....albiet very minimal as far as rigging goes, and some of the blendshapes are just plain broken. (eyebrows mostly)
Being my first model and rig, im stickin to just blendshapes for face control. Maybe I'll go for a hybrid joint/blendshape next time? Skeleton rigging can be complex as all hell.
Textures are placeholder. Technically its not textured at all yet, just colored polygons. Hopefully Ill figure out how to unwrap the thing for a proper UV. Eyes are also Temporary...ish.
Just...a LOT of this is all temporary. I'm still getting used to it all.

Lerning sum modeling
1 min read
You know that Lynda site a lot of YouTubers are being sponsored by lately? Turns out its actually pretty nice...
Managed to watch one course and work this out in one day after having virtually no experience modeling. I've animated in Maya, but this is the first ....relatively cool thing Ive made.
Recognize the character? (still missing some features)

Long time, no pony.

Been pretty dull around my parts for a bit. Just taking it pretty slow as of late, but still randomly working on stuff here and there.
You may or may not have seen some brief shots of that "memories" video I was working on. Its mostly done, except for some filler animations in the background, which I just haven't really figured out what they will be yet... but its still around somewhere, to be completed "someday".
But I've also been working on a second thing, toying with Octavia walking around on 2 feet.
Shes still not running around, but its lookin better
She asplodes, too.
Just a test to show what the green screens are for.
So anyways, I say this a lot, but I hope I can actually finish these soon...ish. I really, really want them done, too.

The eyebrows
1 min read
OK so I'm well aware that people hate using the eyebrows... and I even said they are hard as balls to use. Im no master at making those things.
BUT... I need to know if anyone actually likes what they CAN do and what they COULD look like if used.
I'd like at least some opinion before I work on them for another 2 minutes of the video.
Try not to immediately focus DIRECTLY on them for at least the first playthrough and analyze ever little flaw in them, (that may be hard after seeing the thumbnail below) but look at the video as a whole, if they distract or whatever...

I get to ramble on for a bit!
Like the title says:
Thanks for everyone's support and giving me a watch here on deviantArt or a subscribe on YouTube. Its been about one year since I started watching ponies and contributing random SFM pony things here and there.
(Smile! Smile! Smile!

being my first pony video, anniversary next month!) I haven't released any MAJOR videos like that since. Takes a lot of work and I'm still surprised I did that in a month. I do, however, have a similar video nearly finished. I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about. you can dig around and find a rather old WIP of it in my gallery somewhere.

I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about. you can dig around and find a rather old WIP of it in my gallery somewhere.No solid release date. Its had its issues.
In the meantime... Here's another WIP teaser to look at what I'm toying around with right now.
*VERY MUCH* a work in progress.
"A dirty behind the scenes teaser look at an upcoming video. Lots of stuff is broken, nothing final. Lights mostly temporary so I can kind of see how its turning out so far.
All one shot, no 'blades'. (if you use sfm, you should know what that means) Though that will probably have to change when I start adding lots of shadow enabled lights.
The Floaty turquoise camera thing around Twilight represents the actual camera angle."
Confused? Good. Then its not completely spoiled unless you saw it on twitter a while ago.
If you look at my previous journal, it has a small tidbit from the real camera angle, along with a full poster render.
Also, whoever has wished me happy b-day, I tossed a llama your way. I also started always sending a llama back whenever I receive one. So If you didn't get one from me recently, I probably gave you one earlier.
So... I can't think of anything else to say other than Thanks again everyone, I look forward to another year of poneh.
I really like Lyra Pimpstrings if you can't tell.
