Chikki | Izzy won't say she's in love | MLP Animation Test @ChikkiNoodles | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
I made an izzy model that I'm happy with, and after a while of struggling I chose this song to animate her to. I know it doesn't technically fit her character, but as i ship sunny and izzy I thought it would be an interesting way to see her dealing with her feelings. And I do want to address the hair -- I'm happy with how I made it-- up until I added hair dynamics. I honestly do not know why they're so buggy near the end, but I am assuming blender hair dynamics just do not work when there is very little movement on the character, so I think I'll try to turn it on whenever I animate big movements. As you can probably tell by the render time, Previewing the hair animation was a no-go. I could preview some parts of the hair but turning on the full mane would mean that even fully baked, it would playback at like 5 fps which does not show accurate results. I also think the render time could have taken less, because I actually realized i had ocean on the water turned on meaning that took way longer to calculate than it should have 🤦But that's okay, it was a great learning experience! I had lots of fun adding Izzy into this cute environment I made earlier. Hair dynamics aren't something you can fix easily, but I'll keep working on improving them.
