Report for May and June. (Patreon)

Hey everyFans.
First, let me apologize for the two months of silence. For the last two months I've been working like crazy on my pony rig. It's a tedious process of...
---
Building a rig, test it, It laggy and heavy, has a bunch of bugs and the software constantly crashes. Brainstorm to fix a problems.
Again building a rig V2, test it, It laggy and heavy, has a bunch of bugs and the software constantly crashes. But a bit better than before.
Again Brainstorm to fix a problems.
Again building a rig V3...etc.
---
And repeating this process over and over again until I get an acceptable result. I'm proctically going insane because nothing works all the time. So I had nothing to report, at least until now.

My pony rig is still a piece of trash which is constantly crash the software. But at least, it's good enough for me to try to make my first serious big animation. Which will be Fluttershy + Twilight one.
But this animation was planned to be made more than a year ago, when my skills  had serious limitations. So I decided to rethink some plans.

1) F+T was planned to be a 3 minute animation. Now it will be a 5-6 minute animation. But 60 fps will be reduced to 30 fps to reduce the number of frames for rendering. Or will it take weeks to render.

2) F+T was planned to be voiced by 15.ai (which is already done)
Now that 15.ai has retired and seriously outdated in quality versus other ai voices. F+T will be voiced by newest So-vits-svc and TalkNet together. In order to create the best result for our mares to moan.
Both So-vits-svc and TalkNet are now installed on my PC, and I can use them as much as I needed.
Honestly, it was no easy task to make them work. BUT now I have so much POWER!...
3) F+T was planned have just one view scene. Now it will be a three unique animated scenes. And since the characters will switch positions, there will be a total of 6 unique animated scenes.
And as proof. Here's a sneak peek at what those scenes would look like with my new quality pony rig.

At the moment, the project as a whole is 40% ready. So I hope that I can publish the first half WIP at least this month. Maybe, I hope so.

Also, some of you know that my artistic style is inspired by an artist name "illuminatiums" You can do a search on "artist:illuminatiums" on any boorus to see his masterpieces.

So, since I've been redoing the F+P scene over and over in the past year, updating my pony rig. We can visually see how my style has evolved to match illuminatiums quality.

1.5 years ago.

Half a year ago.

Today.

I'm not sure, but I think I'm getting very very close.
So... Now I'm going to back to work hard for a month or more to finish F+T. This animation should be my best creation and should beat Canary. So it's not going to be easy.

Fan Fun for all.
