What happens at 100 images? (Patreon)
Content
Ello, folks. I thought I'd do a quick post to tell you guys what I'm planning to do when an image set crosses that line into 100 images.
I have 3 work folders. One is called "Ongoing" which is where all my sets in circulation are stored. This is for projects that are all set up and ready to be added to. The folder is arranged by "date modified" so that I can draw the file from the top each morning, add to it, save it, and then it goes to the bottom of the list. That's how I order what I'm working on. - Sometimes I get an itchy finger and just have to grab something mid-queue, but most of the time I'm drawing from the top.
My second folder is the "Prep" folder. This is for projects that aren't in circulation yet. Maybe they're in the midst of being set up, or maybe I'm still ironing out the scenario, need to buy some assets for (for example, Emily's new sets are in this folder right now) - It's arranged by date modified too, so they revolved as I work on them, and when they're ready for circulation - they get moved to the ongoing folder.
The final folder is currently unused - it's the 'Hundred' Folder. The plan right now, is that when a set passes 100 images, it will be moved to the Hundred folder and go on hiatus while I slowly re-render it in Iray, a more advanced rendering engine. Once this is finished, it will be released to my store and sent out to current Patrons via DM (not to the Vault). - After this release, the file will then be added back to the Ongoing folder, putting it back into circulation until it passes it's next hundred, which will be part 2, part 3 and so on.
Images sets will have a lot of pressure to make the fight look complete around the 100th frame for this purpose. That way, no matter if it ever finishes, it will always be reviewable as complete.
Hope that's clear! - I'm loving doing things like this, and I hope you're enjoying it too!
Always more to come, take care!
