Update 29: Blendercon (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

So, just got back from blendercon in the last few days, that was a hell of an event!

It was truly inspiring to be rubbing shoulders with some of the best artists in the industry, I met people who worked on big hollywood movies and everything in between.

I met the guy who quite literally wrote the book on human anatomy, and got him to sign a copy for me.

I found the experience both humbling and inspiring, as I saw people giving talks that were at all levels of skill, most a lot better than I, but equally some that are just beginning their journey.

Overall a hugely inspiring event I'm looking forward to attending again next year.

Unfortunately I brought back some kind of cold/flu type arrangement that I'm suffering through so, it wasn't the triumphantly inspired immediate return to work I was hoping for!

I do, however, continue to chip away at the Aimee X Brig epsiode.

Right now it's a bit semi-incomplete as I haven't animated every element, and there's some shader work on it I need to do, all easy stuff to do just not something I've gotten around to doing just yet given I've been away from the project most of the time whilst waiting for rigging tweaks and being quite literally out of the country, so no previews for you all, I'm still deciding on the shot order, and considering 'shooting' this one in landscape, since it seems to be the far preferable format for people to consume it.

The reason I shot it in portrait originally was because of the orientation, it was the format that allowed me to show everything all at once that was happening, in other words, artistic choice.

But that does restrict it's enjoyment potential if you're the type that likes to put it up on some kind of big screen, PC monitor or TV.

So, I'm rather indifferent to it as an option, I'm interested in what you guys think, I can't guarantee I will abide by the result of this, if I can't make it work I can't make it work, but just to give me an idea of what you all are thinking on this subject.

More news as it comes, as ever, never can predict how long a project will take, but I feel confident I can get this one out this month.
