Full Nelson Animation and other new stuff

Ok guys just before Christmas, a new animation is here.

This last month it's been one hell of an experience, I have some new toys to play with and things are looking up, let me get you up to speed

1.- There are new links for the download folders, I will be sending them to you shortly

2.- I am now using Blender 4.3.2 for my animation and modeling work, and thus some of the models I offer in Blender format have been updated as well as animation files for Blender, everything is tagged as Blender 4.3 in the download folders and all new files will be made with the latest Blender version.

3.- New Vegas version for video editing, so I had to poke around and see if everything still works as it used to, and it now does.

4.- Due to the new Blender and plugins I use, I had to rebuild the EPMX model's UI to a new version, all EPMX models now have a new UI, the models still need the free "Bone Manager" addon that can be found in Gumroad, I've been playing with the idea of using Blender to render stuff and so far, wow, even though I still have no idea what I'm doing, the result are very pleasant, Cycles is very good but with my hardware is not very viable, one single 4k frame takes 7 seconds to render, Eevee on the other hand is pretty much instant but colors are not as good, I need to learn how to properly render in Blender but both are far better than MMD regardless, if I manage to get more patrons and luck smiles upon me I may be able to afford a better graphics card, we'll see how those new 50 series fair in pricing who knows.

5.- The tutorial that I made and uploaded to Youtube last month for my Blender rig still applies without much change except it now uses bone collections instead of bone layers, the good thing is now that bone layers are no more, we can have many more categories for the rig's UI with the new bone collections, so expanding the rig even more is now viable, if you haven't seen it then I hope you have some free time because it is almost two hours long.

6.- And of course there is a new animation in the folders, a "Full Nelson" position animation, this is not a loop, and neither is as long as the previous animation, most of the following animations will be as long as this one with the occasional long animation here and there. And I already have the next animation in mind and ready to start working on it, it will be rather simple but it should be nice as well. I will make a showcase video for this animation like the one I made for the "Bottoms Up" animation, I'll notify you when it's done.

7.- I also enrolled in two new courses, or rather updates to courses I already took for rigging and animation by Pierrick Picaut, hopefully I can get some new trick to get better at this Blender thing

With all that done, go and grab the new animation and let me know what you think, and enjoy the holidays, now back to animating and other stuff for me.
