    sometimes things bug out. So I am guessing they encountountered a problem that was going to corrupt their entire program or something and werent able to fix it in time. I say this because, for example, fortnite has a lot of stuff in it and many times during a season, they remove certain items for their ground breaking bugs. So, they had to remove it. All, in all, I just hope that they bring back easier options in blender and it stays there.

    Everytime I see one of your videos, wether new or rewatching it, I get SO hyped to go back into blender. This is not an exception, I have a lowpoly model I want to finish, making it from 0 with custom rig basic rig, but this will help me a lot for an advanced rig! Also need to figure out the animated textures and stuff.

    I like this. Also if any one reading this who is an artist. Sadly it's a trade off if the goal is to reach a point where your own work satisfied you. even with a rigged character it requires a little skill development just to have decent character acting, that's if the goal is that sense of satisfaction with your work.... The funny thing about shortcuts is they are more impactful if you KNOW what the long cut is all about. The worst thing is taking the short cut at the incorrect section of work flow.
