MGD - Aftermath (Patreon)

Even with the very basics, making a breast expansion video is extremely easy. Just select the main breast bones, add two keyframes and tweak the scale and position, and that's it. But that isn't good enough for me. 

No, I needed a way to retain the shape of Daniella's breasts, while also incoperating growth. Luckily, I learned a few tricks from the moving-kicks experiment  and the butt-jiggle one. That's basically the progress of adding a 'Skin Wrap' to a selection of vertices. As you can see in the image above, the red points/vertices closely follow the modified sphere underneath it. And everything around the selected has a gradual fall-off. That way, I practically have scaling and moving capabilities that's as easy to use, but on the more complex and tweaked bodies I've created over the last couple of years. As you can see here (I miss the direct HTML edit...)  But there was still the big challenge of actually animating it properly. Where I feel I've failed partially. But I already covered that in the description of the actual animation.

Perhaps it's time to reconsider making those tutorial videos. I feel like being able to show off the inner workings alongside my voice would be several times more useful and quicker than a wall of text. Plus, getting more people into this 'business' is always a good thing.
