Everybody be careful out there.

Hey all... It's getting heavy out there.. I know in many parts of the world it's been heavy for some time now. I just want everyone to stay healthy. Wash your hands, don't touch your face, buy rice & beans or whatever you can do if you need to stay home for a few weeks. I know I am telling you nothing you haven't heard already. I just... I don't want anyone getting sick.

How do you tell your girlfriend it might be best if she doesn't visit for a while? (tugging at collar)

Anyway.. I've just finished animating the camera. And now I can animate her eyes as she occasionally locks her eyes to the camera. And then I will animate her face.

A naughty Lightwave 2020 beta tester broke their NDA and shared with me what will be in Lightwave 2020. I'm not going to spill everything but I'll just say it's really light on new features. Kind of sad. But it does have one new feature that will be a big help when rigging new characters. Combined with another new feature from LW2019, you could say the $400 upgrade price is two new features for $200 each. Ouch. And these are not major features.

I think it's still worth getting because Akeytsu is not compatible with my Lightwave (2018), but it is compatible with 2019 (and should be as well for 2020). So I pretty much need it if I want to get Akeytsu some day. Plus moderately faster render times. What a pisser.

He also told me it would be out very soon. Goddamn. They sure are taking their sweet time.

Anyway, stay safe. Stay healthy. I will leave you with a little link that may lighten the mood. Cheers.
