This project grew much larger in scope than I had originally intended, and burnout made it impossible for me to do more with it. It was already getting incredibly unwieldy, so I apologize in advance for not covering non-uniform splines, and the general jankiness of some parts. There are also quite a lot of places where I just talk about something without showing it, but since I couldn't animate it all, I opted to keep that information in rather than remove it altogether
• Lots of love to
💛 Jazz "queenjazz" Mickle for music & sounds ❱ queenjazz.bandcamp.com/
🐈 our children, Thor, Salad & Toast, for helping me out during recording
• How was this video made?
🔨 I made it in Unity, the game engine
⭕ Using Shapes, my vector graphics plugin ❱ u3d.as/1W37
📈 Using Mathfs, my math library ❱ github.com/FreyaHolmer/Mathfs
...along with a bunch of hacky, partially broken, procedural animation tools I made specifically for this video
💡 Striped studio skybox by ProAssets: assetstore.unity.com/packages...
🎥 Final editing in DaVinci Resolve
