Thx
No Oshyan, so far I still stick to 4.1.24 because my maintenance period was over before the updates came out.
At the moment I had to renew some PC equipment with my budget so I am waiting for some special features before I will invest in software: like object motion blur, some more lense flare options...
But anyway I am in absoltultely desperate learning and researching stress with the outside scenes here... the light conditions combined with very variing model quality in a procedural canyon like this and my as usual extreme camera paths will cost me many many weeks of testing and rerendering again and again.
Most annoing is that sometimes mistakes appear in higher resolution /AA renders at first time so that all testrenders - even animation tests are almost useless...
At the moment I am learning and experimenting with Ray Detail Region, funny popping up shadows of mountains wihich even don't exist... flickering reflections though switched off spec highlights (at first it seemed only to happen with self illuminated objects with a value above "1" - but now I found out it also happens if light sources illuminate surfaces highly even if the light sources are set to don't cause spec highlights)...
...besides there's Murphy's law! Usually you find these mistakes only after rendering 2-4 weeks. The corrections you have to do are
always those kind of changes which force you to a.) rerender the complete 500 frames animation from the 1rst frame. And b.) the changes additionally force you to rerender 5-10 other animations because light conditions or props change in a way that you can't keep the other animations for logical or script/plot- reasons...
Just too many construction sites to work so that I am not interested in any new features - sorry
But I'll try to not give up... all that has just grown too big...
... and it grows... because in a canyon THIS TV SHOW HAS TO BE MENTIONED:
[attach=1]
I found the foto of this sign in Internet and I just wanted it
That means this sign in a bit different way does really exist!
...only an experimental still shot ... You may guess who will appear behind the sign a few frames later passing over...
...no story planned only passing the scene. Otherwise it would destroy the film script...
