Progress Report, 14/06 - 24 (Patreon)

Hello everyone and welcome to another brief progress report!

Finally bit the sour apple, as we say up here, and sat down to resolve some model issues that had arisen since the newest Blender update. Karlach and a few others are once again fit for fight, having gotten weird shader issues as Blender keeps messing around with them node functions, and it's been quite the learning experience fixing them up.

Tifa's Scenario is also coming along, her long hair has proven a bigger annoyance than usual given the poses I chose for her, but I'm fairly confident I'll be able to get her Scenario out the door sometime next week. In the meantime, this month's Scenario has been decided by the Alley Crew, where we'll be treated to some Samara action, posing and animation thereof starting this weekend.

Next month's days fall a little weirdly in terms of the days, so I've had to tailor the schedule to make sure we get an animation on the 1:st. Given it'll be another one with 5 Mondays, which my schedule otherwise isn't tailored for, I'm considering what to do given the "extra" time I'll have on my hands. Chances are I'll finally try my hand at animating a larger scene, perhaps with fewer or only one angle in mind, and see how that turns out. Either way, I'd rather not have a lack of animated updates that span almost 3 full weeks before that month's Scenario lands, so I'll see what I can work out.

Either way, I'll try to keep this short as I have to rush off and help my old mother get her cat to the vet. Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. The weather remains blessedly cool up here, so I hope you're having a similarly mild summer, wherever you are.

Take care of yourselves, and each other!
