End of the month poll + Next month program and more!
🕑 Added 2022-11-28 17:47:25 +0000 UTCMonthly poll rework:
Why it's necessary?
The main issue that came to my attention with the latest poll rework is the "synchronized ban". With first poll and the themes having the same ban cooldown, there's a very high risk that a "game universe" and a "theme" will always end up winning together and getting banned together or in some cases completely lock down certain character and theme combination from appearing at the same time.
New poll rework: Dynamic Themes
After days of discussion, we figured out that we can't let the ban be a strictly mathematic system because as fair as it sounds on paper, it has many flaws in practice.
The "Dynamic Themes" system makes it so the second poll is strictly based on who wins the first poll.
Current mathematical system: All the unbanned options are available on the second poll.
Dynamic themes system: Each time, 3 main themes and 5 secondary themes will be available according to character who won the first poll.
With the new system, we make sure that fitting themes are available for voted characters. Without locking them into a constant loop of three themes winning constantly one after other.
As examples: With universes full of monsters, monster will always be available.
At the same time tho, we make sure that the themes are not always available (like we currently do to some degree) and ensure that there's going to be animation variety.

Next month's schedule
Next month's schedule is gonna be quite unpredictable! All I can say for now is that there's gonna be Overwatch, WoW and Borderlands being back for the old fans :3
The schedule will be posted in the next days on Discord!
Next movie poll:
Next month, like the last year, we're gonna come up with plots for you to vote for the new movie! I'm still traumatised from all the work and stress from last movie but hopefully this time it will be easier!
Progresses:
As always, it's been another month full of progresses. With most important ones being: the new preggo variant system, more sculpting knowledge and more lights/effect studies. I'd very much like to focus a bit on geometry nodes but that's a very big field and it will indeed take it's time to be relevant and usable for my animations since there's alot to study! Hopefully next month tho!
What do you think of festivity/seasonal animations through the year?
I always thought it's a very cute thing, especially to get in the mood of a specific time of the year! So, I wanted to ask you how do you feel about this :3
Example:
A Christmas themed animation for Christmas, a spooky animation for Halloween and Beach animations during summer :3
