Woohoo! That looks nice! A little more definition in the details especially with the scales and it's perfect :D If only all clients are like that hahaha! One could dream! Looking forward to the process video for this, I'm kind of expecting some water-themed music to accompany it haha!
Cetaceans don't have scales XD I know I'm calling the merminnows minnows but these ones are kind of mini-cetaceans and don't have scales either XD
It's got a way to go before it's done, I still have a million (or maybe about six or so) lighting layers to go and then 2-3 colour overlays! I don't think I'll hit perfect but hopefully it will be good enough when it's done :D I'm actually kind of flattered people like it in its flat partway state ^_^
You probably would have laughed at the 10min of angsting I did on whether or not I should give them fish tails and if I did if they were to have an awkward adolescence spent trying not to swim in circles as the flukes rotated from vertical to horizontal or perhaps whether they should chuck a Pokemon and just flash evolve into the dolphin form...aaargh why do I have to give absolutely everything a backstory where one doesn't already exist XD
No water themed music sadly, just my usual fare. This is the first time I'm doing a process video for an entire render like this (well almost entire, I was partway through setting up the 3d bases when it occurred to me that this was a good opportunity to record a rendered piece from close enough to the beginning to the end), I may be close to 10hrs now, so not looking forward to doing the music track x_x may have to be a pipe separated list rather than the usual bullets!
Ohhh I didn't realize you were going down the mammal root. The merminnows look like a force to be reckoned with, with scales or none! I fully trust your process.
I probably would have hahaha! What am I saying? I'm laughing right now hahaha!
Haha!! Maybe you can trim it down by adding intermission cards like "10 minutes later" then skipping to it haha!
I am thinking about adding screens with the session numbers on it but will see what plays out after I've timelapsed the videos down. Already planning on just basically running the song clips and seeing where they end up and not even going to try matching them to their sessions XD
Haha that would be fine either way. I get how being too nitpicky might not be worth it here. As long as your happy with the finished result, I'm sure it would be enjoyable to watch :)
