Well, my progress has been pretty slow, but here's a new scene. You may recognise the environment from before. Well, I have been thinking about how best to take advantage of the tools in Blender. Blender has tools to make almost everything in 3D. Everything in Daz3d is made with softwares like Blender. However, having the tools does not mean I can produce quality content with them. Each area in 3D art is specialised. There are people that are specialised in modelling, texturing, design, anima...

I still have much to learn about animations in Blender before I can reach the quality of the other artists online, if I can reach them. However, I think this animation alone is already much better than all the my previous animations.

Devlog 56

Now that I'm more familiar with using Blender like Daz, which honestly does provide quite a number of advantages over Daz, I have started to make more scenes. I think the key is to mix and match whichever software does better in each area. Daz isn't all bad. It has many readily-available assets, and they can be ported to Blender for use, so I can take advantage of Blender's better capabilities, while having access to Daz's library of assets. The downside is that porting each asset takes more ...

I know my recent devlogs are all about me sharing features in Blender, because that's what I have been doing. Well, this time, it's about hair. This is the first hair I made using the new hair system in Blender. It doesn't look very good, but it means now I can use any hairstyles I am capable of making, and more importantly, keeping the hair colour consistent.

In Daz, every hair asset comes with its own set of colours, which essentially means it's impossible to get the same hair colour ...

Taking advantage of Blender's physics systems, I can finally add boobs physics in animations. You may have seen some boobs physics in other Daz animations, but I tried it, and I was unsuccessful in producing a good result. So here we are.

Devlog 53

One of the advantages of Blender over Daz3d is fluid simulation. While Daz3d has a plugin for fluid simulation, it is very primitive, because Daz3d is not designed for such features officially. For a game where milk is a central theme, fluid simulation is rather important.

Well, when it comes to fluid simulation, of course, there is also animation. So, this is a chance to test out temporal denoising, which is supposed to lower the render time of animations by a lot. But, as it turns out...

A guy told me he enjoys the scenes with milk more than scenes where the MC is spewing his world view. Well, I'd love to make more milk content but like I said, Daz3d is extremely limited in that aspect. But, since I am using Blender now, I can make my own models for milk content. Here is one such example, a huge milk tower in those dairy plants. We can finally scale up the milk production :).

Devlog 51

So as I said, I tried setting up a scene and rendering in Blender. The main reason for this is that Blender allows using RAM in place of VRAM for GPU rendering when you run out of VRAM, which is extremely helpful for less powerful computers. In comparison, in Daz, you can't use the GPU at all if you run out of VRAM. There are also lots of different things you can do in Blender that you can't do in Daz, such as making new objects.

But the downsides of using Blender are, that it takes a l...

Well, maybe Unreal Engine is out of my league. I have trouble in even getting a dialogue system to work in Unreal Engine. I mean, I do really want to make a full 3D game, but like I said before, I don't even know if it's doable for me. I'm probably going to keep trying to make some progress when I have more time, but it's probably best that I go back to Daz3d and Renpy for now.

I know I have wasted quite a bit of time trying these other tools, from Stable Diffusion to Unreal Engine, rat...

Devlog 49

Well, sort of a devlog. I said in the previous post that I was testing out Unreal Engine. So far this is what I have got. It's better than Daz3d in a number of areas. Having more lights doesn't decrease performance massively. Same with volumetric light. Animations are also much smoother.

I know there are quite a lot of concerns over the requirements to run an Unreal Engine game, because many other Unreal Engine games on F95 are terribly optimised. I am aware of that and I am trying to a...

New side project

Hey, sorry about the lack of updates recently. I wanted to wait until I have prepared more before making this announcement, but I think it would take a bit longer before I have something ready. For the lack of environments and props that I need, I have been looking into creating my own in Blender. For faster rendering of animations, more complicated lighting, and possibly even a playable 3d world of my game, I have been testing out Unreal Engine. This is a very daring step because there are l...

Getting confrontational

v0.5 is released to the public

This is an unfinished update so it's rather short, but I don't want to go on for too long without releasing anything so, here it is.

v0.5 is released in early access

Hi, it's been released. Check my Discord for my remarks on it. Thank you.

Devlog 47

Well, when you have complete control over the lighting, you can do some really dramatic shot. This is a classic menacing shot, where the majority of the face is covered in shadows, giving it a very skull-like appearance.

Devlog 46

Well, now that I'm back in Daz, I should be able to pick up the pace, but already I have run into some problems, such as extremely badly optimised props that made it almost impossible to render the scene. I had to find which assets were causing the problem and remove them.

And here we see a comparison between AI art and Daz3d renders of supposedly the same scene. Now, I'm sure I can do better lighting in Daz3d even with my poor skills, at the cost of exponentially higher render times. I...

Maybe I should take my words back from the previous devlog. I said AI art is not limited to making portraits. Well, that's true, there are many AI artworks that are not portraits, but it is mainly designed to make portraits, at least for now. It's also very hard to make exactly what you have in mind. It's also hard to fix the mistakes of the AI. The AI is always so stubborn that it refuses to fix something as obvious as patches on a wall, or that the road doesn't start from the door.  2023-07-19 21:36:29 +0000 UTC View Post

I have been learning about AI art. The main reason for that is that I feel limited by Daz3d, in terms of assets, such as environments, hair, clothing, so I have been exploring whether using AI art can help, or even replace Daz3d. Now, AI art can generate all sorts of art, from anime, to a specific art style, to photorealism. Daz3d is somewhat leaning towards photorealism, but not quite there, giving it a distinct appearance. Technically, AI should be able to generate art in the Daz3d style, i...

It takes a bit of work to tame a wild animal into a farm animal.

This scene turned out to be much longer than I expected, and I still haven't finished it yet.

Devlog 37

But we knew this would happen, right?

Devlog 36

A little dangerous there, Christina.

Devlog 35

Well, taming Christina proves to be a little bit difficult. I have written many scenarios for that but some of them are too wordy or boring. I don't this to be a repeat of the Emma scene, and the MC has to play into Christina's beliefs, while she won't accept whatever the MC says. It's certainly quite a challenge.

Devlog 34

Still got a sore throat and a runny nose, but I have pretty much recovered.

Anyway, well, it's a bit of a problem when a father and his child are fighting for the same food. But I guess that's why there are two tits?

I just contracted Covid

I just tested that I have Covid, but the symptoms are very minor. I just need to rest for 1-2 days before I start working on the game again. Thank you.
