a-rendering we shall go
Added 2019-07-19 08:00:13 +0000 UTCHello all,
My main rig is tied up rendering a huuuuuge "Welcome to the MKU" video I've been thinking about for a while...my first multiple 1000-frame, one-shot clips ever. The upside, they're neat. The downside, it takes a day to render one.
But anyway...I'm going to sneak some new images up in the next day or two until that monster video, with lots of custom dialogue, is ready. More soon!
my best to you all, always,
D

Well, not quite. The animations are set for 30 frames per second. I usually construct the videos from individual shots, each only a couple of seconds long, since it takes so long to render each frame. But for this one, there are several individual shots that are 30+ secs each...and it's really only one character talking, for most of it. And still it takes most of a day just to render one of those shots...Oy. It can get tedious waiting for those scenes.

2019-07-23 06:32:55 +0000 UTCMore than 1000 frames? Are you saying it's going to be more than 33 minutes?
2019-07-23 06:27:40 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm actually considering getting a second rendering machine, so I can create on one while the other renders. I'm itching to get more content out there! Thanks, -D

2019-07-21 19:01:19 +0000 UTCThat's an interesting idea. I'll have to mull that one over. Honestly, ideally I'd like to lower the two more expensive tiers, but I just don't know if the increase in subscribers would make up for the loss of revenue -- I'm right at the point where every single one matters, and this is such a niche market I'm worried there wouldn't be new folks to make up the difference.

2019-07-21 18:57:48 +0000 UTCI understand. I'm creating content as fast as I can, but I know there are limits to my abilities and to your pocketbook. If you have to leave, I hate to see you go but I hope you'll come back someday.

2019-07-21 18:53:03 +0000 UTCI don't think there is enought content monthly for 20$:/ 20$ is super expensive by the way. There is no way i can pay it month to month basis:/ so what i do i subscribe to patreons like once per two/three months to see new stuff. Content that is only temporary available i don't think is a good idea. Artist wants to share and when patreon goes that way i just unsubscribe and never do that again(because i will not see older content anyway)

2019-07-19 22:49:27 +0000 UTCHey Dusty, I know this is one of your "feature" $20 clips but I was wondering if you'd be open to a drop tier system like some SFM artists do where the highest tier content is available exclusively for a period of time (usually a week or two) to only those subscribers but then lower tier subscribers at $10 can get access later. It prevents people from just jumping in at a lower tier to grab the video because they can't really tell what a full video is without subscribing.
2019-07-19 14:57:51 +0000 UTCIt is definitely worth the wait, take your time :)
