If 19 year old me knew that I would be using Blender to make music videos with VTubers-- He'd think I'm stupid. He'd also probably try to mansplain why I will be a failure because I need to commit my energy to "improvement" and "self actualization."

I'm a lil bit in disbelief. I went from being a simple IT guy to now working alongside engineers building server infrastructure. It kinda just happened. Like how did I even end up here? All whilst I just sit around going boop doop on my music and playing Rimworld.

Testing out textures, lighting, and camera FOV. (: I really like playing with Blender's Shader Editor. I think it would be cool if all of my textures are generated from this for modularity and also reusability.

A rough sketch in Blender for framing a shot in an upcoming music video. (: The focus on this is to make sure the framing is super solid. Still need to workout some details (and textures) and the HDRI is just placeholder. I don't wanna show you everything just yet...

I can't believe I am about to have someone assist me in production. It's thanks to all the commissions y'all provided me last year that I could invest in bigger projects. I'm truly thankful.

I've got a concrete goal for some projects set up. I'm going to aim to release two MVs by August. I think that's doable. I need to be realistic, however. It's a *lot* of work. So I need to commit to this. I will still consider releasing ONE release as a success. But I want to really push for two.

After going back to the drawing board SO MANY TIMES, we've finally achieved some nice looking hair. The colors are to help visualize how each strand is formed and shaped. This is so that each viewing angle can look as good as it possibly can!

If you're paying a monthly subscription for a plugin-- It's a scam. I genuinely do not believe that a plugin toting a new "magic button" to make all your mixing needs go away exists. They're all just reskins of existing tools.
