The dock’s been finished just in time for the first shot’s due date (which was earlier this week). Managing multipass rendering in Lightwave turned out to be a nightmare, and took two days just to finagle render passes into different scene files. On the upside, I learned which passes I can consolidate next time. I’m trying to push out one more final shot by next Tuesday with two more shots set up. These last two shots will have dynamics imported as point caches from Houdini, which I’m sure will be absolutely exhilarating to get working. This leaves me with four shots by the end of the quarter, with the pipeline in place to do the remaining 11 shots over the summer.
Superb !!!!!!!!
