[Episode Elnath] Progress Update VII

Added 2022-05-08 18:12:07 +0000 UTC

Greetings,

it's already the 7th progress update and it's still far away from a finishing line. Progress is somehow slower than than in both previous updates and I'm not really sure why. I feel like I didn't put any less time into working on the project. I'll have to take a look at process optimization.

Anyway, for this week I know the reason of the slow progress because I was just to busy with real life and real life job. I got a new task at work and had to get into it and did a few extra hours and like I said, real life kept me very busy as well. However I still had time to work on the project.

I've wrapped up the first few important dialogue scenes and to be honest I got a bit bored with rendering expressions / dialogues and needed some alternation. So I started to model another environment that I wanted to do anyway. In this environment the lewd scene will take place for the upcoming update. It's quite fun to create a new environment and I like how it's coming along. I added a few WIP screenshots of the location and even my reference collection. The layout of the apartment is completed and I just work on the details right now. Next steps would be geometry baking, unwrapping and basic shading. Then I will split the scene in smaller pieces, so I can easily reuse smaller assets in other scenes. Export everything. Import everything in Daz3D and start shading with octane.

Till next week.
