Day 31

Mr Ron dropped by today to check on our individual progress for 2 weeks. I showed him my progress. I also showed him the instancing test I did on friday. His advice was to work a little on the instancing and start rendering out the dust and putting it all together to see how it looks. I encountered some problems when I am rendering the dust out. I do not know why everytime when I tried to render out the sprites, there is this problem. I couldn't seem to find the reason why this is happening. Below is the image I kept getting:

This is the render I will get and sometimes I will get this render:

I do not know why is it like that, even though I made sure everything is set correctly.

Not knowing why is it like that, I did another test. I opened a new scene and imported the geometry into the new scene. Then I did the same thing I did in the previous file and it works!

Below is the composited render:

DUST RENDER
The dust render took about 15mins.

FINAL COMPOSITED RENDER

Although it works, but I would still like to know why that problem I explained about keeps occuring.
