The scene is as posed as posed gets. I worked on the script tonight, and submitted it to my partner in crime for further analysis. In the meantime I’ll piece the SFM clips I’ve already rendered into the video project, probably tomorrow. Then, once the script is done we can do a small recording session! w00t!
Now the only question remaining is: What’s in the chest?
Everything went according to plan; I finished up animating, even did some touching up, and left it to render! It was all done when I returned from errands. I didn’t have much time to build the final scene, but this is how far I’ve managed to get into it:
I still need to write the ending script. It won’t be very big, the video itself is going to be more than long enough for most short attention spans (about 5 minutes). I’ll have plenty of time to mull it over tomorrow while setting the next stage!
Things have been moving along at a decent enough pace on the current Skyrim video! I finished rendering all of the green screens yesterday, and today I built a new scene! I re-listened to one of the audio bits and thought it would be better to give it a scene of its own instead of overlaying it over the background. So far I’m working through it quicker than anticipated… I might actually be learning something! FUCK.
I’m hoping to finish this up either tomorrow or Thursday at the very latest. Then I can focus on building the end cutscene. Yutram and I have been floating ideas back and forth on how to end the video… decisions, decisions… 😛
Before starting my weekend I stocked up on some emergency food on the off chance I didn’t have enough energy to make something from scratch. One of the things I bought was Poha: a flattened rice dish seasoned with turmeric, nuts and dried fruit (a common breakfast dish in India). I made some with some chai and toasted naan, and that gave me the energy to get some work done! One of these weekends I might have to try making my own Poha from scratch! It doesn’t seem to differ from other rice dishes in terms of difficulty.
I also had the pleasure of trying Oolong Chai over the weekend! Just when I thought I’ve had the full rainbow of chai I stumble upon it when going to order some Green Chai. Next thing I know I have ALL OF THE CHAI arriving on my door step a couple days later, and I finally had a weekend to enjoy it in fullest detail. 😀
All in all – I’m ready to greet the week tomorrow, at least until I won’t be. 😛
I pretty much marathon’d this after breakfast this morning, taking breaks from time to time. Next time I play I might actually finish the game, then I can do a new game+ the next, NEXT time that I play!I’ve heard that Bayonetta 2 emulates really well. Perhaps once I finally finish Bayonetta, and even go back and collect everything I’ve missed I’ll be at a point where I’ll want to buy the Wii U copy and emulate it. I’m about as likely to buy a Nintendo Switch as Nintendo is in allowing Platinum to make a PC Port of Bayonetta 2…
After finishing up Stray last weekend I ended up killing the rest of my game time with a little fun in Bayonetta, and I figured why not continue it into this weekend? I’ve been enjoying my 4K adventuring, despite numerous deaths and ass kicking. I did at least get a couple achievements tonight, so there is that!
My muscles got a lot of action this week and want a day or two to cool off. I’m probably just gonna enjoy the chill of solitary, and hopefully not be in enough pain to actually have the energy to do something. If I do end up trapped in the bed dimension though I do have some entertaining reading material to partake in. One of my friends at work cued me into this particular github. It’s pretty weird seeing github being used for the retelling of Harry Potter using nothing but Gen-Z slang, but it’s lit af.
I’ve got a case of writers block tonight. Work was tolerable, and I’ve been vibin’, chillin’ and enjoying my tiny break from reality before returning to it tomorrow. Right now I’m sitting here, drinking and breathing in the scent of cherry blossoms to hopefully carry my brain to a good place tonight.
Open Thread!
I didn’t get much done in the way of animation tonight; It was mostly spent posing and adding on accessories to our characters. I’ll probably begin animating it tomorrow. This project will probably take me awhile to finish, and probably won’t see release until next month at the very latest.
I’m thinking once I reach September I’ll try and look through the video lineup I have for December. If possible I’d like to try and finish some Left 4 Dead videos revolving around a winter campaign. I left off with two videos done, and one in progress with one more to follow. It’ll be fun seeing if I remember anything from where I stopped, heh.
