They told her she can't expect the world to do whatever she pleases. But she knew better.
--- Gosh, I've definitely outdone myself. ;v; The vision-execution ratio is about 90%, and that is just the best feeling ever. It happens so rarely tho. ;a; I guess I should also mention that this piece probably wouldn't happen at all (or at least would not be as pretty) without the awesome support I'm getting on Patreon!
A GIGANTIC THANK YOU TO ALL PATRONS OMG SO DAMN LUCKY TO HAVE YOU THIS NEW WORKSTATION IS MAGIC
This piece has: - around 250,000 individual hairs and grass blades - three densely-tessellated and displaced objects (one of which is insanely tessellated) - a particularly computationally-demanding shader on the majority of the image (ocean)
Took 11 GB of RAM at rendertime, and rendered for 2 hours, 14 minutes, 28 seconds.
Old workstation would nope out as soon as it tried loading that into memory, because 8 GB of ram, only 4-5 of which was available for rendering. And it would take about 4 hours to render. And it wouldn't handle this kind of hair/grass at all, so that would look much worse too. Progress is soooo goooood.
Ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha 11 GB of RAM... Im trying to render something with free 2 GB of RAM :D I have to render character and background separately :D

I know this pain so well. XD At some point, I had to reboot my computer to completely purge memory before even being able to attempt a final render of ANYTHING. And even then I usually had to render characters and backgrounds separately. AND IT STILL HAD THE TENDENCY TO CRASH DUE TO LOW MEMORY
Good times! :^D Very adventurous! :^D

That would take a while. Yeesh. Glad you're using a new rig now! =^^= Still... taking that long... When the render is that slow, all you can do is start singing...
PEANUT BUTTER RENDER TIME PEANUT BUTTER RENDER TIME
...somebody slap me...

I had a complete animation take almost an entire month to render once, but that was.......... oh dear... about 14 years ago... On the bright side, the computer kept my apartment warm enough that the furnace didn't have to run that winter! =^^=
