Last Human stuff...
🕑 Added 2022-03-23 03:35:17 +0000 UTCSo, I have definitely been busy working on Serenity Chapter 2's first episode (and that is coming along well by the way). But as I said I would do; I have also taken small breaks (a day here and there) to work out the issues I ran into that caused me to put off work on Last Human. It is important to me that the vision I have for LH can be pulled off. That said, I've had to abandon the use of an external software for the space scenes as I had previously planned after finding it just wasn't going to work out the way I thought. The mismatch between the incredible graphics from that just doesn't look right mixed with HS2 graphics. Not saying that HS2 graphics looks bad... but there is a level of "realism" in the other software that is just too noticeable to use.
So, now I'll be focusing on what I can create myself in HS2. There are some very complicated scenes planned for LH and in order for me to reliably produce this thing, I have to pre-make many base maps (scenes). For those, I am still looking for some custom assets, and I'll be tediously "building" structures from scratch where I can't find what I want. As some of you may know who have used HS or HS2 (or even AI), it can take a long time to get things to look exactly right. But once I have enough pre-built scenes created that I feel like I can work with them through a few episodes, then I'll actually start to render scenes for Episode 1 of LH.
The image attached is just a simple rocket blasting off from Earth. I have 9 versions of that same shot (different skies, different effects, blah blah fucking blah) but that is what I do (even with Serenity) sometimes. I'll make several then pick the one I like best. And even then, I may still make a lot of adjustments. And then I also debate on animating that blast-off... or not. I enjoy animations but creating them takes a long time. I may still choose to do that if I feel like it pushes the scene further. I usually reserve animations for lewd scenes, but I can see now that pushing myself outside of my comfort zone here might be the best option. We'll see though (if I can do it).
Anyway, just thought it was time I gave you guys some LH news so that you know I am actively working on that (on the side). It could be that after the first episode of Serenity chapter 2 is released, I may spend the next development period working on the first episode of LH. I never know though until the last minute - just depends on where I'm at and if I think I can get it done. At any rate, even if it's a while before episode 2 of LH is under development, I would really like to get the first episode out asap, so you guys get a nice introduction to that and what it's all about.
That's all I have for now. Back to work on Serenity C2. I'll post again soon!
