There is a possibility the third system could improve things. I’ll happily be wrong.About the remaining animations duration, my guess would be an average of less than 4s each.
My reasons for that are that all those animations left are from lewd scenes, which always were mostly short (75% of ep9 animations had less than 4s)
Also, DPC said that some animations from the queue would be merged to a single one, which means those should be even smaller.
So, that still leaves us with 16320 frames to render. If we use his render speed from his vacation (4330 renders in 2 weeks) that would mean it would take 52 days to render all those frames.
However, that was before his hardware update. From what I looked online, in DAZ3d a 4090 is roughly 70 to 80% percent faster than a 3090.
If that is the case, the remaining time goes to 30 days, a much better result that would place the update in mid november.
I sure hope I'm right this time...
52 days takes us to the week between 17th and 24th November, Which would probably mean 1st December release.
While the 70-80% improvement might be great. It hasn’t translated into a noticeable increase in animation production this cycle and that’s because DPC in all his ‘wisdumb‘ decided to double his animation work load with the 60 fps increase.
We can see that 2 systems on the 4090s were making around 6.5 a week. So presuming the third system was working on statics and has now been upgraded, it could add 3.25. So 9.75 a week. That still takes you to November 10th plus beta testing. 17th November is about as optimistic as I can be, but I’d happily be wrong.
The main frustration is one way or another it’s going to of taken 11-12 months. Which is 6-10 weeks longer than the last episode. Which was already a big increase on the one before that. The 4090 system upgrades should have been about bringing production back into a sensible time frame, rather than an animation upgrade that 95% of the audience won’t even notice.
We presume.Well, at least DPC isnt old yet.
