WIP Spoilers (no new video this month. just yapping)

quick comparison of the official edits I made vs the @sunekosurisuri_ model edits
(please ignore her dislocated thumb, how one hand is hovering over nothing. or how one of them is clipping right through the mans leg!)

Also just her coat on awoken something inside me, so I will leave it there. That most likely won't be in the actual video!


OFFICIAL MODEL
Finished setting up the official model and transferred over a majority of the animation data that I already had

I did think of a clever way to have her sleeves be on, but wasn't sure if it was worth the effort. But from a quick poll, it seems pretty unanimous that the sleeves were needed

NEW ANIMATION SPEED TEST FAILURE
Experimenting with this way of changing speed of loops was neat, but I am deciding that I am not using this. It's way too buggy the way it is, and I'm going to have a stroke if I continue working with it.

for anyone that understands what I am going to type, it kinda behaves as if there's a cyclic dependency issue. But there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it. The entire animation doesn't update correctly, going back and forth between frames gives different results. But... it looks very nice if it did work better...
Sorry for everybody hoping that she would be stroking to the beat of the Balatro BGM

I wrote a new storyboard that I do like much better than what I had originally planned
With the way i work in Blender, I really did not lose any progress, but more of just went on a side quest


MOOM
I did spend alot of my time this month trying to add a little more into video editing than I usually would into the moom video. I really like how the end result came out!


NEW PAID CONTENT?
I found out videos can actually have transparency. I did not know you could do this until recently

I am considering posting versions you can download of my videos with layers separated, but I'm unsure if there's enough interest from people. Let me know if you or someone you know actually wants this!
I do appreciate people who make content like HMV's, and if you would like to use my videos, I have always been for it, as long as you put some effort in it, and give me some form of credit that people will actually see!


GAINS
ran 23 miles since my last wip post
I'm following along with an Anki deck that is based off Tae Kim's guide to Japanese, and I think I've at least encountered all N5 grammar.
