Thoughts on Animation Previews?

Idk, I don't normally watch previews, but it has always seemed to me that the dialogue you have with the community about things to be added, tweaked, tried, ect has been helpful to you. I would hate for you to lose the extra sets of eyes to help you smooth things out.

I like how you stay in touch, but i fear you work too hard. Chill a little

My advice... if you have a doubt.. if it "just doesn't feel right".. then post.

Well said!

I don't understand why some people would complain that you're posting too much as if they think that why don't they just not look at all the posts? And personally I find it annoying when I hear people complain about how long these animations take to make. To those who criticize on that basis have you ever tried to do what Red is doing? She does everything from start to finish herself, making her own models, rigging & texturing them, animating them, then rendering everything and anyone who actually realizes what that entails knows it's both difficult and very time consuming, and like anything there's times where unexpected problems arise. But if you think you could do it better or faster then by all means give it a try and see what happens.

I enjoy the updates, any communication is great. I don't always get to respond and give feedback but I always greatly appreciate when those I'm supporting on this platform continue to communicate what's going on and how things are going. It's a level of professionalism I truly appreciate.

Heya Rera... well, the primary reason things slowed down was so much is because I had to have my computers rendering full time. My plan is, to animate 3-5 days a week and do "requests" 1-2 days a week. I believe this will help me keep a really good animation pace and release the animations MUCH faster. Mainly because of the new render engine. I think AML4.5 could be done next month if I dont run into any major roadblocks.

Red, your production (i mean art + previews) is decreasing in the last month. Scene2.mp4 what does it mean ?? Preview ?? Leonardo DaVinci shown Monalisa's sketches to courtiers ?? It seems that you fill words instead of graphic art. Is this a social or a finest gallery art ? AML4.5 with a mass of comment will born in a year ? Where is WARP speed of your new machines ? Where is the sequel of BeachDay? Why do you find a mother lode and you give up for ... words ? Excuse me for trash talk anche thank for your patience.

*nods* Aye, keep doing what you are doing...as long as YOU enjoy posting all of em. If people don't like all the previews...they are able to not view them. Lol, easy enough. :)

Keep doing what you’re doing. The people that don’t want the preview have this magical option called not watching some or all of the previews.

Yes, maybe every 3 or r scenes. That way it also frees up more time for you.

As a suggestion, perhaps you could make a single post which you later on will edit to add links to new previews. Anyone interested in previous can just keep track of that post.

Keep doing what your doing love the updates

Hmm, it's an interesting conundrum alright, I can imagine that some people might want to see less to preserve some of the mystery of the final animation, see these scenes for the first time in their finished format. As for myself, I love seeing all of the previews and get excited every time you post a new one, so I'm totally happy with the current rate of posting. So I voted to keep the current rate of posting, however as a compromise, Cwolf's suggestion sounds like a good one 😸

I'm happy to give feedback on specific things, a la the bedroom etc, but I generally wait for the final animation. Also, quick feedback is difficult as I flat-out can't open the notification emails when I'm at work. :P

Maybe every second scene as a happy middle ground?
