WIP:Oura animation (Video in attatchments)
Added 2024-07-13 00:45:09 +0000 UTCThis one has been giving me way more trouble than I expected it to. Eevee-next is noisier than expected and it's been very difficult to get rid of the spoltchyness on the fur without making the render times higher than Cycles :\
I still have a little work to do on it before it's ready for a public release though. But I really did want to show that I really am getting work done behind the scenes XD It's just been more challenging than I expected.
TODO:
Refix the hands animation, they were better already but something broke and they aren't following the belly correctly now :\
Tune some of the pacing a little
and see if I can reduce the splotchy noise a little more but I'm not sure I can -_-

I could definitely do this and was thinking about it... I tried a few methods to make it work but some technical quirks got in the way. In blender technical speak, I use surface deformers as a lattice to move the mesh underneath using a proxy mesh that has all of my geometry nodes softbody stuff on it and the control for the fur movement. Unfortunately blender has a limitation in that (Modifiers that require mesh binding grab a freeze frame of the current geometry. This means that because the surface deform always occurs after the mesh is processed, and has stored a version of that section of the mesh to use as reference. Shape keys/blendshapes are mutually exclusive from the deform system. so the primary way I would think of doing a belly button pop would be to use shapekeys, which can't be combined with any of the belly physics/growth. I think I know how I want to do it but it will be very "production pipeline" in it's execution. Basically I'm thinking of just specifically for the belly button pop. Baking the current state of the surface deform into a shapekey and using it and a little camera cut magic to do the shot. So in a sense there will be two completely separate Ouras just to make it work.. Like how early in the production of clone wars they had to make an entirely custom, separate version of Ahsoka with a completely custom rig just for the scene where she raises her arms above her head.
