Remaining stoic and learning lessons from a hellish morning...

 My word it's been a slightly testing day so far, so much so I thought it would be a good idea to make a note of it and share the simple but valuable lessons learned... Yesterday I started work on a cleaned up animation test with the aim of having part of it finished to show the group at a meeting this morning.

The problem I had with the attempt above was the sword itself was being affected by the process used to create the glow, whereas I wanted my original design to still be visible. Then I thought, 'why don't I just drop another sword on a layer above and see what that looks like... This worked and was certainly more like what I was hoping to achieve however I prefered the blue from the first attempt so adjusted that and tried again.
