Spyglass Confiscation - Playblast
🕑 Added 2024-02-15 19:08:07 +0000 UTCOh well, I had actually hoped to be done with all the animation already at this point, but I'm somehow still posting playblasts as this thing becomes longer and longer.
Yet again, this spyglass scene was supposed to be a short, casual scene to transition into the animation's outro, but seeing how much longer this animation had already become I decided to expand this one as well and make it a bit more showy, so much so that it justified having its own playblast. The runtime is already well over 3 minutes, but I'm hoping to wrap up the rest of the animation within the next weeks.
I deeply apologize, but I think I'll have to move the full release to March, as especially the rendering has been going quite slow. I'm however planning on compositing together a preview version of this animation until the end of this month to show you guys everything that has been rendered so far.
Rendering Woes
While I'm close to the finish line with animating everything, the scene rendering hasn't quite caught up yet. The culprit is the part where Chloé lies atop of the viewer and noms/licks over their face, as both her elaborate fur and mouth shaders are basically filling out the entire frame with her being so close. The entire animation has been optimized to comfortably render at 10 - 20 minutes per frame, but in this particular scene, rendering a single frame takes a whooping 30 - 60 minutes. I already tried to optimize things as much as I could, but have mostly been getting diminishing returns. A simple solution would be to decrease the render resolution to 1440p like I did with some parts of the Bunsen animation, but the details on Chloé's fur and mouth come out so incredibly well at native 4K that I don't want to compromise the visuals.
I'm fairly certain that once we're past this part the render time will speed up significantly. Also note that right now the render only goes for 12 hours a day, as I'm still animating whenever I'm awake. Once all animation is wrapped up, rendering should go twice as fast on its own as the render can go 24/7.
Apologies for the delay on this again. 🙏 The next post here should showcase an early preview version of what's to come, even if it will probably be missing a good third of the animation still.

Imagine he tries to grab it in her throat, Chloe pulls him with a swallow, shrinks him to 1/4 of his size as she does so and with some difficulty swallows him along the spyglass. That sounds spicy to me :D
Fireblack
A possible release date?
Hunter Shivers
Quick question but when she leans her head back and the scoop goes to the back of her throat and when it goes down making her throat bulge does she moan when she closes her eyes ? Because it kinda looks like she does ?
John
Just wanted to say - we can patiently wait for anything you decide to do! Thanks for bringing the characters to life and the great animations!
John
Roughly put together version sounds awesome :D
Ultimate_Nemesis
Sounds great, no sound is a bit of a bummer but it’ll just make the full release more worthwhile! :)
CakeInferno
Encounter 3 will mostly revolve around Chloe, but Zoe will eventually return in the future! (:
CakeInferno
Late March for the final is more likely. ;-;
CakeInferno
Aye, she looks absolutely stunning in 4K, but I guess you'll get the first preview on that later today! (:
CakeInferno
Really not sure mate since there's still a good bit to render. I'm assuming that in the later half of March is most likely.
CakeInferno
I have dual 4090's, so probably some of the currently best stuff available. I admittedly struggle with VRAM ever since switching to a modern renderer though. The only real upgrade here would be getting professional cards, but NVidia made them so ridiculously expensive in my country that they aren't an option anymore.
CakeInferno
I'm fairly confident it will be, despite this animation taking quite a bit longer. I'll have some exciting news for that, but I'll get that after this current animation is fully released! (:
CakeInferno
Hopefully so! It's the first Chloe animation and I really want it to have an impact. 👀
CakeInferno
Yep, in less than 24 hours! Though it'll be a roughly put together version without sound and post production. 👀
Ultimate_Nemesis
Are we still getting a preview version at the end of this month 🙏🏻
John
Actually, I just noticed that her whole body's movement during the object swallow has very nice dynamics, I don't know why I'm saying it here but I really really like it!
Fireblack
We hope that you will be able to present it soon 🤩

I look forward to such an animation very much, but I would like to ask if Encounter 3 will be produced in the future, after all, I haven't seen zoe for a long time, and I miss it very much！
John
The throat bulge is great as well
I'm edible!
I love it when you add object vore to your animations :) Great job
AnOrdinaryWolf
You do you mate! We all will support you no matter how long it takes

It matters not how long it takes. As the old man from Toy Story 2 says, "You CAN'T rush art". As long as you're invested in this project, I don't care how many delays there are, because I know you're putting your all into it. I'm a patient person, and I can wait as long as it takes.
Dan Windrow
I love object vore. This looks great!
Coty Clogston (Ticklefish. ItsMe)
Don't rush! Art requires time, and the animation will finish when it is finished
KingandCC
Whether it’s the very end of Feb, or beginning of march we’ll still watch it with 100% excitement :)
MileHighBrid
I gotta be talking for a lot of people…take your time and keep going. We can wait. This is looking really, really good. 😮💨
VoreLover3
It's all good Cake, it's looking amazing, can't wait to see Chloe in all her beautiful fur and hear more of her great voice, at the end of the month, next month, or whenever the finish line is for you.
Khaki Chan
Goodbye spyglass. I knew you for... about 15 seconds.
John
Man, this is awesome, thank you Cake! Object swallowing is something I'm very happy to see :D
Brian Graham
I dont have an issue with a gif loading. I applaud you for your inclusion though.
Brian Graham
I love this olayblast. I can't wait to see Chloé. You can see your passion. Thank you for all the updates and take your time. It would be great to see Chloé in all her glorious 4k.
Hunter Shivers
Hey sorry if I’m sounds pushy but when do you think I’m march it will be released ?
Jack asdf
Would it help to have better hardware or do you already have top of the line stuff? I have nice parts laying around
rmplays
Do you think the next animation will be done by the end of 2024?
Jade B
GOOOOOOSH object swallowing is so good, especially with throat bulges. Take your time, more and longer scenes mean more lovely time with this gorgeous jackal 💜
Jay
You deserve a beer after all this work goodness
Gun Slinger
Sounds good my dude. I prefer you taking your time. The animation looks good!
ToTheGodds
works perfect
Charles J Burgess
It's okay if it's taking longer than expected. I for one am happy you're not compromising :) this will only make the release all the more worthwhile
CakeInferno
Note that I've added the playblast as an additional attachment since some folks had issues with the gifs not loading. Let me know if this works for you! (:
