Minia Monthly - June 2023 🌊 (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, welcome back to another monthly update! Let’s get started.
General 📋
I will be gone on my big yearly vacation from July 5th until July 22nd. There will not be any content during this time.
I have retired patron credits in videos. There are so many of you now which I am grateful for but it’s extremely difficult to maintain and it appears to be not a major importance to many of you. (according to feedback form)
I noticed that many of you care about being able to vote on videos so I am working on doing more votes for VFX videos which are much easier to finish, currently animations are a major time sink and I cannot promise delivery.
Part of this system may be that I allow users to submit their VFX video ideas and then I randomize one of them to get done. It’s effectively a randomized commission wheel! It also treats all kinks equally.
I hope you all enjoyed my recent free video too- Till Death Do Us Part with AzerasFeet! The footage was generously given to me by MicroMerchant. Click here if you haven't seen it!
Upcoming Videos 📷
Journey into Jaws (@VioletEspea) After travelling for weeks in a woman’s house in hopes of getting out a Minian gets caught by her and is viewed as nothing more than a snack to be eaten without a care for his painful journey to get here.
Curiosity Kills (@Francesca Belli) A tiny couple discover a content creator’s tiny figurines on the floor as they inspect them. They are confused- until they discover the camera pointing toward them and the figurines…
Slide & Squash (@CupcakeCrush) The boy, taped hard ground below a playground slide attempts to break free as his vengeful ex-girlfriend prepares to slide down toward him with glee.
The Race: Part II (@SalomeToes) The runner has successfully cheated his way to victory causing his opponent to get crushed to death by Salome. Unfortunately that was only the semi-final, his next opponent will be Salome herself.
Behind the Scenes 🖥️
I am preparing some new improvements to the quality of videos with the help of some fellow creators.
I will be testing out some new camera work from within Blender using some awesome plugins, this should help with cinematics.
In addition I will be improving macro-details for close up shots of tinies by using procedural materials, this will help avoid pixelation of materials when they are scaled!
These are some of the few things I have been able to invest in thanks to your continued support! ❤️
