{INFO} Status Update: Frozen 2 ~Anna~ | Small animation | VELMA 4k (Patreon)

Hello everyone, today without additional visual design of this message in the form of vulgar pictures, since I've been running around veterinary clinics all week because of my animal's illness and I don't have much strength right now. In general, at the moment everything is not very good with him, but better than yesterday. Yesterday they said that euthanasia should be done, but today at another hospital they said that the doctor made a mistake and I feel much better against the background of this news. My pet will wake up with me for another couple of years if things don't get worse.  And now let's move on from this news to useful information about the upcoming animation, or rather upcoming ones.

Frozen 2 ~Anna~:

How many preparatory elements I had to make for this animation.  Creating clothes for the Anna model and several rather large maps in which the main actions will take place ate up a lot of my time. Against the background of the same animation with Lady D, where I made 2 small rooms in which everything took place, I had to make a part of the castle with a secret room and a fairly large room in the tower. I also came up with a rather interesting plot that I will try to link with a series of future animations within the framework of one idea. In my head it looks pretty good, it will be interesting to see how it will look already at the moment of implementation. 

I already wrote in a small report that I plan to put the duration of the intro animation in 4-5 minutes.  But something suggests that i may have to go a little longer than the planned time.  While our main characters will pass through all the secret rooms of the castle, a decent amount of time will have already passed. Although perhaps I will shorten this moment. 

While I was creating rooms for animation, I pumped my skill in working with the environment quite well, but I still don't feel that I am getting what I have planned.  I will try to find any separate courses on this issue. I would like to create something very lively and colorful surrounded by characters in which the main action of the animation will take place.

I picked up the main character close to what I was in the first animation. But the arrival in the freeze will dry it a little, but don't worry, our kind Anna will look after this poor guy. She wants to help him, right?

I didn't find many references to the castle where our princess lived, but I did something approximate. The castle will be divided into 2 parts, the old and the new. And now I'm trying to make the new one closer to the original.  We still need to work with shaders and light. For this piece of territory. I will do this already when our friends finish their journey through the castle and its secret rooms and go out into the main room.

I made the main room in the form of a tower, the time period I chose was sunset. But I'm still thinking in what time period the animation will go.

For the final part animation, I need to make an external background. By the external background, I mean a fully built castle with the outside. I don't know if it will be difficult for me. But I'll leave this one for the final.

I have decided on the outfit and I no longer think that I will redo it. This will be an outfit from Frozen 2.  I was also considering a slightly different outfit, something like a nachnushka. I have already dismissed this idea.

Since I usually don't talk about the introductory part of the animation, since this is not the most interesting part and I don't want to immediately say what the plot will be built around, I was not very informative. BUT I think more information about this animation will appear soon. And while I continue to finish the intro for this job, I decided to do something very direct and simple.  More on this below.

Small animation:

There were quite a few interesting characters on smartbase that interested me.  With some of them, I already see plots that can be done. But now I'm thinking of a fairly simple idea without much difficulty in implementation.  A small animation for a couple of minutes. No, it's not Sadako. A couple of minutes wouldn't be enough for her.

At first, these 2 models caught my eye.

But to my disappointment they didn't have rig (what makes the model move). So they are not suitable for animation. But I will keep them in mind. Maybe someone will make bones for these models.

I also caught the eye of the Chel model. In two versions of it.

In this connection, perhaps I allow a small visit to El Dorado.

And one neutral model (which in my opinion fits such a simple animation.)

We can go into the barn for a while and drink some milk.

At the beginning of my journey, I mixed the work of large animations with small ones. Therefore, I decided to repeat this experience.  I'll think a little more about the character for a such animation. I think in a week +- the first preliminary data about the short animation will appear.

That's all for now. I'm sorry I wasn't very informative this month.  A lot of routine work. Need colorize routine work. So I will try to make the next month full of news and animations.

I wish you all the best and health to your loved ones.

VELMA 4k:

I'm still doing render 4k Velma animation format. Because of the heat outside, it's a bit problematic. A couple of times I had an overheating of the video card (an error about exceeding the temperature came out). Perhaps this month it will be possible to finish her render. I'm halfway there.
