EP1 STATUS UPDATE

Hey everyone, how’s it going? Time for another status update.

This week I worked on four different scenes. I’m going to switch things up a bit and talk about each scene while showing some spoilers—let me know what you think, sounds good?

The first one was a scene I honestly thought would be the easiest—just a regular conversation at a bar. But I’ve got to admit, it ended up being the most time-consuming. No matter what I did, the lighting just wouldn’t work. I tweaked it several times and it still didn’t look quite right. So I decided to leave it as is for now and move on to the next scenes so I don’t fall behind. If I have time later, I’ll give it another shot.

After that, I worked on two other scenes that were much simpler. I won’t spoil too much about what’s going on in them, but they didn’t give me too much trouble. They’re not final yet—still need some lighting adjustments and maybe a few texture tweaks—but overall, I’m happy with how they’re coming along.

To wrap things up, there was one more scene that was more action. It had very little dialogue, so it ended up being more dynamic, which meant the posing took quite a bit of work. The lighting still needs some polish, but overall I think it’s headed in a good direction.I’m not going to show any spoilers for these just yet, since they’re still in the render queue. I’ll probably save them for the next update.

In total, I made 126 renders over the past 14 days.

Also, now that 3.5 is out, I’m starting to actively prepare for the release of Episode 1 of The Red Veil. The first change I want to make is on Discord. I’d like to communicate with you all more frequently, and I’ve got some important updates to share in the coming weeks. I have zero experience with Discord, but I noticed a lot of people follow AVNs there, so let me know: what channels do you think I should create first?
