Pretty Excited to show you guys this next section.

It has been a real testing ground with keyframing, using the graph editor, particles and reskinning. All of which are considerably more fun than lipsyncing!

I plan on adding a camera movement and change of focus in the long first shot (when they huddle together), and will probably come back to add a ceiling and sort out the background characters. I'm happy with the animation in the middle shot, but it was the last shot which was the major learning curve!

In order to use the levitation particles created by Argodaemon (Check out his tutorials, what a guy!) you need a model for the 'sparkles' to wrap around. The scroll and quill work well enough, but the horn isn't a separate model. In fact, I discovered a small traffic cone (now lodged in Rarity's head) has the perfect dimensions to hide inside the horn and provide the particles with something to wrap around!

Going to work a little slower over the winter break, but should be back with some updates soon!

Enjoy!
