Alright, here's a brief sign of live from me. I know I didn't show up the last fucking months since the release of Episode 3. The reason why is - I made a huge mistake. I went back to a job I knew would break me, because I forgot how soul-crushing this work was - and because they placed a truckload of money up my driveway. My heart isn't made of stone either! Fortunately I only have to do this till the end of july, then I'm free again and will hopefully be able to tackle the new episode.
Plus, as some of you might have catched: Genesis 8 is on the way. I still use Genesis 2 (which is actually just 2 Generations behind, they went from 2 to 3 to 8...) and I'm usually ranting like grandpa grumpy about every new generation of Genesis the throw out into the market to press the last penny out of the users. And so my blood pressure went haywire when they announced the new generation.
Still, grinding my teeth I have to admit, that the quality of the new Generations, especially the Translucency, Bump and Glossyness are pretty amazing. AmGiPi made an amazing resume of it. You can read it here, if you're interested. So I'm thinking about switching to the new generation as well, I actually planned to do so in the first place. I just never thought they'd release it so quickly. There's still much to consider, as it'll be a huge effort and will cost me a lot of money (pose converters, UV map converters and morph converters all cost extra, of course X( ) and if I do it, it'll be only after the release of Episode 4.
That's all from my side. I hope you can forgive me my long absence. Aaand because I know this day has a special meaning for our U.S. viewers, enjoy Scarlett in her star-spangled bikini ;)
