villekroger

Diriumm and I finally finished our time lapse film from the icy shores of the Barents and Norwegian seas. Upping the ante for the next one will probably be done with aerial footage, dolly shots and maybe even an editing phase that won't last years.

It appears it didn't take Fallout to distract me.
Have a generation ship.

Patience. As long as I'm not buying something shiny, I'm generally pretty good at it.

When it comes to publishing stuff, however, all bets are off, and that's why I'm currently tweaking the snow and cloud coverage for An interlude v2. Somewhat ironically, those were the main two things I was disappointed in the Saraswati observatory, and consequently the reason I made the whole update-sequel-thing in the first place.

The upside of being able to render during weekends alone is, though, that I have more than enough time to make sure there won't be a need for v3. If I can resist the urge to install Fallout.



_{And there was snow. And fluffiness. Next up: fixing everything that broke due to the former.}

I can't help grinning like that cat in that movie when GI prepasses alone don't take centuries. Could get used to this.

The dashing knight in shining armour parks his horse outside the building, kicks in the door and exclaims that it's time I got what's coming to me. Hold on... is that an Intel Inside sticker on his chestplate? Could it be? He pulls out a small box from his satchel... it couldn't, could it? Yes, it in fact could! An i7!

Then, reality, and upgrading everything else to actually run the bloody thing. At this stage I'm probably broke, but I dare not check my bank balance, so we'll never know, will we? And with these render times, who gives a crap? It's just that reading the small graph the performance gadget is printing out was easier when there wasn't 8 cores worth of data on it (Yay for hyperthreading, nevertheless!).
