Hello,
So, welcome to a new Bibi Log.
As the name suggests, it's a Bibi (Baby) log and it will be pretty small and to the point.
I'm currently 600/2250 images into Postwork.
But I must also admit that I wasn't focused on Postwork yet... As I'm currently handling the end cinematic.
And the End cinematic is quite heavy on the Vram.
And Lightroom is some sort of Drama Queen that tends to slurp up as much Vram as it can.
So I can't really do postwork while rendering without risking a CPU fallback in Daz. (When the Vram runs out and it drops back to CPU.)
Even though I have two 3090s in the Workstation, a 120 frame animation takes up to 14 hours... So there's still a lot of room for speed improvements.
The End Cinematic is almost finished. It's around 85% done and 1:07min long.
So an average length.
After the end cinematic I only need to finish a cinematic from earlier in the Update. It's also already 80% done and I'll just need to add the last 20%. It's also much easier on the Vram.
In other news...
As many know, with the Steam release, I will remove a lot of music from the game... I'm currently still in the clear but as soon as certain content is added, I will have to remove the music.
This means that multiple cinematics will pretty much be "useless"... As they're all tailored to the music... This includes all the cinematics in Chapter 4.
Why am I still doing them even though I will have to remove them?
It's about more than just a nice video... I've been envisioning some cinematics for a few years now...
I've been looking forward to them since early 2020... Listening to the songs over and over again, playing the cinematics out in my head... I couldn't wait until we got into the later Chapters and I could finally do them.
Now that many of them will sadly stay nothing but a vision, I will still finish those that I legally can before the nuke.
It makes me unbelievably sad but at least that way I will gain some inner satisfaction by releasing them... Still better than never being able to express my inner vision.
Sadly, some visions will stay unsatisfied but maybe if I become more relevant in the future, I can convince them to go the extra step of contacting the artist for me, and ask them if they have moral concerns.
Maybe some cinematics will be resurrected.
But for some good news now.
I am about to close a deal on some music with a band from the US. Until now everything looks like it'll work out and as soon as the deal is made, I will give you guys some details on the pricing and the music. (Genre: Indie/Rock)
And the second I heard their first song, a nice cinematic started to form in my head...
Some might be gone, some will be gone soon, but new ones will always follow.
And with that
, I'm out.
By the way, I'm aiming for a release this month.
