Episode 4, Update #23
Added 2024-07-28 14:06:42 +0000 UTCTally ho,
As per the last dev-log, I mentioned I was going to expand some of the earlier scenes. This work is now completed and puts them to a 100% (Green circled area). What I thought was going to be maybe about 25 additional renders, turned into 50, and then 75, finally ending on a 115... πThey're currently being rendered out overnight and I feel like my machine is doing overtime. I haven't shut it down at all for well over a month, and I'm not sure how healthy it is to keep it running for that long! π₯΅
I can finally move over to the other branch for a while. I'd like to say that this is the final stretch, but I'm not sure yet how long it will take to complete it. It could be a long stretch. I'm starting somewhere in the middle (yellow circled area), as there are two stages to this branch that require a changing environment. I have to start at the final stage, as that'll determine what the earlier stage will look like. I'll work my way backwards from there.
As mentioned some dev-logs ago, I started converting some older gen8 characters to 8.1. Some characters that are exclusively featured on Ivan's branch, now have to have this conversion applied as well. So in short, a bit of environment work and a bit of character work.
Not much else to report on and the preview is random, and has nothing to do with what I've done these last couple of days. π
Chat soon,
Ezy

As long as the heat is within tolerance for all components, you'll be fine. Rooting for you as always good sir.

I keep track internally on Trello, but it's nowhere near as visual as this. Backups happen every week. I hope to invest in some NAS setup at some point, but I can't afford that right now. I think the PC will be fine, I just never had it run this long at home. π
