And here the #SumatranRhino animation as it is now. The movements are a lot smoother and better, still a lot of things I want to adjust, but getting there. I added some filters in After Effects, but will remove them again.
#Eevee #b3d 3/4

Still not finished and I will not stop until I am satisfied. But I tried some sound underneath which are actual #Sumatranrhino sounds both for mother and calf. Also very much WIP
I probably change the displacement map also later on: too much detail ;-)
Done in #b3d and #Eevee

Almost done with the mother, I think. Still not satisfied with the right front leg yet, but that I will do after getting the calf right. Which I will start tomorrow #Sumatranrhino #Eevee #b3d

Working on the details, the animation is getting better. Also added a bit of camera movement. I'm showing you the process because most of the time people only see the result. While the stages in between are just as interesting, I think.
#Sumatranrhino #Eevee #b3d

The rough of the first 25 seconds is done. I'm in doubt if I am going to add more action in this scene. I will probably need as much time as I used for making this rough to get the details right. #SumatranRhino #Eevee #b3d

The devil is in the details. First I'm blocking out the big movements, then I am toning them down and add little details like ears flapping and feet bulging under the weight of the rhino. Need to add breathing too, but that's for a later time. #Sumatranrhino #Eevee #b3d

OK, couldn't resist. Saw one annoying quirk that needed to go. #SumatranRhino #Eevee #b3d

Done for the day with this part of the scene. I added some "weight" in the feet, adjusted the weight distribution of the bones a bit and removed the quirkiness as much as possible. #SumatranRhino #Eevee #b3d

2 versions, different render engines. still a lot of work to do, but that is for next weekend. #Sumatranrhino

I think I'm done. Need to sleep over it. #Sumatranrhino

Last one for tonight. #SumatranRhino The changes are more subtle now
