Blender diary #2

Hello

From now on I will call it "Blender diary"

Learning a 3D software is lonely and quite stressful. (Thank god I have a blender buddy.)

By doing these diaries I am kinda sharing my thoughts, problems, and achievements with you guys t...

Blender Progress #1

 

Hello,

As I told you guys in an earlier post, I had to drop Octane because of it's buggy nature and the fact that it will never get fixed.  And I also said that Octane was just a stepping stone to Blender

I dedicate 1-3 hours...

Chapter 6 - Release date.

Hello,

The last 2 weeks were just a blur due to almost no sleep and my huge focus on finishing up the update. 

 Sadly,  real-life did throw some personal obstacles at me which did put me a little off and are still taking a toll on me.

I tested and polished the complete update, I re-rendered aro...

Status .6 - Gallery - Bonus scene

Hello,


So, the cinematic is almost done. The last big part was finished overnight. Now only 3 small chunks that I can probably finish today/tomorrow.

I am already testing and polishing .6 to make sure it runs on a rudimentary level for the testers. 

The new Update has already been proofread. (Once).

Chapter 6 status - Octane - New PC status - New Release schedule - Previews

Hello,

2 days ago I finished a cinematic with 1000 renders (Animations) in it.
This was a last-minute added cinematic that wasn't planned but it popped into my head and I need training anyways.

It is 1 minute long and only visible if you spent the night with Katie on the Camping trip and ...

A small Investment was made.

Good day!

Corona is currently abusing the world and this leads to Nvidia, delaying their new GPU release.

My planned investment of 4x 3080Ti's + Threadripper 3970x will be delayed. 

Most likely to next year because I have to wait for the custom 3080Ti's.

Hello,
*sigh*  Update is still not done. 

The last 2min + Cinematic is taking forever.   This cinematic alone has more renders than many games have in an entire update. (Cutscene has around 620 renders in animation and still renders.)

Good evening.


First of all. - I won't make this month's release. 

Even though I am working for more than 12 hours a day on WiAB since January, it's not done yet. 

It's a hardware thing. My PC just can't render faster, It's physically impossible.

Dana Poll!

 Good night from the stormy Germany.


Some people also criticized the "New Dana" I made... and the more I looked at her, the more I started to hate her, too.  

It took me hours to find a suitable hair that was tweakable and could be animated.


It's poll time and I'll let you guys decide.&nb...

Hello!

After the last update, people criticized that Miru didn't look Asian enough.


How dar- and I totally agree. For some reason, she did appear as "enough Asian" to me. But I did take a closer look.
