Let's get this year started! Plenty of work to be done!
I'm making a practice animation that will have high octane and fast movements - a combat scene across a large environment. And I now have a new process for making such!
First, I make a simple mockup of the set build where only the essentials are built. No real scenery or effects, just places that will be affected by the actors. Later, I will replace these with proper scenery and set building.
Second, I animate over the basic boxes. This first animation is rough and wont have much detail and polish until later - after the rest of the scenery is complete.
I've also completely redone my addon list on Gmod while keeping my essentials for the main cast like Saker and Queen. There's so much I can do here now with the free room and less errors. No joke I had 1.7K addons subbed in my workshop. It was absolute hell lol
In a moment I will actually post a vid of the animation in action so far. Like I said, it's pretty rough since I'm not at the polishing phase yet, but I think I've done pretty aight so far!
