This is going to be so amazing! Huge shout out to @khangaluwu.bsky.social and the entire VR Chat filmmaking community for making this happen. Making movies in VR is fun, challenging, and eye-opening: so many new tools and affordances, and a few interesting new obstacles. Can't wait for this!

Really cool look at how the hugging scene was animated in “Our Precious Autumn”!

I was contacted by @studiopenrose.bsky.social to work on an animation shot for an essential scene! During March to May, I had several renders leading up to the final shot, I wanted to show and share!

If you've ever created, which you have because you are human, you are in this film. I believe all of you will identify with at least one aspect of Ami's struggle, even if her full journey doesn't reflect your own. I want to say more, but I'll refrain for now. Please look forward to the release.
