A Little Update
Greetings you kind folk you,
I wanted to provide a little update about progress towards Life Changers Three. Firstly, I'm making this update because, as you might have noticed, I like being transparent and I like to provide as quality an experience as possible for anyone paying money to be a part of this.
Since January, I have been partaking in a contest on Renderhub some of you may be aware of called the Dangerous Curves Contest (if you want to see what I made, feel free to check it out here: https://www.renderhub.com/gallery/86876/nature-s-ire) and this has taken a lot of my time from the animation. I did this with the hopes of getting some prize money to help with this very endeavor.
The reality of running a virtual GPU is that it's more than just renting out a pod. In order to transfer my current workflow over to a virtual machine, it requires a cloud storage (more money) and the ability to learn some basic Python line commands, preferably on Jupyter, which I would need to learn how to do (more time; am working on this during downtime). Although this will drastically decrease the amount of time I spend on rendering, it will still take more time to get this started and at present I don't think I'm going to implement this for this animation.
Now, in my personal life, I had all of my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday the 11th, and then I came down with COVID-19 the day after. Yesterday was the first day I felt more than 50% capacity. However, I have not let this deter me from working on my animation and I have been continuously working on it as much as I can in between working on the contest entry as well. The only reasons I'm stating this is because I am really happy to say I'm back on my flow and will most likely have some spoilers for y'all soon.
Thanks for sticking it out with me everyone, you are beautiful people!
