The Case of C Dev Report #3

Hello everyone!

A new dev report for The Case of C is here, but this time it brings some bad news. We've found some problems since we started to work on the art side of the project. These are the main ones:

1-Skin material for the 'guy' it's too dark causing his genitals to look like a piece of dry wood. We found a way to fix it, but now, we have the tedious task of being updating every scene (with the new materials) before rendering it. See the image below to find a comparison. It's not perfect but at least the dick looks fleshier and not the trunk of a death tree.

2-Other 'bug' more problematic is the lighting. In some scenes with some cameras, we found a lot of weird artifacts happening. Take a look at the image below. Marked with a red circle is one of those artifacts. As far I discovered, these and other, even more noticeable, are caused by the Distant Light. This means that I need to go on every camera of every Scene looking for these glitches and swapping the Distant Light with a Point Light, that needs to be configured and positioned manually (differently on every situation).

3-And last but not least, the worst of the problems: the character models aren't responding as expected. And there is no solution for this. The only thing we can do is to use our imagination for posing and the position of cameras in order to hide those problems the models have, because the only fixable thing was the genital rig for the guy fixed by Meguido.

And with all of this said, what are the progress?

I did a small table with a list of all scenes and every phase that all of these scenes (except Scene 0) have to pass through, check it:

-Blue square means: finished

-Green square means: WIP

-White square means: nothing done

As you can see there a lot to do but I hope to have better news for the next report.

And that's all for now about this project. See you soon <3
