Update on my #blender #3dmodelling #occultart: I finished rendering 93 frames (62% of the full animation) in an evenly-spaced manner. The resulting video from those frames alone seem enough for the animation to unfold, so I'm not doing the full 150 frames, it's been two days. So here it is, the cinematic animation I made. Chances are this post will be invisible (as I've properly flagged it as NSFW) and reach no one, therefore a post to the void, but I'm posting it anyway.

For future reference, the following is how I did the rendering and the animation. Rendering the frames in an unhurriedly manner while pushing a notification to phone (using Ntfy) to keep track of the rendering progress: for frame in {1..150..7} # Increase the starting number gradually after each round do if [ -f "./frame_$frame.jpg" ]; then echo "File $frame exists, skipping" else echo "Frame $frame will be rendered" curl -k -X "PUT" https://$NTFY_HOST/blender -d "Started rendering frame $frame..." sleep 1 blender -b $BLENDER_PROJ -o './frame_#.jpg' -F JPEG -f $frame -E CYCLES -t 1 LAST_RET=$? echo "Finished rendering frame $frame with retcode $LAST_RET" curl -k -X "PUT" https://$NTFY_HOST/blender -d "Finished rendering frame $frame with retcode $LAST_RET" sleep 1 fi done curl -k -X "PUT" https://$NTFY_HOST/blender -d "Finished the entire Blender rendering"Generating a video out of the available frames: ffmpeg -r 15 -f concat -safe 0 -i <(find -iname "*.jpg" -not -size 0 -printf "file '$PWD/%f'\n" | sort -h -t_ -k 2) -r 15 -c libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 20 lapse.mp4 # smaller crf will lead to bigger files, adjust as needed
