Weekly Wednesdays #39/19

But due to supply issues the new card got cancelled and I'm now sitting here with a gutted PC and no new card. Since the old cards are already up for sale I won't be putting it back together any time soon and therefore all the rendering load for Mi...

But things start to normalize on my end so I'll be in full swing soon again.Midnight RideNot there yet... not there.

Will you look at that!Midnight RideGood progress has been made on the renders for Ride#3 but none of those are tame enough to be shared here.

Oh hey, wednesday again!Midnight RidePretty much all work time was spent on Midnight Ride the past week!The Bad Ending path renders were giving us major headache because it made us reach some hardware limits (11GB of VRAM simply doesn't cut it anymore these days).BUT we managed to establish a workflow that lets us continue the path we envisioned without forcing us to change anything in the intended story.Speaking of which: translation of the ...
