[Behind the Scenes] Mother knows best

Added 2020-12-09 03:07:52 +0000 UTC

Some behind-the-scenes content of the "Mother knows best" loop.

I wanted to do this animation in 60fps, but I quickly realized that it would take literal days to export only 5 seconds of animation. When trying to figure out how I could change this I realized I would have to postpone the 60fps videos until I got a better computer, so I had to switch back to 24fps. But I already animated at 60fps, and didn't want to have to re-key everything. Luckily I learned that I could make use of the time-remapping feature in blender. This let me keep the keyframes as-is while having the exported footage be what I wanted. Would only recommend this in edge case scenarios like this.

I also learned that the Eevee render engine is actually not too bad. I've read mixed things on it and people say that cycles is the only one worth using, but after getting some advice, I tried out the Eevee engine and the results were very similar for a fraction of the render time. (Unfortunately still not fast enough for 60fps to be viable.)

The attached videos are in 60fps.
