Progress w5 / May (Patreon)

So past couple of days were a bit wild, first the good news is I found a great blender addon that is literally HALVING my render times, that's absolutely insane. If you are interested, it's this one:

So I was really happy with my new sub 2 minute renders, when suddenly, my render PC shut off and I couldn't turn it back on. It turns out one of the power supplies crapped out. I am not sure if it's related to the new addon, I can't imagine it having that effect, however the timing is a bit curious...

Anyway, today I bought a new PSU, but as soon as I started the render, the new PSU just shuts off. It's a 1000W Corsair PSU and all it's powering is 3x980 ti which I figured should be enough headroom, but I guess not?

So tomorrow I will be returning it and picking up a 1300W one, hopefully that will finally work out...

Right now I am rendering out the last angles using one PSU running two cards, so fingers crossed I won't get any more issues.
