Progress 08.02.2021 (Patreon)

That was productive weekend for writing, and for rendering as well. I somehow managed to get ahead of my internal schedule.

So how is it going actually? Pretty decently if we are being honest, as I said rendering is bit ahead of schedule. And that translates to that there is 2 scenes left to render, image wise somewhere around 100 renders left, give or take 20 as one the remaining scenes is bit harder to estimate.

As for writing, day 22 is finished, and today I'm taking a break from writing for my mental health sake. Tomorrow I will start the day 23, assuming there are no issues that needs my attention.

Just to give bit perspective, to get everything for my liking for this render took about 3 hours. Set building, lightning, effect testing, how things react with the water (reflections). Then needed to think what color's works the best, how to light the characters so that they are highlighted and what is the color of that light. The set itself, while easy to do takes long time in itself as every prop needs to be manually put in place, even in those places what you can't directly see as they cast reflections and shadows as well. 

Was it worth it? I can't talk for anyone else but for myself, yes it was worth it.
