I'd like to request a nurm render– if there is a model of him available?.. im not sure if there is :( been looking all over for content of my boyo and tried the mineimator s2 pack but it's not very well put together,,, and I haven't quite figured blender out yet myself

if you can, anything works, it can be as simple as you want!! have been starving for content of my man, I'll seriously be so grateful wahhh.. nonetheless, I hope you have a lovely day!! really love your work :]]

Heya. I'm so sorry this is like months late... I will not watermark this one since it is so overdue. Feel free to use it as a PFP (with credit, please)

"... jess... I'm so hungry I could eat a..."

yeah it's too easy to find me nowadays and google has a stupid shitty AI overview of me so if you see it avoid it at all costs or if you type my name in please put -ai at the end

My first ever render in general was on the 25th of September, 2022. This was just 4 days after I made my first ever animation. So, 3 years ago, nearly 4.

My first ever MCSM related render using Mineimator was on the 23rd of June, 2024.

My first ever MCSM related render using Blender was on the 21st of July, 2024.

I don't know exactly when I got into MCSM. Everything from 2022-2023 was a blur. I remember 2024 really solidified my MCSM obsession because in 2024, I was just starting to finally get the hang of animation and using Mineimator/Blender. 3D art was a new hobby to me, and I wanted to explore it further using MCSM, since I had basically just finished binge-watching both seasons and found I had really, really enjoyed it.

I do know that I was slightly interested in it in late 2023, but as I said, 2024 really solidified it for me.

I still remember my most core memory thought while animating Petra for the first time: "Imagine if I animated the Minecraft: Story Mode characters but with realistic movements. I wonder if anyone else has done that before."

I also remember making that first animation. I was struggling to get the enchantment glint working on Miss Butter, and I was struggling to get the lighting how I wanted it to be. The process was so slow, and I was confused, but it was so fun figuring things out for the first time without worrying if my work was bad or not, since I knew it wouldn't have been seen by many people because of how small the MCSM fandom was... little did I know.

Sorry for the ramble. Thinking of this stuff makes me nostalgic and a little emotional. It's just so weird knowing how clueless I was back then, having no idea what a different trajectory my entire life was gonna take.

If I didn't use MCSM as a comfort game/series, I wouldn't be here animating all the cool stuff I have so much pleasure doing. Even though 2024 was such a shit-show for me, I can't help but feel grateful that I went through crap and held MCSM tightly to myself for comfort.

It can depend on how big the project is. Sometimes my work, both 3D and 2D, only takes 2-5 hours. Sometimes it takes 2 days or 4. Other times it has taken weeks. None of this is counting rendering times when it comes to my 3D works, but it does count compiling and in-post editing times.

For example, my "As I Decay" animation took around 3 days for 46 seconds.

My most recent "Bang Bang Bang" one took maybe 7 hours or so.

My "Let's go" took 1-2 days (unsure).

My "razor.deep" AMV, I'm not sure of, but I think it would've taken 4 days to animate all the scenes, add lighting and compositing and finally in-post editing. It is 2:04 minutes long.

My 2D art definitely takes less time, but still has the same amount of effort. It's just quicker to draw on a 2D canvas than to spend 30 minutes tweaking things and doing passes over 3D animations, as well as lighting things and doing post editing.

My "Death is Misunderstood" art piece, which I am most proud of, only took 7 hours total, with a 1-day break.

My most recent Petra art piece took 8 hours, including the 3 different fully rendered versions.

Some of my 2D works have only taken an hour or two.

It takes a lot of work... but I'd have it no other way. For me, making art is about the process and less about the final product. I strive to create a good, high-quality final product, yes, and that is my end goal, but my first priority is to just have fun with it during the whole process. Seeing everything come to life during the process as I work tirelessly for hours upon hours upon hours, amounting to days, is so fun and rewarding to notice the improvements I make. People don't notice the improvements since they're not me, but I notice mine all the time.

Plus, being able to endure hours, days, or weeks of just working on scenes, editing, and stuff, just because it's FUN is a really good skill to have that a lot of people nowadays don't have... (glaring at the AI sloppists rn.)

I love working.

I am a beaver after all.

I've actually gained the confidence in myself to start doing cool animations with my own models I made ✌️ 🥹

Hai waves hai :DDDDD

hi bro

I have .. an idea 👀

perhaps

circle circle dot dot (the song) but it’s with shattered reality petra + tormentor ?

I think you are reading my mind because I have been meaning to do this for about 7 months now and simply haven't gotten to thinking of enough good ideas for it. I should commit to it.
