I will say that Poppa did some good work there. Just feel like his talents would have been better served by putting TIEs into Cinefy’s Mustafar shot or something else.
I am actually PMing with Cinefy, so maybe something will come of it.
In terms of my time, though, it’s not really a “this task vs that task” sort of thing, rather it’s what I can reasonably find time to do, especially if I’m only working a few minutes at a time like it often is these days. Animating 3D models in Cinema4D takes more solid chunks of time so it wasn’t really something I was ready to jump into.
Chase, I agree that black would look very cool! I don’t think it would be easy to implement with the material we have. It’s easier to shift the hue of the existing color with secondaries, but trying to change to black won’t look quite right, unfortunately!
