It just came to me

I think I have figured it out. And I don't see how I could possibly be wrong this time. You can't have a vertex belong to more than 4 vertex groups. That's what causes the error. I think I need to add this information to my RCT3 Animation tutorial. I should be given a medal or something for figuring this out.

I will report back when I have configured the model properly to conform to this quirky rule.

Please don't be mad at me...

Well, my laptop has been gone this week because it's hard drive failed. So I've been getting absolutely no work done while it's been getting it's hard drive replaced. Of course, it's not as though I was getting any work done before this incident, either.

Don't worry about my data, though. I have a complete system image backed up on my trusty external HDD, so I haven't lost a single hour of work.

Basically this doesn't mean anything to you. I haven't lost any progress, and I haven't made any progress. Why am I posting this then? Oh, wait, I went over that already.

Well anyway, I hope you're not mad that I've been in procrastination land this summer. I just haven't felt like working... and maybe that's totally lame and someday I'll realize how lame I am, but for now I feel justified in not beating myself up that I haven't "spent enough time" on my current project. And I hope you aren't mad about that.

Spectacular news! Today I found out that the last RCT3 Crash montage that I uploaded to YouTube has it's audio back! I feel hugely vindicated. When the audio was initially muted, YouTube was pushing it's ridiculous audio swap feature. I was appalled! Replace my video's music with something other than what I intended!? Absurd! I would never give in! And now.... MUAHAHAHA! THE AUDIO HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, the video will probably never regain the popularity it once had, and should still have now, were it not for the audio being ripped out. Check out the YouTube insight for it:

Yeah. It was pretty much dead in the water once the audio was taken away. Who knows if it will make a comeback? Nonetheless, I am very happy that anyone who cares can once more watch the montage in it's full, precisely timed glory.
