User blog:DabbidyDab/V3 Chapter 1: Oobleck's New Eyes and Other Things

Everyone is talking about the new episode, of course, I spotted a lot of stuff in the Episode the first couple of times watching it. Namely, contrary to my expectations, a lot of the models have been changed even if only slightly, but a few things caught my eye.



Chiefly, something struck me as odd about Prof- Dr Oobleck when looking at him:

I could have sworn his eyes were brown before, and they are even listed as such on this very wiki. Personally I kinda prefer this new look, but still. Also Ports hair looks much whiter than before, the same thign that happened to ozpin last Volume, although that could be the compositing.

I'm not the only one who noticed Sky Lark, Yatsuhashi and Team Bronze Sniper Lady, and some other people saw Fox too.

(Controversial Opinion Inbound)

With the notable exception of combat (which was inevitable really) I think the animation has IMPROVED, if only slightly, RWBY's "casual" animation has always looked clunky to me, and while it got a lot better in V2 it didn't stay better for very long. Hopefully the same doesn't happen again. The aesthetics too are also much better, again, dunno how long that will last.

Of course it could be that casual motion has a lot of slow-ins and slow-outs, which the computer puts in by default when animating, and it's that which bothers me most about the combat animation (when things hit something they stop dead, they don't slow down for it). Still even the combat animation was as bad as I feared, didn't take me out of the experience.
