Dev update #149 (Patreon)

Hi!
I've just finished two days of rendering, and I have to say, I'm shocked— the rendering speed is INSANE! My old 3090 must have been at its durability limit because the difference is just unbelievable. Not only is the speed out of this world, but the temperatures are ultra low, which means these cards should last a lot longer.

And that's not all. I upgraded from a Threadripper 1950x to a Threadripper 7970x, and again, the difference is night and day. Saving the scene as well as uploading it to the render queue takes only a few seconds now. Not to mention posing high poly characters! It's all coming together quite nicely and I couldn't be more excited about Episode 5_1!
The next big test will be simulation speed in a few weeks, and I can't wait to see the results!

For now, the plan is to keep rendering, writing, and coding for the next couple of weeks. The animation workflow remains the same—I’ll still be rendering in the cloud because it's too damn efficient.

I'm super motivated and excited to pose and render more images! First previews will start next week after some color grading. Plus, keep an eye out for the May Special Render poll in the next few days.

Thank you all for your support and patience!

Back to work I go!

Take care!
