Thank you so much for watching my completely wacky movie. Your support is much appreciated! ♥
Please feel free to let me know what you think of it. Constructive criticism is always welcome! :)
My goal with this project was to force myself to learn Blender. Six months ago, I decided to make this movie,
originally planning it to be a one-minute short. However, I found so much joy and fun in the topic that I ended up
with way too much material. That’s why you had to endure nine minutes of madness!
I definitely met my goal. I learned how to use Blender, explored many subtopics of the program, and found my way around that beast of software.
And here we are. I know it isn’t Disney-level quality and it isn’t supposed to be, but I’m pretty darn proud of myself.
As a complete beginner in 3D (well, six months ago that is lol), I think I did pretty well. :D
Anyway, enough of that. I hope I entertained you somewhat and that you didn’t lose too many brain cells watching this.
Thank you and have a nice day ♥
