  1. Divided is most definetely my most successful animation I've ever made. It consists of 4 episodes, the fourth one premiering on April 17th - in 5 days as of writing this post. It's a story about depression based on real life. It's shown in a graphical way, where the protagonist has manifested his depression into a physical being and fights it in his head. The story has also got a lot to do with the events taking place in real life, abandoning friends, and so on and it includes a lot of psychological metaphores. It shows really deeply the effects of depression, how it can "devour" an individual from the inside and what an absolutely crucial role is being played by the pacient's friends and family. Divided itself is a project that has took me 3 years and a month to finish: from the episode 1, where my skill was not nearly on the level it currently is, till the final episode, premiering in a few days, while throughout the story I've prograssed and learned, becoming better and better as it went. Each episode took 3-6 months to being finished, with a 2 months break in between, except episode four (the one premiering). Episode 4 took a year and a half, with the first planning started in December, 2017. It started with the script, upgrading the rigs, building the worlds, later on the storyboard, contacting people and auditioning for voice actors and over the course, up till now, the lovely piece of art was growing. It took more than 4000 hours of work, 10 acts, 7 voice actors (recycling voices for several roles), over 2600 blocks being animated by hand, a lot of nerves and a lot of emotional support from other people (who I'd like to thank). It was made to wrap up the story in a spectacle and a meaningful emotional twist. A lot of credit goes to my YouTube partner, Freedom!, for providing me the access to licenced music, which has made the overall experience better on a whole another level - despite the fact that I still had to compose the soundtrack myself, using all the available material and properly crediting them in the end credits. Preproduction and production Animation was most definetely not everything there was needed to be done, of course: - First I needed a script (which I had written in the school cafeteria on a sheet of paper, ripped out of my notebook, and was later on written in the proper script format) - Afterwards, I required all the skins, rigs, voice actors, worlds, and assets that I would use in my animation - The storyboard, with individual shot lengths - A customly made soundtrack, based off which I would sync my animation (the first version including only the voices, and urgently timed events and adding the rest - such as footsteps, cloth sound effects and music - later in post-production) - Then I've tackled the animating part, which took most of the time, going at a rate of 1 second of animation being made every 2 hours or so; exporting the animation in bits of 20 seconds to prevent lagg and improove organization - going through the animation several times to add lighting, camera effects, fix minorities, animate statists, etc. Postproduction After the animation was exported, my work was FAR from done! I had to: - Open the animation in After Effects and create VFX, correct colors, etc. and render it (extra 10h of work per 20s of animated sequence) - Compress the file with professional software - Throw bits of the animation in my Premiere Pro project, arrange them and add every single possible occuring sound effect, going through several times to further correct colors, make sure the sound levels are plausible - Export individual acts as video files Post-postproduction At the end, I had to: - Merge all the uncompressed Premiere Pro project files into one super large one, to prevent quality loss - Do a double-check on sound, replace some sound effects, make sure the volume is right for individual sound effects (over 500 sound effects) - Manually color correct every single camera shot in the entire animation (over 1000 shots) - Run through the entire library of used sources, such as music, rigs, assets and even induvidual skins appearing in the background of the animation - Alphabetically organise the sources and form them into groups - Make the end credits - Export Divided 4 entirely I am currently at the final stage, where I'm raising awareness of the animation to put the year and a half worth of work into use - also known as advertising It's been a long journey and I'm proud of where the animation, that started as a small project and emerged into an enormous story, has gotten. Thanks again for everyone who has helped me with the work, all the statists, all the people from who I just took some of the rigs without them knowing (they are credited in the end credits though), and to all my viewers who were patient enough and understanding. Now i keep blubbering about some "premiere", but never show anything, so here is the link to the final Divided 4 finished animation - and you're all more than welcome to come join us at the premiere on April 17th, 5PM CET time. Thank you all for standing by my side and Stay Sharp!

  4. Ok so I have a story to tell but I’ma explain something real fast: So incase ya’ll didn’t know I’m an ex furry. Never wore a fursuit though. Left last year. Aight that was a terrible way to explain something but it works. So today I went to one of my co-op schools (Schools for homeschoolers only) and today was “arts and crafts” day today.. but we could also show off costumes, music, etc. etc. So apparently there’s a furry in the school so she decided to show off her 2 fursuits (and a tutorial on how to make one), so I decided to head over to her table to talk about zed fursuits. So we had a 30-45 minute talk about the fandom, music, the suits, blah blah blah so then she asked me if I ever tried a fursuit on. I told her no so she handed me one of her fursuits and offered me to put it on. So I did because I’m not that kind of person to turn down something I might not regret. When I put the suit on it was actually amazing. Didn’t feel like I was hiding anything but it felt like I was showing off something I enjoyed back then. So I may be friends with a furry again (who’s female this time) and I might be reconsidering on joining back onto the fandom if I ever have the gut to do so (which my gut is giving me a big thumbs up). Interesting world we live in. Also we made our own handshake with the fursuits paws soo.. *pretty exciting tbh*

  5. So... should I keep it or scrap it? I model my rigs by building them in a flatworld first, then copying the model layer by layer into Modelbench, sort of like 3D printing. The orange parts are movable. It's a bit different style compared with my first rig, since it has more curves. CC Appreciated.

  6. I've been using spruce trees a lot lately and have been wanting to be able to change the color of them, but that isn't currently possible. I'd love it if I could change the color with the custom biome/foliage colors with a separate color thingy. concept:
