Last Night...

Last night was rough. I spent all day creating the START Animation for a scene. Took literally all day. I got done, and moved the animation over to the scene it's supposed to be in. In transit, it's transforms broke, and nothing was aligned anymore. The whole animation was broken. It was 3 or 4 in the morning when I figured this out... Lucky I even noticed because I had started the render to run over night. Realized it was going to take 20 hours, stopped the render to reduce it to 1k so it would be quicker, and just decided to check the animation one last time before I ran the render and went to bed. That's when I noticed the problem.

The bigger problem, was that I had saved the broken animation and didn't have access to before it broke. So what did I do? At 4am, I started over. At this point I had already been awake for 20 hours working on the game. But I strapped in, and got back to work. At 8am, I had finished the animation again. Maybe not as perfect as the first one. But good enough... I put it through the render process and went to bed.

I woke up and only 100 out of 140 frames completed before there was an error. So today, I have to not only make the second part of that animation, but I have to render the last 40 frames of it again too.

And for some reason, I'm awake at 11am...
