Day 24


It's about 12 midnight now so I figured I might as well get ready today's post.

Here's a batch render sneak preview, my flipbook test render. No batch render for now, gotta wait till I get back to the office later in the morning to collect the sequence I left to batch render overnight.

It's about 2.10pm in Santa Monica now.

Things are pretty hectic for me.

All positive attitude aside, I have absolutely no bloody idea where to start.

With a usual positive attitude however I'll tell myself all the project issues I'm facing now will be solved soon.

Well it HAS TO BE SOLVED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK!!!

Anyway here are a couple of issues I've found in the latest batch render test 3:

1) Raytrace shadows still didn't have motion blur.

2) Dust sprites still not showing up from the back of the convoy.

3) Finalization of apache and camera animation still uncertain.

With that, I've currently started another batch render with these solutions...

Solutions:

1) Raytrace motion blur checked and enabled in mantra render node.

2) Sprites for convoy dust particles test rendered and fixed.

3) Animation still uncertain, I'll discuss this issue with Steven and Mr Ari. I'll get animation advice from Evan too.

Alright so I'm gonna approach Steven and Mr Ari regarding my final camera and animation.

Also I can't render out the composited png sequence from after effects because apparently there's something wrong with my png sequence even though I don't see any problem when viewing the frames individually!
