Pics 191: In the Mood to Render
Added 2025-01-31 22:00:05 +0000 UTCI posted this picture already online. It's a render I made this week for Date Ariane 2. With the Remastered version, I created a lot of foreground pictures of Ariane with blank backgrounds to use throughout the game. A lot of these are color corrected by the game, lowering brightness and contrast when you move from indoors to out. I managed to make new versions of around 136 of these foregrounds.
The above is the new "stop there" pose that Ariane does when you ask or do things she doesn't like. I replaced the invisible background with a yellow HDRI to get this still. It so fits the mood I've been feeling with what's going on in my country the last couple of weeks.
Anyways, I felt like making more "mood" pictures to make me feel better. Here's a test picture I made for Dating in a World on Fire of Alex and their partner Harry, who you meet if you went to the River Walk path in Chapter 1. Spoiler: They're a couple of underground hackers who met in London but now live in Haven in the bar basement. Still writing their story, but I like thinking about what these two are really up to.
Been thinking about my public "Picture of the Week" and I'm not ready to release new chapter 2 DiaWoF pictures or Date Ariane 2 picture until closer to release, which is months away. So I made some random pictures for fun using DAZ resources I haven't used yet. These will likely be the pictures for February, so you get to see them first.
As for February goals, I'm working on DA2 again this month. I want to do all the "pre-dinner" stuff, and if I have time, the dinners themselves. Hopefully I'll be in the mood for writing, so I can work on DiaWof chapter 2 stuff for March.
