Yeah... So I was pretty sick for a few days... Luckily, it was the kind where you can still work through it. So it didn't delay this wip too much. It was actually kind of funny now that I think of it.
See a friend of mine caught the common cold, to which I then said "Hehe... Skill issue." And the following day, she was fine!.. Aaaaand I also caught it. Ahhh... how the turntables -_-
But enough of that! Let's talk about squirting!.. After spending yet another day of fiddling around with virtual cum... well, I guess pee this time. And actually looking up the blender manual (which didn't help one bit), we now have some proper squirty action!
I also did some research on what "squirt" even is (for research purposes of course... wait a sec). And found out that it wasn't just urine but some other stuff as well! But what's more important, is that after looking at countless... samples. I was able to make it look quite realistic!.. Well I make it sound a lot more complicated but it basically just looks like hazy water, but still! Effort, payed off ( ´∀`)b.
Ofc there's still a lot more room for improvement, but also ofc, we'll get there eventually :3
Also, I tried animating in 60 fps right from the get go! No more conversions. One issue that I found with starting with 60 tho, is that you can "fine tune" every movement a lot more than the 30. Which is great!!! Butttttttt it also means it takes longer for me to animate the same movements. Y'know what! Imma whip out the Nahida strat and give you an analogy!
Imagine sculpting with only a pretty big, say... spoon-sized chisel! Nevertheless, you end up with a piece that you actually like! But then some dude gives you a finer sized chisel... And now, that piece that you we're satisfied with, now starts looking a lot crappier than before XD. So you spend even more time and effort detailing it!.. Not a bad analogy eh?... Ehh?!...
So what does this all mean? Well... The "first-draft" wips would prolly take a day longer to make from now on, coz Imma be animating more detailed stuff... But then again, the "polished" wips would prolly take a day less coz I won't have to convert it anymore... Sooooo, not much :p
And lastly... This animation is getting a loooottt longer than I thought it would... Like, with the previous 8 wips as reference, I estimated the rest of the sexy scenes (not including the ending scene) to take at leeeaast 8 more mins...
Add then the ending and we're looking at a 20-24 min range... Might as well commit to a full Happy Accident part 2 instead of just a continuation at that point. Would also prolly be easier for the VA now that I think of it... Ahhh we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
That's about it! Hope you like it you absolute Chad!
PS: Tried making a Lumine voice. Aaanddd it was... okay tbh. Tho it sounded a bit more generic than I would like... I'll try and fine tune it a bit more in the future, but for now, we'll always have our lovely Sucrose :D
