New Years House Party!

This was a bunch of fun to go through and plaster a bunch of situations around. If I were to do this again from scratch, the room would be screwed up in a completely different way!

This series involves all characters I used in my past videos...

Fixing up bad guys armatures, then animating.

To think all this time that it's been model problems I've been fighting and not animating ones.

I'll take pictures of my process for hand IK on this one. Get warmed up for making tutorials.

I'm gonna experiment with imp...

Merry Christmas, Guys!

I'd have something to post if I wasn't so focused on the current work. Heck, I was out shopping for family yesterday since I forgot to do that with my nose deep into figuring out armatures, mesh joining, and stuff.

It's been a hell of a ROU...

12/20/18: The Hard Way

12/20/18: The Hard Way
Turns out studying a bunch on rigify and more was also wasted time. Yay!
It doesn't support my scaling needs.
But I did learn about automatic armature weight groups. That shit is awesome!

Telehypnotic helped ...

Bowsette's Rampage

Take a break?
Nah.
Maybe a day.

Edit: As if a final strike, my pc now won't get past the booting screen. I'm really glad I got this video out before this happened!
Edit: PC just booted up. Was trying to boot it all day.

Let's see if Rigify can help here

After a few rigging disasters, I'm looking into Rigify to see if it can be a shortcut for future stuff.

Smash Bros has made me a bit sluggish today. Will probably be working on something simple like recreating an entire cit...

Got Collision for Physics to work

I can't stream today, so I tested a few forum theories out.

It turns out that scaling the model in Blender from any other size after importing it will break the cloth physics collision all the way over in UE4 somehow.
Very weird.
Ryuko is ant...

UE4 Fall Sale and a MASSIVE THANK YOU!

I don't know how to be more thankful other than to make so much more videos! You guys have helped me a ton with buying assets off the UE4 marketplace and the current Fall sale is about to boost the shit out of everything I do!
Planet/solar system...

Physics Collision is all I need to learn before render

NEW new theory. People are saying on forums that scaling up a model during export is causing UE4 to read the original size for the collision capsules. This means that what I'm doing IS there but it's ant sized compared to what I see. This is yet anot...

UE4 WiP Bowsette

SURPRISE! I spent the rest of my night getting the shots for this done. Still much more lighting changes per scene, physics, cars, other character animations to go!
I'm trying to get the full thing out before Halloween.

Blender Snippet

I'm still working on all the camera shots in UE4. I figured you guys would want to see the most updated parts of the video despite being in Blender.

10/25/18: Something went right today

-----10/26/18: Something went right today

(Not able to work today after picking up my sis at 1am from the airport. Zero energy, but I snuck this in tonight)

So after getting the physics to look ok enough, I found that the front of the skirt w...

Snippet 2, FINALLY

I think I JUST figured out how to get her spikes and back shell into the animation. I gotta parent it in UE4, not Blender.
At least I figured out how to attach items like lights to the cars as well when they're imported from Blender now!

Time to Face the Physics

My goal is just to get physics figured out for the video in Blender today. If done early, then get a bunch of stuff put into UE4.

90% Means the main animation of the main character is reaching the end! The last 10% is all the extra ...

I both solved and messed up a bit

I solved the feet problem with the Bowsette armature/skeleton where it would randomly rotate with the body during steps. Unfortunately, it messed up all the rotations throughout the vid. Not the locations, thankfully, just the rotations. I needed th...

Been a bit since the last update, but I had to get the upper body caught up to the lower half through the scene.

Next Speedrun Coming Up

This one will focus on doing a 360 video. So it will have to take place in 1 spot or 2. Gonna leave a hint of an idea I got for the character too. If you have any suggestions for your pick, go right ahead. My ideas for videos are never completely loc...

Part 2.9: Having to Push Through

9/21/18: Having to Push Through

Fixed armature on the left side, old on the right.
Here you can see the culprit of why I had to take yet another step b...

UE4 Giantess Pyra (Sound)

Welp, I took out the movie poster option for high tiers. I just can't put in the effort I want to for that when there's so much to animate. Plus, I think you guys prefer for me to get the REAL work done.

Neko Vid 2.8: Run, Rin, Run!

9/5/18: Run, Rin, Run
This day was a nice time of getting back on track for the Neko vid.
It decided to remind me, "Hey, remember how hard this is to animate? Your next tasks are things you never animated ever before, have fun!"

Pyra Soundless Extended

This is what I sent my sound editor just now!
Screen shake will be there on release

Pyra Update & Charge Up Front

Firstly, I've been working my ass off on this and Pyra is completely done with animation in Blender. 

All work now resides in Unreal Engine and video editing which I'll get to tomorrow. 

Because I missed the due date of the end of t...

Long-Awaited Friday Snippet

Near the end of part 2!

Speedrun #2 next week!

Time for another speedrun Animation. 

I'll let you guys chose the character and I'll do the situation that I need to practice. 

There will be growth & destruction testing with Apex. 

1 model only.

Losers will be...

Pool Remix (Sound)

{Can't post it as public due to Patreon scanning those kind of posts and suspending those who break some rule they made up last month)

Fixes and additions:

Sunday Snippet

Despite a lot of things slowing me down, I guess I wasn't past flailing at all.
Most of the time was spent animating Rin to match the feet movement.

There's plenty to fix, including the imaginary bag in UE4, hand movement, facial expression...

Door Breach

2 Days.

1 for animating Rin opening the door and the other for all of Neko's current movements. On top of that, I did an animation speedrun for Youtube this week in 2 days. It kinda puts things into perspective on how tough this video is compared t...

Speedrun Animation Done

I'll admit that I fell asleep right after posting to youtube.

I can't stream today, but I will learn how to install Nvidia Blast or Apex correctly. Super important for proper destruction. They don't give out pre-compiled downloads anymor...
