Episode 4, Update #5

-Development progress-
I've completed Ivan's opening branch and I'm starting Alexa's somewhere next week. They're taking a bit of time because of the amount of characters that are involved. I'm currently a little over halfway through the converged scene that happens right after you've played either of those branches. I know that Alexa is getting a lot of attention, but that will soon change when I'm finished with these scenes.
-Tech blurbs-
I've changed my lighting methods. It was driving me insane how inconsistent I had to work from scene to scene. Even within the same scene, there were always under-exposed or over-exposed parts of a render. The solution to this is to work with a realistic camera lighting setup and how it can automatically adjust to everything no matter where you look. This is known as an EV100 lighting setup (EV = Exposure Value). With this, I can render a dark or very bright part of a scene, while still retaining correct PBR materials responses. Unfortunately, the renders I've done for the scenes earlier in the episode aren't make use of that. I may decide to render them again at some point. For now I'll just keep moving forward, as its very tiring redoing the same renders.
-Special renders-
Looks like Rosie is going to be next! Still a few hours left for either Alexa or Lily to overtake Rosie but its unlikely, as only half of you vote! 馃檮
