No preview but rendering started last night! Looks like about 15ish hours per angle, based on angle 1 at least. Angle 1 is almost done so I should be able to post on... the 26th? Or early on the 27th? Assuming no issues pop up.ALSO, I experimented with a few new addons, and while most weren't a great fit for this animation, I've got some ideas for the next one! (fluid painter is so good omg)I also learned a new way to texture paint, so that should be less of a headache going forward.And perhaps most importantly, I've regained that sense of curiosity and experimentation that tends to lead to good results, so... let's hope it stays that way for a while!

Ok so the fluids did NOT want to obey, but I think I've got things pretty locked in now. Not totally happy with it, but I can easily run a few extra simulations while I work on the final fluid painting & camera details. Sorry it's taken so long, but we're finally nearly done. This has taken so long I think a new project will feel like a vacation.Should only be 1-2 days tops before I can render. Not sure how long render will take, but I'm aiming for about 12 hours per angle. I'll post a final update once render starts letting you all know the timeframe.Thank you all again for your patience. This one REALLY got away from me.

Ok last update before render I think. Still need to do fluids but everything else is 100% locked in now. Gave top rouge butt/thigh physics, did boob physics for bottom and a small bit of belly physics too. Redid balls physics, did lower rouge face animation. Fixed weird eye flicker thing. Eyelash/hair physics for top rouge and fixed the clipping. Rearranged scene a bit. Will probably add eyelash phys for bottom one too, and I should probably reduce light on side of top rouge's face.Ran into some problems since the way I was setting up the fluid collisions no longer works as of Blender 5.0 (importing animation as an mdd file), but it's fixed now.Now it's just a matter of whether or not the fluids will obey.I cannot wait to be done with this one lol. The longer an animation takes, the harder it is for me to work on it. Luckily it also gets easier to work on when I near the end.

Got previews for all 4 angles! Finalized movement and did some physics. Made mouth more squishy and reactive. Gave top rouge a tan line and some glasses. Still need to do bottom rouge breast physics. Should be able to avoid the clipping and adjust the futa pov better afterwards.There's also something weird going on with the eyes? Didn't notice until angle 2 was half way done rendering. Should be simple to figure out.Pretty close to fluids now!Still feels like I'm working in slow mo but the consistency is improving a lot. I think the fact that this has taken so long itself is effecting me on top of everything else, so hopefully when this is done I can improve even more!

Hey! Been a bit. I stuck the life update at the bottom so I don't drown out the actual preview with my personal stuff, so feel free to skip that if you like, it's a bit of a downer.That said, things are moving closer to normal speed now! Position/angle feels a bit wonky to me so I'll need to adjust that, but I think the general idea is there. Still need to set up lighting but I think it looks good for a start. This will be a fluid loop of course. Wanted a decent gag/cough in this one so that should be fun with the fluids.Currently gonna be adjusting pose/camera angle and setting up lighting. Will add some animation variation and move to physics after that! Once I get things dialed in I think this one could turn out great. Gonna try for both povs too.-Life update:So, there's two parts to this. Part one is good news, part two is not. Part one is the panic attacks are gone, I think. I ended up only having 3 total, each one being about half as long as the last. I don't think I'll be having any more, at least not any time soon. I've pretty much figured out how to manage sleep without risking another, though my sleep schedule is totally destroyed now lol. That's not to say that my sleep is normal again, but I can function now. All in all, big improvement on that part!.Mr. dog has cancer. Not much we can do about it. Another lump grew under his chest incision before it could even finish healing. So I've been getting used to that reality for a while. That said, he seems happy and comfy right now! I was advised to give him Benadryl to help deal with the side-effects of the mast cell tumors, since those apparently release histamines if disturbed. He healed up well by the way! Always was a strong boy.[I've included some before and after pictures, as well as pics of him just being cute] First 5 images are just him being cute, the rest are before/after surgery.We've transitioned to just keeping him happy and comfortable. He's had more people food in the past few weeks than he knows what to do with. Made him a tuna sandwich the other day. I want to have him try all kinds of stuff while he can.
