In the process of populating her head with spikes. I had to devise my own method within Blender for this, the built in fur tools aren't cut out for this much control i feel. It will be physics simulat..a-ble?.. while also staying together mimicking her drawn five main spikes look. I'm not fully sold on the thickness yet, i also have a backup plan to double the spike count and half the thickness of each at relative ease. I'm creating the 3d printable version and the animation version in tandem, these efforts are obviously for the latter.

  The roots will be seamlessly covered with her final fur, instead of the pink skin texture. Never mind the heavily in the works face features right now, everything is just rough mock-up coloring wise and the eyelashes are just quick planes to get an idea. I'm kinda in the process of confirming the final model geometry and so i can turn onto eye rigging, then you will get a nice demo of her lively eyes in action. It can only be done if i'm 100% i won't want to change ANYTHING else about her for the rest of the project.

(when that's done, she will be THE Amy model of mine, THEN i will have to throw rigging out, put her into T-pose and redo/refine a lot of things)

  A little WIP chime in... Even though Amy on the previously indicated book front page illustration is not in her Riders outfit, the shoe is from that get-up, so i made it for this immediate side project.

  I might not go with the preserving-the-painted-look method as i'm doing with the bunnies, and just turn it into truly 3d. I was for the longest time reluctant to dabble into this one, because i was afraid i won't be able to resist this exact thing. Oh well, at least i am holding it as a bit of a challenge for myself to try and replicate the same overly illuminated otherworldly feel the painted version has. With my new graphics card i now have not only much snappier previewing and showcasing abilities, but the actual work became a joy / actually a possibility now. There's nothing more soul sucking (and time wasting), than waiting for endless test renders while developing texture shaders and lighting.

  Whoever is responsible, thanks for the likes! Means a lot seeing how negligible verbal or other engagement i get from fans nowadays.

Big update on the second scene for the bunny project!

   I got really, REALLY burnt by a bug in Blender while i was building the rig for making them bunny gals tik. Took much hair pulling, but managed to find a workaround. Dang bouncy bits refused to bounce! Pfahhh!

   I kinda finished the rigging and all possible little move-y bits for the future for this scene, and KINDA made and rendered a presentable demo (video at the bottom!), before i am for now forced to sell off my graphics card, rendering my workstation dead for a good week... :/ But then it is roaring back to life with my brand new RTX 3060Ti weee! Thank you for everybody backing the campaign who at least in part made this upgrade possible!

   I'm counting on that one real hard for the ease of painting these book style textures. And future real light bouncing renders. These type of pre-baked colors, as seen in the video, are actually lightning fast to render. But as you can imagine, very limited in movement, before forms start to become exposed as the fixed shadow shaded objects they are.

  So sorry for the little under cooked timings and all, in the animation, but i literally had to stop, quickly wait out render and power off the system. Did not even have the time to try and make it a nice loop like last time. REMEMBER, this is meant to be just a demo anyways, these come of each scene completed (check out the first scene demo with Sonic in a lick sandwich if you haven't yet), and then in the end comes the real, fully baked "movie", using all the scenes and brand new animations. And fluid effects.

  Also here is a snippet of a newly picked up 3deeify project, the AmyUNTOLD 'Super Couple' book that has been in permanent limbo for the better part of a decade, received a nifty (i think it is...) front cover back in the day, and i can't resist. Sorry for not polling you about it. But it will yield an Amy and a Sonic model for the framework of the big bunny video, so it should prove very useful on the long run. I also felt i was stuck in a feature creep / just simply out of steam creative valley with the latest bunny scene, and i was right, i jumped into this other project and i am once again lightning fast. I finish this and then it's bunny scene 03 time!

A couple loops, well, true loops when possible, come now, of the new finally fully finished scene. The prerequisites are now 2/3 ready for the big bunny thingy. These clips have nothing to do with the final big movie idea, they just show off some of the many possibilities.
