This is nothing mind blowing, I'm just having one of those days.
I'm working on some motion graphics in Blender. It is for an upcoming series that I have spent the majority of this week working on. I have spent the better part of today on just this template. I'm not exactly a noob. This is a big part of what I do. Sometimes things just seem to not want to happen. I'm guessing it happens to the best of us from time to time. I know it happens to me on a regular basis.
Design-wise, I think things are looking good, and now I can roll out all of the custom bar graphs my little heart desires.
Now to get back to it and work out a few more templates so I can start animating tomorrow morning.
v2 of the template is much better, I think. There are a handful of little tweaks that make it much more visually appealing and also more flexible as a template for future customizations.
