The alternative version of the animation has terrible problems.

Hey everyone! As you might remember, I promised to make an alternative version featuring a pregnant variant of the character and a new outfit. However, I never expected this to become such a horrific mental and physical torture.

First, just transferring the new blendshapes and adapting the clothing took ages. But after that, the real nightmare began. Initially, she was supposed to wear a sexy Chinese qipao. I just couldn't get it to work properly with the breast physics and my animations — the mesh kept breaking over and over again, and the pregnant belly itself kept getting in the way. In the end, I had to scrap the qipao and settle for just new stockings, heels, and arm sleeves.

Now, I'm facing massive rendering issues. I literally can't get it to render because the character suddenly started eating up twice as many resources. The render engine keeps crashing constantly, and everything just breaks. I feel like I'm in some kind of mental hell where absolutely nothing works... If I can't get this to cooperate, I'm just going to drop it and fully focus on the next proper animation.
