This video shall be my official departure from Source Filmmaker, now fully embracing Blender. There may still be one or two videos that are still done in SFM, some holdovers and such, but newer projects and original animations will be done in Blender! I figured I make it my most popular video on the channel, A Tails Short. Fun fact, I had this video out around the same time all that years ago, please enjoy and look forward to more consistent animation output in 2026!

This all began as a test with smoke particles, I was looking for some fog effects, but then I had some old cartoons playing and it inspired me to make this XD Carol was the one I started this with, and came to find that the others could also easily take the animation, with some adjustment needed. Each of the models in the FP Megapack have the same face flexes so that was a given, but their rigs differ slightly so I was surprised at how well they didnt break immediately from the animation as what tends to happen XD Hope you enjoy!

It never crossed my mind that there were cutscenes with audio recorded that were cut from Freedom Planet during production so when I stumbled across these lines I was quite surprised! I do understand that some of the other cut pieces of dialogue were perhaps redundant or didnt flow well with other cutscenes that would occur later, still I wish some of them made it to the final game, like this little scene for instance ^^

Some dialogue and sound effects for the FP2 sample demo came out recently on the Sounds Resource and after hearing one of Dawn Bennetts yells as Lilac, I just had to create a short scene around it! So here is the result of that, which was pretty fun to work on and helped me get a good handle on some post rendering edits that I didnt really know how to use. Hope you like how this scene came out!

YouTube wants clips and shorts so time to deliver, besides this seems rather appropriate for Sonic as well XD For those who may not recall this was part of Roger Craig Smiths narration at the end of Crash 4, a game I thoroughly enjoyed and still enjoy today and I still cant believe we even got a game like that to begin with!

Back with a new animation for one of my favorite Archie Sonic characters! I was especially fond of her transformation we saw in the Post Genesis Wave run, as super forms go, it felt like it suited the character well, I liked that the way to trigger it was distinct and the unique design she sported. Just all around was a surprise and a cool idea in my opinion, so I made a proper full animation of her in this form, I hope you enjoy it!
