Hey friends!
I had an idea to switch to skeletal animation. Quality-wise, it will look just as good as the frame-by-frame you're used to, but there are a lot of huge advantages:
Time-saving: I won't have to spend a ton of time manually coloring and shading every single frame.
Customization: It gives us the ability to easily swap out textures, hairstyles, outfits, faces, etc. (I'll be setting up a separate tier for those who want to order specific custom changes).
Smoother motion: The ability to make much more fluid animations.
I haven't done skeletal animation in a long time, but my skills have grown a lot since then, and I think it will turn out really well. You might even end up liking it more than the frame-by-frame ones! Honestly, I think the best approach moving forward will be to combine both animation methods.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
P.S. By the way, how do you like Marin as Ada?
