Day 2 of my daily uploads, I put tank treads on the cube this time, wow

This time I went for a slightly more serious tone, and a bit more detail on the models and animation.

I also gave up on the MATHEMATICALLY PERFECT MEASUREMENTS and just eyeballed it, much easier to actually get it done.

No particularly fancy techniques here, turns out I just need to add a "curve modifier" and move the single segment back and forth at the right speed to loop well enough.

Some reflections on yesterday's upload:

• I should've paid more attention to the composition in terms of what was actually the area of interest: the wheels.
• I think something went wrong with the resolution; either the Vegas project settings or the render settings, maybe I used a test render by accident... This one looks much clearer though.
• I just slapped on DoF without giving it much thought, I bet that's what was causing the flickering. It didn't add much so I just took it out this time around.
• For the song, I think I was trying to cram too many musical and rhythmic ideas without really thinking about how they would mesh together. I'll just go with cut-down but more clean stuff going forward.
• I think I kept the scope of the modeling too small; for just a few short minutes more effort, I got a much more interesting model for this week. There's something to be said about diminishing returns, but like the opposite, you know?
• I should pay a bit more attention to how the encoding changes the contrast, it was a bit hard to look at compared to the output straight from Blender.
