Big gulpe - Playblast (Rough) (Patreon)

Pheeeeeeeew! The recent two weeks have been a tough grind, but I managed to finalize almost three new scenes for a tiny sacrifice to my social life! The most recent scene you're seeing here is still heavily work in progress, but I'm certain that at my current pace I'll have it polished and finalized soon! This is by the way going to be the final scene for the preview version of Encounter 2, which I'm hoping to drop by the end of next month. The full-length final version will be extended by roughly three additional scenes, as well as another post credits scene.

Rendering has been progressing quite well, with roughly 3 minutes being fully rendered out as of now. In terms of visual quality this animation should be my best yet, with a pretty considerate leap in scene complexity and character rendering. You can get a glimpse of the close to final quality here, as I put together a small preview at 1080p/60 to get a glimpse of what it looks like in higher resolution. The clarity in both 4K and 1080p versions will look significantly better than the last animations due to a new temporal anti-aliasing algorithm that was applied to the full resolution images. Thanks to this new method, flickering on Zoe's fur, as well as other high-frequency detail is almost fully eliminated.

Note that these sequences still lack any post production and color grading, which I'll apply later down the line! For now I'm going right back to animating, as there's still two scenes left that I'm hoping to finish by the end of the month. I'll make sure to update you guys with a more polished version of the scene above, as well as a few more render previews as things progress! (:
