Preview of shot #06 is here! ποΈ
This is only the first half of the shot, I'll update this post when the whole footage is done rendering.
The animation should be done before the end of the month; I'll post a few more previews from the climax I am currently working on before uploading the whole...

Preview of shot 05 ποΈ
I think I'll tone down the expressiveness a little for the next shot; it's a tad overdone here π
The next shot will be about 20-25 seconds long, and might be ready before the end of the month. I'll be working on the climax while it's rendering.

And here is the preview with sound!
I looped it once, so it's 2 times the same minute of footage. At the speed things are going, I should have another minute done by the end of next week and start rendering the climax of this pose a week after.

We're about halfway through for part 1.
I am planning on it being about two and a half minutes in total with the climax, and I'll be aiming for the same length for part 2.
I'll put together all three shots released so far with sound effects later this week.

Well, it was a bit of a journey to get this shot done!
Teleporting trees, memory issues, missing textures⦠It's all sorted now, and the next shot should come out much faster now. I am currently halfway through rendering this specific shot, which will take 31 hours in total, and there is a second shot ...

The poll for part 2 is up!
It closes at the end of the month, and the winning scene will be used as the basis for the second part of "The Lodge".

First shot of "The Lodge" is done!
Currently completing the main animation loop, which will serve as a basis for the wider shots. After the next shot, the other ones should be completed at a faster rate.
I will also post the poll for Part 2 of the animation before the end of the week, with previe...
Ok, the first shot is almost done and ready to render!
I am trying to get footage out faster than I did on the park, with hopes of releasing "Part 1" for the end of the month.
I'll also launch a poll later this week for you guys to vote on what should happen in "Part 2" !
2025-02-06 00:40:43 +0000 UTC View Post
First previews of the full scene!
This should be Part 1, and I will upload shots as they get rendered like I did for "The Park".
You'll notice I added a bit of furniture and props to the scene. It looks nice, but when loading everything without any optimizations, I currently run out of video memor...

Hope everyone's having a good weekend! Just an update to say that the scenery is essentially done (still a few things I want to do, but it can wait), and I'll be moving forward with the animation.
The first screenshots should be out by the end of the week, and the first shots will start coming out next month.

He's here πΊ !
I had other plans for this preview (you might notice the lack of mountains), but I didn't want to delay any longer.
Basically, I improved on what I did for the ground materials and used that method to texture the lodge. It's a bit technical, but in short, it saves a lot on memory...

So this week has been busy!
First I spent a few days setting up nodes to load and paint materials directly in Houdini. The most notable use for this will be for the snow, and transitioning organically between differe...

Happy New Year everyone! π
Got back to work on the scenery after a couple of weeks off. I'll try not to take too much time on it; making clouds and forests is fun and all, but it's not really the main attraction π.

Not the final version, but it's a start :)
I'll have to bevel some harsh angles and break down the repeating textures a bit to make it look more natural.

Early look at the actual lodge π
I'll post a preview with textures tomorrow, if I can manage to sort this mess of meshes π
My goal is to get this thing up and ready within 10 days, along with the mountainous landscape and trees, before the holidays.

Owen and Amelia are finally ditching their cat paws for proper wolf ones πΎ
I think I will also rework their shape a little for "The Lodge" animation.

This time I am doing mixed species only to make sure the feline characters are used π±. For the straight version, the second species listed is the female one (so either fox or leopard).

What the scenery will look like for the next animation ποΈ
Gaea 2.0 is still a bit buggy, but the results are quite good! This is just one tile of the full terrain, so I will have to generate the other ones - more mountains, with a lake in the middle.
After I'm done with the distant scenery, I...
