Last post, I mentioned that I had been working on other stuff which wasn't good enough to upload. Well, since then I tried something else as well, but again it doesn't feel good enough to take any further at the moment. So, I figured that seeing as I've been doing a shit job of putting up content lately, I'd at least let you see the shitty stuff I've been hiding, so I present to you:

This one is the Wolf and Efa again, I was trying out an ending scene, but couldn't figure out how to loop it, and no matter how I keyframed it, he was always just a bit too stiff and robotic. Which in retrospect means I should have made a robot wolf so at least there was an excuse. Anyway, the base movement is just bad. It was going to get more stuff moving to make it all flow nicely, but you need to nail the base motion, and I just couldn't.

This one was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to have something sexy but not massively explicit. Fabric is still awful to work with though. I actually have some ideas on improving and extending this to make it maybe work, but I'm keeping my focus on the next episode. It's taken far too long now.
On that note, I've added another 40s of rendered footage to it, and I think it's getting close. So, here's a breakdown.
1) Finish up explosion scene by redoing explosions and rendering scene
2) Current scene - Effects heavy, but the effects are 95% done, just got to animate the characters
3) Next scene - Quick shot, aftermath of 2). Got the shot planned in my head, and kind of looking forward to doing this one.
4) Character introduction. I've had this scene planned for a year now. I know where this needs to go. Just needs one character rigged.
5) Ending scene. Needs 1 character modelled, textured, clothed, furred and rigged. 2 characters textured, clothed, furred and rigged.
I'll be honest, it's already close to the 5min mark. I suspect it might hit 7min before the end.
Plans for this next week? I missed the 1 year anniversary of being homeless and in a van. It was the 4th of July, so nearly up to 13 months now. Weekend looks wet, so hopefully get a bunch animated, cos there's not much else to do in crap weather. Want to at least get 2) completed by the end of the weekend. Bonus if I can render it too!
