Alrighty. I don't have anything to show for Black Cat Cafe right now. It's being difficult to create. Black Cat isn't wanting to cooperate in the pose I want to use, so she keeps breaking at the knees or hips or just moves wrong all around. Usually that's fixed by adding extra constraints to the rig or locking one bone to another, but everyone I try either doesn't help or crashes SFM. Having to rehash how to position her. I did get some nice motion practice out of it though that I think I can salvage into the rehash, so not a total loss of time/effort.

    In other news though, I had an idea (based on a picture I came across like usual) of another project that is going very well. So well, I have a little preview video of how realistic the motions are thus far. Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat working out. Very rough WIP on that and early as hell, but still, I'm pretty proud of the motions already. Seems to have peaked interest in the Discord already as to what might happen in it.

    In other other news, I had another idea with Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3. Not gonna say much on this one yet. Tavern? People. Her. Situation. About all the info til I have something of it.

    So yeah, probably best to not consider anything a 'main project' these days. Setbacks, things in life or just loss of general interest from thing to thing shifts my focus all over, but those are the main things I'm working on.

  Whatcha think of Cassie Cage though? I like it.

    Soundless loop of a 'what if' scenario for Baldur's Gate 3. 'What if' your character didn't survive the crash or and Shadowheart ran into Lae'zel down the road?

    This was a practice/model test more than anything, but like a lot of those saves, it was something decent enough to fix up for a release of some kind. Nothing special, but hope you all like it.

    Figured I'd make a test animation into a loop, since it was pretty decent. According to a Discord follower, I'd shown this off some awhile back. I don't recall it, but I don't recall lots of things these days.
    Ever wonder, since there are so many different ways to do things in BG3, what would happen if your character never showed up or didn't survive the crash? Maybe some of the party still find one another. Maybe they don't. Maybe they become friends. Maybe...they don't.
    My little take on Lae'zel and Shadowheart finding one another then later on; Camping.

    Trying to find some voice lines I can use without having to download some 10-hour long bullshit to sift through. Why finding voice clips has become so hard I dunno. Loop is 12 seconds and might not loop very well since Shadowheart is a bit wiggly. Will be released with or without sound next Saturday.

    In other news, the previous WIP's question of 'Who' has been decided. Black Cat did in fact win out over the others. I even ventured into non-hero choices, just in case. In the end she just fit the idea best, was a great choice for model quality and was a featured character on my banner, which for some reason I saw as a small list of 'must use' people. Not sure why, but eh.
    Next up for that project? Scene build. Thankfully it should be small. This theme of animation won't have many, if any, camera changes.
