in 1.20.21  4:10 am , you say that 3D was about to ruin your whole life; how so?
around august 2020, i had gone so far down the rabbit hole of programing, experimenting, and planning, that i suddenly realized there is no end in sight. i'd spent the previous few months working character animation (it was then that i modeled and developed the rig and character animation system i still use today) and i was just doing test videos where a person is talking for 5 or 10 minutes (not me, just random clips i found from interviews. some of them were actually foreign languages just for the heck of it) to hone in on my abilities to animate a character talking, gesturing, etc. and somewhere along the line i decided it's probably a good idea to make some teeth appear and disappear in the mouth, to make the letter "F" (or "V", etc) jump out a bit more. so, somewhere in the midst of trying to develop the F-teeth scheme, i realized there was no end to how deep this goes and i jumped hastily out of the rabbit hole and directly into the song/video writing and selection process to prepare the next actual video for production and release
