New patron tiers / changes regarding reworks and work in progress animations.

As much as I would love to make a version of most animations with any available SFM model, it still needs time to do so, mostly even more than I thought because of unexpected animation behavior or render results after altering the models. That is why I have to set a limit to one rework of an existing animation using different models a month, to not end up announcing more videos that I can release in foreseeable time. To put the option to request a rework in a higher patron tier is also to make it more predictable on when what animation will be released. The reworks will still be available for all patrons.

And to not raise false hopes on release dates of the work in progress animations, I decided to put the new work in progress posts in a separate tier for the ones that don't want to miss a thing, even if it's really early state. There you'll find more details like preview pictures, the state of the work in progress animations and you can vote in the monthly poll on what animation I should focus on. I'll make a short preview video of upcoming longer work in progress animation for all patrons when the animation is somehow presentable, like the one with Zelda.

Sometimes I get stuck on an animation where it's not possible to put all the models and animations in I intended to because of software limitations, or I'm just more motivated to do another one instead. This has two reasons. First, while doing new animations sometimes I find a way on how to do other animations better and on how to optimize the resource usage of SFM for animation sessions I got stuck on. Second, I realized that it's more motivating for me and provides better results to work on a new animation and get back to the ones I got stuck before, after getting some new ideas on how to get it done properly or spice it up.
