Chloe Manifestation - Render Previews
Added 2025-01-02 22:52:35 +0000 UTCHappy New Year folks! Here are some fresh render previews to blast off 2025, showing the first scenes that involve Chloe. Disregard did the character animation in these, while I took care of the layout, VFX, and other aspects. Still some clipping and a few minor things I haven't caught in the stair walk. Will have to take care of that in post, oop!
For this year, we're mainly hoping to finish Encounter 3, for which I should have another in-progress preview that will be posted somewhere in the next months. We're pretty close to completion in regards to the first part of the animation, so you should also see the first shots of the rooftop battle within that time frame.
Right now the entire rendering process is still lagging behind a little, which is why for this year I also want to get a better render rig that isn't held together by glue and duct tape. Since we're now working on such a high level, I've started looking into actual industry-grade solutions such as the H3 Platform for external GPUs. Unfortunately these things are extremely expensive, but seeing how a solution like that would significantly boost rendering capabilities, it might actually be worth investing into them it in the long run. At the same time, I'm also looking into the Threadripper Pro platform, but the main issue here would be the case itself. If there are some PC builders among you that have any recommendations for super-sized PC cases that can hold two, or perhaps even three 4090/5090-level cards through PCIe extenders, I'm all ears!

Ah sweet. Don't work to hard. Looking forward to it😊👍🏻

2025-01-15 08:45:59 +0000 UTCAye! Her mood is pretty much supposed to change the weather, which is also a convenient way to change the lighting around her to make her look fancy! (:

2025-01-15 08:45:49 +0000 UTCI'll see if I can add the list, as well as previous animation releases to the collections since that is a feature now! :D

2025-01-15 08:44:35 +0000 UTCAwesome, thanks for the hint! Unfortunately I'm in Europe, which is why this case wasn't on my radar, hah! I'm currently looking at Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 Server as well, which I might equip with a 2000W PSU. It seems a lot like space won't be such a huge issue anymore, as the RTX 5090 just takes up two slots. Well, the Founder's Edition at least. Will have to see if I'm able to snipe at least one of these since the size and memory makes them ideal for a render rig! Thank you for the recommendation! (:

2025-01-15 08:42:59 +0000 UTCFirst part hopefully in a few months! Then the second part likely at the tail end of the year! Fingers crossed! :D

2025-01-15 08:35:40 +0000 UTCBtw, just out of curiosity, Is there any way to access previous animations? Like a download list or something?

2025-01-14 16:56:13 +0000 UTCShe looks so imposing and epic that it captivates me, I am amazed by the fact that her mere presence alters the entire environment including the weather outside, going from a gloomy and cloudy environment to a warmer and sunnier one, excellent work and I hope that all the work you have ahead of you turns out well.

2025-01-04 00:10:32 +0000 UTCI heard rumors you worked in Hollywood before. It was believable, but now it feels undeniable.

2025-01-03 12:43:31 +0000 UTCHi Cake, experienced builder here. First thing's first, I'd ditch intel since their modern stuff is either unstable or unimpressive. If you have a casual $3000 laying around, I'd get an ASRock TRX50 WS motherboard, as it has a suitable PCIe layout for three 4090/5090 cards. Pair that with a threadripper 7960X and some ECC DDR5 (must be ECC DDR5, it's keyed differently than regular DDR5). That thing should rip, on top of having direct connect GPUs, none of that riser nonsense. As for a case, I'll keep an eye out, nothing commonly available that will house such a mammoth of a system. Do you have a discord? EDIT: I re-read your comment and saw that you were already looking into threadripper pro, so it looks like your only real problem is a case EDIT 2: After about 15 minutes of research, I found the Silverstone ALTA D1, which has 11 pci slots and support for 2 power supplies, more than capable of holding the mammoth. Hopefully you're in the US, or shipping gonna be a bitch

2025-01-03 09:17:09 +0000 UTCTotally not just showing off how great Chloe's fur looks in different lighting lol. You've certainly got your work cut out for you! Here's hoping it's a smooth sailing.

2025-01-03 05:19:34 +0000 UTCChloe is so dramatic, making such a big entrance when she can just suddenly appear xD

2025-01-03 03:59:58 +0000 UTCThis is looking epic; can't wait to see the finished product. Also those stairs are a great addition, much better than just walking on thin air towards him. As for the clipping you mentioned, I couldn't see it, even after watching the clip several times in full-screen mode.

2025-01-02 23:03:36 +0000 UTCChloe looks amazing in these renders. Can’t wait for the full thing (or just even the first preview!)

2025-01-02 23:01:39 +0000 UTCDamn, this looks absolutely gorgeous!! She's also definitely a new favorite ❤️

2025-01-02 22:58:35 +0000 UTCGot Eternal by Rezz playing in my headphones, and it makes that manifestation shot feel cyberpunk as heck 😂 Cant even tell with the clipping, it's looking amazing!🤩 can't wait to see more

2025-01-02 22:58:04 +0000 UTCThis is looking beautiful so far dude. You really are one of the best. Loved all your previous work. Any idea when it will be roughly completed this year?😁😄

2025-01-02 22:56:45 +0000 UTCSounds cool! What are your current specs?
