Back from my work trip, and today is the first of 3 render days. 3-4 renders before starting on scene 4, which is also substantial, and it leads directly into a split 5 or 6 path. Should be fun. 3 new locations involved. 1 exterior which is much less work to set up, because most of the exteriors I own are pretty timeless and require little lighting or rearranging. Interiors generally requires a fair deal of lighting, and at least some prop work.

While I was away, I mostly cleaned up some coding stuff. I had a couple of spots where I wanted a little zoom in. Caught one background missing and fixed some spelling. The one thing I'm very happy with was the fact that I added 6 new pieces of music. 2 specific to environment and 4 that gets looped in with the excising songs. I really wanted a Paint it Black (Rolling Stones) type song for the war flashbacks, but that doesn't look like it will happen. I found another song that might work. I'm also looking to add some sound effects. Mostly for sex scenes, and especially for speakeasy, where the audio is a que for the visuals. I'm also looking to create some depth for the war flashbacks in general terms (sound wise). I don't know that there will ever be a proper sound effects track. But used correctly I think it can add dimension to the story telling.

I always like to post a sample image from my big render days, but I will wait until I get to the next scene, since I've already posted a couple from scene 3. At which point I will mention render count as well. I know most of you don't care about that...but it makes me feel good:-)
