on.

How big is it going to be? Honestly I'm not sure. I never aim for a specific time limit, since I find that to be quite restrictive, and also because I don't really know. I just really like exploring certain concepts or fantasies that I have floating around in my hea...

Character Update( Renamon )

So, Renamon! While I think she is mostly good, I didn't like the way I did her expressions in the animation so I decided to make new ones!

But that's not all! I'm also experimenting and trying to improve her fur for the next animation! And so far, it's looking quite good! Have a look!

Be sure to check the full previews by downloading them if you're interested!

Character updates(Alex)

Hey! So, here's my first devlog, update log, WIP, I'm still deciding on the name, but anyway! 

The reception to my first animation was pretty positive and I'm very thankful for you choosing to support me and the creation of these animations. However, there were a few things in it that I wasn't really happy with. 

I make all the characters myself, I sculpt them, retopo, texture, rig them, etc, and all of the other assets that you saw in the animation, are as well done by ...

Temporary animation link

So, for some reason, the MEGA links aren't working and I'm having a hard time figuring out why. So for the time being, you can view the animation over here at this Dropbox Link:

Renamon First Time Part One

Hey, welcome! I'm happy to decided to help me support doing these little animations I make.

And here is my first one! While not perfect by any means, I think it's a nice start and things can only get better from on out. 

I learnt quite a bit from working on this animation, specially working the Hair physics which were quite difficult to get to work, and I'm still not quite happy with them. But I'm sure I'll do better in the next part!

The Animation is available over at ...
