(CA7-5) A little bit of progress

Guess who is lazy as f*ck and didn`t do anything for 3+ days. Yep, it's me!

To be honest, I've planned that animation will be finished by at least 75-80% today, but as you can see, it`s not even 50% ready. 

Hopefully, I`ll finish the animation intro next week, or even finish the whole animation. The main part is just a looped animation with one loop, so it should be quite simple to make.

(CA7-4) Progress

A bit delayed post because I wanted to include in this post all changes to the previous part of the animation, the part where tentacles enter her mouth and the part after it.

Making tentacles wrap her legs was pretty hard, hope it looks good, because I don't plan to remake it (I`ll polish it a bit anyway). Later I`ll add more tentacles on her body in the part where her legs got spread. Also, looking at how tentacle wrapping was made, I guess I`ll make tentacle material look very simple....

(CA7-3) A bit of progress

I`ll animate wall tentacles later. I had rough times animating this segment.

(CA7-2) A bit of progress

20 seconds left to animate, yay!

P.S. That yellow dot is the sun.

Good girl!

Some kind of story.

This is one of the first posters where I use Cycles render engine. It made it look a bit different from previous posters in terms of lighting. It allows using of more complex shaders and materials with more lighting techniques. But one of the problems I encounter with it, it is graphic artifacts on her tail and grass. In the future, I plan to use Cycles for animations.

(CA7-1) Intro blockout animation

Finally, I`ve finished blocking it. Now I`ll return to posting progress every 3 days. Sorry for THAT long absence of posts. And yep, this will be a long animation.

For new patrons - this is the animation that shows how the animation will flow, it`s meant to be very basic. In the process, most parts of animation are enhanced and polished until they look good.

Little info

Sorry for not posting anything for 5 days. I am busy with 2 commissions and don`t have anything to show anything good at this moment. I hope that today I finish making basic animation for one of the commissions, so I can post at least anything.

Hope you understand me... (~_~')

(A9) Welcome from the different universe

Some sort of description

I`m thinking about making an animation/poster with 2 Hoodwink(s) due to a recent bug at the start of 7.32e patch :) 

(A9-3) Almost finished animation

Oh wow, I made serious progress in making short looped animations really quickly. In past, that kind of animation would take 5+ days to create, but here it took nearly 5 hours to create. Btw, I need to make changes in the animation to make it more seamless and also to fix her hood.

(A9-2) Base animation

(A9-1) Start Pose

I'm not sure if I leave her hood. On one side it gives additional recognition for her and is quite a symbolic piece of her clothing. On another side, it's hard to animate and takes up a lot of screen space where I can place some props to show what happened here. 

I`m not sure how I`ll name it. "Colliding worlds" sounds good but gives the idea that the animation will be long while in fact, it will be really short.

It will be a short animation. After it, I'll start working on t...

(CA5) The second chance

Here is the animation

Backstory:
Shortly after the dire victory...

Hoodwink is fleeing from the battleground hoping that no one will catch her. She was already quite far from it and no one should go after her for so long. But immediately after she thought that she is in a safe place, in her direction with incredible speed flew Sven. Luckily, she was able to dodge it and his incoming n...

(A8-1) Intro blocking animation

So, A8 WIPs will differ from the previous ones. This is the experimental animation where I want to test a different animation technique. I am not sure if I'll finish it, I just want to gain experience in this technique so I can make long animations much faster in the future (not 1+ months, as I did with CA5). 

This is a remake of my second animation. And yes, it's a long animation.

As for CA5, ...

(CA5-12) Lighting for 2nd part

I`m still not sure about if it was a good idea to make the 2nd part with night lighting.

(CA5-11) Lighting in 1st part

It will be slightly better on final render.

To previous post

CA5 will contain a "Special thanks to my patrons part" at the end. If you for some reason don`t want to be on this list, dm me on Patreon.

(CA5-10) Almost finished

Here is how it looks without lighting. I decided to not add liquids at the end, because of how they will look and how often Blender is crashing. And wow, first animation with 10+ WIPs.

The next post will be about scene lighting.

(CA5-9) Changes to environment

Now it looks a lot better.

I have 2 news, one good and one bad. The good one is that soon this animation is finished, I just need to make some minor adjustments to the animation and make scene lighting. The bad one is that I can no longer make big changes to the animation because of lags.

To be honest, I fear how long it will take to render... o_o'

(CA5-8) Environment

This one is a bit worse than in CA6, but at least most of it will not be visible in the end. I added a frame where the environment will be visible the most.

(CA5-7) Attempt to add fluids to the animation

First time adding some fluids to an animation. Sadly, it looks not as good as I wanted. And because of that, it probably will not appear in the final version of this animation. At least I got some experience and the next animations now can have liquids. Tomorrow I`ll finish work on the environment.

Thanks to ruaidri for help with the fluid setup in the scene.

Drunk trouble in a tavern

"Get this FUCKING SQUIRREL out of my TAVERN!!! I'M TIRED OF CLEANING THE MESS SHE LEAVES AFTER HERSELF"

First time trying to add text to a poster. If you like it, I can start adding some phrases to posters (If it's appropriate). Also, I didn`t find a way to fix lighting artifacts on her tail.

Remake of Drunk Hoodwink

(CA5-6) How full animation will look

First part is pretty much finished. The second part is still WIP and I have huge problems animating it, so it will look a bit worse than the first part.

(CA6-F) Final render

This is where my part ends. Final result will slightly differ from this render (I guess).
Soon I`ll continue work on CA5.

(CA6-4) Lighting

(CA6-3) Environment creation progress

Well... Creating an environment is now taking the same amount of time as I spend creating animation. Especially when hand-painting texture for rocks...

Smoky tricks

Very mediocre scene. Hope I didn`t mess up too much with the colors and Hoodwink's face expression.
