FINAL UPDATES: Opal's Animation (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

I did everything I could to make sure this animation would be finished by the start of July, but unfortunately it's gonna be impossible and it's out of my control at this point.

The main reason is the RENDERING process:

In 3D software, "Rendering" is the process of converting the low quality preview 3d models  to high quality, realistic images, FRAME BY FRAME: (Kinda like exporting the final result, very slowly)Rendering has always been a very slow process that requires a lot of computing calculations:

This process can take around 3 to 9 minutes PER FRAME on my animations! Which means between 90 minutes to 4 hours and half just to render/export a single second of animation. (this depends on the hardware I have, the settings I use and optimizations. And I did everything I could to make it render as fast as possible without sacrificing the quality noticeably)Because this is my biggest animation EVER, it's also gonna take longer to finish rendering!

There's really nothing else I can do to speed things up. Rendering has always been a very slow process I'd say there's a 50% chance it will finish rendering at the end of July, but a 100% guarantee that it will be definitely finished during August!

On the bright side, this delay means this is gonna be the longest animation I ever publishedThere's another big reason for the delay: RENDERING BUGS OR ARTIFACTS:

Octane Render, despite looking nice, is awful for animations involving combinations of very large objects and tiny objects on the same scene, You either get weird artifacts like this on tiny people or large dark spots on giantesses or any other large objects. (What a nightmare this is for giantess animations!) o.OI try to fix most of these problems in post, (with video editing tricks) however, fixing a problem with Photoshop on a single frame or fixing something on a video (with thousands of frames) is very different and that alone can take me another week to get rid of most of these.

I understand these are disappointing news, and I also completely understand that some of you might want to take a break from my patreon, at least until this animation is finally finished, especially in though times like this!With that said, I'm 100% sure that it will be finished during August (maybe before, but I really can't guarantee it) I Really didn't want to write this post, but if I want this animation to be great and longer, then there's no way around it :/  Anyway, here's a couple more renders for now ;)
