was fun looking at 90s-era anime to see why it looked the way it did and recreating it in the Blender compositor.

Stuff like overall grain and colour bleed, "oversharpening" and a noticeable glow on brighter colours due to how hand-coloured panels are lit when photographed

I wanted to work more heart elements into the design (and hopefully I haven't added too many lol) and I also wanted to do a little more detail than the full-white colouring from the official art, though I'll probably tweak it over time bc I'm still getting used to this sort style

Another turntable render

Taking on a few things I'm not familiar with modelling, including wings. They don't look too bad for a first attempt, but I'm going to soldier on. One issue is that they become rather fluffy and circular when closed, but become much more detailed and 'realistic' when they open up

Have been tryna avoid doing hair because its tricky for a multitude of reasons, but I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get on with it. Ena's hair can be especially hard because theres barely any images of her from non-front-on angles I can use as refs xd

I faced this issue last year and had to make a kinda-scuffed solution back then due to time constraints and priorities that used VFX graph and had the desync issue, so I'm glad I was able to actually make a proper solution this time

particle, the sound wouldn't sync up. It also was likely causing a memory leak somehow. Thankfully, the older particle system made it a hell of a lot easier to execute code upon droplets colliding with surfaces! [2/3]

Still have many props to make and work to do before this hallway looks good, but I do kinda like the sparse look it has at the moment. Perhaps decals are in order!

Tried to make a simple particle with the VFX graph where droplets would fall and splash. That worked, but trying to get them to play a sound upon splashing didn't. No thread would be long enough for me to explain how infuriating that whole day was...
