New update (Patreon)

Ok so, after going through 3. Yes, three, three whole laptops with problems ranging from just not fucking showing up, to not working as advertised (as in shutting down when unplugged and or running like total ass), we now have a kick ass laptop for my dear fiancee who has so graciously provided me with her lovely voice to work with. I'm going to be spending today lip syncing and animating body movements to fit her delivery, in the meantime I'll give you some more info about where the project is.

The elves are almost completely done. All I have to do is some very small touch ups and or a new transition scene or two in total, not for each girl.

I've been really struggling with the mocap system, i really need another kinect v2  for starters. Second major thing is that the existing rigs I have arent. . really compatable with the mo-cap animation rig. So I can get almost /all/ data from it, except for upper body bending which. Kinda sucks but its not the worst thing in the world. This all said, messing with it has set me back a bit more than I'd like. But this is what I get for trying something I've never done before, right up against my deadline.

I still want to give every room another pass and add more details to it, time permitting but if not then, well, I'll think of something.

All in all, this is definitely more involved than BugHunt. I'm not sure if its. . .better. But, I know for a fact I've put way more effort into it. For example

BH needed loose set design and animation for models with some light, surface level model editing, light placement, and some particle effects.

Infestation needed custom models, intense model editing, custom textures,  entire sets built, fluid physics, soft-body physics, hair physics, dynamic fog, particle effects, dynamic lighting, motion capture, clouds, and voice acting,

So I really really hope that you guys like it, I know it wont please everyone and I know some people are going to be a little upset over  a lack of a // certain kind of content // but ill find a way to make up for // that lacking content //  through maybe some throwaway scenes in Infest that would be really easy to put together.

Apologizing now its just, //that content// isn't enjoyable to animate as a standalone scene because when you've seen one you've essentially seen them all. And their rigs are still fucky so. Yeah. That certain content being facehugger animations. Now now now before you start lynching me, there are a few scenes of it, just, not really with the main characters.

Bughunt 2/3,  whatever you count infest as,  will have it in spades however.

So yeah hopefully next patreon update will be the release! I know I don't post a bunch here but I think of this place more as a major happening kind of thing. My twitter is way more active with little gripes and complaints and stuff.

See you all again in. . .7. . .days.
