One more day
"Brain! You said no more delays in your last post!"
Trust me, I know and I know how much of an ass I look like right now. The simple job of re-rendering those messed up renders turned into something far more annoying. And I'm curious if anyone out there has any clue what might be happening. But first let me explain the one day delay and a few things.
So the reason I need one more day is because there are a handful of renders that whenever I go to render them my PC will reboot right before the render starts. No BSOD, nothing else just a hard instant reboot. It has happened for larger scenes in the past but I had come to the conclusion that was an issue with me maxing out 64GB of ram. But these scenes in particular are pretty simple and only have three characters in them. There's no reason for them to cause any issue. I've been able to circumvent this on a few of them by entering the iray preview before rendering but it's a hit or miss solution. The only completely hit solution I've found is to save the poses of all the characters and background and load them all in a fresh scene which is way more time consuming than before. I really have no clue what could be causing it. I've tried almost everything like deleting objects to see if they're causing issues, updating drivers, checking windows logs, messing with render settings, reseating ram, messing with windows settings. I've googled every error code I could find in the logs and none of those solutions worked. This has given me one massive headache... it's the final obstacle in the way of the update and of course it has to be a bitch to fix.
I'm going to go on and keep doing the long winded solution, I'll have it all finished by tomorrow. Which I know me saying that might cause some eyes to roll after everything so let me put this out there. If there isn't a day 7 final update by the end of September 29th (EST) then I will pause pledges until January and continue to work. That's how certain I am.
Speaking of pausing I'll almost 100% be pausing this month due to this additional time sink. There's pretty much no way I finish D8p1 by the 30th. So yeah, these delays have been a bitch.
I'm once again super sorry. I know I keep getting everyone's hopes up and I know I'm ruining some people's days and it hurts knowing that but this one was really out of my control. If you have any idea of a potential fix then I'm all ears.
Thanks guys. Love you <3
