I've been putting a lot of work into the site whenever I can get time - and at times when I should be asleep. I hope I'm making the navigation easier as I go. I've reorganized some of the topic to flow within the hierarchy of their categories in a more natural (I think?) manner and put some things into different categories when I thought it made more sense to do so. I don't think it'll mess with links to the individual pages. If it did, and I messed someone up because of it, I apologize.

DaVinci Resolve (Do it in Post > Editing Zone) now has the official Blackmagic Design training videos along with links to download them as well as the working files, and some of their other official videos. I wanted to get the ball rolling for how excited I am to be using this incredible (free - yet Hollywood movie-class) software. I'm working on some of my Hybrid tutorials (videos with support articles) for the Edit and Fusion pages in Resolve, but since I wanted to host these official training videos anyway, and I didn't want to wait until mine are done, I went ahead and gave the page a good start, I think.

Other additions:

Added Using Genesis in Carrara (with a link to Misty's awesome presets sold here)

Added Transferring Character Morphs via NLA

Added Hybrid aniMation and updated Animating a bit

Added aniMate 2, along with the awesome GoFigure tutorials and demonstrations, as well as JonnyBravo's tutorial for the aniBlock Importer for Carrara

Added a brief article on Carrara Cafe with a link to the Carrara 3D Expo magazines

Added a start to my new Inspiration page within the Gallery - currently featuring some video playlists I've made for my own animation/art inspiration

Created a new Home page (more brief, with collapsible text paragraphs) and changed the original to the new The Software page

...and made some other changes like making my wording a bit more clear, fixed a few typos, moved Downloads in to the Gallery... it's all meant to grow at a fairly steady pace now. I'm pretty excited about it.

What I'm not happy with is that I still haven't added any of the Renderosity material I've been working on. There's a lot! I have so much that I want to say "Right Now" but can only do so much. I've been considered Essential through this whole COVID 19 thing, and now with the protesting and rioting going on, everything is getting even more strange - taking my precious Carrara time away.

No matter what they through at me, I'll always get to my Carrara! Thank goodness for our wonderful Batch Queue Renderer!!!

Okay, let's try this video post thing:

Dammit!
