1080p release for The Promotion

2020-01-10 17:18:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt is done. Animation is complete and finalized. The test render is good. The movie is ready for final render. It's going to take anywhere from 10-20 hours to render, so I'm going to relax while it renders on and off for a couple days. I aim to release before the weekend.
At almost 3 minutes, this is my longest movie release. Except for Christmas, I haven't given myself a day off from this project in almost a month. I think I pushed myself too hard, and I'm exhausted, but personal motiv...
2020-01-07 17:28:52 +0000 UTC View PostAnother big update as the project nears completion. Scenes 4 and 5 are basically done. I'm working on the outro now. Instead of over complicating this with fluid simulation, I will be using some cum props for the outro. It'll be similar to the SFM technique, but these should look a bit nicer. I'm actually relieved there are some good props for this because it really simplifies things, and I hadn't thought of doing it this way in Blender.
After that, I will go through each scene to final...

A new WIP of scene 3. Animation is basically complete, but lighting and cameras still need work.
2019-12-29 00:22:18 +0000 UTC View Post
This is the same as before but with updated with lighting. Settings are still really low quality. After seeing it with lighting, I want to refine the animation a little more.
2019-12-29 00:18:36 +0000 UTC View PostFull steam ahead! Despite the holiday, this week was really productive. I've made some really good progress.
Scene 3 is basically finished. At 38 seconds, it's the longest scene in the movie. It's nearly two scenes since it's made up of two differently paced loops. In total, this puts the movie up to about 98 seconds of main animation complete. That's almost as long as the entirety of The Normandy's Bitch.
Scene 4 is also well underway. The loop for that scene is solid. In additio...

A preview of scene 2. No fancy lighting, but it is basically complete. I think this is the first time you guys get to hear some of Ashley's dialogue.
2019-12-21 23:12:00 +0000 UTC View PostAnother sizable update for the movie this week. It was rather difficult, but scene 2 is more or less complete. Despite being only slightly longer (about 7 seconds longer), it took almost twice as long to finish as scene 1. This puts a release before the end of the year rather unlikely, especially if the rest of the scenes take that long. I think I can get most of it done, but it's most likely going to take a few days extra. I'm tempted to give a release date for a week or two into January to ...

Lower quality render, but this is basically final. This is actually a viewport render, which means that Blender renders out your viewport directly. It's much lower quality but also renders faster. It still took like 10 minutes lol.
This is also the first time you guys get to hear Ashley's VO. She is played by thevoicevixxen.
2019-12-14 04:20:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a substantial update for The Promotion this week. There's good news and bad news.
I'll start with the bad news. I don't think the movie will make it out for Christmas. I'm trying to estimate it out, and it's really tight. It will most likely take at least a few more days after Christmas to be fully finished. It's still pretty reasonable it could release before the New Year though.
As for the good news, the movie is almost doubled in length. That's kind of the main re...

My second Miranda animation for Blender. I felt bad that I hadn't released any content for November, so I wanted to finish an animation I had been tinkering with. I figured it would take a day or two, but it actually derailed things and took almost the entire week.
That means there hasn't been much progress on The Promotion. The upside is that I have all of Ashley's audio, so the project is ready for more animation.

2019-12-07 21:13:16 +0000 UTC View PostAs I mentioned last week, this update is early because of American Thanksgiving. I'll be busy this weekend, but I have everything ready that I wanted before the break.
The base animation loops are done. In total, there are 5 scenes but a couple of them have some pacing changes so it is more like 7 base loops. The intro and outro don't have any animation since they are not looped.
I've sent off the script, story board, and basic animations to the voice actors. The plan is to have a...
2019-11-28 00:22:08 +0000 UTC View PostShort post just to give you guys an update on the project. Base animations are underway. There's still some things in Blender that I'm getting used to, and new things that I'm learning about the program, but animation itself is going pretty well. About half the base loops are done. They aren't anything too fancy, but they'll be good enough for the voice actors to work off the pacing.
The plan is to have all the base loops done for early to mid next week. That way, I can send the animati...

Full storyboard and script!
Since the style in Blender is new, any feedback on the visuals is welcome. I've also opted to try creampies in the outro rather than cumshots to ease into them with Blender. It also means that if they fail miserably I can cut them from the movie without really losing anything.
2019-11-16 06:02:42 +0000 UTC View PostSort of late but also kind of on time. I wanted it out sooner than a full week, but it took a little longer experimenting with Blender's lighting. It evens out to more or less a normal weekly update.
The storyboard and script are done. I'll go over the basics. As with The Normandy's Bitch, I wanted all scenes for The Promotion's storyboard to be fully posed and lit to near finished quality. The sweet spot for The Normandy's Bitch seemed to be around 10-20 second scenes, so I aimed for s...

Blender production of The Promotion has officially begun! I haven't been doing updates as consistently with posters and loops since I've just posted them when ready. Weekly updates should be back now that there is a larger project.
First order of business is the scenebuild (pictured above). The original scenebuild was actually made in SFM while The Normandy's Bitch was still in production. I don't think I posted it back then since it wasn't the main project. It's a fairly simple Allianc...

Another Blender animation! I think I'm pretty comfortable with Blender now.

Of course there's Operative Lawson in Blender too! Rigid gave me this model to play around with. It's still in progress, so no other outfits.
2019-10-18 19:10:50 +0000 UTC View Post
First animation in Blender! It went a lot better than expected, and I'm starting to get pretty comfortable with Blender. This is rendered with Eevee.
There's probably too much to talk about with Blender, so I'll spare you more walls of text and keep it shor...
2019-10-16 18:18:23 +0000 UTC View PostYou've seen the Blender images I've posted already, so you've probably been waiting for me to say more about Blender.
I've not made a lot of progress on the next movie because I've been testing things out in Blender, but it actually may be quite relevant...
Things sort of aligned this way. There's a little bit of a lull after the release of a big project. It's also the first opportunity to really try Blender since its official launch of 2.8. It just so happens there's a really hig...

Another Ashley poster. Starting to get more comfortable with Blender.
2019-10-03 22:43:40 +0000 UTC View Post
My first try with Blender Eevee.
Thanks to Rigid3d for the wonderful Ashley model, Shepard's Cabin, and for helping me out with Blender.
It was surprisingly quick to setup because the model is so high quality. I could write up another wall of text about Blender and its possibilities. I'll just keep it to the posters for now. Let me know what you think.
The Normandy's Bitch project is finished, and there's a lot to go over. It's going to be a wall of text for anyone interested in that kind of stuff.
I'll start with reception. While it's done as well or better than expected around twitter and such, it has only hit about the minimum of exceptions for additional patreon support. It's been a relief to see it received quite while with a lot of great comments. I still worry for the financial sustainability of more projects. The bright side i...
2019-09-28 20:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostThis is sort an interim update while I get everything settled after the movie. I actually want to do a bigger write up on The Normandy's Bitch about all the things I learned while making it. There's quite a lot to say that I can apply to future movies, but I think that will be its own post. For now, I will just give a brief outline of plans.
The Promotion, Ashley's short, is up next. The scene build is already done. I'm working out the storyboard poses now. I want to aim for a similar l...
