And things were going so well! Grrr. I built an animation that should have taken 8 hours to render, so I set it to render overnight while I slept. Somehow, 8 hours doubled to 16. And somewhere along the way, I’d made a small temporary change to the camera settings and forgot to set it back before leaving it for the night.

You should know that when an animation is rendering like this, it takes most of my GPU and a good chunk of my CPU capacity, leaving me at most the ability to do some web surfing or write emails. Sigh.

So, the next day I “fixed” the issue, waited until the end of the day, and set it to render again. Guess what happened? Another camera setting got changed along with my “fix” which rendered (sic) the render useless. Again. Third time’s the charm?

I genuinely despise Daz Studio sometimes.

I’ve just finished the third scene out of nine (probably the second longest in the chapter). This puts me a little behind schedule, but I should be able to make some of that time back with some of the shorter scenes. I’m still not far enough along to be setting dates, but I should be by the time I finish the next scene.

A couple of new images from these past two weeks:
