Last week, I'd installed Windows on a new drive but couldn't access the old one that had my settings and programs and such. I tried various things and finally got into it on Wednesday. It doesn't seem like it would take that long, but I was doing things like running a troubleshooter with a Windows 10 installation disk. It said it could take an hour. Two hours later it was still running and time for bed. That's kind of how it went except the other attempted fixes didn't take that long.
I was also installing Unreal Engine to make book covers. It's a 100GB download. I got it finished over the weekend. Version 5.2 came out yesterday. I had to reinstall. I've been having to reinstall my old programs. Some of them are easy. Some require effort. It's been a hassle. I wanted to be able to boot two separate copies of Windows from two different drives, but the new Windows wrecked the old installation. Technically, Windows wrecked them both. I had to reinstall the new one after running the old one. I still don't have everything up and running, and I still don't have any book covers made. I'm still doing Unreal Engine tutorials. The only thing I have so far is a screenshot of the engine. :)
That's the default view more or less. I ran into an error message about video memory because my video card is old and needs replacing. Looking that up and fixing it is about all I've done with it so far. To make book covers I'll need to create an environment, which should be fairly easy. I've used BigWorld before. Making environments isn't rocket science. I'll also need to find some character models. That could be trickier, but there should be some free ones online...somewhere. I'm hoping for the best. Once the environment is made, it's a matter of placing the models and doing screenshots. Setting it all up would take hours for a professional. Thank goodness I'm not a professional.
Did I mention my book files are on the old drive? I'm glad I got access to it again.
Have a great weekend.
