Hi Matthew,
Thank you! It’s really nice to have other people on this site doing the same tutorials, so I can compare! I’ll try adjusting some of those settings and see what happens.
Your bird looks great! Hopefully I’ll get to that level of finished-ness soon, haha! I knew this course would be a ride but I’m amazed at how many hours I’ve put in just so far.
Does your computer tend to slow down during the rendering? Like, I can’t even click around Blender’s UI – maybe that’s normal, since the GPU has to work so hard to finish the render.
I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy CGing!
