How things are going
Added 2021-03-15 08:24:37 +0000 UTCSo my output for this month has been far slower than what I would have liked. The main cause is technical difficulties, my cpu is on it's last legs and I'm having to deal with constant crashes when I try to do anything at all. Can't even play games, so if you think I'm spending my time fucking around I can't even do that.
It's extremely frustraiting for me right now, but the good news is that new hardware is on it's way and should be ready to install within the next 48hrs.
The other thing causing delay is the voice acting. One of the VA's I work with is very busy at the moment and it is difficult to get ahold of her. Unfortunately I cannot start animation until I have all the audio ready to set out the pacing of the scene. But I did talk to her recently, and I should also have the final chunk of audio ready to go somethime within the next 48hrs.
This leaves me in a position where I can't really do much right now. I'd like to do a quick pic but my brain feels like mush and I have 0 good ideas, so I'm just gonna take a little break for the moment instead. Once everything is in order, I'm gonna get a ton of stuff done. Very exciting week ahead of us.
Also if you have any ideas for what you wanna see for quick pics or animations, please do leave them in the suggestion box!

Makes sense to me, yeah. I was seeing shape keys mentioned while looking into how to animate body morphs, so I'll definitely focus my efforts there. Much appreciated!

2021-03-16 12:47:59 +0000 UTCI may do that in future, I feel with tutorials there are already so many that explain things far better than I could, but a process time lapse vid could be worth making. I will say though, my main tool for body transitions is "shape keys". You can find a bajillion great tutorials on the subject, but I would say I approach animation more like a sculptor if that makes sense.

2021-03-16 12:43:49 +0000 UTCDefinitely take your time, man! As for ideas, I will definitely throw some in the box, but out of curiosity, how open are you to doing process videos, like where you show the fans how you pull off these awesome animations and body transitions? You could even sell them as tutorial videos on Gumroad or something!
