Getting slapped by the render boss
🕑 Added 2021-06-04 03:26:51 +0000 UTC Quick animated sample
Apologies for the recent absence, I had some health issues persist late April to mid May so I had to take things slow for a bit. I also had a minor distraction with a game involving a towering vampire milf but that is my own fault. Anyways I got a little over two minute video of Widowmaker coming up hopefully by next week. I would have had this out sooner but these render times are so absurd and the final product is still being rendered. I just need to render three more shots in addition to editing so most likely next week going by these render times.
Unfortunately I am going to have to scale back the FPS to 24-30 until I get a better grasp of physics in general because its just eating up way too much time testing multiple settings and rendering them out for final potential playback with 60 fps. I am going to switch it up to smaller videos starting next week so I can have a few things out on a weekly basis and be able to frequently test out more settings and techniques that way the larger productions could be that much better when shot at this frame rate. I still intent to work on the 3-5 minute Final fantasy movie series, however if I hit a roadblock I am going to try to work out the problem using smaller content.
That's all for now, Next week I'll do some smaller animations based on the other options of my last poll(Probably lady Dimitrescu from the RE pick). I want to do some LoZ content as well so after a few other renders I want to animate the princess. I'll be on discord once this animation is finished rendering since I really want to focus on having some more stuff prepared for next week while this video is rendering, Feel free to shoot me a message bellow or via private message. Thanks for your patience and generous support, I hope you have a great week!

May I ask what steps I need to take for access to the discord?

Thanks for the tips and yeah this is one of those cases of trial and error since I wanted to do a cycles render. I am actually rendering each shot separately and piecing them together in PP+AE. The only issue is doing this makes the files size enormous and increasingly laggy as I make more scenes. I plan to switch to eevee for the next couple of longer videos, its like 40~ second renders vs 1.5-2 minute renders. For short loops I'll definitely use cycles from time to time since I still need to find out why lighting sometimes acts sporadically as well as other things.

Glad to see you back, hope you are feeling better. Regarding blender render times, while it's always gonna be a struggle there might be some ways to adjust. Not sure what you settings are, but if you want faster rendering it should be Eevee rather than cycles. The main thing though. Is that while I know you love to make longer content I'd recommend a couple of options to compromise. If you are sticking to one camera angle, staged sequences (in terms of content planning ideally looped). And render each sequence individually, then link them via editing software as that will take less time to export. This will give your CPU & GPU breaks. If you are doing different camera angle shot's, same concept (minus the looping... probably). Render them separately, piece them together in something like premier or w/e and export it as a whole. It'll save you ridiculously long wait time's, and all fuck if something goes wrong with the render... a least you don't have several days to do it all over again, just a couple. Hope this advice helps and saves you some frustration.
