Hello everyone! I consider Talia's first animation to be "next generation." It is the first animation where I had doubled my computer's memory so I was able to use more and higher...
2019-12-29 05:59:40 +0000 UTC View PostWow. Just... Wow. I've never seen my cloth system put up this much of a fight. It was refusing to cooperate at every possible turn, and with fierce determination. It really,...
2019-12-28 14:45:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. Hope you all have a great time. Talia's shirt is simming now. It's going very slowly. Fortunately her shirt is only on for the first third of the animation. &n...

2019-12-22 10:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostTalia is done. I might want to try to finesse some goings-on in her armpit area but everything is now in-place. What remains is her hair and clothing (before her top is ripped off).

I've just finished animating her hands and fingers for the whole sequence; with one exception... Where they interact with her biceps. That's because I haven't make her biceps flex-able ...

Breasts, Arms, Lats/Traps not done yet. But I'm getting there!!
2019-12-14 01:54:13 +0000 UTC View PostI've made various morph shapes for Talia's chest so she can bounce her pecs and flex them from various poses. And I've just finished animating all of her pectoral animation. Maybe I ove...
2019-12-11 06:15:52 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Here's what has progressed on Talia:
I've animated the scene's camera. Then I animated her eyeballs. Then her eyelids. Then her eyebrows. Her whole head i...
2019-12-08 05:26:35 +0000 UTC View PostI did a test to see how well my new "Storm" simulator could do liquids interacting with animated models. The answer is; really quite well!
Anyone want me to get Talia wet on her next an...
2019-12-04 16:26:54 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the mouth animation transferred to the final model. :)
EDIT: I've just finished animating her eyeballs. To finish her entire head I need to now animate her eyelids and eyebrows/f...

I've been cleaning up / re-animating Talia's head and neck animation to more closely match the voice acting. Adding little head bobs to accent certain words. I've completed...

Hope everyone in the US had a yummy Thanksgiving. JonTron had a funny video on Thanksgiving.

As you can see in the above image I am roughly 2/3rd complete with animating Talia's lip sync. Have a good Thanksgiving for those of you in the US who celebrate that.
2019-11-27 15:01:15 +0000 UTC View PostWould anyone like to try and guess what she is saying here, based solely on the mouth animation? If you guess right I'll put a gold star on your forehead*.

Here's a sneak peek at Talia's voice along with some mouth animation. I'm roughly 1/4 finished animating the lip synch as I type this. She's got a cool voice, right??
2019-11-25 11:13:42 +0000 UTC View PostI'm done editing down the audio and I have re-done the transfer of her leg animation to her final model. More to come!
2019-11-23 09:48:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all... I am 2/3rds done editing the raw audio recording into the animation's vocal track. We sat in her car for 30 minutes last night, reading lines over and over to try and get the...

I've just finished re-mastering Talia's skin textures. Almost every part of her face skin was redone to go along with completing her body.
This render looks fantastic, it is using "imag...
2019-11-20 12:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
I am in the middle of painting skin textures for Talia's body. I thought it would be fun to incorporate the "skin size" weightmap I make for her skin pores to determine the size ...

Hi,
I've got her skin pores texture made for her entire body. The replacement audio recorder arrived and recording sounds much, much better. There is a tiny amount of noise in the...
2019-11-17 06:19:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello all.. I couldn't get much work done yesterday due to a long journey that needed to be made. I'm almost done making the skin-size weightmap for her entire body; this is related to ...

Turns out I wasn't exporting the normal map correctly from Substance Painter. Now I've got it right. Time to see about making the texture look more organic / less uniform.

Hey all...
Here I am taking more advantage of the extra memory. I'm making skin pore textures. So far they are only on her face. Those who are interested in the tech details...
2019-11-13 07:24:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
I've just finished animating all instances of Talia's hands interacting with her legs.
Talia's voice actor told me she has only two days off a week and we can possibly record on ...

Now that her legs are final I need to adjust all of her hand animations that interact with the legs.
2019-11-09 01:35:36 +0000 UTC View PostMy stuff arrived today and I tested it out. I bought a small digital voice recorder, a power supply for my lav mic, a cable, and a wind muff. I can now record remotely. Attached i...
