Animation by Tessai and sound by Laarel.
As our blender animations get more complicated and varied there's more room for mistakes to happen, as well as problems we can't solve within a small frame of time. I'm finally back to learning blender after months of playing catchup and all of us learning a new workflow, but in the meantime I'm asking you to be patient with mistakes in our videos.
I typically won't release an animation until I feel it's perfect, but after I put in so much time with this one I couldn't bear NOT releasing it. The edge of the pillow was quite honestly a detail I just missed in testing frames. Tifa's hair I am still boggled by. I'm not sure if it needed more samples, a higher resolution, or if it's just a bad model in terms of hair. Or maybe there's something else I am not thinking of, such as clamping or corrective smooth? This isn't the first time I've had trouble with Tifa's hair in Blender, but I'm determined to figure out what's causing the shimmering effect. If you have any input on what it needs, feel free to share.
TL;DR Please be patient with us as we're always learning. Obvious mistakes will sometimes be released so as not to deprive you of content.
EDIT: Fixed the 1080p VR link to actually be 1080p instead of 4K. Thanks to Sabita for pointing it out.

Throw it up on the discord channel and I'll get to it in order, for sure.

Can we get this remastered with the new angle?
Dark Dreams
Thanks for the heads up. I updated it with a new link yesterday, and it worked for me and others who tested it. If you're using an old version of the post, such as the first email notification it may not work.

Your VR 1080p link is dead, FYI

Maybe that was bad wording on my part, I think you’re right and what I’m trying to say is the scale seems off. In other words it feels like I’m 7ft tall in VR.

I am using oculus go, when its in skybox player and regular media viewer it seems like im to far to enjoy it, makes her look to small, like your a tower against her. thats the only reason, everything else is good :D

I'm going to copy and paste this reply to ThatGuy as well in hopes of getting a clear answer. I've checked this multiple times on my devices, and the positioning is spot on. If anything, I would actually make the scale of everything just a bit smaller. Moving the camera closer would, in my opinion, actually be less realistic and ruin the immersion. Why do you want this with a closer camera angle in VR?

i agree, can you remake this with a closer camera angle please?
Dark Dreams
Sorry about that, nerobravo! It's tough getting the scale and camera just right. I'll keep this in mind the next time I am working and try a different camera distance as well as scales.

I love this position and animation, but it feels like the POV is really far away.
Can't seem to download this one, just the audio file, looks great too :(
God knows I love tanlines
ThatGuy
we need more of this! thank you for an amazing VR animation ;D
