Either my videos are just no good, or I'm not favored by the algorithm (worse it's both). Whatever the case, I'm just gonna share in all the platforms I'm in. I usually keep it youtube-only for a week but the lack of interaction seriously gets me down.
Here's my latest animation:

I am, once again, in that final stretch of a project thinking I'm 90% done but that last 10% weighs like another 90%.

=w= I actually thought I'd finish the current animation early because I didn't have to build a scene from scratch.

#WIP of my next animation
the style is a bit experimental this time 🤔 I initially thought this style would help me focus entirely on animation, but it has its own unique quirks and issues =w=

I'm almost done with (a preview) of the next video. Current problem is deciding whether I should expand the current objects on the scene to fit camera adjustments (looks much better) or just move around the existing objects and cheat the perspective (more practical) =w=

why did I choose this hobby

I've so far imported eight characters on the boilerplate. Haven't used all of them in animation yet, but it's nice to see them sort of interacting like this even if it's just a still photo

More than a year in blender, I just found out about appending! No need to keep importing objects and setting them up again and again per project. I can just import them from a boilerplate file with their rig and materials ready to go. TwT

I've spent nearly the last month building the scene for my next video. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Capture's the vibe that I'm going for <(=w=)>

I don't want to show it yet but here's how it's set up

Next up is animation!!

I need more ways to cover my horizon. Aside from mountains, bumpy roads, and hills, what are other good ways to not make the horizon look like a straight line while still keeping the scene clean and simple?
June 4, 2025 at 6:02 AM
A new thing I struggle with in animation is portraying distance and scale. I cheat with the perspective in my previous videos since the camera is static, but in more complex scenes my scene breaks down. Had to redo the WIP I posted yesterday after taking a second long look at it. Needs more depth.

WIP for my next video
I hope I never get tired of animation
May 26, 2025 at 6:48 PM
I think my trees improved a bit
the NPR tutorials on YouTube are superb🙏
not only do they show how, but they also explain what each node does. It's so useful and in-depth

<- 2023 2025 ->

2023 is from a canceled Halloween video
2025 is from my current project

Changed my video export settings trying to figure out how to get a much higher quality video than what the preset gives

video went from 160 MB to 13 GB sheeesh
the changes are quite significant though! Image quality is better, and the colors pop out more
May 11, 2025 at 4:41 AM
feels like a weight's been lifted off my shoulder
my next video is done and ready for upload ^^)7

I'll post it sometime next week once the election hype dies down a bit.

I already started the next animated project, too! A shorter one this time. I need a little break before another long project.
May 10, 2025 at 5:47 PM
I can definitively say I'm done with the animation now. my god I wanna cry

Now all that's left is putting the scenes together and adding sound effects.

The short Gura dance animation I'm working on is almost done.
Just cloth and hair animation left.

Since it's an MMD model, I had to tweak my process a bit. I'm more used to working with VRMs. Thank goodness I have a reference for the dance. It's at least much easier than what I usually animate.

No animated project in blender is complete without the damn thing crashing at least once
*big sigh* _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_

Winding down on Holy Week activities. I'm now working on the ending screen animation. It's just Aka trying to do something. Somehow, it just made sense to add a lil' butt wiggle. 🙏
April 18, 2025 at 3:07 PM
dear god
I had to split rendering into two sessions and still had to re-render some frames after seeing some hitches.

So, technically the raw animation is done. I can't believe I finally finished it 🥲
I just have to animate an epilogue then add sfx
and i'm done!! ٩(× ×)۶

hair animation adds so much energy to a character's movement
why's Viridi so cute 🥹

April 13, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Good news ^^)7
I'm pretty much done with the main animation. All I have left to do is animate the hair and expressions and move some objects around to change the scene background. Also want to an end scene with a looping animation.

Length so far is 1:13.
April 10, 2025 at 3:32 PM
I stopped posting daily updates because I'm at the "punchline" of the video. Want to keep it a surprise eheh ^^)7

I do get sidetracked every now and then posing my characters outside the flow of the animation. ^^)7 I really like seeing them come alive like this.
