A Night In Liyue – Prank Gone Wrong WiP #3b

Finally had the chance to play with the Flip Fluids Add-on. Which is basically a paid Add-on that replaces blender’s fluid simulation. And I gotta say… tho there are still some disadvantages compared to the native fluid sim, overall, it is such a HUGE upgrade!… Ofc it is a bit pricey, but for me, it is absolutely worth it!

Having the option to view the simulation in real time as it is being computed, plus the ability to pause and resume seamlessly is a massive step up in terms of quality of life upgrades… I’ve only set aside a day figuring and trying it out tho, so I’m defo just scratching the surface.

Can’t wait to try out it’s viscosity options for the more… creamy fluids :3

I’ve also started to become more and more accustomed with the Animation Layers Add-on and it’s in full display with this one!

As a brief description of what it does. It basically allows me to have multiple layers of animation that I can edit separately, and then the add-on combines all of them into one.

For example, while Hu Tao was busy flicking the bean. I made a second layer of animation of her standing up and getting a closer look at Xiangling’s handiwork… It then combined it into Hu Tao flicking her bean… while standing up!… And ofc, since I didn’t have to alter the original bean flicking loop, I can edit the standing up animation as much as I want!

Ofc blender has a native layered animations as well called NLA, which is what the add-on utilizes to even do it’s thing in the first place… But I never touched it before coz ngl, it’s pretty jank XD

And lastly!.. I started playing ZZZ yesterday and I absolutely love it XD

Each character feels so alive!.. The VA’s and animators really went all out with this game and it shows. It’s also a perfect inspiration for my Combat Animations training!.. Which is going pretty well btw :p

I’ll be trying some Combat VFX tomorrow, but for now, Imma just play around with Koleda and chill for a while :3

And that’s about it!.. Hope you like it you absolute Chad!
