Animation Progress Report!
🕑 Added 2017-08-24 21:28:35 +0000 UTC Hey everybody...Been a long time. Well I've been having a hair-pulling time here. In the previous animation the shrink-wrapping process involved lots of manual adjusting of the skin to keep it hovering above the muscle. I knew that since this animation is roughly 4500 frames long, that would not be a good option. So I dug in to find a more automated solution to the process.
I found it. But it wasn't until I had tried five failed approaches. That was a lot of time.. I'm not going to say "wasted" because now I have this new dependable means and I can apply it to this animation and all future animations. But it certainly took more time than I would have preferred. Quite stressful too!
The working process is really quite complex. I won't bore you with how it works but it's a 4-phase process for each body part.
So anyway things are once again moving forward.. Holy Mary mother of Mary's kid this animation is taking a long time! It's like I invented the wheel for Naomi's first animation and then I had to re-invent it to work the bugs out of the wheel.
I'll give you more frequent updates as I pound out the remaining body parts as we approach render-time. Thanks so much for your patience. I really feel this one will be worth the wait. Stay tooned!
