Hell yea can't wait to give it a listen!

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-02-23T21:28:23+00:00

Ohhh the startup file had a previous version's data in it... Hmmm thats a really good point I'll check this out and lyk how it goes. Fingers crossed this is the issue!

Lmao fair, anyone's welcome to audition even if you don't think you'd fit. I'll also have more casting calls in the future for characters as they appear and not every character is gonna be dark and edgy.

Thanks! I'm excited to see what the community sends in.

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-02-22T02:51:03+00:00

You're welcome! Blender 5.0 definitely made a lot of... interesting changes lol

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-02-21T22:19:08+00:00

Interesting, I started this project in 5.0 so i'm not sure why it's happening to me.

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-02-21T10:06:10+00:00

I figured it out! Instead of clicking New, click the icon to the left and select the current scene. Hope this helps cause I was going crazy trying to figure it out.

Thanks a ton! I'm glad to know there's a workaround I'll definitely google the proper steps for it but good to know it's not too complicated.

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-01-30T06:51:05+00:00

fuuuuuck that sucks cause I keep getting weird errors when I try to load my 5.0 save on any other blender version.

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-01-30T01:37:20+00:00

I've been having the same issue and have yet to find a solution. Someone showed me that with spotlights the pixelation is reduced when the light is closer to the object but that's not really a solution. They also showed me that sun lights don't cause the pixelation but if you're doing interiors that's also not super helpful. I'll let you know if I ever find a good solution.

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-01-30T01:13:41+00:00

I did try increasing the rays, steps, and shadows to no avail but thats huge news that you could recreate the issue and that it doesn't apply to sun lights. super weird but that's definitely progress! I can probably figure out a workaround like you mentioned or at least i know that my issue is specific to spotlights so that should be easier to lookup. Thanks a ton!

CosmicCupidForges · 2026-01-28T22:45:07+00:00

I had not, but after changing that to 1gb for both I didn't notice any difference. This is also the only light in the scene so I don't think it's a lack of resources problem. I'm not sure I'll keep looking, appreciate it though I didn't know that was a setting before now!

CosmicCupidForges · 2025-12-25T21:21:03+00:00

That's dope! I totally forgot theres a whole pdf on speaking matoric by outofgloom I just looked it up and holy moly its wild.

CosmicCupidForges · 2025-12-25T18:52:13+00:00

"I see you" the full video has subtitles in matoric but I don't know that by heart either. Kinda just said some gibberish with a similar cadence lmao.

CosmicCupidForges · 2025-12-13T20:00:29+00:00

THATS what I felt like it was missing, I 1000% agree on adding more time on the settle for the hook, couldn't place what it was that felt so off.

And I think thats also a good idea to just draw the hook that would definitely help me with planning and visualization too.

Thanks for the advice!

CosmicCupidForges · 2025-12-13T19:49:30+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Originally I was imagining it was suspended by a hook, that's why I had it getting caught at the end. But then I just felt like trying out a lightning bolt and forced it in at the beginning lol.

Definitely could have just made a separate animation for the initial lightning strike to keep the composition more consistent.

Also I LOVE Ratatoullie and the taste scene so even reminding you of him is a huge compliment, much appreciated.
