So the animating is done for my animation bar one little shot and I've just been rendering these past couple weeks. Some shots are better than others and some needed several re renders but I only have about a quarter of the film left to render before mid November.
I am having this weird issue where textures are blurry in some scenes but are crisp in others. So my coupon that I want to be readable is very pixelated in some shots but perfectly crisp in other shots. It's very weird and annoying and I have no idea how to fix it. But I'll let future me worry about that.
My compositing shot still needs to be rendered yet. I have a hefty explosion in my animation that really slows down the computer and is awful to work on. I have it looking how I want and the building explodes how I want but the burger pole next to it doesn't get affected by the explosion because I haven't made it into an nCloth yet. That's going to be a pain but I still have to do it eventually. Soon really. Also the shot after that where the coupon burns up I still have to animate. I've tried several ways of achieving the effect but I can't work out how to make the polygons actually disintegrate. I can get them to break apart but then I have a shite load of little tiny squares floating around which isn't ideal.
Oh well I'll figure it out soon enough.
I'm going to be applying to lots of animation jobs for next year which will probably mean me moving somewhere else and bigger which is a little scary but I guess I gotta grow up and get a job sometime... well maybe not grow up but definitely the job thing.
Anyway that's about all I'm up to at the moment. I can't wait to see everyones films and animations and to read all the graphic novels, The end of this year is going to be awesome and terrifying at the same time so that's exciting and nerve wracking.
PS I'm also working on a side project graphic novel. Here's a picture of the protagonist just so there's a picture that goes with this blog.
