Project Omega - Updates #5
🕑 Added 2023-06-28 09:54:23 +0000 UTCHello, friends! I'm back with an update on Project Omega. Let's dive into the latest developments!

- Scenes
- Animation
- Animation 2 (in progress)
- Animation 3 (coming soon)
- 5 tasks remaining
Now, onto the good news!
I'm excited to share that the audio files for the movie will all be delivered soon! The estimated completion date for the final audio is the 4th of next month. Once I have all the audio files, I'll move on to the third stage of animation. This stage involves animating the characters' facial expressions and synchronising them with the voice acting.
This month, I started reworking all the movie scenes by completely changing the lighting and adding various effects. I've been able to apply the things I've learned throughout this year, and I'm grateful for that. It has helped me improve the overall look and feel of the movie.
Here's the plan outlined in the roadmap:
- After animating the faces, I'll render the movie in lower quality and assemble the entire movie with audio. Essentially, it will be a draft version of the movie in low quality.
- I, along with some helpers, will watch this draft version to identify any errors that need fixing. Once we identify them, I'll make the necessary adjustments before rendering the movie in high quality.
- Finally, with all the errors fixed and the movie rendered in high quality, it will be ready for release!
But there's more good news!
The audio files I've received so far have exceeded my expectations. I'm thrilled with how the characters sound and the quality of the voice acting. In fact, it has inspired me to work harder on the movie and has helped me overcome the burnout I was experiencing with this project.
Furthermore, I've learned a new technique for "the setup of multi-angle animations" last month which will make creating movies much less stressful in the future. Although I'm not certain if I can implement this setup in the current movie, I will definitely give it a try because it would greatly simplify my work process and improve the overall quality.
Work in Progress (WiPs):
I've posted some additional work-in-progress (WiP) images on Discord and Dropbox in the "other folder." Feel free to check them out!
Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more updates on Project Omega!
