Here’s the next animation update! Unfortunately it’s only been one month since last animation’s update, so render progress wasn’t as plenty, but it’s chugging along!
At least with this update, we got a good bit of...

Rendering has further been ongoing and we finally reached the first nommy scene, huzzah!
Progress on this is quite a bit slow as Chloe's fur needs a much higher density to still look good, as I wanted to avoid that chunky polygony fur look that was always seen on Zoe closeups in the past, though unfortunately it will be somewhat difficult to avoid once more than macro Chloe's head is on screen, as her entire body is covered in fur, oop!

The April Preview of Encounter 3 has just been posted for the higher tiers! The bad news first, unfortunately the first nom scene isn’t in there yet as the renderer has only made it to the point right before it happens. I’m trying my best to squeeze in an updated version later this month, so perhaps sit the current preview out and wait for that one to drop instead.
The good news is that at least that everything prior has been finalized, so there’s no more backtracking on any of th...

While rendering is ongoing, Disregard took a shot at modernizing my old Zoe model himself and I think the results are fairly good!
After Cid’s initial Zoe redesign was turned into Chloe, there was still the problem with Zoe’s model hanging in the air, so seeing Alex making some progress on that is pretty nice, even if she won’t be returning until Encounter 4. Alex took the Patreon feedback into consideration for a much more subtle rework of her model, mainly fixing the terrible to...

Rendering is ongoing! For this month, I managed to render the next batch of animation that Disregard animated, which comes down to 16 shots! Next month I'll be rendering the next collection of shots I animated in the recent weeks, which should include the first noms!
Not too much to report on this time around since we've mostly been preparing things! Disregard has been implementing Chloe's internals, among a few other things, while I've been chewing myself through rendering and post pro...

I admittedly didn't want to reveal more playblasts at this point, but the wrap up of the first part of Encounter 3 is still going to take a bit, especially as we're going to add a few more scenes to it that were originally intended for part two. Here's another scene I recently animated at the tail end of the meeting. After being swallowed by Chloé, Space Hero somehow finds himself landing on her tummy, rather than in it, huh!
That foot shove was actually improvised animation-wise! Chlo...

The February Preview for Encounter 3 has just been posted for the higher Patreon tiers. Note that this preview contains no noms yet. The first version with noms will probably drop around late April, when we're a little closer to the first public release of Encounter 3 (part 1). The late April preview will likely go hand in hand with a public teaser as well, as I'm expecting that by then we have enough material rendered for a small public preview.
Encounter 3 will b...

Chloe demonstrates to Space Hero how well she's able to nom him by turning into a huge floating head, oh dear!
Note there are a couple of effects here that aren't visible in this playblast, such as the sand dissolve effect, as well as another effect that removes her body past her neck when she turns large. Future Cake will have to take care of that in the final render! This is by the way the shot right before the first in-maw scene I showed a couple months ago. I actually animated this ...

A few more shots to animate before we get to the rooftop battle, but I'm hoping to wrap up my sequence in the next two weeks or so before handing the transitional scene off to Alex. What's currently keeping me from working on this is the simulation aspect of the rendering, as I'm also readying th...

Here's a new playblast from the meeting that was animated by Disregard earlier on! Rendering has also continued throughout the recent two weeks, although I had to re-render an entire sequence after finding some errors in a shot. I'm currently animating one of the last scenes of the meeting, then leave the final shots to Disregard before we tackle the rooftop battle.

Happy New Year folks! Here are some fresh render previews to blast off 2025, showing the first scenes that involve Chloe. Disregard did the character animation in these, while I took care of the layout, VFX, and other aspects. Still some clipping and a few minor things I haven't caught in the stair walk. Will have to take care of that in post, oop!
For this year, we're mainly hoping to finish Encounter 3, for which I should have another in-progress preview that will be posted somewhere ...

Looks like Space Hero can't just make wishes that affect other people, which means Zoe will have to stay at her size, oh well!
Another playblast of a sequence I've animated a while ago where Chloe outlines some of the genie laws to Space Hero. Right now I'm just about to start rendering the first scenes with Chloe, so hopefully we'll have some early previews for that around the end of the month. We're also pretty far with the animation, as Disregard and me are currently animating some o...

I just posted the first preview for Encounter 3, which mainly shows the first bit of the intro. Not a whole lot to see here since Chloe doesn't make an appearance in this yet, which is also why I won't make a public post about it until the second preview. For now it's a short 3 minute preview that mainly shows how far we are with the rendering right now.
I'm planning on updating this in a 2 month rhythm, usually depending on how much material I managed to render, so expect this to be a...

A preview of the very first nom scene of Encounter 3 that I animated a few weeks ago. More context to it will be given later on, but this scene will still be included in the first half of the animation as somewhat of a tease for what's to come.

Here's a new sequence that I've animated myself a couple of weeks ago! In this small montage Chloe goes on a small rant about her life as a djinn briefly after meeting Space Hero. What's not quite visible in this preview is that she's zapping through the room using her teleport, which will be something I'll add in a later production step. I'm still planning to add another shot to it later down the line to slightly pad out the montage a bit as well.
The plot thickens here, as we lea...

Here are some of the latest render previews of the sequences that have been rendered over the last few months! These are all mainly from the intro Alex had animated, which mainly consists of Space Hero arriving at Chloe's domain.
As our hero decides to take a moment to rest as the sun settles, he's overwhelmed by an approaching sandstorm. Unable to withstand it, he loses his consciousness in it. Little does he know that the storm will bring him right at Chloe's door step! :D

Chloé finally reveals herself to our hero! But why did he come to her in the first place?
Here's a follow up playblast to the scene shown earlier this month, animated by Disregard! Next month I should have some fresh render previews, as well as another blast that I've animated myself. There's going to be quite a bit of banter between these two before we get to the noms, so stay tuned! :D

My current schedule planned to show the scene where Chloé reveals herself today and show more render progress at the end of the month, but we've had a couple of render issues with a scene in the intro, which is why the render progress isn't as far as I'd like it to be yet. To give the render another two week buffer, I've decided to show off another scene from the intro where Space Hero enters Chloé's temple and gets greeted by her ethereal voice as she's hiding.
The reveal of her will...

First off, apologies for the low framerate in the gif! Photoshop's gif exporter is limited to 500 frames total, so I had to cut this playblast down to 15FPS. For the proper 30FPS version, check the attachment.
Space Hero finally arrived in Chloé's Domain and immediately clenches his thirst on a large water box. This also happens to be the splashing noise that Chloé hears at the end of Chloé's Tease, creating somewhat of an overlap between these two animations!

Since late July I've also been hard at work animating again and have started working on the lengthy Chloé meeting sequence. The scenes have been split up between me and Alex to optimize progression.

Phew! Took a bit more time than the usual mini animations due to there being quite a bit more to render, but the animation has been completed! Kudos to Disregard for animating her so smoothly! Since we were already going overboard with this I took the time to make some music and sound for it as well. (:
