To celebrate a relaxing yet productive day I celebrated with another Livestream.
Freedom Planet Livestream Best Bits!
Here is my compilation of last year’s Freedom Planet Livestream. :melon:
Sunday Open Thread
It seemed I had an accidental nap and woke up on the first day of my week off from work. My brain is currently being flooded with what to do first… probably put a video up later. :v:
No stream tonight… Have some food and SFM porn instead
Today was a rainy day. A perfect time to do some laundry, a little animation, and make soup and sandwich to keep heat in them thar bones. I made my first attempt of Manhattan style Clam Chowder with a grilled cheese with buffalo chicken, pepper jack and a couple steakhouse tomatoes inside of sourdough wheat bread. I was missing the fresh parsley, but managed to make due by using a little bit of dried parsley with a shredded carrot at an attempt at something similar. I regret nothing. :meseeks:
I also managed to edit a few scenes today and clean my bedding at the same time, that I may lay my clean head of hair on a clean pillow for what may or may not be clean dreams. I just need to make it through one more day, and I’ll be free for a little over a week. I’ll have time to be productive on things I enjoy, and I’ll have to promise to do something nice for myself if the weather permits… like maybe take myself out for a latte or sushi or something, and perhaps a small shopping adventure either local or over teh interwebz. :zorak:
I anticipate there will be more streaming as well. :melon:
Two outta three ain’t bad
I was going to do another stream tonight, but feeling pretty tired… I might do one tomorrow if I have time. Tonight I played a little Crash Bandicoot (to warm up for a stream) and did some more video prep in SFM. My original plan to have my NIGHTS Into Dreams video as a two parter won’t be happening after all. It will be a slightly larger video from what I can tell, and unlike Freedom Planet I appear to have a lot of animating ahead of me… or so it seems. I’ve surprised myself before when working with audio/video and coming back to it at a later date and re-evaluating if you should use a particular scene in a different method or not.
Sometimes time can make you your own critic.
St Patty’s Day Open Thread
Happy St Patty’s Day! Or if you don’t celebrate it I hope you had a good day! I started mine out waking to the smell of battery acid in the air that I didn’t remember from the night before. My APC unit had a dying battery in it (clearly) and it finally gave up the ghost… We had them out recently and they showed no signs of bulging, that was at least until this morning… I knew there was a good reason why my throat felt like it was corroding.
I had originally wanted to do a livestream tonight, but felt too sick too. Instead I enjoyed music on my new sound card, did a little SFM and watched another person’s livestream. I’m thinking I’ll pick back up on it tomorrow after doing a little digital shopping. There are a couple things I’d like to treat myself to, and I haven’t really spent much on myself lately apart from some bargains on Nike’s and Levi’s. I might do a little tidying too. I’m sure I’ll get a better night’s sleep without the sulfuric aroma permeating out of my APC backup…
My kingdom for a skeleton
I spent a good chunk of the evening trying to animate a final scene for my upcoming Freedom Planet video, but ran into a problem with a particular model I downloaded from the Gmod workshop. I found a nice 3D model of Lilac I wanted to use for a scene to end the video, and I extracted it for SFM use. Upon playing with the model I found out after posing it for various keyframes that I couldn’t do it properly. The model doesn’t have a skeleton, but you can move around the limbs. Unfortunately, the next video won’t have as much animation as I had originally anticipated.
The gameplay will have to do most of the talking. I’ll probably release it next Sunday, (not the upcoming one).
