[Episode Elnath] Progress Update XV

Greetings,

the lewd scene is nearly done. I decided to add a few small things to make it a bit longer but it's close to be finished. I tried a bit more around with the animations in octane and got pretty stable workflow without crashes... at least for now. I did a bit of coding for the audio handling and will have to do some more coding before the update can drop.

Audio-Handling

Well, I have re-written most pats of the audio-handling. I have more control over each channel and I wrote the code to be easier to expand, in case I need some more channels and It's overall less complicated than before and better readable in case I need some adjustments or have to look for bugs. There will be a migration-script for save-files with the old handling that will run in the background once you load an old save-file, so there is nothing to do on players side. The player shouldn't notice anything at all.

Animations

I almost finished posing the last animation. The last one keeps me a bit bothering. Once I fixed the wiggling of one limb, another one starts to act up. However, if I can't fix it completly I will have to trick a bit with the framing and have to choose another angle, even if I don't really want to, but I can't keep trying to perfect it, not in DAZ, at least it's not worth the time any more at some point.

Had to do some re-renderings on the other animations as there were more artifacts than I allow myself to overlook.

Once I'm done with rendering the main animations shot and If I'm busy with other tasks and I want to render a few more angles of the animations I already have, if time allows me to.

Streaming

I was thinking about if I want to do some streams when I'm working on the project. Like when I'm building a new environment or creating music. I don't want to do streams that contain spoilers. I don't know yet if I really want do that and if I would, to which tier it would be bound. I wouldn't do regular streams, just when I feel like to. So no schedule for this anyway.
