Progress continues apace! Over the last two days I've rigged and animated the Cheerleader's new art; here's a look at her new idle animation. The goal was to make her model (and animations) more "perky" than the default ones, which I think this has captured pretty well. I've also done new boob bounce animations (which are also played during conversations when a character gains/loses focus) so that her boobs have consistent physics applied.
Now I've got a whole bunch of minor tasks to tidy up. I need to define the standard spread of emotions for her facial elements (neutral, happy, sad, surprised, that sort of thing) and get them exported for Ren'py. I also need to tweak some of the outfit code; I added a "thigh pinch" parameter that adds a little pinch where her socks meet her thighs and now I need to actually flag that to happen in game. All of that shouldn't take too long, so soon I'll be able to turn my attention to other pursuits! Expect a patron poll in the next day or two to help me decide what that should be about!
