Rendering

All that is left to do now is to render the shots we need for the final film clip. We have created all the cameras we need in order to capture the shots we deem would be most appropriate. When rendering we need to make sure we are using the correct camera setup, inserting the start frame and correct end frame. When rendering the colour pass we need to make sure that default lighting is turned off, final gather is selected and the camera has been updated to read the physical sun and sky presets.

So far rendering is going well. It is taking roughly 1 day to render a shot completely with the colour and occlusion passes. I fear however that we will not have time to render off shots of the interior of the hotel, despite the fact that a room of the hotel has already been modeled.

After a render is completed I will pass the targa sequence of both the colour and occlusion pass to Alex so that he can begin compositing the shots using adobe after effects. He will be in charge of overlaying the occlusion pass upon the colour pass and inserting a sky when needed.
