WIP: One week left!
🕑 Added 2024-03-21 14:46:12 +0000 UTC
Hi!! Weekly update time, and...yes, it's still about this one. I'm ALMOST DONE, I promise!!!
Just this little part left! This may or may not require rigging 7 characters with a different outfit just for a final frame, it really depends on how much time and patience I have left.
Next week is the one that's going to be busier than usual, so it was just in time. I'll have to be a little less active in doing these for a little while, but I'll do my best to be able to work a little bit everyday so I don't lose steam.
Even if I finish this one, my next video will be the one I started showing in the sunday videos. This time, I'll go step by step on it every week trying to teach what I can and showing how it goes. I hope it's fun to have a closer look at it in video form with a few tutorials along the way! If you're curious about the next one, I'm thinking of showing how I usually do the lighting - it's something I haven't talked about yet.
This one! I believe it will probably be ready much faster and also be more comfortable to work on than this one, so I will compensate for the 1+ month it took to post it.
I've been working on it for so long that I don't even know if it looks that good anymore! I really hope it's still decent and my eyes are just tired of it. You know when you look at something for so long that you just see the things that you don't like? :P
As for challenges...my PC is starting to cry for help. I actually had to stop recording my progress with OBS and I will probably have to look into it later, but this project is HEAVY. The premiere project also has a lot of effects and sounds and things, and it renders much slower that I'm used to. So I stopped recording while using it to be able to see the video while editing it.
I also have a grand total of 21 scenes in Blender for this project, and there's still one left. Most of them are relatively short and simple, and the real focus here is putting them together later, but numerically it's the largest one.
In the end I gave up on installing and learning After Effects, but during the whole process there were effects I wanted to make that would've been much easier there...it's definitely something I still want to do, but first I have to be sure my PC can handle it. I still learned a lot of new tricks in Premiere, so it was still a great learning experience.
I also followed a simple tutorial on how to make glass and look at it!! Not perfect but it's definitely an improvement over the one in the actual Aymeric dinner scene ingame! It would be nice if they updated it after DT.
I can't wait to post it finally!!! This one has a set release date though, and it will be the monday after the next. I'm putting a deadline to it so I can improve on it until then and plan my week around it.
Not a lot to show for this update, but I really hope next week I will be able to tell you all that it's FINALLY OVER and start talking about the next ideas.
Thank you very much for your support!
