 Hope you have a happy and peaceful 2023.

Happy new year 🎉.. traditionally late as i needed a few days to recover!:) Wanted to add some animated fireworks on a older static piece i did 2 years ago. Started off well and finished quickly.. then i started animating the characters and got carried away. All done in Blender using Eevee. Post in Premier. Higher rez video below  Some issues: Subsurf modifier makes the render speeds jump up astronomically. Went from 5 sec per frame.. to 30 sec per frame. Transparency modes other then clipped shows up in volumes. Odd reflection issues.

Max and Chloe kissing in the new year. Revisited and older render and used Blender Eevee. For the most it worked very well.. fast to render and makes viewing a joy.   Issues i encountered using the beta 2.80 Render layers not all there.. really needed to separate the fireworks collection and have it render on a transparent background so i could apply effects separately. Animating bones/armitures slows down the general performance of the eevee viewport. Lamp light leaking through. Particle issues: Particle node not working, controlling age, lifetime etc of particles not working. Children particles wont take on parent attributes, ie color change Glare node in composite mode was causing white noise in several frames when animating. Anisotropic not working in principled node, at least i could not see an effect. Faked it.

Happy new year all, wherever you are stay safe. Other then the title and logo this was all done in Blender. Full over at deviantart

Where else but Chloe's truck. Hope you all recovered ;) 1440p Deviantart
