I think I am going to stop the daily renders. The point of this exercise was to learn and work on a deadline, I feel like it accomplished that goal and I learned so much. Obviously I am not done learning, but I feel that doing the renders daily is really limiting me in terms of quality and scope. I have all kinds of ideas that I get excited about that I end up scrapping because I can't do them in one day. I'd rather put out more complex work that I am passionate about than post for the sake of posting. I thought I should go out with a bang though. So here is a video of that bang.

Flame from Embergen, exported it to Open VDB and imported it into Blender. I had to use an experimental build of Blender 2.83 to be able to import Open VDB. Both software I used in this instance were beta builds so there were some hiccups along the way. At the end though I thought I came out with a decent result.
