Hi guys,
As you know, this week I worked on the volleyball mini-game, which was finished by Tuesday, so since then I've been helping Lovorko on the animation side. Things are progressing really well, and next week we'll probably be done posing all the animations, which means after that it's just testing and rendering.
However (this has kind of become a tradition at this point) in the last weeks of development for an episode, my machines run 24/7 at full power, and one of them broke again. So I'm down to one machine until I get the component back from warranty, which isn't ideal. The rendering might take a bit longer than usual, but at least the better machine is still working. There are still a lot of animations to render, but I'm getting through 2-3 per day, which is decent.
Once we're done posing the animations, I'll focus on testing. So the next episode is really close. I can't give you a date, since it's hard to estimate how long each animation will take to render and I don't want to put a date just to be safe and then in case I finish early I just wait for the date to come, but it's close. As soon as the last animation is done rendering, it'll be just a matter of hours before release.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Bests,Jason
Looks like Charlotte is going to be sleeping in this room tonight. Or at least, that's what she saysThere won't be a 4K render today, because I'm not going to pause the animations just to render a 4K image.
