Fun fact about Dakota in today's short
Added 2024-07-18 18:23:23 +0000 UTCI was animating this short, and I ran into a problem where — no joke — Dakota didn't look tall enough.
Now, I know that's a whole meme, with people saying she looks short when she's actually crazy tall... but honestly, I was running into an issue where the couch MMS was sitting on was so big that it makes Dakota look small by comparison, but only when she's standing in front of it.
So I fixed it — in a weirdly fitting way.
Basically, as Dakota hops from one side to the other, she very slightly (and, hopefully, imperceptibly) actually, literally gets taller.
This is her at the start of the short (the "Legg Scale" determines how big a character is overall, I usually just use it for squash and stretch):
This is her after she jumps across:
She's 7.51% bigger at the end than she is at the beginning.
So, yeah. This is a minor thing, but I thought it was funny.
