Not much to show this week, but I wanted to drop a note anyways! The team is back from the holiday break and we've been rendering about a 3rd of the film in FINAL 4K quality (some shots took about 4-8 hours per frame!). We're continuing our quest to finish the film this month. Stay tuned and happy new year!
Back from outer space!

A lot of things changed last minute at the end of 2025 from my side, as we were rushing to make shots ready to render in final quality over the holiday break. I'm very happy how much we could still push the appeal of the film and get a head-start on rendering. This was mainly about finally going back to work on the shading of Critter and do several fixes and improvements, but there are also countless other small tweaks and improvements that impact the overall look of the film.
