DevLog: Character Anatomy & Animation Prep


Quick reminder: You can follow development more closely on the Trello board.

Last Week's Progress

What I accomplished since the last update:

  • Scene 5 Completed
    • Sound design finalized (more minimal than expected, which worked well for the scene's tone)
    • Custom soundtrack completed - Check it out here: Tense Path
    • All coding completed

Current Development

What I'm working on right now:

  • Character Development for Ambrose (Main Character)
    • Adding genitals for the first animated Scene
    • Creating control rigs to assist with genital animation and easy alignment (giggity)
    • Completely reworking skin texture (first version was too pale); needed to be done anyways, considering the newly added genitals!
    • Adding body hair (arms, genitals, chest, legs); a small detail that is easily overlooked, but it's a detail that should be added to a 30-year-old male 😏
  • In preparation for Scene 1's full animation (which includes voice acting) animation tests, and animation practice projects will slow down the overall process. Unfortunately, this is extremely necessary to learn animation in Blender 😢
  • Animation Learning Curve
    • Playing around with some practice projects and animation tests to in preparation for Scene 1's full animation

Coming Soon

What I'm planning to work on next:

  • Scene 1 (full animation) Preparation
    • Converting Ambrose's apartment from Daz3d into Blender
    • Adding female genitals to Xana and her mirage form
    • Searching for the perfect male voice actor to play her accomplice

Technical Corner

The "Dicktator" geograft import from Daz3d was way more difficult than expected; this is no fault but my own because I imported the graft after setting up the character. This caused me to have to manually place the Dicktator onto the character rig and manually fix things like UV mapping. This is all part of the process of learning the workflow and how it fits into Blender though 💘
