Quick Update

Hey everyone! 

I hope you had a great week! 

Mine was... definitely not enough sleep 🤪 We still need to find a rhythm with the little one. Also had all kinds of general checkups (all fine!) this week so I was not able to do a lot of work.

Episode 7:
I did however get the Polygon Version of Alexandra's Hair, but it was broken and I still need to get an update. UVs (important for texturing) are missing that's why I can only show them in grey.

What I am also currently doing is re-ordering all the animations in the interactive version. We messed up a basic structure thing (well, part of the learning Unreal process) that caused the hair (and other things) to be disabled at the end of each shot and loaded at the beginning of the next one. So you constantly had objects pop on&off. Very annoying...

Other than that I should get the final Audio & Music end of next week and then we can wrap the interactive version up. We still don´t have a fix for the Groom-Hair, so PlanB is to use Polygon-based hair. But the coder wo made the cumshots will be back beginning of February and can then do some more testing. I hope we can fix it! So ideally middle of February the interactive Version is done and we can move on.

Reminder: please keep in mind that the interactive version is just a Bonus to the movie! Because I got a couple of questions of a movie-maker version and some other things. 

The interactive Version is really only with very basic customization (color changes) and to test the performance of UE 5.1 with different setups. The poses will be added to the PoseViewer.

PoseViewer:
I am half way done refining the animations for the PoseViewer. Once they are all exported we need to implement them in the PoseViewer and set them up. We will stick to Unreal 4.27 for the next update and then start testing with UE 5.1, also considering the Feedback we will get from you guys from EP7 Interactive. 

Car-Mini-Episode:
Script is almost done. That will be a fun little sequence. 3 poses, 1 cumshot, a bit of story. I am actually very much looking forward to working on that.

Next Game:
Once my Project-Manager friend will be on board (middle of February) we will start setting up the whole pipeline for everything, brainstorming etc. 

That´s it from my side for now! 

Have a great week, stay safe, healthy and get enough sleep! 😋

Best,
PM & Team
