Making It Official, Queen Jinx is the Winner!
🕑 Added 2022-05-31 04:03:43 +0000 UTCWhile I always like to see a fairly even poll, I can't complain that y'all want to see more Jinx. She's a REALLY fun character, and Dorn (who will be reprising her role), gives her such life.
Final numbers:
Queen Jinx: 130
Pet Succubus 2: 74
Quiet Intimacy: 31
Sitting down to write the script for this, I just went in raw with the general concept, and it all flowed out into what I think is one of the funnier and sexier things I've written. I spent the day putting the pieces in place, and doing some posing for the project.
Fairly similar to the recent render, but with some key changes that'll make an actual animation possible (I.E., less cheating with hidden limbs and random shapekeys, though every project eventually ends up with some of that). You may also notice I re-positioned Seraphine's leg in front of the camera, because feet.
It's gonna be something else animating all this, but I've got a pretty solid game-plan. With some careful setup in the outliner, I should be able to achieve close to 24fps playback in the viewport, despite the 5 rigs/characters.
I have a collection labeled "viewport hide" to globally turn off everything save for the base meshes, and then sub-collections for each character, with a final set of collections for "Hair/Clothes/Face." This lets me turn things on/off as needed, speeding up playback for animation.
The groundwork is laid out! I feel like I'll learn a few things on this one, so thank you for voting for it.
Let's get to work!
Back soon. ❤️️

Indeed, and thank you, but also; Props to my system. I think the largest RAM usage for Blender I saw at one point was 36GB. Tweaking to be able to render with 8GB of VRAM was the most challenging part.

14 character is wild! Props to you.

Yeah, I imagine performance and system load when animating that many characters are a challenge. I've made still renders with 13 and 14 characters and I had to do some tweaking to not bring my system to its knees, animation adds a whole extra level to it.
