Description A snippet from this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7pdKL…

I've made tons of changes to this model since I posted my first test animation with this model:

-The face's mesh was completely overhauled. So no more weird deformations around the mouth area when talking like last time.

-The mouth itself is bigger this time too, and the snout shape has been adjusted.

-I've also added a subtle eyeshadow that's present in the 2D animation.

-The materials have been changed significantly, and the coat has more texture detail.

-I've implemented the "Filmic Blender" color management mod into Blender so that the image has a far better dynamic range and color accuracy than what Blender comes with by default.

-The front and back hooves rigging has been overhauled to look better  and be more show accurate, as well as to be more animator friendly.

-I've change my approach when it comes to animating this model. I've decided to not be completely reliant on using the original 2D animation as a reference, and just going with what I feel would be good in a 3D setting, while only using the 2D animation to get the key poses for the most part.

-The hair is still a bitch to manually animate god dammit.

-Many other minor changes that makes the model look that much nicer.

Stay tuned for more animation tests. The animation seen in this gif and video linked above was to test out who expressive her face could be when she's angry. I'd say it was pretty successful. There will be more to come!

I use Blender for everything I do. It's free open source software that I use for 3D animation, modeling, rigging, and rendering.

Same here! The amount of effort that goes into programming all those animation systems blows my mind. The models are so expressive and cartoony!

The walking animation when she  turns around looks very natural.  Good job.  Her butt looks a but flat, like she's sitting on something.  I think it should be a bit more rounded/fuller.

You probably need an extra bone or proper weighting around the "shoulder". There's a nasty bit of deformation there.

TheRealDJTHED In reply to Naqel [2017-03-24 22:28:21 +0000 UTC]

Hah, I figured someone would notice the sloppiness there eventually. I actually think it's a problem with the mesh itself. I've worked on the vertex weights in that area for ages to try to get it to bend right, but my inexperience creating models with proper topology is the main problem. I'll have to rework that shoulder area soon.

If you'd feel comfortable sharing the files, in a format that can be opened with blender, I could take a closer look and try to help a bit.

I'll do what I can on my own first. If I absolutely have to, I'll seek direct help, but I would like to keep the risk of this model leaking anywhere as low as possible until I have finalized it for an official release.
