==Commentary==

The cave model is by far one of the most complicated and realistic-looking Blender models I have ever done. I first made a base template with dynamic topology and shading techniques that I could reuse as I anticipate using them in upcoming puzzlehunt videos. Then I worked on the specific locales, and fortunately there were plenty enough online tutorials for me to work with. Now I can finally touch grass in Blender! I also learned useful techniques, like the ability to hide some objects in the rendering.

Most of the animation relies on Final Cut Pro keyframes. The compound clip feature has been useful for keeping my footage organized, but it can also allow me to do some makeshift joint work. Only a few traditionally animated scenes as they take incredibly long, even at just 12 FPS. I found that starting at a lower frame rate then adding in-between frames can make things look fairly smooth.

Some music featured in the video includes two tracks from ‪@JonnyAtma‬ and a cover by ‪@jasonhide‬ on a certain track. Give these tracks a listen! And shoutouts to ‪@ethan-p‬ for being the one other YouTube video that also covers GPH 2023.
