I was originally going to make this an animation, but I was having a lot of trouble with blender. It would lag/lock up every 2 minutes (or less) for about 30 seconds. The file size was 3GB (which apparently is very large. I blame the Tifa model.) No way I could work like that. I pushed through and ended up just making an image render.
Kinda nice because the lack of animating makes it a quicker process from start to finish (or it would have without the blender problems).
As a side note, I'm thinking of altering the tier rewards so that videos for Patreon stay at 1080p but any images like this are 4K while the public gets 720p or 1080p. Something I'll add to the list of reward tweaks.
