Note this is a tutorial on importing them for use, not for making the textures themselves. This was just gonna be for some friends but thought maybe others could find it beneficial. The recording sadly is off sync but I hope I was descriptive enough that it won't be too messy.
Huge thanks to Faina Lotea for putting this together in such short notice. Check out her deviantart fainalotea.deviantart.com

![[SFM] Fiona Promo Ft. Valri Cat
Be sure to check out Valris full cover over here! https://youtu.be/ZWjfaM0hXXg
This is one of my favorite songs from Nier Automata and hearing Valris cover really got me in the mood for Fionas Saga related stuff, so I wanted to do this little video inspired by her epic singing! This was a real blast to work on and I hope you all enjoy both this animation and her full cover. Up next Ill be working on finishing up Tails. vs. Chaos.

![[SFM] Classic Shorts Compilation: Generations
Thank you for being a part of this journey!
Here is a collection of my Classics Shorts, dubbed the Generations Shorts as these comprise of the silent shorts Ive made that involve the modern and classic cast interacting with one another. If there is one you see here that isnt from a classic short Ive done, its because it doesnt fall under the same category I listed, so Im sure I got them all ^^ Some songs had to be changed due to issues over content ID that suddenly popped up for this video only.

The heat got to me so I may not have adequately said what I wanted to but in short, thank you all for a wonderful first year on Youtube! I will confess that this has been the hardest year Ive ever faced, but youve all been a bright corner that I could turn to for help through it all. To those Ive met and come to know, thank you for the honor. And especially to all of you whove come to watch, I hope to do a better job for all of you this coming year as I learn more and more.
