ISSUES

  • File size was half a GB, had to downscale resolution, eventually set a different encoder and cut the size down to .3 GB, allowed for a faster upload.
  • Voice Acting, Was unable to help this issue, however, I included Script at the bottom of video
  • Lighting Issues with Models, Scene: Colony, Issue: Light UV was broken and as a result light did not function properly, and reflections broken as well. Issue was not resolved but toned so it would not be all to noticeable. Can be fixed and I have fixed this issue before, but given the time constraints, I think it would be wise to mitigate this issue and pull more time and resources in other issues.
  • DIRECT X 12 crashing, or D3D Device removed issue. Problem remains at large as no solution seams to work, only setting the rendering to Direct x 11 seams to work, Identified issue as either a GPU issue/defect, or Vram exhaustion. Only way to combat is not use to many Metahumans in a scene, or lower render fidelity to save on V Ram. Unfortunately This issue cannot be fixed completely with my experience, only mitigated. (perhaps a change in gpu might be necessary?)
