I'm calling the rider finished now, spent a long time playing around with various proportion adjustments and settled for this. Now I hope to get the cat finished up quickly.
Finished! Its still pretty rough around the edges but deadlines are deadlines. I stopped updating this thread pretty quickly, but if anyone is curious here it is: https://vimeo.com/541099565
Job well done then, I suppose? Thanks for the help spotting rips, guys. I forwarded this thread as proof to the mods and it seems they took action very quickly.
The only thing that annoys me is the fog ends too quickly, it should be a lot more subtle and perhaps have some thin, slowly moving swirls at the bottom.
Pick any two: It can be done quickly It can be done to a high standard It can be done with low cost This is how just about anything manufactured works.
