I did some re-rendering in Shotcut today to pre-render certain elements into the hologram (text and some other filters) to save time and resources while working in AE. I’ll continue work on it in a day or two…
It’s been a long day, and I’m in need of a little R&R.
Not much to write. Spent the last couple hours playing around in After Effects trying to tweak the proper colour of a hologram. I’m thinking I might re-render the source video for the hologram in to include some refinements just to save some time in AE, either tomorrow or wait until Monday. I could brainstorm what additional elements to add, and what they would look like. But now comes the part of the evening where I lay back in bed, and plot what my private weekend Breakfast/Brunch will include. I’m kind of curious to see if there are any breakfast recipes that would involve fish (apart from Japanese breakfasts of course). I was also thinking of doing a little online shopping over the weekend. I need to restock on some British Nesquik, some tea, and maybe some other random things.
Maybe if I’m feeling good enough I’ll buy myself some Jaffa Cakes. 😛
I had to re-render those scenes from last night due to using an incorrect framerate, so my time in After Effects was a little limited this evening. I did get things prepped in After Effects though, so there is that. As much as I would like to share a picture it’s still a little too barebones for me to want to share it just yet, and I still need to get used to using it again. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to use anything from Adobe… it feels weird.
Stage 2 of the project is done! I’ve rendered my work from yesterday, compiled it in Shotcut, and tomorrow I’ll play with it a bit more in Shotcut and probably After Effects, maybe even Krita if I can squeeze it in. It’ll be something to look forward to tomorrow after a long day of tolerating the intolerant.
I successfully rendered the first part of my animation yesterday, and now I’m working on the other half of the scenes. Yutram was away from his usual computer when I was doing this particular livestream, thus he had to rely on his laptop microphone, which is better than nothing but a bit of an obstacle when thinking about how to animate it, fortunately my imagination is always working on overtime. The audio quality is such that it wouldn’t look right if we were both in the same room, so I’ve opted to have us both in different locations.
I have more animating to pick up on tomorrow. Fortunately Yutram’s Minecraft body is easy to work with (and less creepier than Steve, fuck Steve), at least for now. 😛
It’s funny how breakfast can be many different things. In China they love their rice congees, noodles, dumplings and more. I decided to try making a spicy pork bowl with some leftover spinach, red bell pepper, ground pork and homemade Shanghai Red Pepper Sauce from one of my favourite cookbooks… which I topped with some diced cucumber. I had it with some egg flower soup and a tangy cucumber tomato salad on the side. It’ll make a nice work breakfast, and maybe some after work lunch too. I also washed it down with some Oolong tea I recently ordered, in fact I’ve been experimenting with different types of Oolong, though I’ll probably save that for a different post. Tea can be it’s own topic when it comes to my collection. 😛
Today was a definate decompression day. I made myself a Chinese brunch, washed my bedding, and played Japanese games under Linux for the fun therapeutic fun of it. Some Metal Gear, and Yakuza 0. I finally got the game to not crash! The only problem I really have with it is with saving, it doesn’t always want to. In Yakuza Kiwami this issue exists too, but if you spam the save button it eventually does save. Apart from that I’m at least glad it doesn’t die when I press the Y button anymore.
Still hard at work on my Bayonetta project. It’s looking like I’ll have two videos to produce, at least from what I can tell so far. I spent the evening tweaking my character’s animation, should have most of it done by tomorrow… then I can go off and animate the other half of the scene from another perspective. 😛 I wish I had a picture to share, but it really isn’t going to look like much unless you see it in motion, or with the other half of the scene at play.
More on that later. :v
It’s nice to see people having a good time modding the newly released Resident Evil: Village.
