Animated WIP (Patreon)

EDIT: ATTACHMENT WAS BROKEN, NOW WORKING

Sorry I'm real late to post something since the last vid but I've been still working on stuff believe it or not. Basically I've been trying to get back to learning some stuff and thought to use a new Blender version for it and boy did it have some trials and tribulations.

My tech notes will just be for ranting so I'll just speak lightly on this animation here. First off, I have made some more progress on the Magik animation and that will be this month's focus. The first scene of it is just about finished then I finish off the other part. This quick animation is using Blender 5.0 so I'm gonna keep it simple and just hope there won't be any weird issues come time to render. Really wanted to use the character from the new Resident Evil so I'm doing that for this test.

RANT

So, at first I got some progress done on the "bimbo" magik project and I thought that I might want to do a quick 1-2 day animation to test and learn more about Blender 5.0 which is an upgrade from my current version. I've been getting behind on Blender updates and if I want to use newer models I'd eventually have to upgrade. My goodness is Blender 5.0 annoying said lightly. I'm not gonna go into every detail but man does Blender 5.0 have some quirks and issues.

I had to turn on multiple settings to even get stuff to show quickly in the viewport. I had to deal with addons that give random errors when moved to the newer Blender version. Blender 5.0 is significantly slower with DAZ models and just slower in general for the viewport. I had to troubleshoot all these things and atleast got something I can use for a test animation even if some of the issues still remain. Keep in mind I've upgraded Blender versions before and none of this stuff was an issue. I really like Blender alot and brag on them but I gotta say whatever they are doing with this Blender 5.0 (Or just the newer Blenders in general) needs to be adjusted. Other animators I speak with are always cautious of switching cause of issues like this stuff.

In the end I am using 5.0 for this project and still do got some new stuff to use so it's not all bad but hard to say if I can use 5.0 again if they don't atleast fix this glitch I have where the viewport lags during loops. That is one of the more annoying issues I found no fix for and is a pretty big deal.

Quickly mentioning that I actually have Cloth physics for Sheva's breasts and butt that are supposed to be the main attraction of this animation but I have it off for the WIP until it's adjusted. It was supposed to be easy and simple but Cloth Physics was yet another issue I ran into specific to Blender 5.0. You can probably feel the frustration I have through the way I'm typing this up...
