Is it just me or does it seem like he slightly toned down his model physics and coloring on this animation more than the others?
He did he mentioned in the patreon post that he had mental withdrawals so he had to tone it down this time but next work will be Ahri

I hope he knows that hes one of the greatest SFM animators out there in the field, and just never misses with every drop

Great Sue Storm model, it's a shame the animation is not of the same quality that he usually does.
Yeah, the model looks beautiful but I think apart from the drop in animation quality ( which is understandable, every artists will reach that point and will have those down times eventually no matter how great they are ) However I think, it's not just the animation quality that is holding this project back, the overall color grade makes everything blend together too much and I get that they were probably going for a vintage/ futuristic vibe because of the original movie being that way, but if the animation is lacking, it would be better to make the main subject stand out which is why I did a few tweaks and got this result:

Yeah it looks a tad washed out, as though the textures are a bit wrong. Perhaps it's also this particular art style, but then it's similar to Overwatch and there aren't any problems with those generally.

could you export and upload your vid with these changes?

I have never exported or uploaded any type of video on these forums. I'm just a newbie and more of a lurker, so the most you will see me do is post some screen shots of certain edits I did on my phone using whatever video editing app I have. However, I can give you the settings/numbers I used to achieve that result and then you can choose to copy or change certain parts to suite your preferred taste.
- vintage filter 20%
- contrast -20% because the background is mostly blurred so I think it's best to keep the contrast fairly stable and then sharpen the character model instead.
- warm -20%
- saturation 20%
- hue ( if you like pink skin tone go -20% but if you want the a bit of yellow to blend with the vintage filter even more, then go 20% ) mine was -20%
- vignette at 50% to make the main model stand out and add some depth to the visual
- sharpness 100% is where the entire video will pop out more with all the character details and subtle facial expressions that Nutty is known for. I use this template for almost every Nutty animation I keep and to me, it just elevates the visual eye candy even more.
Most of these edits are done using the format from above. Not all settings are the same, the filters and vignette usage depends on the type of background the video has. Ex. If background is flat and boring, use vignette to hide and add depth to the main subject. But if it's like all of his Ahri videos, don't use vignette because those are full of beautiful background details that will pop up along side the Ahri model when you sharpen it to 100%

appreciate it, thank u for the in-depth explanations behind the values

what an awful model
stiff, pancake drooling tits... he didn't try that much either
He didn't try much because he was having a rough time it seems, based on what was said in above comment/post

We're all human beings and we can't always perform at our highest capability, cut the guy some slack I'd say
