Update: What am I working on?
🕑 Added 2021-11-04 15:30:27 +0000 UTCHi there People!
Since the next project might take a while I just wanted to share with you the... thought process (?) behind it. I hope you find it interesting.
Usually, when I make animations, it all starts with me testing something new and then keep building context around it.
I'll share with you some very very poorly made stuff, but at least you kinda get the idea of how I develop theese and what challenges can pop up while doing so.
All without going into much detail to not bore you to death.
Again, I hope you'll find this interesting, if so, please let me know. I actually don't mind sharing some WIP info, just not sure when to do so since it spoils the whole surprise and anticipation eheh
Also I'll share some links here, if for some reason you want to keep these badlooking WIPs feel free to download them, as I may end up ereasing them in the feature to save space!
>> Anyway let's start! <<
The idea was to have the physics on the whole body instead of a bunch of spheres glued togheter and make that inflate to a big rounded shape. Since her powers kinda would've fit I choosen to use Mrs Incredible again.
First issue, the mesh of the body works until a certain extent with the cloth physics I use: if I keep inflating, the shape would feel like more of a suit inflation for my eye.
I mean it's usable, I'll end up using this method actually, but the mesh destroys soon after this point, and becomes unusable or the limbs kinda strech weirdly.
I was able to get this out of it for now:

> So at this point I needed another mesh for the inflationn phase 2, a more spherical one.
I quickly built this star shape thing to test the physics and this is what I got:
Looks super horrible, but it's getting somewhere
Here's a small test in motion: CLICK HERE
Still looks super horrible, but oh my god it's working!
Ok... Now I needed some quick textures:
Oh my god, still super duper horrible but what gives, let's try this one:
CLICK HERE
At this point I was convinced it could actually work good for something like blueberry or so... we'll see soon with some other unfortunate char maybe.
Back on track, I decided to have another inflation phase in between the two using the said sphere glued togheter method.
Using that I waas able to get something like this:

Ok, cool, everything's working, now I need to come up with a context, and maybe a small story.
I wanted this to happen in some kind of city square or plaza, so I quickly smashed togheter a few assets, modeled a few things and...

Well it was very messy, so I really needed to smooth things out. And that's why I deleted everything and made this:
Much better looking!
I'm currently texturing it and it will take a while, and also I still need to add more stuff to liven it up, but I think I nailed what I had in mind eheh
If you came this far reading, wow, really appreciated!
In this animation I'll try to invest a bit more time than usual, to test what I've learned so far, so I'm not really sure when the release is gonna be, but I'll let you know.
Remember that all the stuff you see is subject to change:
As I destroy entire maps, I can change plans on whatever thing until it's finished. eheh
Oh, one last quick thing, a small very bad animation to test the layout on the map:

Thanks as always for the support!
Have a nice day!
Cya! :)

Yes indeed! I think it's the most complex project up until now! I agree with you that the spherical one is more suited for stuff like blueberry or heavier in general, I'll follow up on that with future projects ;)
Gino Bagnino
That's a lot of job, I see that you are working hard for this video! Congrats! I think that "sphere glued togheter method" is the best way whereby you can highlight the breast, butt, arms and legs. The result looks good! The spherical way instead could be good for a future video of a blueberry inflation!
XTENSE
Thank you to reading indeed! I didn't know if you would be interested, but since the video can take time, it's something I can share with you in the meantime. Happy you for appreciating it!
XTENSE
Appreciate you noticing all this stuff ahha You actually listed 2 of the new stuff I'm doing for this one: For the crowd I think I got everything I need, the screen will need some adjustments. But yeah, a lot of effort put into this one :)
Squidooshi
Thank you so much for the breakdown of the creative process! It's great to see the progression

I like that ideal how about the people cheering her on like how guys cheer another guy or girl on when he’s or she starts chugging down a whole container of beer.
RandomDudeGamer
Everything looking phenomenal and glad it all started to work properly! Can’t wait to see this. Wonder if you plan to do something like phases where instead of it all happening at once she has starting phase. Then second phase is her inflated a little more. Then third stage a little more. Then so on and so forth. Could even have the crowd chafing more so she keeps going?

Kamala should and must inflate to pop!
Cafeterialoca
I gotta say, you're going above and beyond the effort for this one! A crowd? TV screens on the buildings? My goodness! You're going big! Though hopefully Elastigirl will be bigger ;) Fingers crossed this ends in an explosive KABOOM!!!
Shadow
These look great and I can’t wait to see it when it gets posted mmk. P.S.have you ever thought about using miss marvel from the dc universe for a video you know the character who can stretch and morph her body just like miss incredible hmm? https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Kamala_Khan_(Earth-616)?file=IVX_Vol_1_3_Inhumans_Variant_Textless.jpg
