Weekly post #20: HSR animation progress, next ZZZ animation WIP and poll results

Yo my dear supporter,

The animation was supposed to be released today, and it is finished, but it's getting delayed a bit because I decided to hire a VA for the voiceover and SFX edit, and she needs some time to complete her part.
To avoid wasting time while the voiceover is being prepared, I've already rendered the animation and its VR version (the VR render alone took two days). The only downside is that I probably won't have enough time to adjust the lipsync to the voiceover once it's ready but you will get animation quicker.

By the way, I took your feedback about VR into account - the next animation will be in 8K resolution and with a true depth effect. The previous VR animation didn't have that, and I didn't notice such an important detail right away.

Now, about the poll. You can see the results yourself - I'll start working on winner animation in December.
As for the other options, I think I'll move some of them to the next poll, remove the outdated ones, and add new choices.

I've also already started working on the next animation, it will feature the new ZZZ character (Ye Shunguang) you can see in the WIP preview of this post.

That's all for now.

Thank you for your support, and see you soon! ❤️
