ithikaWhoo!
After that 5:30 am madness (I re-read that entry, lol sleep deprivation is like crack... I imagine), everything turned out really well in the end.
I couldn't figure out how to work the Render Farm (an amazing group of 16 servers which just render stuff through the network, it is pretty pro), because, funnily enough, the instructions on the resource drive were completely different to what needs to be done to start the render farm.
I didn't read them wrong, I read (and followed) the directions correctly. This amuses me to no end (now).
So I went to have a nap at 7 am (in my car.. man my car is awesome) and then at 9am went back and spoke to Jamie (father-god of the Render farm) and he set it all up for me so it would work. After that it was all sweet.
I did 25 Renders in an hour. 25 A3 renders.
For people perhaps not so familiar with the world of 3d rendering, it takes my computer roughly one hour (sometimes one hour 20 minutes) to render an A4, relatively low-complexity model. The Render farm was doing more complex, larger, higher resolution renders. It was awe-inspiring.
In the end I didn't make it into the printer queue on time for those renders (only two pages, the other 13 printed out fine), so I (surprisingly calmly now that I think about it) printed out the pages on A3 in colour, then drove home to snap to print out the two pages on A2 there. I would have paid the $20/page at that stage, but they have a 3 day turnaround for A2 colours, and no urgency fee avaliable. So I printed them in Black and white - $10.
It doesn't really make sense to me, but I feel as though there is some kind of extortion happening there. Anyway.
So yeah, really happy with how folio turned out. I am officially a participating member in the world again (though, I am in Bunbury), and yeah. No longer going insane with stress, joy!
Went to Nandos after Folio with some architecture buddehz. It was really fun, and funny because we were going to go out afterwards, but we unanimously piked because we were all too tired. Well, it amused me.
Soyeah... :D
Hope everyone's end of semester and exam study and stuff is going well.
Hopefully some of my work and my studio's work might be in the exibition at the end of the month. :) That would be really cool... :D
