Sooooo...on the plus side, I think the attached render may be one of the best I've ever managed. I've also managed to complete 2.5 scenes, in addition to the various needed renders for the Pet Shop itself and another semi-new location.

On the less positive side. That, unfortunately, marks me as being about 3 days behind schedule. A day and a half of that was my own fault, for forgetting that I would need to figure in time for a significant number of non-scene renders this time. The other day and half, though...was simply longer than average renders. The simple truth is that my current hardware limitations make it frustrating, at best, to try to estimate how many renders I can get done. I can only make my best guess...and that guess isn't very accurate.
I honestly have no idea what this is going to mean for the update. I'll probably end up cutting it from 12 planned scene to 10, unless something breaks my way. But as for when exactly it will be finished, I can't say just yet. Likely not until at least the 17th or so :-(. I admit I'm starting to get really frustrated with my current limitations, since they're almost entirely hardware related, at least as far as Haven's Port goes.
