OK, so with Jurassica Safari Park been such a big project, switching Gears Even early on might be a good idea tho, shouldn´t do it TOO MUCH!

That Said i have gotten Akio´s Rigging atleast the very complex parts of her done pretty good, her Basic body rigging is where i think it should be at and now just missing her Face, jaw, tounge, arms and Legs, before going to work on The Limbs tho i might actually consider to Get Multires Sculpting, Textureing and maybe even the basic rigging and weight pianting done on Alex Johanna and Conner Sully´s models, agian mostly to save some time but yeah, that´s just me right now and i´ll get Akio´s Face rigging done right now and than we´ll see where i got from there,

Akio´s almost done and if i do get what i wanna get done on Alex and Conner i´d be 5/7 ways thier on thier models.

so, best to plan ahead, im i right?

so far so good, even got the fellow rotations done,

Part of me do kinda wanna Save some time agian and Get Yoko Ruby´s Sculpting, Retopo and maybe even Multires done? IDK let´s see how long it takes me getting Akio here done and if like with the Multires stage, im getting WGT Bone shapes Ready so, might, only Reason this time been Yoko Ruby is... Well she´s my mascot and 2nd i kinda think it would be a good idea as i got a Storyboard ready with her in and alot of other things (include NSFW stuff yeah)

anyways i think the reason it´s Going as is today is because it´s been a long time i last actually got this far and so, gotta relearn alot.

OK, he is Ready for later

i might give this sort of thing a go for a few other models, this will save alot of time and it was alot of fun to do, Hard but also fun, guess it´s Because of the whole "Switch to another thing" Thing but Hey it sharpens my skills and doing Conner Sully here and i think i might wanna give a better focus on my models for the Retopo, was a bit rushed but not too much.

Likewise i can see myself doing this from time to time as i work on Jurassica Safari Park, given the amount of models for it and when i Run dry of The models for THIS Project welp i might give some other critters some love, Willa Brown and Hercy are still in need of new models and Doily, Nat and Kitube need some love too amongest alot more.

anyways storyboards need to be done for my little test/Training thing. Tomororw it´s Over to Akio the T-Rex´s Rigging,

if im going to be more Active with the 3D Models, why not also do a few Animations too, always good to have a dinosaur model around, same for any 3D Model really tho, gotta for now keep to my divide and conquer plans and not go too insane JUST YET! still got 19 models to do and i want relax and have fun all the way as well as get used to my insane workflow plans... well insane for now but with time it won´t be so bad.

Conner Sully´s Retopo went Pretty Well, killing time today by doing some Training on Storyboarding,

Basicly testing out the Whole idea of useing a Storyboard Model for Storyboarding, like trace over them like i do with a Basic Sculpt, i think this is looking better, i think i´ll do that in the future and infact i might give another Project a Go after the Animatic, a Quoll Alone Project, this is only 3 pages and 15 frames but, Should be more than enough for me to Draw over them and use them as a Sketech and if not i can always Pose the Yoko Ruby Model for this or add some more variations.

Now i have this as a side project, i think now would be a good time to Say something i think might be useful for anyone who want to do Storyboards or animatics, It´s mostly on the Subject on OVER ANIMATING STORYBOARDS.

Now im not Against it go ahead if you feel like it but if not or if you do but Still feel unsure if you put too much work into it or too little Just hear me out here:

A Storyboard is a blueprint for how it´s going to Look visually, it´s Previsualization as a petter trem for it.

i still think im a bit new to useing Storyboards and finding new ways to improve is Always cool, but i don´t Want to OVER ANIMATE mine, just give enough infomation for me to give a good idea what i want to see, next up an Animatic and than i can use that for a Previz before i use the Previz for the final version of my Animations.

i Found out about a channel called Animatic pro that might not be a bad idea to check out if you feel like it might be a good style for your animatics, i did adopt it for mine and it did work out.

Well that is if that´s what you´d Like to go, like i did say do what you want just, don´t Overdo it,

for a good idea how to do it, check out some video´s on YouTube, Both from artist, Animators and movie schools

Tho Click here for Intro to Storyboading as i think it´s Too Good to Share it here,

you should also Check out Toniko Pantoja´s Videos about the Subject, these are Too good for that.

also if you want me to, i can share a Link to the Animatic for my YT Channel with Yoko Ruby so you can get an idea for it.

wasn´t Prefect, BUT! given i Sculpted his Head Yesterday, right after getting Alex Johanna´s Reotpo done, is not a bad thing, i just think when i Get to Yoko Ruby i might wanna make it a bigger focus,

im still missing to do alot BUT! as big a Task as Jurassica is, i think by Splitting it into smaller chunks has helped out alot and knowing when to do things when not to is a great thing to have.

NOW THAN! Time for Conner´s Sculpt and Retopo and we can get Akio´s model done fully before i Get Alex Johanna done and so on,

ALRIGHT so here´s my Plans right now

• Get Conenr Sully´s Sculpt and Retopo done
• Get Akio the T-Rex Done fully
• make a Good Teaser for Jurassica Safari Park to hype Everyone up(maybe First off tho Storyboards and an animatic shall be done)
• Stick to the Plans, make three to four models at a time
• get Masie and Terry´s model sheets done and Get the eyes ready for them and the Allosaurus
• if i Feel Ready for it, get Storyboards and Animatics Done

Small Steps have been taken and while i have been wanting to do some other things, i brushed those off and have stayed on Target, right than, battle´s not over yet, going to Get Conner Sully´s Face Sculpt done, i think i might however just do the Blockout of his eyes and face muscles and be done for today.

Alex Johanna is almost done none the less and that´s a Good thing,

and the Prep work, while takeing longer than wished, is going to be 100% worth it knowing what i had done on Akio´s model, also just because i didn´t get her done fully dose not mean today is a Complete fuck up.

infact with as far as i did get with Her, it has earned a smile

YEP

Thought i might wanna try and bring back the old Poly hair modeling Trick, while Hair Particals look great with Things covered in fur and feathers, i can´t Help but think Hair itself has looked a bit dodgy at times on my human OC´s So, gonna go back and do it with Poly modeling instead,

I Swear This time i hope to Crack this video and get it done right,

anyways Alex is almost done and with that means i can soon get to Conner who Let´s Face it ALSO Will Have Poly model hair too, as Will Yoko Ruby, Willa Brown and Doily agian, Nat meanwhile will still have Real fur tho.

But enough about hair talk, once We got over Retopo for Alex and Conner is it finally time for

Akio´s Rigging, better, Stronger and more animation friendly too, well more so Than Yoko Ruby was for the Trailer.

This is the Way forwards.

while i do think i might have procrastinated a bit today(atleast i think so, changed a bit on Akria but also was every before i got to post this so i can call it time wasted) and it was bit chaotic too got Alex Johanna´s face head, neck and hair done and i have also blocked out her Arms and legs well enough so, Good on that,

alright for today i hope to get the Two other creatures ready for thier models when i get there and the reason im right now sculpting Alex Johanna and Conner is because i wanted to Save a bit of time i felt like was wasted, well Wasted might be a worng word as i did get the VDM´s out of it for Akio´s model so more Spend elsewhere might be a better world,

but yeah also got a few other things to make sure of, was planning to blockout Yoko Ruby´s model, mostly her head and neck, might get around to later but, if i can and if luck is on my side, maybe even before i get to Akio´s rigging,

currently plans are as fellow

• Get Alex Johanna and Conner Sully Sculpted as well as the Retopo and poly modeling done on thier models
• prepare some other models (only the diplodocus and rhomaleosaurus)
• Blockout Yoko Ruby´s model
• Maybe Also Sculpt Leo the Lythonax

and maybe also draw an Allosaurus if i can too, so yeah more on this as i go along,

still sticking to my divide and conquer plans, keep it in chunks.

Got her Textureing done and here is the workflow

as well as adding in feathers too.

now than as planned, i´ll get to work on Sculpting Alex Johanna and Conner, starting off Tomorrow with Alex Johanna herself, THAN i can begin on rigging Akio, might test out the T-Rex Rig once she is Fully doen but, we´ll see.

over all been a Great joy getting Akio done and still got more dinosaur models to do for a big project, while still missing two more People and a dinosaur as for as sheets go, i´ll get to that when i get there.

anyways Tomorrow it´s time To sculpt Alex, finally.
