A simpler solo animation, finished actual animation work on tenth of this month but rendering and sims ended up taking more than a week.
This is my first time using soft body simulations, It's only used on the toy but will see more use in next animation.
Fluid looks pretty good but a major challenge I still have to solve is how to fade those fluid edges out better, it would do a lot to make them better looking but is also very difficult to achieve. The fluid is a bit unstable at the end and has some popping but that is fairly easy to fix in the next one.
And speaking about the next animation, like I have already mentioned it will include this character and Keie, but instead of just making another 2-3 min animation I decided that this will be my first animation with some dialogue/text and story. It will also be the longest I have yet made and definitely the most challenging.
Due to this I will not just editing Keie's model a little bit but rework it completely so it matches this male lizard in quality, I already started working on that while working on this animation.
I also need to model clothes for them and at least some props/environment assets, most will come from existing libraries.
Ever since I started doing animations I wanted to make something with a bit of story and while it will be difficult I feel like I have the skills for it now.
And lastly about tiers. I can't render the next animation at 1080 unless I'm willing to spend a whole month on just that so I have to downgrade to 720p. I was trying to think how to replace that tier 2 perk and decided to give t2 supported access to my old models. Since it doesn't exactly feel great to give away 12 models for 10$, I also decided to create third tier at 20$/month while retiring tier 2, people who are already tier 2 supporters will keep it but new people won't be able to join it. And to clarify, those models will only have the models themself and textures, rigs aren't included. I will make those tier changes tomorrow when I'm not dead tired.
