The comic in development, that i mentioned in my last post. Is now on page 72. I'm hoping people like it for what it is. Each page still hasn’t been post processed in photoshop. The speech bubbles still need adjusting and fixing, the text, spell checked and worded correctly. But the overall script and outline is there. I'm going to try and post updates more often. So, for now, here is the first couple of seconds of the two animations I was working on previously. That have been put on hold whilst I complete this comic. They're both a lot further along than the previews. But because I've decided to complete the comic rather than release it in 2 halves. It's going to be a little while before I post a completed project. the animations, once complete, will only be a couple of minutes long.
As I progress towards mastering the software, I look back at previously rendered stuff and cringe at what I produced. It makes me want to delete it all and start a fresh. But we're talking hours and hours of posing and rendering. It's bottlenecked it two places. firstly, because of the amount of free time I have. And secondly, during that free time. Once I have set the animation frames, I click process and then have to wait for the computer to render the sequence of images before I can do anything else. Before I can set the next scene. Unfortunately, with Daz3d, you can only run one copy of the programme at a time. So, whilst rendering, I can’t work on anything else.
I Know the lip sync isn't perfect. I could criticize this all day. But, I need to appreciate where I've come from. I am, still a animation newb.
This animation is rendered at only 16FPS, less than half the number of frames as the one above. It means no fancy camera movements though. I've also rendered the characters separate to the background. It saves a considerable amount of time. Going forward, I can probably forgive the quality difference. If it means out putting stuff on a more regular basis.
Anyway, I'll try and post another progress report in a couple weeks. the current comic might not be ready until the end of July. I have a lot going on at the moment , so please bear with me.
This is great work keep it up FaW :)
