Pause Patreon on April Reward
I will pause Patreon this month, which means that on 1 May 2020, Patreon will not charge your card/paypal.
It will start charging again on 1 June 2020.
Any Bonus Animation I make during this time will count towards the May Rewards.
Change Location of Public Archive Animation to This Link

Mirror Link [is for people outside Patreon, both have same content, to not overload the bandwidth limit]

also happen with all future rewards, but the old link will still continue to work.
This will prevent the request access bug in the future.
SFM to Blender
Some of the Main Rewards in the future [including the late rewards] will be rendered in Blender.
This will happen until I move out of SFM and fully switch to using Blender. [because there's too many assets to deal with].
Animations might be made in SFM first then rendered in Blender [like in the Vaseraga animation].
Animations that are made entirely in Blender might be shorter than normal.
Note that sometimes,the full resolution might be 1080p instead of 4K so that I can save time rendering [ it will usually have follow up render].
Change of Patreon Reward
Starting from the May Rewards, the reward structure for new patrons will change.
- Reward Tier
Current
Community Request [Tier 0]
-> A Animation [Tier 1]
-> B Animation with Bonus animation [Tier 2]
-> C Animation with Bonus animation [Tier 3]
New
Community Request or Not [Tier 1 [Previous Tier 0]]
-> A Animation [Tier 1.5 [Previous Tier 1] ]
-> A Animation with Bonus animation [Tier 2 [Previous Tire 2]]
-> B Animation with Bonus animation [Tier 3 [Previous Tire 3]]
- All current patron in Tier 1 will get Main reward as Tier 2 [except Bonus Animation] [I will call Tier 1.5]
- All current patron on Tier 0 will get Tier 1 Reward [which is the same]
You don't need to do anything for this. The price will not change unless you change or delete your pledge. The tier will change automatically.
- Gumroad Discount Code Change
Discount Codes are no longer sent with CR/NCR animation.
Instead, it will become an unlimited use code that will be sent after you pledge (code will change every few months).
For current patrons go to My Membership tab to see the code.
Tier 1 gets a 20% Discount Code
Tier 2 gets a 30% Discount Code
Tier 3 gets a 40% Discount Code
Current Patron will get a 10% additional discount.
About All of Late Animation
Currently a lot of animation behind schedule [Check on Trello to see what I'm currently doing].
To speed up the process there will be some animations that will count as 2 animations instead of 1.
Example - Next Monster Hunter Animation will count toward November B&C
These animations will be a lot longer than a normal reward animation [Extended or Extended +].
Details about what animation will count toward will come later. I will hold a poll on it.
I am also changing the order that I make animations, animation will not made in chronological. You still get same amount of animation just not in normal order.
Check on Trello page for more detail
Thank You Very Much.
Hope you stay safe from COVID-19.

From Last Announcement
Q: What happened to 72fps
A: 72fps animation it broke the workflow too many times on “Calculate frames.” So it’s back to 60fps.
Q: What about Charge Upfront?
A: I am not able to do it since there's so many late animations.
