It shouldn't take so long going forward:

Hi!
Quick tech update! After a few delays, my new PC is finally here! Currently, I'm in the process of installing all the necessary software. I've encountered a few complications with version compatibility, but nothing too major (so far). I'm currently transferring terabytes of Cybernetic Seduction data. All this should take no longer than 2 days.
I'm really excited to test the rendering speed once everything is set up. Preliminary tests show that GPU temperatures won't exceed 65°C, which is a huge improvement from my previous setup where temps soared up to 85°C. This new machine is a beast! I ran a Cinebench test and got a score of 63,000 points. Unfortunately, I didn't perform this test on my old machine, and I wish I had for comparison.
So, it’s all about the technical setup right now, but once this is done, I'll finally start rendering and focusing on Season 2. Stay tuned!
Take care!

Hi!
I've just finished two days of rendering, and I have to say, I'm shocked— the rendering speed is INSANE! My old 3090 must have been at its durability limit because the difference is just unbelievable. Not only is the speed out of this world, but the temperatures are ultra low, which means these cards should last a lot longer.
And that's not all. I upgraded from a Threadripper 1950x to a Threadripper 7970x, and again, the difference is night and day. Saving the scene as well as uploading it to the render queue takes only a few seconds now. Not to mention posing high poly characters! It's all coming together quite nicely and I couldn't be more excited about Episode 5_1!
The next big test will be simulation speed in a few weeks, and I can't wait to see the results!
For now, the plan is to keep rendering, writing, and coding for the next couple of weeks. The animation workflow remains the same—I’ll still be rendering in the cloud because it's too damn efficient.
I'm super motivated and excited to pose and render more images! First previews will start next week after some color grading. Plus, keep an eye out for the May Special Render poll in the next few days.
Thank you all for your support and patience!
Back to work I go!
Take care!
