If anyone here remember's Star Fox, there's a fan-made series called A Fox In Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieM18rZdHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieM18rZdHY The story is, they moved all their assets over to Blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m09ZOHmGf8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m09ZOHmGf8s That's the whole kit. Apparently it's awesome at 2D-like animations. They started moving over before 2.80 dropped grease pencil: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.80/Grease_Pencil https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.80/G... The creator was updating his Patron saying the lack of updates was him spending a month mastering Blender. Now they don't have to hop around N number of different Adobe applications, with that cloud service running the bg slowing everything down. It even hangs when I restart. Blender is great teamwork, open source at it's finest. But some bits of it - maybe just my imagination - feel it's a sort of wake up call to players like Adobe that overreach trying to push services cloud stuff on users.

By dropped you mean like delivered / dropped off, right?

  Yep, added in 2.80!

  Interesting that it can mean one thing or literally the opposite, with the exact same phrasing. Language is weird.

    This is actually a common phenomenon, typically connected with meaning changing over time. Two examples that spring immediately to my mind are: • Cleave: to cleave to something means to stick tight (this is now an uncommon usage), while to cleave something is to cut it in sunder. • Let: now means “permit” but used to mean “hinder”. The older sense is broadly obsolete, but is still used in tennis (“let” meaning there was some hindrance to the serve, typically but not exclusively from the ball striking the net). I suspect “couldn’t care less” being corrupted to “could care less” (which should mean something quite dissimilar) is a related sort of case, but I’m no linguist. I can imagine that all of these cases could be at least partly due to carelessness or misunderstanding of the word or idiom; but again, I’m no linguist.
