Another

experiment/project is complete. There's a bit of a backstory to this animation:
It's my niece's favourite toy. It's Donna, the heir to the throne of a magical faraway land. She lives with us, but she ended up in the washing machine during her last visit. I told her that she was with her people, celebrating Midsummer. She was upset until I promised to make a video of her returning to my place after the festivities.
I guess I'll edit the rest of the video tomorrow.

I encountered some strange segmentation faults with the project during rendering. After 10 attempts to identify and resolve the issue, I gave up. The particle effect doesn't look quite right, but I didn't have enough time to work out why it was crashing while also working on other things. But for a short video on a smartphone, it's good enough.
