Less bloodelfs, more DVa, is what my grandma always said.
Started adding more layers of animation. I'll work through the first half of the animation first and worry about the second half later.

Forgot to post the poll today, but thinking about it, delaying it makes more sense, seeing how I'm still working on last month's pic. It should be finished tomorrow, I think.
I'll get to work on my new body in that time and maybe have a new Overwatch character ready for the poll. Otherwise it'd be only WoW character...

I rendered a full quality shot last night to check my settings and look for errors ... that's what the Preview-post, earlier today, was about.

Hey!
Started work on the lighting today even though some elements of the scene are still unfinished. Grass is still missing, not liking the water and the poses need a bit more work.
This was (and still is) really tricky to light. I actually have two completely separate sets of lights for the background and the characters...

Closing in on the final poses. Lenina's character (redhead on the far right) will probably change the most ... not too happy with her expression.
Sorry this is taking so long and that February has been a slow month in general.

Dealing with all these assets has been a pain in the butt. At some point my scene got corrupted, so Maya would crash whenever I tried to save it. But I've learned a lot from this so far!

Hey!
Today I've spent most of my time writing a script to handle the materials of imported WoW assets. As you might imagine, most of these use the same textures, so after importing a bunch of models, you end up with lots of duplicate materials....

Base loop is done and I've started stringing them together and adjusting the intensity to the beat. Works quite well I think.

Haven't worked on this for a while. Base loop is almost done now. I've looped it a couple of times here to demonstrate what I have in mind for this. Everything's very rough obviously, but you get the idea, I hope =)

Thanks to you lot, I now have a few ideas for possible themes. Before deciding, it'd be useful to know how many characters will come together, hence this post.

so bloodelfs won the poll!
I just had an interesting idea to make this month's picture a little bit different. Instead of making a picture of some random bloodelf, why not make a picture of lots of bloodelfs? And why not use your characters for that?
I just need to think of a scenario where you'd find lots ...
Hey,
lots of text below ... just read the bold stuff for the important bits.
As you can tell, this month's poll is using Patreon's new poll feature. Unfortunately it doesn't have an "Other" option but I think the benefits outweigh that downside.
