Dev Update #222

Scene 26.

Is posed. I finished it today. Half of it has yet to be rendered.

Speaking about renders. I encountered a few weird problems with assets "moving" in renders. It's probably an issue with a smoothing modifier taking too long to settle, which might be a problem when I render overnight by using a queue. I tested a few things and it seems to render fine when I render "manually". I'll have to render about 15 renders that way to make sure the images are actually ok.

Pc-Chan.

Is back online. I had the water-cooling loop fully cleaned, the thermal paste changed, and a new nvme drive installed. The weird delta I had before the journey to the workshop seems to still be there but reduced in intensity by a couple of degrees. I'm not overly worried so far, I should be able to render without issue. I'll just be careful with the next hundred renders and control that the temperature won't go crazy, but there is no reason for anything to go wrong.

Scene 27.

While Pc-Chan was away, I worked on writing scene 27. As I mentioned last week, the scene is composed of 5 different sequences. So far, I have written about 2k more or less definitive words and it covers the first sequence and, I think, a third of the second sequence. I hope to fit everything in 10k words or less. I feel like it might be difficult. We'll see.

While Pc-Chan was away, I worked with a very minimal set-up ( an Android tablet paired with a Bluetooth keyboard) and from a quite cosy coffee shop. I actually enjoyed the experience. I might do it again. 

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 26 and 27.
• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 reworked scenes from Day 2, Scenes 1 and 10.
• Day 2, Scene 1 and 10 have been rewritten, posed, rendered. The scripts have been sent for proofreading.
• Day 6, Scene 26 has been written, posed and half of it is rendered
• 9549 words of reworked content, and 7331 words of new content so far.
• 2007 lines of code so far.
• 466 shots are planned, 466 are posed, and 378 are rendered.
• I'm working on writing Scene 27.
