Hey there

I've been working on the fifth scene this week. The scene itself isn't heavy, and it's good. But it takes more time to produce some decent test renders than the previous scene. And it's not good.

Combine this with me being unhappy with the lighting, having redoing it a couple of times, and then some personal business that couldn't wait. And this is how I ended up being off schedule.

It's not massive, I'm lagging behind by a few shots. I'm recovering at the moment. But as it seems right now, I would have to put a day off aside to reach the target for this week. I'll let you know how it turned out in the next report, but with 99% probability, I'll meet the goal for this week.

Now I'm about 60% through the fifth scene, and I expect to finish it next week. I'm not happy with the script and I need to find some spare time to work with it, but so far I don't see any render-free time until I deal with two more scenes.

Meanwhile, the render queue is a sad place; it's more than 100+ right now and keeps building up. The fifth scene will make it worse; a single render from the fifth scene takes far more than an hour to be produced.

There will be a preview this week, but it will be reduced - not 3 renders but rather 2 or 1. I'm trying to find the best format for it. I want to post previews more regularly, so you'd know what exactly you get for your money, but I don't want to show too much before the update release.

Thanks for the support. See you.
