Dear Fucking Diary

I posted a pocket diary on discord and this will just be an extension of it. I've been stuck in animation hell for the last couple of days. I'm still in it, but I am considering a release sans animations. I don't like it, because I was going to add to the number of animations. Facial expressions of the lady, shit that adds dimension to these scenes. Am I frustrated? What makes you think that:-) I added the latest plug-in of FuckOMatic to the repertoire, thinking that 5 months later, it would be a breeze to plug in my characters, tweak a bit and off to the races. This is clearly not what happened (this may just be the result of subpar documentation, I still think it is a useful tool). I just want to make decent animations. They don't have to be perfect, but they should be good. I dabbled in animation when I was a kid. I bought a super8 camera with money I made from picking strawberries at my uncle's strawberry patch. I made both hand-drawn animated films and Claymation. How is it that I can't figure this out to a satisfactory degree? Wow, this is really turning into a rant, isn't it? But it isn't satisfying. I have things to do, and this is just not how I wanted to spend the week. I've made some inroads, so I may just step away from the animations and continue the other work that needs to be done for the release.

Enough of that. On the upside, a friend of the project has supplied me with assets for the Bellarosa dinner in chapter 6. Wibble is an asset creator and has a handful of wonderful assets available in the daz store. You can find them here. I already had a couple of his assets wish listed and will purchase as soon as I see them on sale. Don't think badly of me, I can't buy assets that are not on sale. I have purchased well over 2,000 assets, if I purchased at full price...let's just say, this hobby can't be a hobby anymore.

Anyhow. I'll be out of town on a job this weekend, so case log might get pushed to Monday.

Cheers!
