More extra stuff (really nearly done)
Added 2020-10-11 00:50:43 +0000 UTCI can genuinely say this will be done in the next few days!
I've got this major part rendering right at this minute, which will run overnight. I've started doing simple demo renders of scenes to work out timings and see any glitches before I sink hours into the final render. By cranking all the settings down to minimal, I can get about 3-4 seconds per frame running, rather than the full 75 second/frame with everything on full with fur.
This scene has some complex movement in it, so I've managed to do quite a few tests to get it dialled in. It's done now, but I thought it would be good to let people see the stages this one scene has gone through.
You'll find it in the attachments.
As for what's left to do, this scene is rendering, I've got another one about the same length but should be a lot simpler. The hard part was working out how to link two very different sets of poses, and achieving those movements. After that, I have a short outro scene, but that's not an issue. It's all posed, just needs animated and rendered out.
With a bit of luck, I should have the second part of this scene wrapped up tomorrow, and maybe get the outro animated and queued up. Fingers crossed I should get this out wednesday. I've still got to edit the thing, add audio and write the blurb. Plus I'm travelling in to work this week, so even less free time. Wednesday should be achievable, and finally get this bloody thing published!
<edit> IT IS DONE </edit>
<edit edit>Still needs to render out, and it's late and I have work early. It will be rendered when I get up in the morning and released in the evening. Aiming for around 2000 GMT.</edit edit>
