WIP: Next video and light updates
Added 2024-07-19 11:25:04 +0000 UTC
Hello!
I was supposed to post this in thursday like I always do, but this has been a very weird week for me. My bad. Heh. :'D
I am feeling a bit better, thank you very much for the kind messages. I also feel a little more like playing FFXIV again after trying out the normal raids! The story is...there, but the fights are really fun! I'll be trying out healing in my static this time to switch things up a little. I still have a lot of thoughts on the DT MSQ, but having other things to focus on will help me organize them better and get over the sad/angry stage. :P
To be completely honest...I have a very clear video idea in my head that I could make to express my thoughts on it in animation format. I might make it in the future...or not. I will let it simmer in my head and make other ideas while I think about it.

I hope you enjoyed the short video I posted this week here! It got me back to animating, and I decided I will keep making other animations with the older models until Mektools comes out, not forcing myself to update things right away. The technical part of how rigs and shaders work is definitely not the part I'm best at. So I will try thinking one video at a time until the tools are here and see how things go!
I did see in their discord that they are already testing out the new tool and there will also be new helpful settings for shaders and stuff!! I'm very excited for it.
So I just got a new idea that I'm able to do with only the two of them again! I think this one will be a little similar to the Linkpearl video idea, as in, I will animate my own version of an unvoiced cutscene. :P

This is the scene (game screenshot from youtube!) . G'raha in all of 5.4 made me so happy!!! He was so happy and excited to be there, being both his younger self, and showing all of his Exarch knowledge!! Aaa how I miss him...
So far I'm in the very early stages and planning the layout. This scene is also not replayable at the inn, but at least I can NG+ it, so I still have to go back and record this part again. I will enjoy having my personal interpretation of it available to be rewatched, and also one more thing to fit my personal headcanon.

As always, the background will be added later from screenshots.
Meanwhile, I will also be editing the footage of me working on the Lost Hope video, because I want to make a video talking a little about it. It will be the next Behind the Scenes I post here!
Other than that, things are going as usual. Oh, I just updated the post from the last video with the textools tutorial about the dye channels, so please check it out if you're following that one!
Thank you very much for your support!

2024-07-19 14:27:40 +0000 UTCNo problem! I used anamnesis to do that! It's a tool for posing, among other things. When you're inside the cutscene, it will show the list of the characters in it. Select the character you want to hide and look for an "alpha" slider! You can make characters transparent or just vanish completely. You will also have to turn off visibility for the weapons as well!
