Mind Drop #25 (07/29/2021) (Patreon)

Yo!
It's been a weird week and today was supposed to be the day for the monthly render set but I've had a bit of an unfortunate situation play out. I mentioned a few weeks back that I had a leak in my main PC's water-cooling loop and my 2nd 3090 got soaked. I was able to troubleshoot and get things working but it was only a temporary fix as now the bottom card is likely dead.
Hope isn't completely dead for it as I still have some things to try but it's not looking good. But anyway, my main machine is taken apart at the moment and I still had around 6 renders to make for the set.
So the set will probably be out either tomorrow or Saturday but in its place is the mind drop!😁 

IMPORTANT:

I do not plan on pausing pledges this month.  It feels pretty taboo for me not to pause when I don't have a release but I've mentioned it many times that I'm trying something new with the update schedule. So please, update your pledges accordingly to make sure you're not paying for something that you do not currently want.

Game / Dev related stuff:

- With the issue with the GPU I've been thinking it's time to beef up my older machine. I think I'm done with water-cooling for the moment. I needed it when I was in the tiny room but now that heat isn't an issue I can just run them with the air coolers.

- I've been putting a pretty significant amount of my free time into learning Blender, still super new but learning quickly 😁

- Character sheets will be updated very soon

Renders made this prior week:

New - 57 renders and 1 animation
Week 1 redo - 63 renders and 0 animations
(Hasn't been a full week since the last mind drop and have also been dealing with the dead GPU so productivity took a bit of a dip this week but I still managed to hit my daily goal of 20 renders)
(I may also start tracking some of my progress in blender in these)

Personal related stuff:

- I'm mostly out of the funk I mentioned I was in last week. So Q&A post very soon. (If you have any last second questions for it, feel free to ask!)

- Pretty boring week full of the usual stuff. So not much to say in that regard. 😊
Just a whole bunch of rendering and watching stuff on blender and when I'm not doing that I've just been chillin' with family.


So yeah, that's all I have to share with you guys this week.
Some of the more fun stuff starts soon so I'm looking forward to that.
Once again, thank you all for everything. I live such a lucky and fulfilling life where I'm able to share my own creation with you all. I don't take a single bit of it for granted and I'm so thankful for each and every single one of you. I hope to keep improving and making you guys proud. 😁
Love you guys <3
