So...
As a patreon for over a year plus now i can tell you this about 26... when he shows w.i.p. he never is too far out from the finished product. as a fellow animator and as a discord member. he spends on average of 5-6 hours a day in sfm. which is a lot of time to devote to the same thing day in and day out for 5 YEARS.
renders can take a full 24 hours if he renders everything in one go.
as far as FULL MOON 2 is concerned...
26 has 95% of the sex animations done. he likes to add extra 1-2 second scenes after all the renders to tie the scenes together nicely.
as he has been focusing on eye movement head movement fixing weird loop glitches sfm does and making sure hair doesn't clip(sometimes) and boobs arent ripping the skin to hard. adding more little details to the moans so its not too repetitive and that he maximes what he can do in a single loop takes more time than you might realize.
26 probably still needs to do the "plot scenes" leading up to sex, as he always does those last. however, due to them being relatively short scenes they require more time to make characters walk, transition from pose to pose and overall animate cause he's not looping the same things and making minor adjustments once he has a good few frames to loop.
99% OF HIS PATRONS TELL HIM TO STOP RUSHING PROJECTS!!!!!
the few of us who support him only want him to produce the best quality he can, and rushing projects cause people need it now doesnt make anyone feel better about the project once its done if it looks like shit. so if he feel pressured to rush a project, he does more loops tht seem endless cause he feels pressured to push out content rather than perfect it.
26 got most of the cum scenes animated and done with.
he hasn't even sent the videos to the va's for sound.
he has to wait for that to return. also has to see if silkymilk and ladylustria are available as those are his first two choices. upwards of a few weeks on average for confirmation, recording and send wav files back to 26.
(he has never done this much in one project.
20+ scenes with a bunch of models takes time)
than he has to compile all the sounds. than render that to make the movie.
sometimes he renders multiple versions of quality. this all takes time.
than he makes a trailer few days to a week before release.
usually release at the end of month or right at the beginning to get paid for what he deserves, his time and effort put into the film.
and through all that time in effort...
he is a father, has a family, is married,
and also is working on HELENA V. PREDATOR and usually releases a minute long loop every month for his patrons (last one being kokoro earlier this month)
just give him some time guys. it may very well be a december/january release, but it's worth the wait even to admire all the effort he puts in to make these scenes improve with every movie.
Thank you for coming to my tedX talk!
