So for those of you who weren't quite satisfied with the way the front view walking animation is, here's a list of what Archie will be improving on Monday during his stream, due in part to requests from those on the Discord to have a fully polished animation for the demo rather than a decent animation for the demo and polished animation later:
Fixes include:
better feet/toe upward movement
fix clipping issue of foot during passing motion
improved arm/forearm/hand movement
Additions include:
new lighting and shading for the whole rig
necklace movement
importing final image for bottom of feet(edited)
If I'm not mistaken he also plans to animate the hair at some point in the future. Once he's finished tweaking the front walk animation on Monday he's moving on to adding the remaining constraints to the side rigs and adjusting weights so he can work on those animations next. Kuja is also working on the animation redlines for the first sex scenes.
With Archie back in full swing, a new animator being hired on, and Abelius leaving the team everything is starting to move at a decent pace.
