Behind (the scene of) Mei's Invasion (Intro)
🕑 Added 2022-01-07 15:28:29 +0000 UTCOk after a long talk with myself I decided to post the record of Mei's invasion's (partial) creation process.
It is a 100H record of me doing boring 3D stuff compressed in 8 videos for a total of almost 5 hours ^^.
Here are the beginning of the first and the last vids.

Thanks to this record I was able to conclude that Mei's invasion took me around 200H of work ^^.
I have absolutely no idea if this will have an interest for you or not so don't hesitate to tell me what you think. For now they are for Corruptor tier supporters ^^.
Take care ^^!

Haha ok thank you it's reassuring ^^. It's probably still not clear enough but I can understand attention can be focused on something else XD.
Damn! I went back and watched it again and saw everything, exactly as you describe. I don't know how I managed to miss it while watching it several times when I first got it. Chalk up one to early senility.
You are very welcome, happy to know you enjoy this kind of thing ^^. Thanks for your question, that's a proof that I need to improve my staging and the readability of my scenes. Mei is indeed in a very bad posture but on the last moment of the global scene (her hanging) we can see the crystal starting to levitate. When we are on her face we see a flash of light in the room and hear the portal opening. Then just before she falls we can see a lightning cutting the rope she is hung to ^^.
Thanks for this; it's always fascinating to see the kind of work that goes into making something like this. I have never been able to figure out whether Mei dies. We see her strangling, and her death seems imminent, but then we see her alive on the ground. Something released her from the noose. Was it death that released her, or was it the same magic that took her away at the end?
