Dev Update #96


How about a little Dev Update?

Scene 7 is posed and queued for rendering.

Scene 9 is half-written. Yes, scene 9. I had to skip scene 8 because, for some reasons, I couldn't work on it at the moment. So I worked on scene 9 instead. It's a medium-sized scene with about 2000 words at the moment. It should get bigger than 3000 words. Most of the posing for that scene should be easy too but we'll see about that when I'll get there.

I'm going to finish writing scene 9 this weekend and then go back to scene 8. Scene 8 is going to be a big and "intense" scene, in several ways.

My workstation had another adventure at the workshop. They fixed the water-cooling loop and it seems to work properly now. However the whole thing still gets pretty hot, but it's probably because there is now double the heat to dissipate, as there are now two GPUs, and that's enough heat to saturate my room. I've rendered for a large part of this Friday and the temperatures were nicely low in the morning but slowly roses through the day as the heat in the room became pretty much unbearable.

So, I think it's working properly but I'll need some more ventilation. I'll also have to look into undervolting as it seems to make wonders in keeping GPUs cool under load.

I think we're back in the rendering business.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 1 will contain 13 scenes.
  • Scenes 1 to 7 are written. Half of scene 9 is written.
  • Scenes 1 to 7 are posed.
  • Scenes 1 to 5 are rendered. Half of Scene 6 is rendered.
  • Scenes 1 to 5 are coded.
  • 24 186 words, 3567 lines of code, 435 shots are posed and 360 are rendered.
  • 10 environments have been reworked.
  • I'm currently writing scene 9 (but I skipped scene 8).

Glad that it is fixed.  

Yes, if working correctly your room can get HOT.  The  heat has to go somewhere.   

Yes, under-volting can help with the heat.  you just have to be careful not to go too low as that has a chance to crash the cards under load.

I tried undervolting a bit last night and I got a bit too far. I'll review my settings next time !
