June news - Update
Added 2017-06-15 21:59:43 +0000 UTCHey y'all!
I've got good news! I completed the animation phase of the project. As of yesterday I've got all the animation ready to go! In the past that would mean I could start rendering, but things are a little more complicated now, so I will be spending the next few days optimizing and tweaking both the render settings and the lighting of the scene.
A friend with more experience at rendering and lighting has lend a hand and I think we've got something pretty sweet going. Compare the old scene:
To the new one:
While there is no accounting for taste, I think it looks a lot better and atmospheric, especially in the scenes that follow.
I'll begin rendering in the next few days, which will take around 5 days. As such I'm reasonably confident the animation will be completed before the end of the month, so fingers crossed!
In other news
Over the next week while the animation is rendering I'm going to create a "customer satisfaction survey " in which i'll ask some questions about the rewards, tier costs and the sort of animations you like to see. Depending on the results there may be some changes, but that's a discussion for another time.
So don't be surprised if you see that pop up. I look forward to seeing your responses.
That's it for now. If you have any questions, as always, feel free to comment or join me on the patreon Discord group.
