(Sigh) You guys are gonna be mad. (Patreon)

Early today the main render pass was completed.  And the hair render pass was about 12 hours from being complete.

A lot happened since then.  My hard drive died.  It was the drive holding all of the rendered frames as well as other files for the project.  As my drive gasped it's last breaths I managed to salvage nearly half of the main render pass, the hair pass, and the other important files for the project.

But this set me way back on rendering.  Now I gotta render the 2nd half of the main render pass all bloody over again!!!!!  I also lost a bunch of other stuff unrelated to the project.

I'm so sorry.  It could have been much worse.  I'm pretty good about storing backups, but this was too new to be backed up for my usual habits in that area.  I thought this was almost in your hands.  What cruel timing. :(
