Special Render Set: Alexis (Devlog 12)
🕑 Added 2025-01-26 18:39:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Finally, here is the render set featuring Alexis... the second-place winner in our recent poll. In case you missed the Rin set: Special Render Set: Rin (zip file attached). Again, they are a mini storyboard - view them in numbered order ;)
I am slowly reaching the final scenes for the Serenity update. And I am hopeful that by next weekend I'll have a release date for the beta. It has taken me a bit more time working on some of these animations, plus offering options to choose from on about half of them pretty much doubles the work. So that is partially why this is taking longer than any of us would like. In the end, I'm hoping it pays off.
One of the reasons my graphics work takes so much longer is partly due to my use of some graphics settings that allow for a slightly higher resolution skin for my characters. Mainly wet skin. I will be making a change. Before I started using that thing, I had very few issues with lights messing up when reloading scenes to continue work. That one issue has caused me so much trouble - having to restart scenes completely over and work on them (leave Studio running 24/7) until they are complete just to avoid that- it isn't going to work for me anymore. After this update, I'll be switching things back to the way they were many updates ago. With what I've learned about lighting and filling up a scene since then, I don't think you will even notice a difference to be honest. The girls will still have the nice skin too, just not the one requiring me to use certain settings in my graphics plugin. So, starting with the next update to Last Human, I'll be using a much less complicated preset with a few adjustments, and setting up all of my characters with the normal high detail skin (basically the same skin they have now, just without the wet droplets/glossiness). I will still use this feature for special renderings, especially wet scenes though.
Anyway, back to work. It's going to be a busy week between full-time job and working to complete this damn update. Hang in there! Love you all, ...Fire

Thanks so much Fire. Glad you're not overcomplicating your graphics any more. It should make things easier for you, and I doubt I would be able to see the difference any way!

Looking Fantastic N2 :-) So so much looking forward to the next update. Also hoping your doing well now and that your putting time aside for yourself. All work and no play can make anyone a dull boy or girl.
