Development update
Its been a pretty painful week of rendering. I ordered the ram on Monday and even paid for express delivery and they still delayed it. At the same time I didn't want to scale everything down until I at least got the opportunity to test whether it gets better with more ram or not.
Still, even though it was a struggle, I managed to get some progress in. I finished the rest of the morning variations as well as a decent bit of the first Julia scene. This one however is only slightly less bad to render as the two neighborhood maps are of a comparable burden for my PC. The only saving grace here is that there's no reflective water prop which makes crashes slightly less frequent. One thing I couldn't render at all where a whole bunch of animations. I do have all the motions saved though, so as soon as the ram comes in I should be able to spend a day or so just recording those.
Anyway, there isn't really that much to talk about, the only thing that comes to mind is me whining about crashes and that's probably not all that interesting to you. I'm kind of just putting all my hope into the ram sticks but I'm actually pretty optimistic that they will fix everything as I had the exact same issue back when I made the gym map and back then it was actually a huge improvement not only in terms of preventing crashes. Now I'm just hoping that the damn deliver actually arrives tomorrow.
