August Update 1 (attachment!) (Patreon)

Hi.

Today I've got a new animation loop to show you with a raccoon getting stuffed by a wuff.

Edit 1: Added the closeup loop and the edit with both. Will now be going to render the alt version and will send out another notify when that is done and uploaded.

Edit 2: Here is the alt version, it finally finished rendering. I'm now going to polish up that vid I showed off of the racc wolf foreskin shot and get that rendered (I'll edit that in here too)

Edit 3: Well there we go, the cheeky little foreskin demo is now uploaded. (yes I do enjoy animating character expressions) now everything is done with the Wolf X Racc I'm going onto working on the Polar Bear X Raccoon. I need to make sure the Polar Bear can even fit, (I think he can) then spend some time doing R+D on sim work to make the burr nice and soft. Realistically I might have some stills for the end of the month, maybe some demo vids of the R+D but I doubt (unless something magical happens) that I'll have the loop up.

Oh, and as an aside I've been going and doing various medical tests and the doctors think I've got issues with my Thyroid so I'm going to be going onto some medication for that which (crosses fingers) should help with the fatigue going forward. I've looked and I may end up dealing with initial side effect and/or cycling meds to find the right ones, which could be rough, just a heads up.

Original Post below:

This is camera shot allows you to see the characters and will be intercut with the next one I'm currently rendering, the close up shot (the one from the last post, but longer)

I didn't want to mark this as WIP because I think it looks ok as is, if there is something (let me know in the comments) I'll either go back and alter that section and re-render it or if needs be for a massive change re-render the lot. Reason for this is I've been pushing to get this done and you can get a bit detail blind when doing that for long stretches.

Also this loop took a while to render at almost 600 frames, and before I do the 'alt' version I want to know if there is anything I've missed.

I'll be editing this post when I've rendered the different camera angle (longer version of the closeup I showed last time), and the alt version of both loops.

So yeah, let me know If I don't hear anything needing change in the next, lets say, two days I'll get on with rendering the alt version of both camera angles.

I'll be spending any time not doing rendering working on getting the polar bear up to date as he'll be stuffing the racoon next. (busy raccoon!) This one I want to try to make the burr even more huggably soft with simulation, so that will likely require some trial and error.

As for me I seem to be back to standard energy levels, so lets hope life can stay out of my way and I don't need to do anything physically taxing IRL and I can just concentrate on animation.
