Feature Animation DEV - Planning
🕑 Added 2018-05-22 18:11:22 +0000 UTC Greetings fappers and friends and welcome to the first part of the feature animation stage in the creation of an animation commission, and boy does it feel good to be back doing these again.Like any project you need to have a base plan of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by, also questions like technical aspects need to be addressed.
First question - What am I making? (and the answer just isn't simply porn.)
I am making a 1-2 minute animation featuring 3 characters: Jinx, Mercy, POV male (Richard). Jinx is the main focus at the end of the bed with a majority of BJ movements including hands, Mercy is secondary laying at POV males side looking sexy with secondary movements/assisting Jinx.
There will be a 360 rendered video and also a cinematic camera which will find the best angles.
Second question, What possible problems will I face?
From the outset there are no major worries apart from potential technical issues with motion capture teething, or problems rendering in a VR format.
There are 2 lots of render times in this animation so have to consider buying a render PC at suitable spec, this means building and setting up a new PC which will also take time.
Third question, When do you want this completed by?
Deadlines is something I need to hammer into my skull and really push to meet them, good practices and streamlined working is more essential than every before.
I also have to take into account personal time and image commission creations.
Motion capture testing/refining/learning - 3 Days
Jinx + Mercy Models updating & rigging - 5 Days
Story board + Camera angles - 2 Days
Dope sheet and script creation - 1 Day
Actor practising in suit + technical issues - 1 Day
Base environment BSP - 1 Day
Rough animation pass - 2 Days
Motion capture cleanup - 4 Days
Secondary detail pass - 6/10 Days
Render Time - Unknown - expected between 4-10 days
Rough estimate for animation completion end of Mid to late July if commissions + community images divert attention.
Conclusion
I am sure there are things that have been missed but its a greats start to see where I should be and when I should be there by, mini milestones and goals to achieve .
Will start with the testing of the motion capture suit and post results of findings.
Thanks for the long read and the next posts wont be as long as these and most likely evolve more images and videos.
Director.

Might do something similar for images for the slots so people know whats coming and might change what they want. In regards to animations as there is nothing extra coming out it can be a static image that wont need to change until other animations are completed. Have had a quick play with the suit and does have some minor issue but mostly its just fun to play with xD.
Sounds like a solid plan you have layed out there. I hope the motion capture suit works without any big problems too. In a previous post I was reading about the publicly visible monthly commission slots you mentioned. Do you also plan on making a public list of what has already been commissioned for the future? I recall a previous one long ago, and it was a really nice overview in the form of an image.

:0 i cant wait to see the result. I like that you make timeplans for yourself.
