Croppity crop crop. Fun fact : Even scaled down, the gutters on the old version are still bigger than they are for the second edition.

20070731 : Minor tweaks. Previous version here.

===================================================

A girl I dated in late 2k4 / early 2k5 did that boob thing quite a bit. She had a thing for 'em, or something. So that's where that comes from.

Also in the fourth panel : I may upload a background fix at a later date. I'd say "tomorrow", but see, raytracing sucks. I got the panel render I needed in 34 minutes using shadow maps, which look like ass (to me, anyway - even after some touchup work), and I started the raytraced render around ten to four.

That was oughly seven hours ago, and it's just under 1/4 of the way done.

The original plan was to take more time with this page and maybe ease it out on Thurdsay, but my bank account inverted itself (went negative, thank you speakeasy :P), so I'm kickin' it electrominimal until Friday.

Tomorrow I intend to attempt to start renders on the next page of ATC and start making Serious Headway on DCR.

Until next time, THERE'S BOOB GRABBING ON THE FRONT PAGE. :O

===================================================

20050825 : The raytraced version of panel four finally finished rendering. Left to right : Shadowmapped, Raytraced, and the Difference between the two.

  

Render times (all other settings identical, rendering with the "sun" raytraced, as the application fell out of memory with any of the other lights set to do the same) :

00:34:44 for shadowmapped image.
25:49:25 for raytraced image.

No wonder many of the CAM kids I knew switched to Graphic Design when EDMC dropped the workload bomb on us our 4th and 5th quarters. :P
