Hello everyone.
I'm sorry I didn't post a progress report in November. I keep thinking I am almost done with the episode and so my original intention was to postpone the report for just a short period so I could announce a release date. Unfortunately, these last few scenes I've been working on have just ended up being much bigger than I expected them to be, so that short postponement turned into a month, and yet I still can't announce a release date.
While Episode Four has taken me longer to finish than I expected, I have been working hard over the last ten months. Episode Four will be big and will have significant story progress. I hope once it's released you will feel it was worth the wait.
At this time I've finished over 3,300 still renders for Episode Four. Compare that with 1,896 renders for Episode Three, 2,536 renders for Episode Two, and 1,705 renders for Episode One. I've also finished rendering 45 animations and Sandem is hard at work on posing the last batch.
I will keep you posted on my progress. Thank you for your patience.
