Let's talk - May

This just a little post with ramblings and happenings from me, if you're not interested in reading, this post will provide no major updates or anything, simply some things that have been going on, so you can safely skip it!

So, as usual time is flying by with me getting a fraction done of what I'd like to get done. But alas, such is life. Recently my PC has been having technical issues which I initially ascribed to my graphics card. However, eventually this culminated in one of my hard drives going corrupt till the point that even having it plugged in would no longer allow me to start my PC.

Thankfully I've managed to avoid it stopping or affecting my production, so far it's mainly a lot of old stuff that has been lost. Though remaking it would be a simple task of re-rendering it. It is currently in repair at a company that can hopefully retrieve the vast majority of it (wonder how they'll respond to seeing muscle girl porn..).

I did have a backup made, but Windows happily went along with backing up corrupted files, and when trying to put back previous backups it couldn't even replace said corrupted files, instead crashing windows explorer every time I attempted to do so. Which is just downright infuriating. I've bought a home NAS system and it is just now wrapping up the backup to a RAID drive which should make my data a lot more secure.

But no use dwelling on nasty things like technological failure! 

One other thing that has slowly been creeping in the back of my mind is my lack of progress and innovation. I'm stuck at the level of what I can create now and I'm struggling to effectively improve any part. There is a level of deeper knowledge of composition, lighting and animation that I'm lacking, and I'm grasping at ways to move past these barriers without succes. I want to create bigger, better and more impressive stuff, but I'm not achieving that and the usual method of just randomly trying to see what works is not enough to move past it. It has even gotten to the point where it's affecting my desire to attempt new things as it's marred by so many failures and often in the end not a satisfactory process to repeat. Often with a huge amount of time and effort consumed.

And that's no good. At all! 

So I definitely won't stop bashing my head against it until I figure it out. What'll come of it we'll see! Either amazing things or absolutely nothing!
