My health. An update.

I still can't walk, and my right arm is still in bad shape, but the meds helped tremendously to reduce the inflammation, and I've been able to work, with the support of a pillow under my elbow.

I guess we can say I'm doing slightly better. I have some medical appointments in the coming weeks that, I hope, will help fix my health issues.

V0.6.7 : Scene 33.

So... I worked on posing scene 33 for the whole week. And I made some decent progress. So far, the scene is very easy to pose as it's very static, so I've been progressing fairly fast. I have reached shot #100, and 91 images remain, according to my initial plan. I already know that I won't be as efficient next week, because the posing will soon become a bit more complex, and because some medical appointments will take me away from work for a non-negligible number of hours, but I still have good hopes to keep on progressing at an honorable speed for the rest of the scene.

I've started rendering the shots I've posed. So far, the first 54 images have been rendered. I'm not completely happy with the results. The light looks good, but there are a lot of reflections in the shots, and I lack the computing power to properly render them in a reasonable amount of time. I'm running the renders for about 8500 iterations, but they would need about 25k iterations to properly render (about 3 hours of rendering per image, with my hardware). I just don't have that kind of time.

I hope that post-processing will help deal with the image quality. It's not awful, just not as good as the renders from the previous update.

So I worked, I made progress, and I hope to do some more next week!

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 7 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 33, 34, and 35.
• Day 6 Part 7 will contain 1 reworked scene.
• 6489 words of new content.
• 191 shots are planned, 100 are posed, 54 are rendered
• I'm currently posing scene 33.
