Progress on The Beast and the book
Feb 24th, 2008 by admin
A little update:
The book (Animating with Blender: Creating a Short Animation from Start to Finish) is about half written. Also, I have time on a small render farm donated to The Beast, which exposed a bug in Blender’s strand distribution method. Child particles were generated differently on different processors, meaning that non-homogenous render farms couldn’t be used for animation with particles. Brecht just fixed it this morning (Thanks!) so rendering on the finished animation files can commence!
That was a great bug find! It’s amazing how good, fast, and dedicated the coders are at making Blender the best. Good luck with the project.
