I think that will give you horrible results if you're planning on baking it but only testing it will tell.

This new design built each…

To all Animators ....after a lot of reflection, I’ve realized that quality animation process/workflow videos are unfortunately not always affordable or available to everyone in certain parts of the world. The internet, on the other hand, is something that most people have access to, which is why today I’m announcing the…
