Update on Rendering

WE ARE RENDERING!...

But not on the Vanguard.

Reasons why we're not rendering on Vanguard:

Huge ques
Vanguard has been inconsistent with other groups renders
Vanguard does not always recognise all textures
Speed of rendering varies
No one has been able to finish a complete render on Vanguard
Have to reasign textures

So what are we using to render then?

Well, Spence and I have decided to render on the L Drive. The L Drive is proving to render faster and more consistently than the Vanguard at the moment. The good thing is that we don't need to waste time reassign textures again. The Marmalade group gave up on the Vanguard and are using the L Drive to render the last bit of their animation.

All together Stuwart worked out that it would take about 10-12 hours to render everything. The more computers we have rendering (4 of us) the faster we can cut that time down. We have 2 computers already.

As for the Lighting, texturing and stuff like that... It's DONE!

We just need to get the flames back onto the candles in the main room and then the main room is sorted and ready to render. The

Animation

Stuwart has ported his key frames into the Basement and it is rendering as I type.

Main priorities tomorow:

Grab a computer
Render as many frames as possible

I'm not going to put pictures up of the Mansion, you should know what it looks like by now.
