Rocky Encounter Part 3, Animated Preview (Patreon)

Hello hello! :D After a bit of delay with this one, it's finally ready. I had some trouble with this; in addition to the usual weight painting issues, there were a lot of problems with the animation itself that I didn't notice until it was rendered out in Eevee. So, there were large portions of the animation that had to be re-rendered, sometimes multiple times -- and that caused this post to be pushed back three or four days longer than I had intended to post it.

The animation's still not perfect, but it's at a point where I'm happy enough with it to show it to y'all. 

Unfortunately, I did notice after it was ready that the hyena takes two steps backward, but doesn't take two steps forward to get back to his initial position -- so actually his feet are sliding! This wasn't too noticeable, I'm just annoyed that I caught it after the fact instead of before I started re-rendering everything, lol. And it'd take me three hours to fix that little mistake. I definitely intend to fix that for the final version, though.

Because this one took so long, I am somewhat considering posting the final version of this animation in two parts in the interest of time. Rendering this in Eevee took a while longer than anticipated, and rendering in Cycles will be an even longer process than that. So I've got a choice to make, lol.

I'd also like to get fluid sims up and running for the final version, but with the amount of issues I've had with that in the past, I am doubtful I'll have success. Still, that won't stop me from trying!

And as always, thanks for the support :D
