Rendering is a bitch
Published on January 21, 2004 By VeXeN In Work Reports


Got in this morning to find one of the rendering boxes had crashed the night before so my render is still going even as I type this.. Lame.

1. fix some minor problems with hands and such being render in weird area's it's the old "max render bug" where mesh seems to like to fly around the screen and set up shop where ever it feels like. After 6 versions they have yet to fix this bug, I predict in version 14 it finally may be.

2. Basically got the Main Intro for Gal Civ 2 going, I got all the parts from the final versions that are pretty much done along with some "Work in progress art" so we can start seeing what this puppy is going to look like with some VC, music and overall polish. So far it looks pretty good I think I finally got the flow going now, even started getting goose bumps near the end of the scene where you see all the evil Drengins boarding.

3. Touched up about 80 frames of animation that had some weird black shadows on the walls, don't really know where they came from, I just hope the other 120 frames that are baking now don't have the same problem, because it was a bitch.

Anyway I am spent, later dawg...
