Encore, Friday update.

I thought this week I’d be focusing purely on animation, but I got a bit stuck with an outfit and the whole thing turned into variety/testing/exploration.
Here are two scenes of a girl entering a building, who can spot the problem?
Two things:
1. There’s a big issue with the skirt. It’s not rigged properly and stretches massively when she climbs or... basically do anything.
2. I need the outfit to react to the wind and, ideally, her movement as well.
Btw, I think this jump-in was one, if not the hardest piece I've done so far. It really took me a while to get from this to that.
At some point I’ll need to fix these problems, might as well do it now. Already better.
I also wanted to make some test renders with the girl in the room, just to see where things currently stand. I’m not happy with them.
Yesterday I saw a trailer called - "Destiny: Rising | Gwynn Character Trailer". I know nothing about the game, but it looks amazing. Very close to the lighting I want for some outdoor and couple indoor shots.
"Destiny: Rising | Gwynn Character Trailer"Then I immediately remember another one - "The Blood of Dawnwalker — Cinematic Trailer"
"The Blood of Dawnwalker — Cinematic Trailer"Are you kidding me, HOW!? HOW is it looking that good compared to mine?
Jesus, that stretched skirt...I don't think it's just color grading and heavier post production. I think something is missing, but I can't get it. ( Grading and more compositing will help for sure, but I am thinking more about the lighting setup in itself )
Well, what can I say, keep moving forward and I'll see you in the next one. Bye!
