Hey it's me, Lucky

I talk about Things and Stuff. What those Things and Stuff may be will vary day to day.

btw if you ever see me tag something with 'remember this thing lucky' it's just a personal tag so I can, yknow, remember it.

It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...

I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!

I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!

(lots more after the Read More cut...!)

Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍

There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.

When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.

These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.

Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…

Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.

Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄

I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?

After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.

As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️

This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.

Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.

Say it with him, folks!!

For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.

Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.

I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?

Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!

Losing my mind over the newsletter scene--

Tenna was warned something bad would happen to Spamton if he signed the contract, but pressed for it anyway. He thought he'd be able to help. He thought that if they were together it would be ok. oh my god.

And then Spamton runs away, and they have no way of contacting each other, and Tenna has to tell himself that Spamton abandoned him for greener pastures because the alternative haunts him.

They both knew. They both knew something terrible would happen, and they did it anyways. Spamton was willing to risk everything for Tenna, and Tenna wanted to see it through together no matter the consequences.

Tenna is so haunted- I am so vindicated- I knew he held guilt in his heart. "We don't need a mail guy" he says while visibly sulking. How quick he switches from disappointment that there isn't any fanmail, to disappointment that the "mail guy" isn't there. "That's fine. You'll just never get to see it again." he says, if you turn around before he finishes his spiel. He says, if you don't run down the hall to see the mail guy room. How even in his personally crafted retelling of the signing, where he paints Spamton as the villain and himself as the victim, he can't bring himself to omit how terrified Spamton looked as he ran away. Can't bring himself omit his own selfishness. The only thing broken in Spamton's old dressing room is the mirror. The only thing Tenna physically took out his anger on was a reflection of himself.

And in the new scene. 'Mike' gets angry at him, and Tenna immediately assumes it's over losing Spamton. How many years ago was that at this point? Why is that even on his mind, let alone his first assumption? (Because he's haunted.) "Why is it my fault he ran out on me!?" "I could have helped him! I would have! We could've been big together!" "You cared about him too, Mike..." "I can never... forget the slime" ohhhhhh Tenna the guilt is eating you, you bastard (affectionate)

susie's story (esp in ch4) is so deftly realised. so often you see the "character who thinks little of themself is encouraged to pursue their True Value" storyline unfold in a way that has the character redirected away from "unfitting" desires, like a physically weak character who wants to be physically strong learning to value their personality instead or whatever but susie. susie who is - mechanically, in her stats in the game - best suited to hitting things with an axe, who "doesn't look like she should be playing the piano", is encouraged to pursue a skill she doesn't have because an educator took the time to get to know her and realise what she has genuine passion for. and she's not automatically great at it! she has objectively bad spelling and grammar in her letter to alvin, it's not like she unlocked some secret hidden talent - storytelling and communicating and creative expression in general is something she cares a lot about and genuinely enjoys, but it's something she has to work for. there's a reason why the gerson fight is so long and gruelling. but through this hard work and better understanding of herself we see susie learn how to reject imposed frameworks that occlude her actual personality - she literally shatters the tapestry that tells her the one and only way her story can end, and in doing so prevents Kris from ever having the chance to think of her in that position, whatever it is. it's her story, and she's learning how to tell it.

AND all of this is done without for even a second implying she needs to be even the tiniest bit more feminine than her rough and rude masculine self. hell, from the way she and gerson mirror each other in their loud and abrasive laughs, her unapologetic butchness is presented as a trait that aligns her closer with him and from there with her truest self

[moofshroom]

toby fox saying “people compare susie and undyne and yeah i can see how they get there but undyne is part of The Establishment she has a position of power and friends in her life.” and the unspoken notion that susie, as opposed to all of that, is someone who has always been the underdog…..that undyne’s rashness, rowdiness, and passion gives her her title and the respect of those around her whereas when susie exhibits similar traits she’s disregarded and seen as troublesome and disruptive. ohhhh my beautiful susie….
