Omar Domenech’s Demo Reel

[silentheart00]

@dostovel Here’s the thing: I am using 2.7.

@theluthier Yeah, real head scratcher that one.  Lemme try something.

[silentheart00]

Okay, so what I think happened was I was using a version of 2.7 built upon 2.8.  

I have the linked one downloaded now, so let’s give that a whirl and see what happens.

It’s very interesting to see how even when it says 2.7 there are problems underneath you wouldn’t think would be problems.  My unintentional breaking of things comes in handy once again!

[Omar Domenech]

@silentheart00 Well at least you weren’t wrong about your potential to break things 😅

Thanks a lot for sticking through the mishaps, Silent. Lets hope the version of 2.79 you downloaded will work fine. 🤞🏼

[silentheart00]

@dostovel I always joke I would be a great tester because I genuinely tend to break things upon first try, but I also like to think it makes me a better debugger, too.

I rendered a couple of frames.  They look to be the appropriate size, but now I need my PC to work.  If you could check and confirm they’re right that would be great.  Don’t worry, we got this.

[Omar Domenech]

@silentheart00 I will, as soon as one finishes rendering. You deleted the ones you had rendered so far, so now there aren’t any with your name on them. The ones that have your name are at 0kb so that probably means they haven’t finish rendering.

@dostovel …

Time to debug another thing, it appears.

[Kent Trammell]

What…is…a  2.79 version built with the 2.8 branch? Lol I didn’t know that was a thing. Surely the official build will render correctly 🤞

[silentheart00]

@theluthier Well, apparently it totally is a thing.  Here’s hoping everything is smoother this time around.

Greetings Sirs, cgcookie comunity discord server ready to assist. I will message the most activce members and ask them to help out. In adition my deputy “Phil Osterbauer” just put something up in one of our channels to make sure this doesnt just drift away.

[Omar Domenech]

@arev Thank you Arev, and thanks @phoenix4690 for spreading the word around.

[Morten Fjellheim]

@dostovel No problem Omar, in adition i just pinged all the discord server members…

[Morten Fjellheim]

@dostovel Just a question. Since we have to download the render packs it might seem like everyone who helps, have to render the whole animation. Isnt there a way that removes a spesific file once someone renders it, so that that others can render another file?

[Omar Domenech]

@arev Yes, Blender has an option called “Placeholders” you enable it and that prevents people from rendering the same file, so if Blender sees I’m rendering frame 5 and frames 1 to 4 have also been rendered, your will automatically jump to frame 6 to render.

But you don’t have to download the blender packed file, just open it from Google Drive and render away, nothing has to be in your local hard drive. There are directions at the top of this post. Also inside the .blend there is a short instruction that guides you.

And most important: “USE BLENDER 2.79b TO RENDER”
