Augh, thing kept hanging while shooting photons so I had to disable caustics. Still not too bad without it I guess. It has lost some of that opaqueness from the materials as some settings are not in effect. Solution I guess is more research on caustics and scene set up or rigging. I think I am going to take a break from this for a bit then return to the possible other maps and adding a light pass of detail modeling as some of those details DO show up on the spike.
I think I will need to stress test my leech box (old main system) and set it up as slave render or use it so I can run off renders while I do other things on the main system. Issue is I was having a lot of usb related reboots and GPU issues IE drivers locking up as it was expecting the hdw response and the setting is too short and causes me to loose connection to the monitors forcing me to hard reset.
I think some of the random reboots due to HDW error I think si down to SATA cables going south. Really hate the format as it gets really sloppy and causes all sorts of greif. Going to hotglue the fuqers in when I do a case swap this weekend. (huge 800d case is a bit of a joke for a hdd farm, exp as it's air cooling abilities suck.)
ANYHOW if things work out and I can stabilize that box under render loads I will likely be doing a lot more comps in the future. Maybe some animations.
Decided it had been about a month since I painted/doodled anything
It shows sadly.
sorta gave up on this as I still dunno what her costume should be. loads of issues with it.
Just rage and annoyance. oh well. Marisa from Touhou. Dunno if these will become anything more than scribbles or not.
