Small update

Hey everyone! So, Mondays are my weekly updates. Basically just inform you guys I'm still alive and overall an informative post of what's being worked on. As well as what is next in queue (script, code, renders, etc.). You'll see me occasionally pop in with something small to share. Usually a render for specific tiers.

So today is just one of those random small updates, however is shared with everyone because Zoe seemed to raise some controversy, haha. I'm going through the models and reviewing their textures, etc. To be honest, I really couldn't find anything wrong with Zoe's model at all. I did give her a chin job which satisfied my taste. But I believe some scenes she's in had some bad lighting. On top of that, I strongly believe June's room in particular was a bad choice for lighting. The shots looked great in the day time, where Paige asked June if she knew anyone for the pledge comp. Had a nice big source light behind the curtains which illuminated everything. But for night scenes, it was so hard to get good lighting in there for whatever reason. I had to use about 6 small lights. Versus Katy's room which only had one major light. Zelda's room which only had a few, etc. On top of this, her room in particular bloated the render time. Something about her room just did that. So, since I don't plan on officially starting work on Chapter 2's content until this coming Monday (posing/rendering), I'm going to see if I'm able to do a quick swap of June's room model for chapter 1 between now and Sunday. The way my workflow works, I should be able to find a better room and basically swap every shot with the new room and queue the renders. Hopefully being done with them before Monday.

During the cleanup, I found one of the test images used for the photo on Reina's desk. Katy before she grew into the Katy we all know and hopefully adore.

And for the Zoe fans :)

take care,
