Amy's animation is flirting with the idea of being done in less than 40 hours.
I just send out player files for the animation to about 2/3rd of you. I'll get to the rest of you before the ...
2016-02-15 08:03:42 +0000 UTC View PostSo as the camera has closed in on Amy the rendering estimate is up to 200 hours remaining. 9% is complete. Should I let it keep trucking or should I stop it and reduce the quality to get i...
2016-02-13 03:22:05 +0000 UTC View PostI am pleased to report Amy's animation is now rendering. Right now it is estimating 97 hours to complete but it's not too accurate as things slow down and speed up as the camera distance changes...

Thought you all would get a kick out of this... This is 20 seconds of Amy's animation rendered so far.. Her hair render pass.
I am REALLY close. I got a lot done today. Fixed many last minute issues and even made some minor improvements on her rigging. You know.. Final polishing up.
Rendering HAS begu...

I've just finished adding Amy's dynamic hair. I wasn't originally intending to make her hair dynamic. I was going to make it like a "helmet" wig. But I gave into temptat...

Here's a progress report on the "Amy's Strong Debut" animation. I am still cleaning up (or in some cases re-animating) the motion capture data. I told you is a long animation! ;)...

Good news.. Everything is done except for the actual animation. Barring any emergencies (knock on wood), the animation will be done tomorrow (later today). Woohoo!
Hey all! Just letting you know how I'm coming along. The 2nd gal is drawn and mostly coloured.. As well as mostly rigged. So... Pretty close now!

I assembled this while I was waiting for Maggie to render. Enjoy!
The final rendering pass is 43% complete. Seems pointless to give hour estimates because the rendering times vary as the camera pushes in and pulls away. Thanks for your patience!!!!!!!!!<...
