Law School Episode 3 - Progress update #9

T’was a pretty good week.

After last week's update, the bar was set pretty high. Despite being sick on Sunday and taking the entire day off, I still managed to hit some solid numbers this week.

First off, I’ve completed DAY 3 in-game. This last scene was particularly tough to create due to the sheer depth of emotions and character development involved. I won’t say much, but expect some mixed feelings after this scene. But hey, I know the story and you don’t, so you’ll just have to trust me!

On another note, I’ve increased the quality of all my renders. I'll spare you all the technical gibberish, let's just say I’ve decided to spend 1.5 to 2 times more time per image. It wasn’t an easy decision—I had to weigh whether the addition of my extra rendering rig would make up for the increased rendering time. As of now, I have about 360 images in the queue and 23 animations rendering across my machines. That’s a lot. With this much content, I’m probably good for the next 5 to 6 weeks.

That said, 14 of those animations take place in a low-light, high-spotlight environment with varying colors, which makes them incredibly demanding to render. I’m doing them in 2K resolution, and each frame still takes 15–20 minutes to render. Yikes. Once those are done, though, the queue should clear up much faster.

In the meantime, I keep creating new renders and animations. I’m currently working on the last scene for which I had written the script while on holiday in January. Tomorrow, I’ll finally get back to writing, which I haven’t done in a few weeks.

Now, let’s talk numbers:

📸 1,160 static story images
🎞 59 animations
📝 21 fully written scenes

I made 141 renders since last week, and 8 new animations. Those are some pretty nice numbers, considering I only worked 6 days instead of 7 this week.

There’s not much else to add for now—I’m planning to stay in full work mode until early March, as my family will be visiting for a few days. Ideally, I’d like to finish DAY 4 and get a good chunk of DAY 5 done before then.

Won’t even take a shower! (Just kidding… or am I?)

Anyway, I wish you all a fantastic week, and I’ll see you next Monday!
