Pre-Vacation Update

Hey, I just wanted to give you one more update before I go on vacation for a week. This is mostly just going to be a reiteration of last update but there will be a little bit of new stuff too.

The next animation with Miranda is going really well. I'm planning it to be about an 11 second loop. She'll be partnered up with a Krogan, and he'll be teaching her about the fine culture of Tuchanka. The base loop is in pretty good shape and I'm working on some custom jiggles. Since learning the ...

Miranda WIP

That's right, we're finally going to Tuchanka! This is going to be a pretty simple animation. I'm aiming for 11 seconds and will experiment using a couple cameras for it. The base animation is actually in really good shape and has come together quickly. I've not really done much with the NLA editor itself so far with this one, but the impact is still being felt because I think learning the NLA editor has dramatically improved my workflow.

I'm linking the next ones in case people don't w...

Another one-off commission. I haven't played Overwatch in a while, but I'm pleased with how this one turned out. Funny, this is also the first time I've done anything Overwatch in Blender.

Quick Update

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a quick update. I have a vacation coming up in early July. It's for about a week so I won't be out long. I'll be working on some commissions and a Miranda animation before then. Ideally, I want the Miranda animation finished before I go, but if it's not done, I'll at least give you guys a WIP of it. This is just going to be a short loop, so that's why I aiming for a fast turnaround. 

After that, I'd like to finally finish up the Morrigan model an...

Jill Alternates and 1080p

Alternate versions and 1080p for the Jill animation.

I ultimately just went with different variants of her normal outfit because I didn't think her other outfits really fit the mood of the animation. If you have any particular requests, I'd be open to doing some extra renders.

Jill Animation 3

I'm pretty excited about this one. I overhauled the visuals and the mood pretty late into animation. I've implemented some features from Blender that I haven't used much like irradiance volumes for better indirect lighting, volmetric lighting, and particles for the rain. This is the first full animation I've done with the NLA editor too.

Jill Update

Quick update on the Jill animation. I'm finishing up some of the last details on the animation and making one more pass at everything. It should be another day or two to complete and then next is to render and edit. A reminder that it is a slightly longer animation at 25 seconds.

Update

I want to give another update how things are going and what I'm trying to do for this month.

Right now, I'm still working on the Jill animation. I know this is kind of par for the course, but it has taken longer than I was planning on. It's not so much bad management this time though as it is learning. There have been lots of quirks to the NLA editor that I've had to figure out. Every time I thought I had it figured out, something else seemed to mess up. I think I've learned a lot and h...

Jill WIP

It's been about 10 days since my last update, so before it goes too long without one, I'm making this post.

My "short" Jill animation is now around 30 seconds long. It shouldn't be a surprise that hiring a voice actress immediately added way more audio than initially planned. This is only about half the audio she sent too, so I still had to cut loads. It's not as crazy as you think though.

I've also decided to take it upon myself to finally learn the NLA editor. That's the Non-Lin...

Jill WIP

Early WIP for Jill. I realize I've been neglecting WIPs for a while. Usually I get an animation near completion, and then don't bother posting a WIP since it's so close to done. That kind of defeats the purpose of WIPs. This one, I'm posting early.

I wanted something different than zombie pounding this time. It's a bit more romantic. Animation is just a really early draft, and I've sent it off to ChloeAngel for rec...

Update + Schedule

I've been wanting to make a post like this for like a month now, but I've sort of put it off just because of how long it would take to put together. The summary is that I want to go over some stuff that I've been working on and projects that I'm planning. Here we go.

Since the start of the year, I've actually been beaming with creativity. It's quite a contrast with how last year ended. I have so many ideas but not so many that I'm overwhelmed. That said, there are enough of them that I'...

Samara/Morinth model is for a commission set. It's a pretty basic model with low level functionality. It doesn't have any fancier settings or polish, so I don't intend for a public release.

The next couple shots are Morinth's apartment for the same commission. This is probably the most complete scenebuild I've done in Blender so far. It's simple but really tedious getting SFM props to...
