Posing is still ongoing. I reached shot #121.
I have lost a lot of time because of a stupid mistake. I loaded an asset (Jack's shorts) with the wrong shaders (rsl instead of mdl) and started posing with it. I didn't notice it until 30 shots later, when Jack's underwear started shining like oiled latex in a random preview. I couldn't see it before because reflections take time to resolve, and when I preview a shot, I usually don't give it enough time to properly render. As always, editing the shots took a tremendous amount of time, solely because of the excruciatingly long loading times that come with the multiple-character scenes. I wasted almost an afternoon on that, but Jack's pants finally ceased shining.
I also made a mistake when cutting the scene. Apparently, basic arithmetic is incredibly hard, to the point that I counted 20 shots more than I actually planned. The correct count is 226 shots planned for scene 32. However, I am considering adding a few more shots in some strategic places. I'll see when I'll get there.
No problems on the rendering front. Shot #82 has been rendered. We are progressing steadily.
