Sylvanas' Visit To Duskwood (Exclusive) and Dark Dreams' Status

This animation is important to me for a couple reasons, but the main reason is I consider this the last of our animations/conversions where I wasn't quite sure about proper lighting as well as color grading. I've never had any issues with making camera angles work in animations that weren't innately POV. I've even become better at animating because of trouble shooting how to best do it. But redoing lighting in these situations HAS been troublesome. Up until now. Over the past few weeks I have spent days relentlessly teaching myself about lighting and color theory. And because of this, over the next couple of weeks you're going to see my animations transform in, what I feel, is a a pretty drastic manner. Some of you may have already noticed some improvement in a couple of the recent animations, but now I feel very sure of myself in regards to color and light. This isn't me being cocky or egotistical. Most of the time I am too hard on myself. I know it and I can't help it AND I still have a very long way to go. But I am quite happy with the results that will be coming out these next two weeks. Some notable achievements beside this include:

Our first animation that's 2+ minutes long that ISN'T a studio release or compilation. This is a collaboration between myself and KDE. It took a week of rendering to pull it all together in the end. You can look forward to that releasing on Christmas Eve.

I've figured out a way to allow for camera angles to change without motion sickness. When I do it correctly, you won't even notice that the angle has changed or that the camera has moved at all.

I've also figured out an interesting technique during color grading that allows me to update older textures within the animation and refine them. It's not going to work miracles, but it will definitely help get in getting rid of muddy and dated textures.

Stitching will become much less existent in animations that I convert into VR. It will still be there, but you'll have to look for it. (shouldn't you be masturbating instead of looking for it?)

That's enough of me tooting my own horn for now. There are other small advances I could mention but I think we'll just get on to...

Sylvanas loves visiting Duskwood. She always knows the best spot to get away and be alone... or meet up for a good time. Thanks to Dark Dreams' Kaeg and Laarel for their usual amazing work! I could not do this without their expertise and patience.

P.S. The studio release will finally, finally, FINALLY be coming out soon! We are aiming for the 30th.
