IT'S DONE!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE how this came out.
(I also learned some things while doing this so I get to yap about it down here!)
As you might know, this is my second time doing one of these big scenes! The first one was last week with Maude and The Entity.
The main thing I did new here-besides the models, though I'll talk about that later- was the lighting! For sure my favorite part to do.
This is my first time using the compositor (for the bloom effect on the spiral) and I'll definitely have to use it in the future.
I also wanted to experiment with the Blender lights! I used sun lights again but I would like to learn how to use the other types in the future.
For the models: I figured out how to give them a mouth rig! I LOVE how it looks on these characters... although I think learning how to rig the teeth properly should probably be my next goal lol.
Speaking of mouths... I did NOT realize the older animations had Bonnie opening her mouth slightly lmao. Not my intent.
I also changed their materials to be slightly metallic. It's by no means realistic but I think it works for this style.
Last, and certainly not least...
THE POCKETWATCH!!! While it's not as detailed as I would've hoped there are some cool things with the rig.
It does have the ability to open and close... AND the hour and minute hands are controlled using a driver from the winding crown. It should be accurate to how they move in real time!!!
And: it also controls the spiral in the back!

That should be about everything!!!! As I mentioned before I am SO proud with this so I would love to know what you think as well! (Though any interactions are appreciated really)
I personally think these are a good way to practice as well so maybe I'll start making them a regular thing. Full Render Weekends. Or something.
While I can't guarantee I'll do that Valentine's Day model (and I am bummed I didn't get the chance to do anything themed in time) I am considering making Diana a model and making something with her and Vint... so stay tuned for that :)
I'M SO HAPPY WITH HOW THESE TWO TURNED OUT!!! I'll try to have a scene out by tomorrow but I'll talk a little about them under the read more...
(REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE SUPER APPRECIATED!!!!!)
My favorite part about them is 100% the textures. I found a new set of brushes for texture paint and it is. life changing. It's on both models but I used it primarily on Vint to create the weathering on his hat and coat!
I'm also still figuring out how to add eyes and mouths into their head geometry and while I still can't really deform it I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
(it also means i can skip texturing separate eyes and mouths lol)
As for their designs!!! As you may (or may not) know I decided to give Bonnie a redesign with this model and I'm a lot happier with how she looks! Particularly with the hair... it was supposed to be a beehive but I like it regardless.
I didn't change much about Vint but I did figure out the color of his pants and (sadly) got rid of the plaid on his hat. I didn't want to draw it.
I plan to make one more big scene with them and then I'll do a model for valentine's day...... so stay tuned for those!!
And lastly... obligatory silly animations.
(I was trying to get Vint to wave but it does not look like that and I hate it. So of course I'm including it!)
