Quick Extra Update - Rendering times are the reason why the video isn't out yet
AY
I feel obliged to write a quick extra update as a result of the video not being out yet.
The rendering times are quite the bomb this time around.
I've been doing my best to minimize the time the video has to spend rendering without hampering the quality, but it will unfortunately still be a while before I can release it due to the immense time the video will take to finish rendering.
The estimated 31 hours you see up above in the picture?
That's for just a few minutes of footage, while the video in its entirety is just over 50 minutes long.
So, yeah, rendering purgatory has been fully engaged.
I SWEAR, this time, it'll be the last ridiculously long video I am making in at least, like, two years, or something.
I am not allowing us to have this much fun with a script anymore. It is illegal.

My loincloth is bursting with anticipation
50/3 =16.666, 16.666(31 hours) = 516.666, 516.66667/24 = 21.52 days. It may take 21 to 22 days to render. Is my math correct? If so, I can wait a month.
It's better than getting stonewalled for a few months. We have little power on when the content comes out, but at least this way we have some inclination.
What would the cost for a rig that could render faster be ?
About... Treefiddy
It's taking almost 2 days for you to render a bit of footage of 2d artwork being warped and moving about?! Bruh, what are you rendering on? A gen 1 i5? I think we need to pool some money and get you a nice workstation. I've got some old 1050s I could donate. Gently used.
It's a biiiit more than just 2d artwork being warped and moved about, unfortunately. The images themselves are often high resolution and are all pre-comps lost in a sea of other pre-comps. In addition, we have a whole slew of effects, everything from colour correction to the puppet tool to particle effects... It's a whole thing. I already got two computers I got put together specifically to be effective editing machines and yet it isn't quite enough to make rendering a project like this a speedy process.
I'm not paying every month to get angry about you not making a video every month. I am helping because when you do make videos, they are very good. So take your time, let it render, and please keep us updated because updates are nice!
You take your time, man, quality matters more. If you were delaying without saying anything, that would be one thing, but anyone who knows this game knows rendering is a monster.
Thank you! And yeah, rendering times are often a subtle, devious foe who only appears after you think you've already won the game.
PSH! You take all the time you need, dude. I can afford to wait for awesomeness. Heck I'm expecting you to someday go full Peter Jackson on something and turn a 10 minute idea into a 3 part series of feature length works.... and it'll be awesome.
Oh jeez, I mean, I'd hope and pray it would be, I just hope it can actually be justified as a 33 part series and not suffer the dreaded script bloat.
Nice, hope rendering purgatory isn't to hellish and can't wait for the masterpiece.
not allowed Well at least for a while Im Sure you can have fun With the script in a shorter copacity
Can you at least give us a number for how much total render time you think is left?
It's haaaard for me to do that at the moment due to the video being split up into several different parts, each rendered separately, so the program itself cannot give a good estimation.
In other words: estimated time remaining: less than a month. I can wait since I know it's going to be a blast.
That is about right yes!
I imagine alfa in a shed in the cold wastelands of sweden editing while karl haunts the night.
I bet Karl spends most of his nights haunting anyhow, but good imagery all the same
Quality takes time, but it is worth the wait.
I would lend computational power if I could. I have the computer, but no way to get it to help you. Sadface. Can’t wait for the video!
To be honest, I'm just looking forward to it. Render is a bitch and takes time. But there shall be gloriousnessness after
Here’s an idea: why not make the Patreon exclusive previews avaiable to the public in situations like this as a sort of way to get something out in the mean time, while hyping up the main event?
You know there exist computers where you can have more than one CPU, having that would probably help. Do the fans cry bloody murder on your machine when you render btw?
They do not! The computers run just fine even while rendering, able to handle lesser tasks simultaneously like allowing me to edit subtitles, which is a boon. I'm not great with hardware knowledge, but I know my newest computer got 20 different CPUs running, with AE using about 8 of them if I remember correctly, the RAM allocated between them for multiprocessing.
