Hey everyone.

Thought I'd share some updates with ya'll.

Spent the last few days messing around with a new add on ice brought that simulates the sun, sky and atmospherics. So far I’m really impressed with it. Super quick to add a realistic sky, sun and clouds to a scene in seconds.

Only issue is that it’s pretty demanding in terms of rendering times. For example an outdoor scene without the sky add on could take 2 to 4 minutes on my 4090. With the add on turned on it can take upwards of 12 minutes or longer.

With that in mind when I use it for sets I may make them slightly shorter or spend longer on them (like 12 days) to account for the longer rendering times. But this wouldn’t be every set as 90 per cent of my sets are set indoors.

I’ve also started to get better at rigging models. So far I’ve rigged up a collector model from mass effect. The results are good - not great - but it serves the purpose I need.

Started this morning working on a small Final Fantasy mini set as I missed rendering out images that aren’t trees and grass.

That’s it for now. I’ll keep everyone updated with further works.

Cheers
