Description

Something I quickly slapped together for a few reasons I'll get into. Worth noting, this isn't a highly polished animation! Just a quick test, so it's got issues I didn't care to resolve. Or didn't notice- the weird coloured bars on the far edge of the video are visible in the images but weren't noticeable in my image viewer, so I just plain missed them. Oops.

Anyway, I wanted to throw together something quickly to see how blenders Eevee renderer would handle anmations. Now, it's never going to look as good as the usual renderer, even taking into account the fact that this was pretty quickly tossed together. But it doesn't look awful, and with some further learning and tweaking I could see it getting some nice results. I'll have to sort out the weird grainy effect on their fur, but I'm sure a higher sample count or some filtering somewhere can sort that out. As a quick test bashed together in an afternoon, I'm calling it a success, and worth looking into some more with something more polished.

The second reason I wanted to make something was to show off Gale's ear rig! Some people have been mentioning I don't put enough motion in my character's ears, and that's largely because I found getting them to move in a reasonable looking way very difficult. I didn't do a great job modelling them. But I think I got gale's looking good enough, and built a simple rig to get them moving so we finally can start getting a bit more expressive. Yay!

Anyway, like I said, quick test with some issues but I hope y'all get some small enjoyment out of it anyway!

Oh, also, one final tidbit. I'm having troubles getting videos to loop cleanly... the source images loop seamlessly, but the output has a hitch in it I can't seem to sort out. If anyone is familiar with ffmpeg and knows a way to fix that issue I'd love to hear it! Loops are much better when they, y'know, loop.

    He's always caged though. :P

    Almost think he should a comic where after a long period of time he gets the cage off....and a pet of his own for a week as a reward for lasting so long.

    Nah, he wouldn't want either of those things. He's pretty content with his situation, and way too subby to know what to do with a pet of his own!

    That was the feeling I got. would be amusing to watch him all flustered and trying to figure out what he'd even do though.

  • Getting fucked with a cage on is amazing. You feel completely dominated.

    If you're a bottom with a bdsm fetish, do try it!

    Anyway, you're awesome, Ruaidri <3

  • Hmm, some interesting stuff going on at Gale's belly and I think his ears clip though the bed with some poor results...

    But overall, this is awesome!

    Pattern on gale's belly looks to mostly be a shader artifact and not your fault, and his left ear clipping instead of deforming against the bed was barely visible to me only after it was pointed out (I'm not sure if soft body physics interactions is a rabbit hole you want to go down). Overall there's a notable improvement on how realistic the motions appear in this one, the ears flexing with momentum and the fact that there's no isolated motions really helps. I'm not sure about ramping on this one as the motions are more subdued which minimises the acceleration times I'd expect to the point that I'm not sure if I'd be able to spot the difference. But overall? Hot damn! This looks great even if it's not normally my cup of tea.

  • One thing to work on would be to make the eyes a little bit wider, I notice that you like to have them half-lidded all the time and it makes them look kind of tired or uninterested/bored. Otherwise phenomenal work!
