UNSTOPPABLE =D

[@JayLS]

Thanks very much :)

[@WeeDefault]

This is amazing, how long does each clock take?

[@JayLS]

Thanks! :) It really depends on the complexity of the set. This one took about a week of work here and there (tweaking the old model, not from scratch) then around six hours of rendering altogether. Blurry, reflective surfaces like the desktop and the ring around the clock really slow things down.

Astounding work

[@JayLS]

Thanks Adam :)

@@JayLS Sorry I missed your reply. Have you ever considered tweaking the clock lights so that some of them are noticeably dimmer than others? I think by this era they stuck out like a sore thumb from episodes I've seen. Then again, it didn't take them long to start fading. That would be the cherry on top. This is wonderful, though. The wall pattern looks sensational and the lighting looks precisely how it did in early 2009, so hats off to you :)

@@AdamBeachDesign Funny you mention that as I was watching a 1990 clip just yesterday and noticed some of the bulbs were dimmer than others. It was quite common, and I remember a couple of times where bulbs were out altogether. I will try it and see how it looks. Thanks again - that's high praise about the wall pattern as yours looks spot on. :)

​@@JayLS Was it the clip uploaded a few days ago? I noticed it too, particularly the dimness of the 21st light, which I Initially thought was the quality of the tape. Ironically, it looked better in my opinion as you could distinguish the individual segments. They tend to just blend together at the same brightness.

[@JayLS]

​@@AdamBeachDesign Yep, that's the one. Around 11-16 also looked dimmer to me, but it can be hard to tell whether it's just the tape. The new clock is surely more efficient in this regard, though even with that I remember a light blinking and going out quite early on. They used the zoomed in numbers shot during letters rounds to keep the faulty light out of view. That clip also shows that the tiles were changed mid-series, earlier than I thought.
