Status update Episode 12

Happy Friday, everyone.
This week I've been working on different things. I started by completing the remaining renders for the big scene I worked on last week. After that, I started work on another even bigger scene.
I prepared all the characters in the scene and created the needed environments. This took me quite a while, but the environments ended up great, and the 26 characters were dressed and ready to be posed. I continued by posing static renders for the scene, and I'm currently 33% through it. While it is a big scene, it is going faster than expected to pose it compared to the scene I worked on previously.
Aside from this, I've been doing plenty of computer maintenance this week. I've upgraded/replaced several render slaves. I'm currently installing my files and software on the last PC that I'm upgrading. The upgrade process went well overall, with some minor issues along the way.
After I'm done with the upgrades, I will wait a bit and evaluate how well the systems are performing, how much power they are collectively consuming, and if I need to improve my rigs further. I'm very happy with the render speed I'm seeing with the newest render slaves and also with the energy efficiency (If the GPU sucks with that, it gets too hot indoors and it requires more external cooling, which further increases power consumption. I could talk a while about this, but won't bore you with the details.)
I have 200+ static renders and 30 animations in the render queue. The animation queue is depleting while I work on static renders, but I still have some time before I need to refill it. I'll spend that time working on static renders as I have a good flow right now.
Have a nice weekend

2025-10-16 12:48:40 +0000 UTCI feel like this episode will be jam-packed with exciting content and will be very ambitious overall. I'm very eager to play it already! :D I'm glad the technical part of your work is advancing and that your computers are steadily being upgraded. As the episodes become longer, having more effective hardware is very welcome and will allow to at least compensate for it. We always find your updates fascinating, so don't hesitate to talk about cooling next time! Even my own computer generates quite a lot of heat, so I imagine that it must quite considerable when you several computers working hard in the same room. Keep up the good work!
