Also how did you get the EEVEE dynamic shadows to not show streaks and stray shadow pixels? Usually they appear on pointy edges but are not limited to that. (Got some ideas while writing this, gotta try them later)

Oh yeah Blender has my full devotion, if it were a beautiful person i would marry it. And true, having to get around to have full fps is annoying but that is a modern problem i imagine, back in the day they only got the simplified mesh and hoped the render looked good.

Not gonna lie, i feel like they are trying to ride the 4.0 hype by making every new Y.X update sound groundbreaking. (not necessarily BFundation but on youtube it seems like it)
A new render pipeline is great and a big undertaking but maybe not life-changing, also it could get better in the future..

So freaking true, so few AMAB characters. It is always the AFAB that get representation >:(
