Click on the image for a youtube style flash video. Members only!

One of the problems I have is rendering long files is a bottleneck, so I’ve partnered up with an assistant who will be doing dedicated rendering for me with his machine. We’re still figuring out the details but it should let me produce content faster once we have it all nailed down.

Well, let me see, as usual I am full of good intentions, so here they are more or less:

Regular posting: Not daily, I’m not going back to that, but a lot more often and regular than it was last year. Definitely

Comics: I’ma gonna do comics, truth be told I like them more than animation. They will have animated components, probably for the naughty bits. Which will probably be for the members only, but some might slip out.

Non linear animation! I finally figured it out, seems I was doing it wrong, but I’ve finally cracked it. What does it mean? Well I should be able to reuse animation in much more versatile ways and this should increase my productivity.

Flash video! Youtube style, kind of. I’ve been running test and I still haven’t nailed the quality settings I like, but there’s a lot to be said for something that will just play in a browser with zero problems.

Oh yeah, here’s more Sakura

As has been pointed out, there’s no background, the dude is just the basic model (I was thinking of making him sagat, but then he’d have to be twice as big and that would mess up the animation) and the lighting is all fucked up. No problem I can fix all that later, and I will! I’m not going to be posting big heavy 25 megabyte videos with small changes so that people have to keep downloading the same damn 25 meg video just to see a few extra seconds tacked on to the end, or a few fixes in the middle. I’ll do that when the thing is well and truly finished.

I’ll try to make the short ones a little less crappy though, happy medium and all that! 🙂

Will link to a longer member version tomorrow… done, 5 meg mpg4 for members
