I've got this animation blocked out, there's some really rough parts to it that I don't want to show much of yet because they're BAD right now like this:

So I decided to go ahead with the bathroom idea, but in a limited scope.
I lit, textures and added some graffiti to this bathroom. I couldn't think of a different scene that wouldn't require a lot more time to get right (or, require buying things to save a lot of time!) and I already had th...

I tried to make a procedural material that had a variety of skin texture to it and something that breaks up the specular part of the material in an appealing way. This is a bit of complicated material setup that would be kind of boring to explain (unless you all want that!)
But the idea is using some vertex colors to determine what type of skin is where:

I've added hair along the back, fixed a couple things, redid the tail hole a bit, added a tongue and started working on face controls.
I find this method, while using a lot of bones, is the best way to get very precise control over how the eyelids move across the eyeballs (each bone controls one vertex, and they shrink wrap to an eye proxy mesh so they always stay above the eyeball)...

I've been trying to figure out the best topology to fit the dragon's pose range. I want a balance between something humanoid and something feral. I redid the shoulder and chest area's topology and the deformation is better, but it still has some problems! One of the difficult parts of modeling and rigging anything is the shoulders...

Last night and today I've worked on the dragon's head! I think I got pretty close to the energy of the sketch.
I kind of originally imagined a like, red/orange firey dragon. But as I was doing some vertex painting, I thought maybe he's a dark element dragon or something. Here's the viewport:

Update: moved image into post body.
I think now, the sound and such are quite acceptable. Next, I'll be putting everything into the real scene, though I'm going to try a couple different moods. Like maybe it's dark, and the bronto has color changing RGB lights :p or it's sunset/sunrise, and there's golden light peaking through the window.
From the last preview, I made the creak...

The most enjoyable and productive part of animation is waiting for a simulation, it's not good, changing one tiny thing and doing it all over again! ... said no one :p
In the mean time I've been doodling some ideas for a kobold character for the next animation. Which do you like the most?
Also, it seems Dragon C is the chosen dragon head!

I'm pretty excited about something I figured out! One of the big issues with the Flip Fluids blender add-on is that drivers don't affect anything on it- I use drivers a ton for things. For example I use bone scale and drivers to determine what objects the tailhole should be shrink wrapped to.
So I was trying various ways to do things that I would use drivers for, such as inflow veloc...

I've decided to make these benefits apply to a new, $2 tier. I've been meaning to do this for some time as a lot of the $1 payment goes to Patreon and payment processors, but didn't really think much a...

Here's the brontosaurus and raptor models isolated. I don't know why they're so large in file size though! I took them from the main character animation file I have because I made some changes to the models/rigs that needed to be made, as opposed to the initial single character model files.

I've had a couple patrons suggest that I do something similar to a thing I did for the game I was working on:

Designs aren't final, but this is to get a scale of the characters. Though, I kinda like how the dragon turned out :p
I had an idea that got me quite hot and bothered! I've had this picture of two big long neck dino boyfriends in my mind for awhile... ever since making the first bronto!
In my mind, in the dinosaur part of society, it's common for herbivore dinosaurs to have plenty of partners. One kind of 'main" partner, their significant other, but also friends who they do fun things with.
Like, it's just culturally normal to have small dinosaur friends that enrich your intimate life with your b...

Man I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support. I can't believe how things have blown up recently.
As part of the frozen pizza tier, I ask patrons for permission/what name they want to use in the special thanks. I haven't re-rendered the thanks part for the final version of the AV animation yet because since the last one I did, there was a bazillion more people. But these are just the frozen pizza tier folks who have given me the okay to put them in!

Since the animation aspect is very near being done (I still need to change the lip sync where he says "so warm" as originally, I had him saying something longer, but I felt like just having him say "so warm" works better)
I don't have anything visually new to show, as it's just been a lot of chopping up the sounds into individual parts which took... a long time >_> I recorded more moans, a lot of schlicks, and various imitation butt sounds. So there was a lot of audio to cut into ...

There's gonna be some attachments- 2 voice tests and 2 recording previews.
The sound tests are awkward- it's *just* the voice, no plaps/squish/sploops/whatever sounds. Those sounds will be added after I've finalized the animation. For those sounds, it's better, performance wise, to do those without blender being bogged down by a 3d scene.
For the voice, it has to be done with the 3d scene since the character's mouth/expressions and such depend on it. I'm also trying to make it so...
I've blocked out the whole animation and all that will happen- I was able to animate the POV insertion part successfully:
This is kind of funny though, since I'm only animating what the camera sees (in first-person-shooter vision), I only animate the body a bit. You'll see something that makes sense, but behind the scenes it's just... the lamest animation :p
The inside will look pointy- t...

This is a pretty rough preview of the POV animation. I'm mostly focusing on blocking things out, getting the eggs to not have clipping problems, though the end isn't in yet. That is, if I get the POV insertion looking good :x not sure about it yet, but I'll try my best!
Pretty much everything before frame 2434 (except for the very beginning, where the animation is from the original, non-POV version) is especially rough, not very sexy (I haven't figured out what I want to do with the bal...

A lot of new patrons here, thank you so much for joining~
As you may/may not know, before starting the new animation, I said I'd do a POV take on the bronto/raptor animation. I had several people request it and it seemed like a good idea to experiment with a few things I've wanted to try out.
Initially, I wasn't sure if this would work too well. But I did a couple tricks and kind of made it work! The camera is unrealistically placed, but it makes more sense for it to be almost lik...

My question is, do you want to see the dragon topping or bottoming? I personally, and this is just what I fancy a lot, enjoy the idea of a feral dragon bottoming for a few smaller dudes (At least two, maybe spit roasting!??!?!) But, if you want to see the dra...
