Law School - Episode 2 - Progress update #3
Hello everyone,
Last week, my workload was relatively stable, which allowed me to make solid progress. As a result, I took the entire weekend off to recharge and now feel refreshed for the final three days of work before I head to France for a five-day break.
I managed to complete the fourth scene just in time today and since my flight is late Wednesday at night, I plan to spend the next two days finishing up the fifth scene. It will include a LEWD scene, but I'll focus on the "regular part" of the scene first and postpone the LEWD content, as I'm considering hiring a 3D animator for this episode.
For episode one, I collaborated with someone, but now I'm aiming to significantly enhance the animation quality. I'm currently on the lookout for an animator who can bring my vision to life—I'm confident that we will achieve great things if I find the right person.
Additionally, I'll be dedicating time while I'm away (armed with my laptop) to write the next upcoming scenes. Upon my return next Tuesday, I'll dive back into 3D work, which excites me given the character of the scenes, even though I won't spoil the surprise. I've also been refining the lighting in my scenes like I previously said, which, although time-consuming, has paid off by making them look much more realistic. However, these adjustments have also increased my render times from about 20-25 minutes per image to 40-60 minutes. Despite this, I'm committed to this quality improvement, even though it now limits me to about 20 renders per day, or around 150 per week—and don't even start me on animations. But as always, I'll find a way to make it work.
Let’s look at some numbers from last week:
- 276 story statics
- 7 animations
- 6 scenes fully written
I spent a bit more time on statics this week and worked only five days, which explains why I didn’t reach 100 renders. However, I did manage to create 5 animations, balancing out my output.
That’s the update for last week. I'm looking forward to my upcoming break—it’s probably my last holiday before September.
I’ll catch up with more soon. Have a great week ahead!
