very cool!

will there be further upgrades, like more positions?

also, this has gotten me to notice how some hair is loose and some is glued to the head (on the model I used). normally you don't see that, as "gravity" pulls everything down. On a real person under water, the hair will "stand" starting from the roots.

Thanks.
No, no more plans for updates. Maybe one day there will be another scene following Jerry's adventures. This obviously wasn't the first time he's done something like this. But, nothing in the works right now.
I've done a few other scenes with zero G and found that hair effect (only tips float) is pretty common. Guess it's just how VaM hair works.

Incredibly creative! Love seeing something made in VAM that takes advantage of it not being limited to realistic scenarios. Some parts make you forget it's underwater, but you did a great job with the atmosphere. The ending actually spooked me, and then made me laugh out loud; not sure if you were going for something serious there but it could've been a more satisfying climax.

Good point about forgetting that you're underwater. The original (v1) lighting was more blue to give that feel but I tried something different in v2. I just did a quick search for bubbles to maybe add some atmosphere and noticed Farger's latest particle pack includes bubbles and fish. I'll see about adding those to emphasize the underwaterness. Thanks for the feedback.
And no, the ending wasn't supposed to be serious. "Damn it Jerry!" still makes me laugh.

This is a whale of a lot of fun. The motions are so ... fluid. It tells quite a tail.

All fish stories aside, this is a master stroke. The appearance customization menu is great. I don't need to save a tweaked version for each appearance preset. It's worth watching all the way through.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
For me, half the fun of watching scenes is swapping out the characters, so anything to make that easier is big. Usually scenes fall apart the minute you adjust scale so I tried to get that to work as well as possible because, you know, fish come in all shapes and sizes.
And as far as watching all the way through, I hope most watch the full story at least once as it is quite the inspirational tale.

Great work. Just got around to watching this scene and it has very good animations and storytelling. Unexpected, but clever ending. Well done!

Thanks. That's what I was going for: corny but not enough to ruin it.

Great animations, but when it gets to the actual bj part, the animations just stop, for some reason. When I open the TL menu, I can manually play them, though

Hmmm. Strange. No idea what that could be. At least you have a workaround. Glad you otherwise enjoyed it.

This is one of the better examples I've seen of animating something with timeline, good job!

Scene is amazing, but PLEASE can you add Skip stages? It's waaaay to slow

Good idea. 1st time through I hope people watch the whole thing through, but after that a fast forward would be nice. Todo...
