I'm starting to realise what causes bloat in our Scene Data file sizes, so I am trying in a way to reduce it. We started with creating a dedicated empty models for holding clothes we would be placing within a scene. We did also remove (not all) extra characters used for intros/outros if not needed since they are easy to recreate/animate.

We're always looking to improve files and folder management 'cause these raw files and library of media we use for the videos take so much we're constantly deleting things off.

By the way, we are looking into changing how we distribute our files due to Google Drive limitations and... a problem. We don't have any ETA for this yet.

We figured out that we 'can' actually animate both the eyes and the mouths separately. It took some fiddling to figure out its quirks but we got there. Moving forward for our Scene users you'll notice an extra line of interpolable for the eyes.

I've also been advised to use a CharaStudio plugin named 'Shalltys'. It will definitely help but I don't think I should apply this unless it gets added to BetterRepack R11 or above. I don't think I wanna add another requirement to using our Scene Data since I like the idea of the "Scene Data just working" with a fresh installation without needing whole list of other requirements.

Sure, Reshade is my only requirement but that's only if you wanna get the colours inside of CharaStudio similar to my videos since I don't use a video editor for these colours and effects - well except for like those 'glitches' or 'vignette'.

Anyway, enjoy. o/
