Weekly Progress #33 (Patreon)

This Week's Completed Projects
I only finished one project for this week, which was the intro for the Bad Jojokes collab. Despite the fact I had my hesitations, the intro turned out much better than I thought. Way better in fact. Though I've been using After Effects for about two years now, this was the first project in which I found myself feeling proud of my After Effects work. Normally, I would allow only $5+ Patrons to view the video, but I'm allowing all Patrons to view it. The link to the intro can be found here. 

This Week's Ongoing Projects
I spent most of this week working on the next Overwatch video. I got to say that I'm really proud of how sassy and cocky I made Sombra in the video which makes up for how derpy DVA's model was to work with. Also, I had fun animating...one scene from the video. I put the link to the gif in the description. I actually finished animating the video a few days ago, but the problem is how long is taking to render the main scene. When I tried rendering it, SFM said it will take 15-20 hours to render. The reason why it's taking longer than normal is because the setting for the animation doesn't take place in a map, but on a session, a file that stores the animation, map, etc. There's about 100+ items in the session, which is causing SFM to take a longer time to render. I managed to reduce the rendering time to about 9-10 hours by getting rid of any models that won't be shown in the video. I anticipate that I will finish the video next week. To hold you guys over, here are a few screen shots.

For the Lelouch video, YaroShien's friend will be voicing Sazuku, but apparently I had to revise the script a tiny bit since he doesn't cuss for his roles. It's understandable and shouldn't affect the quality of the jokes. 

After months of procrastination, I finally decided to begin work on the Kira video that has MasakoX in it. To make my life easier, I already created the lip sync presets for the Kira model that Kuro gave me. I will also begin building the scene sometime today and will be livestreaming myself working on the animation this Sunday.

This Week's New Ideas
I decided to start drawing new ideas for a Senran Kagura parody since Kuro, one of the model porters in the Daimond Dog's Discord group, has started porting the Estival Models to SFM. If you played the game, then you would know that the models are extremely nice. I think they even have some face bones I could use. To help me with this, I might either play Shinobi Versus or watch the anime. I'll probably decide by the end of this week.

I also have an idea for another Naruto/Boruto parody since I really want to make fun of it. The focus of the parody is to make fun of how much of a spoiled brat Boruto is and how Naruto tries to be a good dad. The problem is that the source I got today's Naruto models from doesn't have the Boruto models. So this parody will have to be put on the back burner for now.

Anyway, that's all I got for you guys today! Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day or night! See ya!
