Not super happy with the render result, textures and eyes especially have some flicker that I couldn't remove, I know they are related to ue4's raytracing and virtual textures but that didn't help me find a way to fix it.
I also discovered that alembic geometry caches, the format used to transfer characters from 3d software to engine, only supports 1 uv set which is a problem and why I couldn't use wetmaps for this one. Another extra annoying issue I found is one where all moving trees/foliage had dublicate static "ghosts" appear when I used raytracing for translucency, which was necessary for at least decent looking fluid. You can see this during the last two shots, the big tree behind wyverns has dublicate branches and some of the tall grass is moving while others are completely static. There were some options to get rid of this but it made the scene super slow and those options didn't exist for foliage painted on terrain.
Due to all the issues I discovered while rendering this + to the inherit lacks of a game engine I may just go back to regular render engine. If render times get unbearable then one thing I can do is lower render resolution from 1080p to 720p, but that would be the last option as having access to that high res is tier 2 perk and people are paying for it.

Thanks for letting me know, my future animations will have a small file size versions of them available to avoid this type of issue.

Problem persisted, but I was able to work around it by downloading the vid from google drive and saving it in my notes (I have an I-phone so it’s probably just a mobile thing)

I tried both links in different browsers and they did work for me, let me know if that problem persist or if it was just one-off thing
Casey Brassard
Hmm, google drive and mega.nz say the file is too large to download

Last but not least I want to add that 1080p is not neceisary to my mind but I know that it´s very important for other guys

I knew it. For me this is your best animation. It turns out so fcking awesome! The intro was amazing. I really love it how you coming up with new ideas every time. I hope you finally get used to these models, because of dropping them would be really sad of me. Idk why you are so harsh with yourself. The animation is lit asf and for me as an amateur i dont see big issues in the animation. Really looking forward for your next one with Keie and the new model probably. Dont be so hard to yourself and take your time you need. There are really not many animators on the level you are at and like I said you are my favourite one of them! Keep going <3

“Download quota exceeded for this file, so you can't download it at this time.” First time I’ve ever seen that—I didn’t know Google Drive had such limits. I’ll keep trying of course.
