Episode 6 Progress Update #3
Added 2021-11-26 18:01:02 +0000 UTCEpisode 6 Progress Update #3
Last update, I estimated I was at about 70-percent through the renders I needed. Now I'd say I'm at about 75 to 80-percent. It seems like a small jump in a couple of weeks but part of the issue is that I underestimated just how many renders it would take to finish this scene. I probably should have just split this episode in half to make two shorter episodes. Instead, this will just be a longer episode with a lot happening in it. To put things into perspective, this one scene alone is longer than some previous episodes with how many renders it is.
This scene is taking longer than usual not just because of the number of renders but the renders themselves. They involve a lot of characters, so they take more time to let them render. And this is on top of having to pose multiple characters.
Episode 6 is pretty important in terms of the storyline. It will change the entire complexion of the story. I figure I should take as much time as I can to appreciate this moment and what it means for all of the characters. I can't say much else about the content without giving things away.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. After spending a month on one scene, I am approaching the end of it. There are just two more sequences I need to get through. And after that, it's on to rendering the rest of the episode.
Thanks for your patience as you wait for more progress. I'm doing my best to make sure this episode lives up to the wait.
You made an agreement for Saul McCarthy to come over from Viridian and possibly help out the coffee shop. This could be the big break the coffee shop needs if it can secure a loan.
What will the first encounter between Saul and Billy be like? What does this mean for you? What does it mean for the coffee shop? And what could it mean for Midtown?
Thanks again to all of you. It feels like November went by so fast. I'll have some special renders ready for the end of the month and I have some big plans for December. I hope to see you all then.
Take care and have a good weekend.
