Update on UPAS 1, man for weeks now I've been struggling with this one render problem that delayed the fight for a long time now, but finally I fixed it. Turns out, I used Evee as the rendering engine and man did it fuck up the lighting. I used it since it was quick, but it had so many problems, especially on weak laptops like mine. I decided to move to another rendering engine called Cycles which I used originally, but it would've taken months for it to finish rendering because of how long it takes to render. Luckily I watched some tutorials and now it's rendering the fight quite quick now. I do hope I might get the fight out before Friday since I will go on a holiday trip with my family for a few days. The chances is low I will finish it before Friday, but I if everything goes right, UPAS 1 is right around the corner.
While the Gilmoretyrannus and Larsonvenator were false alarms and are not real, this new dinosaur is. Meet Norellraptor, a microraptorine dromaeosaurid from China.
Oh fuck, it happened. You see for the mast view months some people said that the two Nanotyrannus species are actually different dinosaurs and gave the name Larsonvenator and fucking Gilmoretyrannus and just today, it's finally finalize. Besides the names being genuinely garbage, I doubt these two dinosaurs will be valid and I believe these species will get lump back to Nanotyrannus.
Ok I'm actually pissed, today I finally finished rendering Duriavenator vs Argyrosaurus. I was happy since I could finally release it, but of course, there's a shit ton of problems. The biggests are the dinosaurs are always under the ground or not correctly in the camera's view, all the effects won't appear and the worst one is the fact it keeps flickering from light to dark constantly and it's so bad it would basically cause epilepsy. It's going to take a while, but I have time to work on it since I'm not busy with anything else currently.
Update on Duriavenator vs Argyrosaurus. I'm rendering the fight right now. It will take a while because due to my crappy laptop, Blender crashed regulary when I'm rendering the fight. Luckily it does render tons of frames before crashing and usually saved it in a file. The thing is, Blender has many rendering options, I use evee, but it crashes constantly and the quality isn't 100% the best. Cycles despite the higher quality renders, is much less laggier and doesn't crash. The problem is I think I need a stronger computer to render it since it takes FOREVER to render, like 1 frame per 2 hours long. Now the quality of the animation, well I do want to say it is my second attempt at making 3D animation, so there will be visual errors, model bugs because of the rigs and stiff animation. I'm constantly experimenting what frames per second works the best. This is also the first time I properly used cameras so it's kinda janky. The animation itself is short, but that's mainly due to the frame rates per second. The most common fps is 24 fps, but I heard 60 fps is the better option and the fight would be nearly 2 times longer than it actually is right now. I'm saying this since I don't want people to think it's the same quality as Pong's animation. Like this is my second animation or first properly made animation, of course it won't be as good as an actual animation team that have more than a decade of experience of doing animation. Also worth noting I am getting a better computer soon since this one I have is pretty fucked up and hopefully the new one won't lag if I'm rendering stuff so yeah, that's about it.
So Duriavenator vs Argyrosaurus is nearly finished, well the animation is nearly finished. I just need to smooth some stuff up, find out how to add blood particles and then add cameras which is something I'm kinda scared of (it's way harder than you think). I've been recently thinking about the next UPAS fight and tho I planned a fight out (Tyrannosaurus vs Tanius), I'm thinking what should the next UPAS fight be. I planned Tyrannosaurus vs Tanius to be the next fight, heck Indoraptor even created the design for Tanius for me, but I've been thinking about more match ups like bringing back Pycnonemosaurus vs Piatnitzkysaurus. So you guys can choose which fight should the next one be (I might do the losing fights in the future.)
