OK we have some good growth this update. Took me a bit to setup... this is the first time I am animating 4 characters at one time. I was hoping to have this wrapped up by now, but I don't want to rush this scene....
Jake and his new buddy got multiple doses of GrowthMaxxx and are in the zone. Jake was ahead, but his buddy made a big push. Max couldn't be more delighted. I will work on the audio this week. I've been going back and forth between having Jake continue to narrate or moving over to do it from Max's perspective. I'm leaning towards the latter.
On a technical note, these renders were taking 2 minutes and 40 seconds per frame. It was making it hard to get more than 5 seconds of new material done a day... so I decided to try to optimize things a bit... I got it down to 1 minute 30 seconds per frame so I should be able to pump out this last bit of the video quicker.
