I've finished the setup work for our Girl Dragon lead - "J-9". She now has full cloth simulation on top of muscle simulation. Still working out a few kinks but it's getting really good!
This is also an example of the quality to expect with instanced ground scattered foliage and debris.
Also - her blac...

Here's a still of a render in progress that shows the results of everything learned in the last couple weeks! Also a preview of things to come in the next animation!

This is for Render Masters to vote on, if not already done on Discord.
Also available shortly on the mega drive for Render Dragons and Masters to view original files.
This is using the old body physics solver for all of the body, tissue solver is still being tricky.
Thanks to recent developments in Houdini 19, I've taken the time to research and develop the new Vellum tools available for muscle, tissue and skin simulation. Here's a preview of one of my standard characters hooked up from scratch, after also successfully rigging it for the new deer character.
It makes characters lo...

Might have a vote for the name of this guy on completion.. He's been through zbrush, substance and now imported to redshift for some grooming and testing out the new tools for hair in Houdini 19, hence why he looks.. Naked u3u
Also he has a 3x3 UDIM tile UV layout for that extra crisp body texture resolution, this is ...
Been playing around with Houdini 19's new Shockwave Explosion shelf tool for future shots with gigantic explosions in Mechdragon animations.
Added in some quick rbd buildings getting shattered for good measure.
I'm very pleased to announce my first animation is now complete. This one's a quick one featuring Big and Small Evalion, it was animated in a day, simulated in 2 days and rendered in 2 weeks. It took 172 hours to render.
I will now be taking a week or so to do R&D on vore and flesh deformation mechanics and la...

We're now up to the last stages of rendering where we create the last shots! We should have a new animation out by Halloween! Keep an eye out :D

Hey everyone! We've officially gone past 100 hours of rendering on our Megavalion animation. I created this at the beginning of last week, and have been working on it all week. Now with 3/5 main shots completed, we're close to the final animation being released by the end of next week! Exciting!
Render Masters will ge...
As a special thankyou to my supporters, I've created a quick environment and animation sequence yesterday, that I'm currently finishing 3D work on.

Now that we've established most of the simulation tools and rendering settings we need to get through the first scene, things are speeding up! Here's some frames from overnight renders. As always, I'm updating the dro...

Here's a gif of shot 2 shown above with that fluid simulation put to good use! Files for the shots are on the dropbox folder found here! <3 Development progress will be continually posted!

Working on shot #2 and we're already ankle-deep in some fluid simulations! Here's the initial fluid being tossed about as a preview! This is a second that happens off-camera and it lets the sim initialize with the objects. I'll show what the full sim looks like for render dragons and masters when it's calculated ^^

I've begun the process of creating the first animation proper now that the scene is set, I've animated and finalized all the kinks to render shot#1. Here's frame 64!

I'm starting on the first animated sequence, a POV vore clip with a Cobra character created by the votes from Render Masters! I've just figured out how to tie everything together - Here's a frame:

Hey there! If you don't hang out on discord but you're a Render Dragon or Master, here's the Dropbox link of my VFX library! It's not very big at the moment, but we can make it bigger together :D

Last time I made this animation for 8 day it was 3 seconds and 15 fps.. Now it's 10 seconds, 24fps and at 4K, with all simulations re-rendered at a higher resolution too!
Thank you for your support!
Don't they ever? I've noticed 15 of you didn't make it in the server!
