Sometimes animating feels like wrangling a sea of spaghetti...

Here's a small peek behind the curtain of 3D production - showing the various notes I give myself to keep improving Sunspark. If you're curious!
Huge shout out to @rndr.bsky.social! Each one of these 454 frames would have taken an hour to render on my PC with multiple 3090s! On the Render Network it's only taken a fraction of the time. 🤯 And this is just one of 150+ shots for my short film Sunspark.
I made 2 distinct piles so not every single pile is the same. Then from those 2 piles I made the rest as instances of the original two. Instances are less resource-heavy for C4D to think about. But even with this trick, navigating the scene does become laggy unless I turn them off.
