Saturday Update - July 4, 2020

Or 4 July 2020 depending on where you live.

Happy Independence day to all Americans, and for everyone else, happy Saturday... eat a cookie.

After my last post things moved quickly. I produced quite a few poses, and rendered them. I then ran into a couple issues. First was dealing with how clothing reacts, and the other was the noise from the computer was starting to affect my hearing.

It really isn't a loud sound, but it is constant. My first response was to put in earplugs, but I tend to be prone to ear infections, so I decided on another solution. I searched online for something I could keep the computer in that would block off some of the sound. I ended up finding an entertainment center tower used that I thought would be perfect, but the picture gave me the impression that it was about waist height. When I picked it up I found out it was halfway between my elbow and shoulder. This also meant that it wouldn't fit where I wanted it to, at least until I moved everything. 

My desk is packed. It has a hutch, so is a bookshelf, and a storage for all things computer. It also has drawers and a filing drawer. Next to that was my printer stand which is also much larger than it needs to be, stores paper, and everything else doing with computers. It also has a filing drawer.  I had to remove everything from both of these, push them apart, and put everything back.

Biggest problem with this was that it took a whole day, and I am still needing to put things back. The benefit is that all of this was cleaned and dusted off, and much better organized. And the new entertainment center not only holds the computer, but adds more storage for this pack rat.

There is a decent amount of room between the computer and the sides of the tower, so I am thinking of getting some noise reducing panels to cut the sound even more. But I can already tell a difference in sound.

This was work, but was also a needed break from posing and rendering. I said it before, I am not great at taking breaks, even with my Pomodoro timer running. But I spent a day without the computer up, and then spent a day avoiding rendering, but at the end of the day I set up another scene. Then next day was another slow day as I rendered it while out visiting family. Got back and found a little issue, and spent a couple hours fixing it, while not re-rendering the whole scene. (Combination of rendering what I needed, cutting out everything I didn't, and then putting it all together with Photoshop.)

BTW I will be getting images up here. Nudes will only be posted for  Subscribers. Soon there will be renders that will appear nowhere, but in the Subscriber only posts.
