(Final) You've always been a slut, sister...
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 13:59:43 +0000 UTC... And that's why I love you <3
I promised I would get it done for this week-end, and it went faster than expected :D
Lemme tell you a story: it's been a few weeks now that I come back to Cycles (the main render engine of Blender for uninitiated ones). And after almost 2 years of working almost only on Eevee (the other render engine of Blender), I struggled a lot to make my lighting for all the recent Cycles pieces (the Tifa and Tina scenes, and the Motoko Kusanagi WIP animation) because the viewport was iiiiiiincredibly slow and unresponsive when I switched to render preview mode (this mode is mandatory to set up your lighting).
And here I was thinking: "Did Cycles became bullshit again or what?". But even on Eevee it's been almost a year now that I noticed that any movement from the camera in material preview/render preview modes was killing the refresh rate of all videos I was playing when working on Blender, everytime during 3/4 seconds.
Last night, by accident I opened my EVGA Precision X1, the manager software of my GPU. And I noticed with horror that this motherf****** was applying a dynamic power cap between 8 and 18% to my RTX 3080........... Sigh.
Since I deleted that limit, things became magical. For instance, the main image of this Kasumi scene was still rendered with that cap applied and it took 1h40 to render it in 4k. The 3 others were rendered with the exact same settings, but without the power limit, in only 25 minutes (each one)...
All of this to say that I can more easily consider working on Cycles in the near future now, which should help to increase the quality of my lighting (and even on Cycles, my lighting should get better thanks to the fact that the viewport becomes usable for me in rendered mode hehe). But I won't give up on Eevee neither. I'll alternate between the two render engines, according to the type of the characters, to the shaders of the map and also to my mood.
Alright, enough typing, but as usual, I hope you'll all enjoy this new scene and that you won't regret your vote for our beloved filthy Kunoichi 🥰
Full set available in August term, which will be sent through DM around September, the 6th!
