Everything looks fine down the distribution line...
Another short 'movie' clip I rendered as a test after updating my GPU drivers and both Octane Render runtime and the DAZ plug-in.
It can pretty much be seen as a sequel to the previously posted "Boxing In" clip and with all those lens flares it is kind of J.J.Abramsy looking.
There is one small visual flaw I noticed but otherwise it can be played in an endless loop pretty much seamlessly to create a nice view of boxed up dolls being taken down the production line of one o...

The Last Inspection
...and the next person you will see will most probably be your owner!
OK, yesterday I did a little experiment in the field of animation. Ideally it should be longer and more refined (especially when it comes to expressions). Still could be worse I guess. 60 frames rendered and now with my still ongoing hardware issues even those took very long to render.
Still, I thought that I could share the result :)
Oh and just to be clear - the image above is j...

Going virtual
(Well... At least I'm about to try to)
There is a "long" weekend ahead of me (public holiday on Monday), so I decided to try and go ahead with a plan that was brewing in my head for some time now.
I will try to deploy virtualization in my home network and convert my physical server to the virtual environment. I decided to go with the free ESXi hypervizor from VMWare that I will install on the physical PC in my network. There however are few possibly huge sinkhole...

Canada for sure has odd door to door salesmen... =)

I'm releasing this page now. The next one should be released per usual schedule on Friday morning (CET).

please forgive the pun (bad) in the title of the post. =)
Anyway, here we go! A collaboration work between me and Northern Chill featuring one of his famous original characters - The Salesman!
As I mentioned in my latest announcement I was able to (hopefully) resolve my technical issues that were preventing me from creating new content - although at a cost of greatly reduced final rendering speed.
The plan is to release one...

Actually, after doing the hardware changes as announced yesterday, I was able to later prepare and render the first frame for the SALESMAN illustrated story/comic I'm creating in collaboration with nobody else than the famous Northern Chill himself! It took how long? 20 years? As until now it was him who was writing stories and captions inspired by my works. So now, the tables have turned!
The only drawback is, that the rendering speed is greatly reduce...

OK, so I woke up this morning, took a quick shower and because my fridge is pretty much empty I set out to do some grocery shopping. Only to realize (after I arrived to the store) that today it is national holiday and all stores are closed...
Anyway... I just made some adjustments to my main workstation in an attempt to get rid of the constant crashes that are basically preventing me from creating anything 3D these days.
If it works, then I should be able to keep making stuf...

Plagued by technical issues and held back by real life I'm trying to think about ways of staying in the loop and plan for possible next project to work on.
If I manage to keep creating stuff (definitely at a reduced pace though - until I get things back up and running smoothly at least) I will be working on a sequence in collaboration with Northern Chill, turning one of his characters and stories into a comic sequence.
At the moment, Northern Chill already did his part and deliver...

As I have posted in the journal of my dA account, next week I will be leaving dA (unless some anonymous saboteur prevents me from doing that like last year).
Next week I will also be pausing my Patreon account as at the moment I'm still dealing with technical issues that pretty much prevent me from creating new content.
At the moment I'm not able to resolve those issues and since so far this year my expenses are exceeding my income (due to health related and other issues) I decide...

Somewhat troubled future
For a while now I'm dealing with crashes during rendering. It severely limits my ability to create new content (not even talking about lack of free time due to my real world job that lately forces me to stay in the office not only overtime but also during weekends).
I tried many things and I'm starting to suspect faulty main board in the computer. That is most probably the worst case scenario as my computer is pretty much outdated and replacing main board would mean that I would have to...
