Updated my Minty ref sheet, finally added a reverse side for the mane.

Random discovery of the night, I already knew that Apple computers had a feature where the Caps Lock wouldn't engage if you tapped it too fast to prevent accidental presses.
It seems like the feature is in the keyboard itself, I thought that was just part of the OS.

Fun fact, this is how the ponies look like when they're out of frame in shots with a wide lens.

Well that's weird. Rendered this plate on Luna and it ended up with lots of weird reflection artifacts.
Gonna need to rerender it on Celestia to fix that.

Making backups for the new project.
Your eyes don't deceive you, this project is already the biggest project ever.
I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 800GB at the end of the production.

So it seems like I got something worth celebrating. I got almost eight minutes worth of animation done for the project so far, and at least five of it rendered.

Little flashback to this shot from The Fall of Sunset Shimmer.
Not a particularly special shot, but I had to comp it on my laptop while staying over at a Ramada hotel that the Red Cross had to cover because we had a prolonged power outage in the middle of winter.

So it's still pretty cold outside, I'm heating up the apartment with doing raytracing on CPU on an old computer.
Each frame takes an hour, and it's not even a complex render.
