Day 1

I stopped working today. Officially it& #39;ll be about 3 weeks, while they try to get remote working online.

Sooooooo, today I started a big project that I& #39;ve been slowly building on for awhile now.

Putting my whole YouTube production into #Blender3d!

Let& #39;s start! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
Day 2
Mistakes day.

So this is a big challenge. It& #39;s a new software, different layout, work methods, names, hotkeys, etc...

I have to learn #Blender3d, transfer my production there, and test out a new animating plan.

A bit more work before I order ramen for dinner later. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
Day 3

Mostly study day. I have to get to a bunch of #Blender3d tutorials.

I purposely skipped a bunch of these months ago. I figured the best way to learn the material is to just jump on it and learn on the go.

Still have a lot to get used to.

Pardon my crap handwriting.
Day 4

Ok! So the rig is doing alright! I cleaned up my mistakes with the fbx export last time too.

I just need to do a tedious weightpaint touch-ups.

Ohh, also I started working out today. I completely neglected it for several days now.

Saitama work out let& #39;s goooo!
Day 6
I missed this yesterday, sorry. It was mainly a relax day, we watched Blazing Saddles loll.

Day 7
More #blender testing. I have 4 plugins now to mess around with, so I have to make sure they become good friends and team up and stuffs.
Day 8

Taking today as a weekend. I just played Settlers of Catan with friends instead. Nice rainy day indoors https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes">
Day 9

More tweaking and polishing the rig. We also got a nice voxel auto-skinning add-on to make this faster. But I just need to figure it out first so I can make this more streamlined later on for future extra characters and collabs.

The finish line can be seen now. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ‘Š" title="Fisted hand" aria-label="Emoji: Fisted hand">
Day 10.
Ohh boooiiiiiiiii...

Fingers.......

Ughh, this is a long day.
Day 11.
What I like about my style of 3d art is that I can get around having mediocre skinning and topology and just prioritize on having to make it look good on screen.

#Blender makes that easier so far. I& #39;ve been enjoying this program so far.

Let& #39;s test animation next. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
Day 12
We& #39;ve been playing a lot of board games lately. This time it& #39;s #ArkhamHorror.

Ooooff, this game is super anxiety inducing. Super fun though.
Day 13
Aaand after 13 days, it& #39;s moving! There& #39;s still a bunch of problems, but hey this test is a success!
Day 14
This has been the longest time that I have spent waaaay too many times walking around by myself. I like my alone walks, it gives me tons of time to think, plan things in my head, and some times, get incredibly quiet inside.

There& #39;s beauty in this silence.
Day 15
Ohh, euhh, I think there& #39;s something wrong about this... hmm...

#blender #3Danimation
Day 16
The government gave me their first emergency benefits fund thingy today.

It& #39;s a good day to not be relying on my savings.

Also, my studio will be starting the remote work soon, so this thread might stop then. I might& #39;ve done a month& #39;s work in a few days, awesome!
