Weekly WIP #17

• That's right; progress on three projects listed in order of how much progress (top = the most).

• Hostile Takeover is currently a lot of fun to work on, thus it being the most progressed this week. I just pulled an all-night session on it, which is why I'm posting this so early. Hell, in just a few days it's become one of my best animations to date. I intend on creating a release trailer for it, something I've not gotten around to before; I've only created posters so far. That's still a ways off though. I had to completely remake the texture edits 3 times on Scarlet; around 14 textures each time. Something somewhere kept throwing off the coloring and seams along the torso were very visible. All is sorted now though.

• Christmas 2022 has another full angle set and more camera corrections. I scrapped the idea of something extra going on in the background. In the end it just didn't jive. I'm going to focus more on it until it's finished.

• Crossing the Line was mostly camera fixes and fighting with the animations on the chains, so not a lot overall with it, but some progress all the same.

• I've always listed a 'main' project, but I'm going to stop doing that. Instead, it will just be a list of current projects being worked on. Being able to shift projects helps me not tire on one or get so frustrated with something like animating a chain that I just wanna scrap the whole thing.

• To clarify, since I've had a few people ask, I don't set timeframes/tables for anything other than holiday themed ones, since they should be finished by the holiday date. I didn't get this year's Halloween ready, so I didn't release one. I've rushed a few projects, feeling I was slacking or just not making enough general progress, and they suffered for it. Other ones, like Marvel Misadventures, just never clicked, so it's on hold. Some minor ideas, like Hostile Takeover, suddenly becomes the thing to work on and explode into much larger things.

• That pretty much sums up this week's SFMing. I've not hunted for music in a while, so that might be something to do soonish. Eventually I'll post another poll too. Maybe a 'which song?' one.
