Synth x Protogen Pt. 2 UPDATE (Patreon)

Friends! Is almost time for hit render button on Synth x Protogen Part 2 :D Ordinary, I not would show of you the behind-the-scene, because maybe it is ruin the magics, but because have be so long of the last update, I was decide is maybe important to show you what am do, and how am do it! If you not want ruin magics or surprise of animate DO NOT READ!

Environment!

I have make environment for scene. Is like laboratory for surgerys of robot, with thing like surgeon lamp, computer, containers of THINGS, desk, and some stuff on wall also. Like haunted Boston Dynamics... Last we was do see of synth and proto friend, she was just the unconcious him... Obvious, this for reason!

I am go to add more thing to floor, so is more messy look

Lightings!

For lightings, I was still want to have the feel of dirty, messy, unclean place, like the dystopias of the before animate, but also with synthwave still. Do this inside is not actual of the many difficult. Dark concrete walls? Is check. I make them have the more reflect, so is look like damp and leakings of thing, and for lightings, I make main lamps have the warm color temperature, so is FEEL like air is hot, heavy also.

Rigging!

I do an again rig of both Synth and Proto, because before rig was have many glitch that problem cause was. No more this is! Renders is the correct go in the first of time!

Textures!

Of course, for this animate, we is need new textures for eyes of synth and proto. I have finish make of these, so now she have more enjoyment eyes to have ^-^

Physics!

For this animate, I want synth to have the revenge sexings, because he is ANGERY. So for this, he obvious was need throw thing. Instead of doing the frame make manually for throw, I do the physics simulate

And of course... Animates!

Here is what animates is look like in the test renderings. You can see position of two camera that will do cut between, and also the expression of protogen. Because is the test renderings, you also have notice few thing. It look weird! This for few reason. First is because the timings of is weird. You see, when render with cycles, it long time take; each frame is maybe take 10 minute for render, so you can do speed up of render by have less frames, but this ALSO then is mean you animate is speed up. To fix this, I do two thing

• Render in section of loops
  Look in left bottom, you can see marker. This is tell computer which bit it can skip of do the again render, because it already have frame for! This save DAYS of renderings
• Half-frame renderings
  Ordinary, you render 100% resolution of 100% of frame that you is output. BUT, because dreamer ain't got time fo dat, I use special method; 50% of frame is render at 50% of resolution. In the other word; Frame 1 is 720p, frame 2 is 420p, frame 3 is 720p, frame 4 is 240p. Next, I feedings all these frame into AI that do two thing: INTERPOLATE and UPSCALE. Full-size frame is give enough details for AI to correct reconstruct datas that otherwise would have render be. It add +1 day to the time of composite, but it REMOVE 50% of render time!

Other reason test renders is weird look is because for test, I use SUPER FAST ENGINE OF RENDERS call 'Eevee' (is render engine, no pokemon). Eevee is good for material of PBR, but for other thing (like fur, or fluid?) it have the suck bad.

Eevee render can do in only 10 second each frame, but as can see? no very good. For the final render, I am use Cycles, which have 10 MINUTE per frame, but so much more good. So what do is that I render all of camera and thing in eevee one time, so can syncronise of the texture that am go to use for protogen, and for synth. 

When is done, I import textures, do the quick test of each camera angle in Cycles, and if it syncronise and correct look, I press 'Render Animation', do the finger cross, and best hope have!

So what is remain to do?

Here is what am do in next four day:

• Add mess to floor
• Do physics bakes of fur
• Finish synth eyes animate
• Finish 2nd and 3rd pose animate
• Make animate of the ending (I am think he leanings over her and purrings :D
• Position of cameras in final place, and check loops is work

And when have do, we can press 'render', and wait for it finish make the frames! While computers is doing render, I will be recording musics, sounds and voices (yus, more good voices!) for the instant insert when frames is ready.

Am very excite, and have the very hope you will enjoy when is finish :D The synth is still very messy :P

Estimate Patreon Publish Date: April 29th

Also I have do some 2D workings that will share here in next few day, plus also project files for first synth x protogen animate. Next month, we will be make some no-robot thing. I want make two short animate next month, becuase long animate is fun but also give me the very tiredness
