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

This week is exciting (sorry there's not much you can see), but for part 1 of 3, Xana's Mirage animation is nearly complete and receiving some final touches (eye movement, subtle breathing, camera shake).

After these polishing details are finished, rendering part 1 of 3 (4000 frames) will take approximately 1-2 weeks (depending on the quality needed). Again, part 1 of 3 will be about 60seconds long at 4K 60fps. 🤤

Still working with the voice actor for Xana's accomplice, Daz; after providing feedback to a sample, the full voice acting should be coming back soon!

Last Week's Progress

What I accomplished since the last update:

• Scene 1
  • Part 1
    • Ambrose's primary blocking animation (almost finished)
  • Part 2
    • A male voice actor has been found for Daz Threadgill (Xana's accomplice).

Current Development

What I'm working on right now:

• Scene 1
  • Part 1 (nearly done)
    • Ambrose's primary blocking animation (almost finished)
    • Ambrose's subtle movement (eyes, blinking, breathing)
    • Camera shake
  • Part 2
    • Working with the voice actor for Daz Threadgill (Xana's accomplice). Thankfully it should be a quick turnaround, as there are only about 18 lines.
