Project Updates - Untitled, ABX003 and what's next for the future

Hey guys, got some more updates for ya - as well as more reasons for you to get mad at me cus I haven't been working on Untitled at all lol

ABX003 - Coming soon

With the completion of ABX002, Narse and I are going to plan out some sort of storyboard for Project 003 in the coming days.

As of now I don't want to say too much, but basically think of this project becoming something like Untitled 2; It will have the same characters, but a whole different story and setting - with a whole new production pipeline that I feel most comfortable working with. It will not be a long as Untitled 1, but I hope it will get a runtime of something no longer than 2 minutes roughly. Lewd stuff included. That's all I will say, and keep in mind that nothing is set in stone regarding this project. However I want it to happen more than anything right now.

So what's wrong with Untitled 1?

*tl;dr vent warning*

I feel that Untitled 2 will be a great opportunity for me considering that I can start work on my first larger project where I genuinely feel like I actually know what I'm doing.

When I started Untitled 1, I honestly didn't have much of a plan; I just made the story as I went. And currently that's why I believe I feel a lot of hatred toward my own project; I should've had a proper storyboard to touch and revise on before going arms-deep into animating for hours on end  just to get a result that I absolutely hate. And right now Untitled 1 is becoming a mental ball-and-chain where its getting more and more difficult to work on it during my free time.

Will I continue to work on Untitled 1? I want to, but I want to come back to it where I feel that I'm man enough to touch that cesspool of a scene file again.

Will Untitled 2 be better? In terms of quality? Most likely. This new project will definitely challenge the abilities I currently have, as well as hopefully practicing some new ones in the field of filmmaking, animation, rendering, scene design and more. While Untitled 1 is also a great learning experience, I want to continue enjoying my work as I learn. And that's where I feel that Untitled 2 will thrive.

What's next for me

Here are a current list of plans I have for the remainder of 2022:

- Update Andre and Chester's rig to be more robust for Untitled 2 as well as giving them more procedural motion, meaning more of the tedious animation work is done by a computer or solver as opposed to me.

- Update AbraTools to make certain features work for the latest Blender versions

- Release Beta 2/3 of Anthgrow and release it to the public by the end of July

- Wrap up Untitled 2's storyboard and start blocking out some shots.

- and probably some other mini-projects here and there...

That's all I have to tell you for now. I hope yall stay in touch for hopefully more news regarding Untitled 2 and other interesting stuff

Take care all
