(A17-3) Pre-release render

Added 2025-05-17 16:39:36 +0000 UTC

And here we are, animation is almost done. It needs a bit of refinement, and I'll release it. But before that, I need to take a good nap. While I sleep, I would like to hear your thoughts on this animation and what needs to be fixed or added.

It's a 30s long animation with 2 connected loops. I tried to make transitions between loops as smooth as possible, and would like to hear your thoughts as well. I also tried to solve issues with clipping models that appeared after I switched render engine. Unreal doesn't forgive your small mistakes, unlike Blender where you can do whatever you want and it will look good.

It's the second part of the "1 Gold Portal" series. I plan to make a third one, but it won't be soon, as I have more important animations to do and I don't want to add another project to my already big queue. Should note that, as I said before, after the A17 release, there will be a 1-2 week-long silence on Patreon. I might upload something in the meantime, but don't count on it.

I'm thinking about what to do with lighting. The lighting setup you see here is a "temporary" setup. Should I rework it or leave it as is?

That's all. Hope you like it!

EDIT 18/05/24: Added a dropbox link to the animation so you can watch it in your browser without downloading the file.
