[Tier 2] Animation 9 WIP #6 | Optimization (Patreon)

Well, I really wanted to animate and get the final scenes done... But I've never used 4 highly detailed characters in one scene before... Wow did it take me a while to optimize everything. I am very glad I know enough about blender, to know what to do when it comes to optimizing a scene to work with my weak 8gb vram graphics card. I guess 3 characters was kind of the max I can do because when I added Widow everything kind of went to shit. And because eevee doesn't have a texture simplify option I had to go through every single texture and resize each one. Ended up having to do that twice, then changing a ton of modifiers on each character so the simplify would also be nerfed, then went through each character's material and made sure they shared as many textures as possible. And on top of all that, every time I would click something or do anything in blender, it would have to load for at least 2 seconds. 😂 The little bit of animation I gave widow took me so long because of this.

My original plan was to animate all the scenes with all 4 characters, but I don't think that is possible. So, it will probably just be Widow taking turns with each support one on one. Luckily though all that optimization got each frame to render at exactly one minute which isn't horrible.

Gonna get this second scene rendered, then start on the next scenes soon.
