The Really Realistic Animation (Remaster)
🕑 Added 2022-05-16 21:12:53 +0000 UTC"Another late night of work for the animator. The patrons asked to see Samus, and Samus they'll get. The animator rubs his eyes. Perhaps he should've started on this project earlier in the day. Maybe he'll close his eyes for nary a second. But when he opens them, he will find that his animation has come to life like never before!"
Animation by Wanksy, sound by Laarel, voice by the aspiring Codename.
As glad as I was to remaster this, there were some glaring issues that need to be addressed. The textures on the model aren't great. And although I used to work as a texture artist, spending time to fix these issues was a bit too much for me to handle given how much I had to do. This is one of the few things that turn me off from remasters, and that's models with issues that only become apparent in VR. For instance, in the original animation you can't even see the texture problems. But in attempting to make this as realistic as possible, you can clearly spot problems at the wrist. It's awesome that you can clearly see her grabbing your head as she rides you, but it's a problem that the texture seams and pixelization are so obvious in VR.
This is our first time working with Codename, and she did an amazing job in terms of what we asked of her. She IS working with a mic that isn't great, and that's why the sound isn't 100% quality. That said, we did the best we could and she has a new microphone on the way.
The last major issue I ran into was the lighting. In the original scene, a lot of quality was lost due to volumetrics, as well as it only being a true 4K scene. Now with the 8K, I had to redo the lighting to make it more realistic, which kind of lost some of the backlit overglow that the first handled so well. Not really a major issue to me, but for others who compare to the first scene I can see why they might be dissapointed. It's more realistic, but not as colorful.
Now, that all said, I love how much better this looks, and I'm glad I was able to remaster it. As one of our first scenes with Wanksy in Blender, I never really liked how it turned out given how inexperienced I was in Blender at the time. Jeckylll was more than glad to help me turn this into a proper, seamless loop, and even extended the duration of the scene. So, it's different, and has it's flaws, but it's a better overall VR experience, and it even has a funscript now.
Enjoy!
