Status update Episode 12

Added 2025-07-04 14:31:02 +0000 UTC

This week, I began by writing dialogue and posing static renders.

Other than that, I have been working hard on something special that I can't talk about yet.

The big news this week is that I have replaced a very important PC. For the duration of Being a DIK, I have used a master PC for my work. This master PC had my development environment set up in great detail and controlled all my other systems. It was responsible for all storage, compilation, and my day-to-day tasks. I've basically done everything related to Being a DIK with this PC.

Aside from the occasional hardware parts I've swapped, I've been looking to replace this PC for a couple of years, and this week, I did it. Consequently, I needed to clone my master PC to its replacement and upgrade the software to handle the 5090 GPU I installed. It's been very important to spend time on this and to be meticulous, ensuring that it works in the same way that I'm familiar with. Setting it up has been smooth, and the difference in performance is night and day. The render speed is great, and image and video post-processing is super-fast (roughly three times as fast as my old master PC). It will be a joy to work on this PC.

As I mentioned earlier, I will continue to upgrade my hardware periodically. This particular upgrade took a bit longer to set up than a standard render slave. Hopefully, it will last a long time.

Next week, I will work on animations again and attempt to optimize rendering for 5090 GPUs. I'm very excited about that.

Poll

Earlier this week, a cosmetic poll for Sage went live. If you missed it or would like to participate in the voting, you can do so here as a $10+ patron.

Have a nice weekend
