Worked a bit on my Ingrid model, I think it's now one of the best 3D version around 🔥

As for the next video, I want to try some new stuff. Some special fx and tentacle action. Since I have no idea how both of them work, the plan is for a shorter video. Most likely a single scene. 1st to avoid production hell (the tentacle rig in particular) and 2nd to see if people are interested as well. Let me know what you think in the meanwhile. ❤️

When I started animating a few months ago, I had zero knowledge on the matter. I downloaded StudioNeo just a few days before, for fun, to make an Asagi 3d fan art and.... I went straight into the rabbit hole 😅I was literally pressing random buttons to see what they did. Then little by little things started clicking.

The most important thing I learned, is that good animation has no shortcuts. You get better, but you also want to do better and, besides some little streamlining, time is the biggest weapon to have. Many times when starting a new scene, I thought that I wouldn't be able to do it, staring at the blank screen for minutes. It's like making a huge puzzle, when you see all the scattered pieces, you don't know where to start, but the more pieces you fit the easier it becomes. It's weird.

Now, a lot of people are using AI for creative stuff too. Regardless of the outcome, I find that boring and unimpressive. I get excited seeing exceptional people doing exceptional things, being animation, music or anything else really. That wow moment is irreplaceable for me, and if I'm gonna die on this hill so be it (thanks Studio Ghibli for this mindset ❤️).

Anyway, more to come...
