Apologies + Update on the Sticks' video + Where have i been
Added 2020-10-22 18:11:15 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's me, i'm finally back with a new preview after all this time.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates here and i'm grateful to all those who chose to stay regardless.
Since the last post i made here, things proceeded way slower than expected:
1) I wasn't satisfied with the lighting. So i had to redo and re-export all the scenes i made up to that point.
2) The new lighting created a very annoying flickering effect. So, i had to turn up the depth of field in order to make it look at least decent. This doubled (Of course) the rendering times.
3) The more i was creating, the more i realized i needed to add always a new clip, a new detail, a new particle and so on.
All this slowed the creating process of the video.
The new preview features 1:26 mins of newly animated content and i still have to animate at least 1 more min (Stay tuned vore fans!)
As you know, i'm constantly unsatisfied with everything i make and, until i find the right compromise, i won't publish anything just to have a rushed and half-assed video out. It would be disrespectful to you all and i wouldn't get any enjoyment for that. The videos will come out only when i'm pleased with them. So, don't always expect monthly content (Especially with an animation like THIS!) from now on (It's only to achieve better results) I'm also risking to break the PC. I had two system errors during the rendering of some clips, so i'm exporting 10-12 seconds max per day (I don't want to corrupt the animation file). Know that to render only 5 seconds with a 720p resolution it takes like 80-85 mins. I'm thankful i still have a PC that allows me to do what i love most (Albeit limited).
All i can guarantee you is that i've been working on this new stuff constantly, always trying to improve and experiment. I really want to climb this mountain, but it's always hard.
I can't wait to have a proper equipment just to minimize rendering times and export at a bigger quality and with high settings.
With your support, i could achieve that and i couldn't be happier.
Thanks for your comprehension.
