Case Log #23 Ch4
🕑 Added 2024-08-26 00:44:33 +0000 UTCBack to the customary Sunday log. Some good progress last few days. I have finished writing the chapter, but there is one scene that I'll probably do a bit of a rewrite on. Nothing major, but I felt that some of the dialogue was a little forced. I'll iron that out this week. I've mapped out almost all of chapter 5 scene by scene, so will start to write that right after polishing this chapter which is exciting. I just finished scene 12 renders, so I'm hoping to start 13 today. Probably won't get too many renders done as this is a new environment: Rackham City Hall.
I'm not happy with how long this chapter has taken to render. I do have a problem with over-rendering...I think, but I also enjoy that part of the process the most and like to not take the easy route. For chapter 5 I'm going to try something out. I'm going to set a deadline for myself and see if that helps. Originally I thought I would release a chapter every other month. What a fool I was. No chance in hell I can do that. However, I am going to try to set a 3 month deadline. 4 chapters a year would be an ideal pace, if I can manage. If I render 100 images a week that lands me at 1200, which is probably the max for any of the chapters. The scenes themselves obviously matter in terms of complexity, but that should even out. So I'll give that a proper go, and we'll see what happens.
Right now Chapter 4 stands at 1,180 renders and finished at 16,550 words...only good for comparison with previous chapters. Last chapter was less than 1,000 renders and just over 11,000 words.
Cheers!

Ever the fantastic supporter! I am going to give it the college try:-) Of course, I aced my RL college experience, but this is a little different. The support, be it small in size but very committed, is the real reason I put in 100% effort.
