I'm still here. (Patreon)

Hi everyone.  Sorry it's been so long.  I've been very frustrated with the animation (and myself).  I tried to do something very difficult and I was simming the shot over and over again, well over a dozen times, trying to get it working.  The amount of time it took was egregious.  It wasn't solely the fault of the troublesome shot though, I was not working on it as hard as I should have.  I shut down for a while out of frustration.. I wasn't responding to patreon messages.  This was all very uncharacteristic of me.  I'm very sorry.

The difficult sim is now complete.  It is not as good as I wanted it to be, but it functions well enough.  Give me some time to respond to all of your messages.  And I will get back to you soon with a longer report of the project's progress.  It's not ready for rendering yet but it's getting close.
