Still going strong on the render marathon.

I had a slight setback this week when I looked through a completed scene and found it to be very "Hollywood movie" inspired, and because of that equally unrealistic. So I contacted a doctor at my local hospital, explained my situation, and that I was writing a story and needed advice. He was very forthcoming and we met up a few days later for a talk where I got some good pointers of how things really work. Incidentally, during our talk it surfaced that this doctor had been studying my daughters case post mortem. Life has a way of throwing you surprises.

Anyway, our talk led to me re-rendering the before mentioned scene. Even so, numbers are decent for this week. We're now at 724 story renders (not counting the re-renders), and animations at 4,486 like last week. I still have a few scenes to do before I'll be diving head first into the animation heavy weeks, which pairs up nicely with me having to catch up on the Renpy stuff.

I hope you had a productive week as well. Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.
