First, I’d like to thank everyone for their
encouraging comments. They really are appreciated.
Here is Episode 2.5. It’s kind of a short
extra, and not really part of the main narrative, but I liked the idea, and had
done some work on it before my CG projects went into hibernation. Many of you
will no doubt notice that the 'device' involved owes a big debt to a certain
comedy movie of the 1970’s…
I’ve also been busy with something else.
One of the big 'pains' involved in CG animation is the time it takes to render
the final images. However, the real time rendering now available in some 3D
games engines (especially Unreal 4), is already impressively realistic.
Furthermore, these games engines make the creation of various environments, lighting
and volumetric/particle effects (such as fire, smoke, fog, etc.) easier than in 'conventional' CG animation software. For that reason, as a kind of 'proof of
concept', I’m creating another short animation using a combination of Blender
and Unreal Engine. So, prepare to meet the cruel, disgusting, atrocious Snapper
from the planet Adjustia! If all goes well with that, I’ll produce Episode 3
using the same animation pipeline.
Good job! I really like the idea! Anxiously waiting for the sotry to continue... Big fan from Brazil!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing detail...great work. Will there be this detail during Susan's weekend with Sebastian?
ReplyDeleteLove the idea. The world is really taken form.
ReplyDeleteDisappointed, we waited too long to see a small video that has nothing
ReplyDeleteI understand that this was episode 2.5, and therefore not the full next episode in the series - I think it sets the scene very well for what will happen in 3. I like to think that as John is made aware of what will be happening at the weekend, and anguishes over it, Susan's credits will begin to soar... Love the quality of the graphics.
ReplyDeleteLamivex,
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent bridge to Episode 3. Now we know what Susan will use to test John's collar.
Can't wait.
Staying tuned

Have you checked out Source Filmmaker?
ReplyDeleteIt's free to any Steam account (also free to sign up) and seems popular with the videogame/cg porn crowd.
I think my other half wants to get me a version of the snapper you described to torment me with....sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteCome on! Come on! where is the next post? You are the best, but waiting for the next post is like watching paint dry. You need to recruit some able assistance, your imagination, your creation but it really needs delegation at this juncture. You have the following, it is time to advance.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments. Incidentally, as ptathuk pointed out in a previous comment, John's collar is in the bag that Susan has with her. I actually thought about (and even modeled) a handbag for Susan that would contain her cellphone, but eventually decided that she'd put it inside the bag with John's collar, so it doesn't actually appear!
