It's not your fault, it's the fault of that damn inclusive, gender neutral language
Fuck his pussy.

You are correct that using the plural form is bad grammar when identifying a singular person. The proper way to refer to the singular of unknown gender is to use a proper pronoun (a person's name or title). If we are referring to L&P (without knowing gender) we might say, "L&P's renders are of high quality!" To say, "their renders are of high quality" is an example of lazy expression that has (unfortunately) become widely accepted. The reason for this is because most all people are lazy when they feel they can afford to be.
To answer your question directly...the proper way to use they or them when referring to the singular is when quoting dialogue of someone who uses lazy expression.

I understand he had already sold the old video cards, so he was kind of stuck until he bought 4 new ones.
Rendering's not the problem. I guess it never was.
And I guess he still had to buy them, for Iray preview, big scenes. And once you buy them, why not use them?

He didn't go into too many details about reversing the process and work with his old GFXs. His explanation was more about troubleshooting and issues with the high-end GFXs. He replaced GFXs with other high-end GFX until he found the compatible ones that worked with DAZ. To me, the ideal would have been reversing the rig back to the original GFX and work on building another rig with the high-end GFX so he didn't have downtime. I don't know why he didn't build a second rig in the first place. Also, I think he sold the old GFXs to help offset the cost of the new ones.
His only communication to me about the render farm idea was that he looked into it, and it wasn't going to work for him. I have no clue why it wouldn't work for him, but that's what he told me. I can only assume he didn't want to risk his CS/Images to fall into someone else's hands.

Dude, I think I already explained this like a million times! It's because I never render scenes in a row like others do! Every single render I adjust before pressing the render button! Only the lighting has already different adjustments for every camera perspective! Plus I frequently find mistakes during rendering which would make rendering in a row and a render farm completely senseless for me. Plus, you see that created scenes and rendered scenes walk almost hand in hand during the development process. You should understand that I cannot render more than I've created, right? So, you're diggin in the wrong area!
I think he shoots 4-5 renders for the same scene. Like a real director.
Word on the street is Sophia's getting a little tired of L&P. That he's pretentious, that he's despotic. Sophia says he's complicated to work with. Gossip.

Am I? They were looking for the answer and now you just provided it to them. So now they heard it from you directly.
viper6 must have some kind of farm render business. Every couple of days he comes up with this idea
I think he wants to play the game before everyone else. Means that beta thing was real

I don't know anything about game development so I would like to ask you. Would just creating scenes first with the necessary precautions and then rendering them not work for you. You could really skyrocket your speed if you could look into trying to make it happen.
This present working style does constrain your output I feel.

Son of a, this forum getting more interesting day by day. When there's nothing more to gossip about, work ethic and the quantity of images had been dissected, 'tis time for grammar lessons.
Knowing from the personal experience, English-speaking folks tend not to learn other languages, as it has become the lingua franca nowadays. So, why bother while others had to adjust to you and not the other way around. There're plenty of exceptions which only highlights this fact. I could be wrong, but moralizing on this subject is usually comes from those, who just can't express themselves in foreign languages, at least not on a sufficient level.
In my native idiom I'm making mistakes occasionally, for sure committing a pile of them in others. Noting mistakes is fine, but it's like seeing a speck in one's eye, forgetting about the log in your own.

Wot are you doing here, Herr Game Developer? The audience is raving, sort of demanding v0.130 in last month, and we've missed the station already. Chop-chop, stop browsing this stupid thread, 42 pages of Word won't translate themselves.

Getting help doesn't work for you.
Using a render farm won't work for you.
Using pre-rendered set pieces won't work for you.
Creating a plan/storyboard before you begin rendering won't work for you.
etc, etc, etc.
Between all of the baseless complaints in this thread, I have seen good suggestions that have worked for other devs. And every single time they don't work for you. Have you ever stopped to ask "why"? Why is it that you can't find someone who has the skills necessary to help you? Why is it that you don't develop your game in a way that would make a render farm useful? Why is it that pre-rendered environments/poses can't be used when other great games use them to save time? Why is it that you can't make a plan for how many renders you'll need until you're into the rendering process itself?
Could it be that maybe, just maybe, your development process is inefficient? Otherwise it just sounds like you're too stubborn to change.

I'm very pleased that it worked for others.
Say I don't mean to be rude, but are you a supporter or a pirate? I find their statements quite rude and if they are not a supporter they are presumptuous. You are expressing your opinion here, but I can only hear the anger and frustration that L&P simply does not want to listen to you. You want more, that's understandable, but you won't get anything this way! I think it's starting to feel as satisfying for some here to complain about the development process as it is to complain about playing the game ...
