Dev Update - 2024/04/12
🕑 Added 2024-04-12 11:07:27 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Lots of work this week with kinda slow progress. At least number-wise.
The reason is simple: I need to set up all environments for the coming scenes.
While the first half of Chapter 5 used environments I already had set up (except for one), the second half is all new environments.
So I spent pretty much the whole Wednesday and Thursday setting up 2 big environments. At least one of them will come in again later in this Chapter.
The other one gave me more headaches because it exceeded 24 GB VRAM.
Some DAZ vendors seem to think everything needs to have 8k textures. Even vases... 5 maps per vase...
So I spent half a day editing textures to make them 4k and, oh wonder, you don't see a difference. I swear, DAZ has zero quality control.
In general, the numbers for the coming weeks will probably be a bit lower than the past several weeks because of the whole environment topic.
Thinking about the planned scene for the end of the Chapter, I'm already getting headaches...
So the numbers for this week:
69 new static renders for a total of 1225
0 new animations
163 new lines in the script file for a total of 3279
Next week's work will mostly focus on rendering and writing. And setting up environments, but those will be easier to set up at least.
Have a nice weekend, guys.
Cheers,
Ceolag

Thank you and true, the one who's putting the most pressure on me is myself :-)

I'm not in any hurry. Don't stress yourself out too much. From what I've seen in other games, DAZ does come out looking good for more serious looking renders. For those who want it to come out looking "cartoony", HS or HS2 are fine. Hang in there and keep plugging!
