This isn't even an especially complicated render. I mean, there are maybe 30 pieces of dynamic cloth, but they're all cached.
85 hours in, and I'm finally down to less than 100 frames remaining.
I went to CVS to get photos with my $5 coupon! But the app isn't shown as used! But when I go to my cart I don't see how to use it!
I can't go back to cvs today and today is the last day of the coupon!
....ooooh, page 99, only one page of stupidity to go.
the stupidity never ends
I found a pair of pudgy tits online!
Ugh... The catkins* are really getting out of hand this year...
* Those stringy pollen distributing things that fall off of trees and cover everything in the spring.
Well, pudgy tits are better than lopsided boobies...
Only 24 frames left after around 130 hours.
I accidentally washed a picture in yesterday's laundry. I hope it was okay to launder a photo of a cat?
150-ish hours is probably too long to spend rendering something that is basically just a test. I thought I fixed all the foot sliding, but I guess switching from "locomotive" to "in-place" animation to stop them from walking through each other destroyed that work. Solaris outputs EXR, so I guess I also need to finally learn how to color correct well.
Good Job
...indeed.
150 hours for 11 seconds. reminds me of old Bryce render times on a 32 bit machine.
It sounds a little less crazy if you think of it as 300 frames rather than 11 seconds. 2 frames an hour isn't great, but it sounds way better than 1.76 seconds per day.
There is something in my pots. Oh my!
Triffids in the dirt.
The cat probably didn't like getting wet. A few do, but most don't - mine, for instance.
Exchanging glances
Triffids in the dirt
What were the chances
We'd destroy mankind
Before the night was throooooo...
It's been exactly two years since I began using Iray for my art and let 3Delight kind of fade away, but looking back on the art done with it I have to say that art had a certain allure to it. Also, from my experience,once you apply postwork on 3Delight and Iray you get different results. 3Delight postwork has a very illustration vibe to it. Iray is somehow different. Can't exactly pinpoint why. It is great and all, but it's hard to describe it. Unless I view all of it through noistalgia eyes. After all have used it for almost ten years. :D
Non-complaint: Getting back to "normal", sort of. The stress of the early part of this week has dissipated. My wonky eye seems to be healing, no infection, no blood, no pain, eye seems to register light in all parts, lens doesn't focus properly through the gas filled eyeball but when I hold eyedrops over my eye just about a centimeter away, I can see a semi-focused image of the tip area of the bottle, so the eye is making sense of the image.
Hopefully, when the swelling all goes down, and the cells of the retina repair themselves, and if nothing else traumatic happens, I might get most of the sight back in that eye. Yay! 
<Knock on wood>
But it will be slow. Many weeks for the retina to heal and the eyeball to fill with liquid again.
Why do cars need gas but can't use anything from when I feel gasy?
Would you really be comfortable with any manner of transferring that gas to a vehicle for use in its combustion cycle?
The equipment involved would be quite unnerving.
Why does this titmouse look like a song bird?
@McGyver so true!
Life was more simpler with only cash in hand. Less stressful. Now if there is a single Visa missing cortisol skyrockets through the roof.
This was a Stupid Day.
Argued with my Brother about nothing before I found out it was nothing.
Oh, that's why the activity has increased...
Been there, done that, still suffering.
I tried thinking about nothing, but I gave up as all it did was give me headaches.
Sometimes it's just enough to play with the word "nothing" itself. No thing is nothing. Nothing is no thing. Ghaaa..., it's both sides of the coin.
It's like your reflection in the mirror, obvious, but untouchable.
It's a hole in consciousness.
Nothing is like it. Yet it is no thing. Arghhh..., pretzel brain time.
If one is confused by that, then one is sufficiently ready to tackle quantum field theory where everything is implied to be nothing, and nothing is implied to be everything.
"They're coming to take me away, ha ha, ho ho, he he, ..." But after a half century of pondering these things (and no things), it begins to make sense to me, in an inside-out sort of way.
Similarly:
Sorry I'm still blathering, but I was irreparably damaged by once trying to read the most unreadable book in the Universe. "Being and Nothingness" by Jean-Paul Sartre. It corrupted me and set my philosophical/spiritual progress back years.
You think I'm playing word games here? B&N is a master puzzle of obtusely twisted definitions, such as "in itself" and "for itself", and an ever more complex dictionary of self-referential phrases that sound profound yet resolve nothing**.
By which I mean that by the end you are totally lost in the limits of language, and have resolved neither the concept of being nor nothingness. Stick to quantum field theory, it is experimentally demonstrable and makes more sense.
**By which I mean does not resolve nothing. Um..., er..., one's question about "nothing" does not get resolved..., Arghhhh....
