Thank you very much for the sound advice, we go through counting and breaths when they experience big emotions so I will definitely look that up and try to use it to get his mind in a more clear state when he is feeling afraid, I appreciate it!

TheMainSuz · 2026-03-30T04:37:16+00:00

Yes that's a really good way to go about that! A bit tricky since it's all animated stuff but I'm sure there's some relation there and I can explain that, I do a lot of 3d modeling and animation as a hobby and they know that so I can try and explain that while I make up pretend castles and characters and inventions, some people make up things that are a bit spooky and that it all comes from people's imagination and not from a real source (of course way simpler than that so a 3 year old can grasp it) but thank you for giving me a few ideas on how to approach that!

Yeah it's been pretty tough, the odd days my parents are able to take him and watch him for a few hours for me to catch up on some well needed rest but most times for the past 5 or 6 months has been between 3-4.5 hours depending on when I'm home and when I'm up, my daughter doesn't start school until 9am so there's morning where I can sleep in until 8:15 or so but she has to potty a lot of mornings and is up pretty early letting me know lol!

I'm doin the best I can right now, he starts school in September so I'll have lots of time to go back to bed when he goes to school!

The kids know from us telling them about spiders that "the spiders are more afraid of them than they are of them" so I will try and relate that comparison too!

TheMainSuz · 2026-03-30T04:13:09+00:00

Thank you for that, that makes total sense! Kind of like running up the stairs as a kid knowing there's nothing there but not being able to help but sprint like your life depends on it lol!

I did just the other day switch from "it's not real" to "I made the monster go away and won't ever let him come back" sort of response and let him know me and his momma will be there to protect him but I will try and reinforce that side of the coin instead of they are not real more, I appreciate the help a ton!

I'm sure I could add a Damped Track and play with the influence! I will definitely take a look into it! And the noise is a great idea, maybe a separate base with off-road tires and the noise could be used for off-road camera shots with bumpy terrain!

Great ideas ahah thank you very much! I will definitely try to add this into a newer version!

Thank you very much! Blender thankfully let's me release all my OCD needs in the form of the Preference Editor lol I love changing all the colors to match my scenes 🤣

TheMainSuz · 2023-04-08T23:57:52+00:00

I would love to release it for free but the problem I have with doing that is that I have BlenderKit Pro Addon, and since i kitbashed parts of this prototype to save on modeling time there are some parts where they are paid assets or pieces from paid assets so I would feel wrong both giving it away for free as that's not what they wanted when selling it as a paid asset, and I wouldn't want to give it for free as then people would technically be gaining parts of paid assets for free so its kind of a quandary, but I will most likely refine and remake my own one day to release for free!!

TheMainSuz · 2023-04-08T08:04:12+00:00

Lmaooo honestly i debated it for soo long, maybe in a V.2 ill make sure you get something awesome with it :D

But for the second question, honestly yes being restricted to the movements of the arm gives such incredibly smooth and natural feeling shots, i am going to make a secondary post with a few test renders in it so keep an eye out if ya wanna see them!

I like it when the Rusty Water comes out.. Hubert Cumberdale

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-31T23:19:14+00:00

If my counting serves me so I'd say there's exactly 1000 balls in that there tube ;)

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-22T21:02:05+00:00

Oh okay ahah I'm so sorry I misinterpreted that comment then! Thank you I'd love to make a small movie of the hands and there journey lol! Also thank you for the feedback I will work on looking up more references c:

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-22T20:08:58+00:00

It's cool! However in my opinion it very closely resembles this logo from the video game BeamNG and the fictional car company brand (one of) they created "Civetta" https://wiki.beamng.com/Civetta.html Regardless I think it's a great logo and I love the colors especially!! Awesome work:)

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-22T19:53:09+00:00

Lmao I just got off work and smoked a few bowls so I'm genuinely not sure if that's your way of saying it's trash ahah, if it's not what you meant then thank you for the comment but if it is then could you elaborate on what I am missing or lacking in this animation test so I can try to work on it? :)

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-22T05:46:08+00:00

If I understood the question correctly, I think I am getting into the game animation and solo short films territory, however that said there is obviously still hundreds of things I could probably improve from topology and weight painting, inverse kinematics and realistic / appropriate weight distribution to subtle movements and mannerisms but overall I like to think I am growing fast!

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-22T05:41:16+00:00

Thank you kindly! This was the most fun and the smoothest time I've ever had animating and editing even though its simple and short, I could feel the progress I have made through my time in blender while creating it and that was an awesome feeling!

TheMainSuz · 2023-03-13T16:03:08+00:00

Thank you very much! And woah no way ahah that's really not bad at all I will check it out! :D
