Description Well, there have been quite a few developments as of late on my side... I have started to learn how to use the more up-to-date rendering engine in Blender, and while it was a bit confusing at first, the end results are simply outstanding. The engine now uses the GPU to do the rendering, and I can have previews of the final render in real time during the editing phase. The lighting looks a lot, lot more realistic, and there is much less of a need for workarounds to get things done. Don't even get me started on the hair. And since it doesn't pull so much on the CPU, I can also stream easier in the future. Only downside, the renders take longer now, but I already ordered a new computer to make things significantly faster. I am truly excited about it and am looking forward to playing more with that in the future.

Also, more attempts at timestopping. I actually have more things in mind for that Aerith model, but I kinda wanted to do a little something before moving on to bigger projects. Hopefully it conveys the idea well.

The model and scene look pretty sharp!


I'm not so crazy about the hair though...it looks like dried/uncooked instant ramen.

Yeah... the hair was supposed to look shinier than that, but to be honest, I'm still learning about the intricacies of the new rendering engine I'm using. Hopefully I'll get it right next time.

Right on...I'd offer my input but unfortunately I know next to nothing about Blender (mostly a Maya guy, myself.)

Well I can definitely see improvements and yeah specially on the hair. Also, it's good that you found something that doesn't kill your PC. Anything negative I have to say would just be nitpicking on how time stop affect gravity. Keep up the awesome work there buddy.

- Aerith your taste in underwear is a bit on the sad side. We can fix that.

Quiet you.
