During the start of this week my group and i had been suffering from serious Maya crashes on Monday to Wednesday along with the majority of the class also, Otherwise i had started with the outdoor lighting using a physical sun and sky and image based lighting for the indoor shots. over the weekend i had finished simulation and Bifrost caches for Shot 04 of Scene 05 ( Close up of tubbs being sprayed in the face by the hose), The bifrost cache took 90min to simulate of a size at 2.4GB cache. I have managed to reduce rendering time of the scene down from 25min for a single frame to 1:30sec per frame,( which in turn is the most demanding render shot of the film)... So extremely happy with the way things are going and i hope to have the remainder of simulations all cached out and ready for render. In terms of my individual submissions for the group project, since some time ago i had finished what i needed for assessments marking and am confident my fellow teammates Gino, James and Jonathan are on track with submissions also, i intend to help them out for submissions if need be so we can all happily sit back on a sigh of relief for all our hard work being a great success :)
