Yeah, I loved that part too! Character detail in animation is SOO important when it comes to making them have a personality!

They did make some behind the scenes for Spring. Look up, "Spring - Blender Open Movie Showreel" It doesn't show everything like audio. But it does show the character design, modeling, animation and lighting. There's also a video that's an hour long called, "Spring open movie - Production Report" It has some of the creators talk more about their progress.

Blender now has the capacity. Now what we need is efficiency. Good job Blender devs! You are awesome!

[@SvenBrettschneider]

This is a very popular comment, but I don't understand what you mean. Do you think Blender is inefficient to use? Is Cycles rendering inefficient with resources? How can efficiency be improved?

[@artstallion6029]

@@SvenBrettschneider I mean, like, we can delete stuff in Blender, but it's two steps, x and the choose from the menu, when x could just delete it straight away and shift+x could be for the menu or something. So like that, we need a faster workflow, especially for rigging, sculpting, hair grooming, texturing, and even grease pencil sometimes has a lot of extra steps. Like colors in grease pencil are materials, which is nice, because tweaking the material will also tweak the strokes done with it. but setting up a material is time-consuming, while in Krita or something we just choose a color from the palette and draw. We need both. material and color picker workflow.

[@SvenBrettschneider]

thanks for your explanation @@artstallion6029! Yes you're right. There still are lots of improvements that can be made. I personally still have to try out Blender 2.8, so I don't completely know how much is fixed now.

I think she's supposed to be the anthropomorphized season of spring. The creatures are the embodiment of winter. Presumably there's some summer fairy that's going to lull her to sleep with hot weather, and an autumn goblin that will sneak out of some hole and shake all the leaves down before he gets frozen by the winter creatures.
