Found this whilst going through some old files, this animation is from around 2019.

I originally made it for an artist who wanted to recreate a recurring childhood dream of his. The animation was rendered with a transparent alpha channel so he could composite with some video footage he took.

I thought it would be fun to put some underwater and wind sound to it and upload here without the video layers under the boy.

I think this was my first time trying to animate xgen hair and ran into some glitches with it, the workflow is much clearer to me now years later. The clothes are simulated using ncloth.
