SHF 3 v.21 - rig upgrades and facial animation testing
🕑 Added 2019-02-01 06:05:20 +0000 UTCUsually I try to get a finished-ish version together for an update, but this time the changes were too large-scale for me to get it all done. So this version has a bunch of stuff disabled as I get it working with the upgraded rig.
I'd recommend reading about the changes first, but here's the link:

This version temporarily disables all ponies except the mane six (and removes wings and horns), and most of the items can't be used vaginally. But there's a good reason for all of it!
The eyes are now fully animated- so the eyelids move up and down smoothly instead of snapping into place. It's pretty bare bones right now, but I'm excited about how far this can go. The rig can smoothly move each eyelid up and down, as well as tilt and bend them to make pretty much any basic expression. Again, it's bare bones (and the eyebrows aren't animated yet), but it's a huge first step toward making the facial animations feel alive!
Also: vectors! I'm vectoring everything. Aside from the hair/tails and accessories, the body art has been replaced with nice smooth vectors instead of my messy sketches. It's also bare-bones, since there's only one body type, but the purpose of this is to make it far easier for me to give characters unique body types and sizes. Hopefully you'll see the massive improvement this makes over the next couple releases as I finish up the other body variants.
Then there's the pussy improvements. This one's pretty WIP too (only the horse dildo works right now). I'm not sure if it's 100% there yet, visually, but I wanted to take another stab at how to show the penetration and stretching. The rig is about twice as complex, which I think is a really good step toward more pleasing-looking naughty bits.
So yeah, we're getting there!
Changelog
- Partially replaced old assets with vectors (WIP- not done with penis, hair/tail, bondage gear, accessories)
- Animated eyelids (WIP- limited set of expressions, no eyelashes, eyebrows not animated)
- Pussy replaced, penetration improved (WIP- only horse dildo)
- Back end improvements to allow more variation:
- More flexibility in how characters are colored. Can now separately color hair, body parts, insides (mouth, pussy, etc).
- More flexibility in how body size is handled. Should address distortion and janky animations for large/small characters.
- A bunch of back-end restructuring of the rigs for further progress
I'm going to keep focusing on SHF for right now in order to finish up the WIP rigs, facial animations, and all the naughty bits. I'm feeling super optimistic about the direction these are going, but I'm also kind of impatient to get more basic content into the game.
Thank you all so much for supporting me through this ridiculous project. <3

You are putting way more work into this than anyone reasonably should. I love it.

Great. Have you thought about adding glass/invis/seethrough toys?
