Render from last night’s OBS\Youtube stream.  I was planning on leaving the live recording up in the blog post, but since I forgot to reschedule my auto-backup software it popped up a window and covered up Max’s render window, so I just deleted the post.  Not too exciting anyways.  Max’s frame buffer window used to update in sort of an interesting way, trying to figure out why it’s not.

I should probably be doing this more though, rendering overnight.

+’s: easier to cool, off-peak energy rates, being able to crank up the quality settings and render longer (this one took about 1 minute per frame, so about 5 hours for 300 frames).

-‘s: if the render shits the bed and crashes 1 minute after I go to bed I won’t know until morning, if there’s a glitch in the completed renders somewhere I won’t know until the morning, waking up to a hot computer room.

This render crashed overnight, dillightful.  Was trying out using VLC and HTML5 to live stream a video of the render server’s desktop as it rendered, but I haven’t gotten it to work yet.

Sort of expecting this, the other more doable plan is to just use Youtube then embed the link here.  But not realizing that since I’ve never live streamed YT before for it’s making me wait 24 hours.
