Hi all, I would like to share with you a small animated card for the holidays.
Made entirely in Blender 2.80!
Small disclaimer: I am not an animator. This is only my third attempt to an animation, so don't be too critical, I am aware of all the mistakes;)
I used 2.80 because I wanted to give EEVEE a try, but unfortunately I got some horrible artefacts in the snowman, which I couldn't get rid of, so I decided to switch back to Cycles.
After heavily reducing the amount of polygons and simplifying the shaders I managed to render with an average of about 2 minutes per frame on my CPU!
After 4 days and 300 crashes I finally finished rendering...
But the workflow in 2.80 is really a lot faster once you get used to it, so: thank you developers and thank you Ton Roosendaal for making this possible in the first place!
Enjoy.
