The Gang's All Here (Patreon)

So I recently finished up the process of upgrading my PC for this whole rendering thing. New graphics card, new cpu, the whole shebang. One of the first things I upgraded was the amount of ram I have, but as I was getting the last few tidbits I thought to myself "Eh, it ain't that expensive, toss in some more!" so I did. That came in today so I got it all installed and wanted to give it a test drive, see how much I could get away with now.

Turns out, if I do a little bit of optimization of the hair particles, I can get every single character I've made for myself so far in one render all at once. :D With room to spare, actually. I could probably cram 3-5 more fuzzy critters in here. Couldn't resonably make an animation with this many characters, since this one frame took 45 minutes to render, but still it was a fun test, hah. Should never have any problems making pretty much anything I want going forward, which was the goal.

Now I just need to get down to the nitty gritty of making some serious filth.

Anyway, as stated, this was just a 'quick' test- the poses were slapped together, I figured anything was better than just t-poses. They don't necessarily fit the characters or even make sense. Some of the characters were made in older versions of blender and have broken bits- the bluejay's crest for example. Didn't have time to fix all that today and didn't seem necessary for a test. So this isn't really any kind of polished finished picture, lots of glitches and problems, but I could -do- it and that's the main thing. Thought y'all might find it neat!
