Kim's Playground - Test Renders (Patreon)

Kim will have some story written on her account based on these images, I on the hand have been playing around with @giantesstina's collection of environments called Playgrounds. We also have a new Kim commission coming and I am trying to piece together how we might be able to turn that into a 2 minute animation...

Couple things I am trying to do though:

1. Edit and use new materials like dirt on Kim's feet and possibly some debris

2. Use a wide amount of environments that giantesstina created to achieve a really cool giga animation sequence

3. Have animated smoke and footprints IN the animation program instead of adding them in post or with after effects (I'll explain why this is important later)

4. Have Kim voice new lines

5. Ultimately raise the bar of last year's Kim animation

I wouldn't say my 3D animation skills have gotten too much better than last year, but my feeling for better composition, collection of 3d models, and computer specs have. This means I can throw a lot more at my computer to achieve certain scenes that I otherwise couldn't do before. Will this take some time, yes, would it be a nice change of pace and be an opportunity for improvement? Absolutely.

If I could add other 3d elements that I could model and animate in blender that would be a huge time saver and make things look a lot more believable in terms of effects, really excited to try and nail it.

Both me and the gentleman that commissioned the next Kim animation are open to ideas, so let me know what your ideas are,

Thanks,
