We're back on the comic track with a small update. Caboose sniffs out some less-than-fresh company. It's kinda hot.
I want to thank you guys that stuck with me (and Doc, and Donut) while I worked on my Phoenix project and got that prologue video out. It's something that means a lot to me and makes...

I ran outta time this week, so I had to make a quickie on the artwork - but hey, there's some hella map for y'all.

Prologue? Pilot? Proof-of-Concept? One of those p-words.
...phew.
There was a lot to learn. I changed nearly the entire way I render/edit/produce videos like this (except that I'm still trucking in Blender all the way, baby.) I got two shitty, run-down laptops up and running with Windows 10 ...

Arrrrrrgh, sound design. NOT my forté. Damnit Jim, I'm an animator, not an editor.
Ah well, gotta wear lots of hats to get this proof-of-concept out. I may recruit helpz later for, y'know, the noises and things. I do like the idea of using my personal YouTube channel to hammer out exper...

Hi guys! I want to thank you all for your support and patience while I work on this animation project (and let Doc answer your questions!) The news for chupa fans is that once this video's ready, I'll immediately jump on a comic update for R[e]volution.
So, my past week or so has been heavy on ani...

Some stuff I learned in Blender:
- Want looping/cycling/repeating noise in your animation? Graph editor is your friend! Check the modifier tab and go nuts.
- Not only is strand primitive rendering not ray-traced, but it also won't have a depth (Z) pass that can be used in compositing. Luckily, ...

It's okay, Doc. You don't have to take that from someone who wears coveralls. ...ONLY coveralls.

I told Lady Vossler she could add as many sparkles as she wanted. I regret nothing.

This week, Doc explains how he deals wi' da haters.
I (finally) solved a long-long-long-standing problem with the :< shape key on my chupa models. Ultimately, the solution was so simple as to be insulting (just use a masking material, stupid.)

So, it's been a while since I've posted an update here on my Phoenix project. I've been squeezing in a little work on it every day, and this week I've hit the animating phase for the prologue, which is exciting. The initial test renders kind of surprised me--in a good way, I mean! I'm looking forwar...

Sometimes in a war of red vs blue, it all comes down to semantics.

This week's gif is a powerful sorcerer.
Learned some new effects, and some effects that didn't quite work. But hey, that's still learning.

This week's gif is a cursed swordsman.
I wanted to play with more effects in this one: halo flares, texture warp, vector blur and a handful of compositing tricks. Not perfect, but fun! Lots to learn, as always.
