FX for the week is now locked! The suggested fern did not make it into the renders, the look was something I couldn't complete for our quick turn around. However, the group finalized our render layer list!
We've gone through a lot of back and fourth over the weeks when it came to our renders. It was something we all struggled to work through, but we came out successful for the end. Major shout-out to Yiyi for researching into the 'Render Geometry Setting' node and helping the group set up the rest of the shots.
As a team, we had never touched render layers until this project. It was a major learning curve, but we all learned so much from it. I feel a little more confident in it with every passing day!

FX is prioritized to be locked by the end of this week in order to give LookDev and Comp more time to finalize our deliverables! Small tweaks and touch-ups were made early this week. For starters, I fixed the faceting on one of the branches in shot03:
(Old vs. New)
This troubled vine was created out of a collision problem the group saw last week. Our vine was running through the table geometry, and so I went back in and adjusted the vine's collision objects. This changed the vine to curl up on the table let- but it also adjusts the positions of other vines. So it really comes down to making sure the new positions don't ruin the premade layout.
Also went back in and improved the geometry of shot04 vine as well:

Very excited about the additional baby fern idea! It was suggested to drop one in the foreground of shot03. Here's a rough animation and placement:
I'd like to keep messing with it until Wednesday (2/25). If the look isn't there then it'll be best to prioritize group deadlines and focus on our bigger picture.
