Animation Tests & Anatomical Details
Quick reminder: You can follow development more closely on the Trello board. (https://trello.com/b/kJ9cIAi5/)
Last Week's Progress
What I accomplished since the last update:
-
Character Development for Ambrose (Main Character)
- Added genitals for the first animated scene
- Created control rigs to assist with genital animation and easy alignment (giggity)
- Completely reworked skin texture (first version was too pale); needed to be done anyways, considering the newly added genitals!
-
For Scene 1's Animation
- Converted Ambrose's apartment from Daz3d into Blender
- Animation Learning Curve Practice
- Playing around with some practice projects and animation tests to in preparation for Scene 1's full animation. Unfortunately, this is extremely necessary to learn animation in Blender 😢This clip that I'm using as practice is approximately 20 seconds long.Take a look at the animation here NSFW!
Current Development
What I'm working on right now:
- Developing additional assets for future scenes:
- Jizz material and props assets need to be created for the rendering engine
- Scene 1 (full animation) Preparation
- Adding female genitals to Xana and her mirage form (this is proving to be very difficult)
Coming Soon
What I'm planning to work on next: - Scene 1 (full animation) Preparation - Searching for the perfect male voice actor to play her accomplice - Character Development for Ambrose (Main Character) - Adding body hair (arms, genitals, chest, legs); a small detail that is easily overlooked, but it's a detail that should be added to a 30-year-old male 😏 - Modeling and texturing the interior of PRISM facility
Technical Corner
Adding a Synology NAS to my arsenal - functions are to backup all data with a RAID configuration and to have it store all Echoes of The Cataclysm assets, textures, renders, etc. This will be delivered within the next few weeks but shouldn't take too long to get setup.
The genitals for Xana proved to be extremely difficult, due to my own lack of awareness. I sculpted Xana (and her mirage form), forgetting that I'd need to import her body with the genitals from Daz3d first; thus, I had to completely re-sculpt Xana and her mirage form again. 😿
