How's 2021 treating you? I must say, the news feeds seem very much 2020, but let's give it some more time and see where it goes.
On a good note, one of the recent DAZ/Iray updates did some magic and now I can definitely see some speed improvement on the rendering process. There's at least 30% decrease in the render time, if not more. I also worked a little to improve the cooling of my case, and took advantage of it to overclock the cards slightly. So that's having some impact as well. Or maybe it is the 2021 magic :) In any case, I'd take it.
I'm working on the small update to close the day properly. There are some sweet renders in it. When that's ready I'll continue working on the game. The next chapter of Paola will have to wait a little more.
I made the Update 0.40 available to all patrons. You can find it here. The Spanish translation is in it. There's a guy working on a French translation as well, but it's not ready yet. I haven't heard from the guy translating in Portuguese since I gave him the update, so I don't know when (and if) he'll finish it. I'll keep you posted.
The second image above is up-scaled from the 1080p to 4K with Gigapixel AI from Topaz Labs. Pretty impressive results. Maybe not as good as rendering it in 4K. But considering that it takes just a few second, while rendering this image in 4K would increase the processing time with a couple of hours.
Stay well, and thanks for the support.

A small update this month.

It's about a optional sex scene at the end of the day when she and Conner and back home. It fits well to a certain play-style.
stoperArt
Yep. Seems like Nvidia finally did some work on Iray.
Tesseract
So the end of the day will be a small update or will it be in the next update with the next day?

happy 2021! in my opinion you don't need to finish the update, in fact it ends with Jessica ending indie events so making renders where she just comes home (although she doesn't mind seeing them) I'd say maybe it's a waste. personally would take the opportunity to insert a nice twist.

If you're talking about DS 4.15, yeah I noticed a nice improvement in rendering times too. Good stuff!
