I've been making longer and longer sets, with bigger environments and more detailed characters which is impacting my release schedule. I used to upload almost every week, but smaller sets. Whereas now I upload far less frequently, but with larger sets.

What do you prefer?

• Larger sets, but less frequent?

• Smaller sets, but more frequent?

More context about render times:  This is a bit of a generalization, but usually 1 render would take approximately 4 - 6 hours. So every day, I can maybe squeeze in 2 - 3 renders.

If we take the office set, that's about 368 renders, give or take. That's 122 days of rendering. On weekends, I can do more renders, so that number would very likely be  more around the 100.

In my opinion, this is like a very good movie or video game. It doesn't matter if we have to wait for a long time : if the project is incredible at the end, it's worth it. What you do is art. Art takes time. Don't worry. So, for me, I prefer a long wait for a long project. Like, your Last of Us project, for example : I know it's going to be amazing and beautiful (your scenes are so romantic : that's what I love the most. It's not just sex.) So, it doesn't matter if I have to wait.

My philosophy is quality > quality, plus I love having more angles!

Most definitely larger sets even though it’ll take longer it will be worth the wait takes time to perfect what you do! :)

Well, 100 days means only 3-4 sets per year, and for me that's going to be a hard No. I think your striving for realism is admirable, but some compromises could be made to lower render times without anyone besides you ever noticing.

I definitely prefer the longer sets and with text preferable. Now 400 renders may be a bit on the extreme side but I don’t imagine you plan to do that again lol. Definitely looking forward to it, but that set will take a few sittings to read through I imagine lol.

I think you should base it on the story you want to tell. If the story merits a longer set, do that! If it's a short story, do a short set. Ya know?
