Symmetra by the Sea (Remaster)

It was a bit difficult to remaster this animation, as there wasn't a whole lot to change on the actual animation itself. After all, NoduSFM is a talented artist! All I could do was add in a little self pleasure and increase the length. Outside of the animation work itself I added on to the scene build to give it more of a real life, actual location feel. I decided to take the Overwatch scene and place it next to a city with some machinery you'd find by the ocean or sea. I contemplated adding a WHOLE city scene and animating the background, but ran short of time and moved on to the next animation. Of course, I changed the lighting to be much better for VR, adding more depth in the process. This is a must on most animations, remasters or not. An animation made for 2d viewing is not going to look perfect in VR. I wish I had understood that years ago. More unique sound was created to fit the new feel. Overall a step in the right direction, while showing off the advances we've made while using SFM.

I am sure that some of you noticed I updated the goals for Dark Dreams. I am pretty much working full time from home with the new schedule, with a little bit of part time work here and there. With that said, the new goal is to get a secondary PC or laptop for Blender only renders. In the meantime, this means that I'll be teaching myself Blender so that when the day comes, I'll be ready.

We're still a very small studio, so every little bit matters. I feel that the amount of quality content we put out is great, but I want to continue raising our standards, be that in animation length, graphics, sound, or even the platform it's made on. So please, share our posts and spread the word! Thanks for the continued support, and enjoy the video.
