So, people. Ah, screw the formalities...

I'm back in business. Or rather, I've set the very tip of my toes back into business.

The unreachable Blender files I mentioned some time ago have been recovered, though since my computer is about as slow as the slug I saw the other day if it was dead, I can't say I am able to do much work on them.

But just in case someone was wondering what I've been up to, here is a haphazardly-posed full-body shot of the low-res Roodaka animation model I am working on to practice character animation and lip-sync with. Not sure how finished it is -- the legs need some work, as does the armature that I need to pose the model with, especially the facial settings.

I have to say I hate Blender. Truly hate how I just can't seem to figure out how almost every time I open the file, something has changed through some mind-boggling way that I cannot fathom. Seems like the problem's in my system and not with Blender, mmh? That explains the "I can't figure out how it works" part but not how the character model, the armature or the face-controls just get distorted by themselves when I'm not using the file.

If this wasn't a big enough annoyance, I realized I may have to redo Roodaka's mouth settings, since it appears if I move her head, the face-controls will simply cease to function. I know there must be some incredibly easy fix to it, and I may be able to figure it out myself if I hadn't forgotten just how I set up the controls in the first place, since it's been months since I set them, and-- GAFH! Ya' know how aggravating it is to have so much of the lip-sync already done and then having to go back and redo it almost from scratch?! This wouldn't be the first time I had to do it either.

Blender is such an awesome tool, but it should really go and get itself fucked something fierce by a horde of angry crocodiles in at least three timezones...
