Dragons thing almost done rendering
🕑 Added 2023-04-02 22:05:07 +0000 UTCI've been rendering and adding sound to this animation, though for some reason my graphics card keeps making the screen go black/restarting my computer at the parts in the attachment that aren't rendered. It'll go one or two frames then stop (or not even finish rendering a frame before it stops working >_>)
I don't know what it is, it could be a bunch of things but it doesn't seem to be the drivers. Could be hardware, could be software, could be rendering at 1080p with the volumetrics in the fluid (that really adds a lot to render times, when a lot of volume is in view...) I'll keep on trying to get everything rendered though.
But I'm extremely happy with how this animation has shaped up. I think this is my best work yet!
I also *might* add some volumetrics to this, I've been experimenting with adding volumetrics from Eevee into Cycles renders (through compositing). I did a test by rendering out the volume pass, blurring it a bit and mixing it with the base render:
It turned out pretty good! I started a quick animation (~400 frames) of the smaller dragon squirting c[u][m] out as if we're looking up from hole in the ground or something. Might polish it up and simulate the fluids for it all, since it should be simpler/easier to render with just one character and not too much going on in the background besides some rocks, maybe some mountains or something.
I've attached the WIP of the two dragons animation (with sound, it's almost final but I might tweak some stuff here and there). Also the quick test of the cycles render with eevee volumes.
Btw both songs in these are from audio jungle:

(may/may not use the heavy metal one so I haven't licensed it yet which is why in the video you can hear "audio jungle" I just love the juxtaposition of this generic, over the top rock music with dragon bepis)

Looking foward to it :)
