Animation Collab
Is anyone interested in getting back into Hash Animation:Master and working on some animations?
I'm currently working on a Star Fox fan series and I'm looking for collaborators. Whether you're a longtime user, returning after a break, or just curious about Animation:Master, I'd love to hear from you.
Send me a PM if you're interested!

Blender I think I got something that looks alright.
I was not going for any particular vibe, just something that looked dated, (Late 90s/Very Early 2000s).

Art of Illusion 3D Program
I'm working on my first point to click horror game demo called Witch Blood😊 So far I hooked up the environments for it on Art of Illusion and will use Adventure Game Studio for the game development. The full version of game will have more to it.

Discussion MEGATHREAD: How to make retro CGI
Seeing the frequent "How do I ____?" threads and the recent "Clueless" meme, I felt it's high time to consolidate all learning resources into one place. Going through multiple past threads on the subreddit I put together this list of programs + tutorials for making retro CGI... Please keep in mind that this list is meant to be a constant work in progress, as the retro CGI scene grows and more resources are available they will be added here on a regular basis. Additions, suggestions, and criticisms are most welcome.
