• Dionys Progress

Making good progress on the Dionys set; 252 out of 367 renders are complete. I do want to clarify, at the end of the day the set will NOT be 367 renders. Some of these renders are layered and composited together to make one render and some of these renders are also scrapped outright.

I will have to halt rendering and editing on this set soon, to work on the Christmas and New Years' projects. But we made some good progress on it.

(MORE) Realistic Genital Sizes Addendum

For additional clarity:

Wording.

I said "MORE realistic". Not "realistic". I'm not going for absolute realism where I'm simulating blood pressure or what not.

I chose the wording of "more realistic" because I thought the word "smaller" would get people even more riled up or scared that I'm going into 1cm-2cm territory.

To be clear, "more realistic" means a "shrinking them TOWARDS realism" or "a bit smaller".

[POLL] (more) Realistic Genital Sizes?

I did this poll in the past -- I think a few years back, but maybe the audience has changed (I sure have) or maybe there's new people etc.

Should I model the genitals of my characters to a more realistic size? Like, Claudia is impossible to receive oral. Which I would like to do, sometimes, you know?

I'm just going to kind of use this poll as a guiding rod, not immediatel...

[WIP] 20/11/2023

Collection of edit work-in-progresses from the last couple of days.

I'm focussed on rendering the Dionys set for the coming weeks and writing, so I don't have much visual updates for you. Just know that I'm still working on everything.

If you want a quick look at ongoing projects, there's a pinned message in the Discord server.

[WIP] 13/11/2023

• Updated Madison's skin shaders and added new genitals.

• Adding in new eye shaders to all characters.
• Finished editing Rhiann's set.
• Focussing on editing and rendering the Dionys set the coming days.

[WIP] Ahnima Body & Body Hair Updated + Content (08/11/2023)

• Updated Ahnima to current standards.

• Added new foreskin.

• Changes to Ahnima's body hair, making the individual hair strands thinner, but adding in more for a denser, softer looking bush.

[WIP] Edits, Writing and Rendering (06/11/2023)

• Edits for various projects.

• Writing for main story.

[WIP] 03/11/2023

• Performed maintenance and clean up of my computer. It was very dusty inside and I also finally got around to cleaning up a lot of my file structures and ordered some files around. In the mean-time, I did find time to get some more renders in.

• Edits for Büla in the misty forest. These also serve as a way to test 8K-upscaled renders. We'll see if the increase in filesize is worth it.

• Updated Amaya to current standards.

• Update in progress for Ahnima. Unfortunat...

[WIP] 31/10/2023

• Edit Progress
• Büla updated to current standards and a quick render with her!

[WIP] 30/10/2023

• Additional details to Nina's house. Like opened delivery boxes. Further optimizations are made as well.

• Nina content.

• 8K Upscaling.

I'm experimenting with upscaling my 4K renders to 8K. I think the results are nice, but, obviously the file sizes are a lot bigger. You'd have to download larger files and from even more .zip files.

[WIP] 27/10/2023

Figured out what was really slowing the sample-rate down and creating noisy renders and previews. It was reflective and refractive surfaces like glass or windows having bump maps and normal maps.

Specifically the front window, where most of the light comes through and the ceiling lights were slowing things down a lot. So I removed a lot of unnecessary bumps and normals from various surfaces and optimized and categorized a lot of the models and props in this environment.

[WIP] 26/10/2023

• Mia updated with new shaders etc. Gave her jewelry a fresh coat of paint and added a necklace.

• Added new testicles and foreskin to Mia.

• Small changes to Linde's shaders and foreskin.

• Nina Content

[WIP] Edits • Nina Environment Tests (25/10/2023)

• Edit progress on multiple sets.

• Tested out Nina's updated model, shaders, genitals and environment.

It's very noisy, the environment. I suspect it's because of all the trash outside, but I'll have to nail that down before I start making things in here.

• Started updating Mia, but DAZ crashed, losing all progress. I'll try again tomorrow.

[WIP] 24/10/2023

• Edit Progress on Hiking and Rhiann's stable set.

• Finished reshading and optimizing the bed, desk, entrance, window and open storage areas of Nina's new home. Finishing up this round of optimizations and reshading.

• Started adding more buildings and roads on the outside of Nina's bed window and bathroom window.

I think I'll spend another hour or two tomorrow on fixing up the outside. Adding buildings and roads to fill any holes. Then I really want to test this envi...

[WIP] Nina's New Home Progress (23/10/2023)

• Added different shaders to Nina's new home. Optimizing and changing the look in general.

• Nina's long straight wall has new shaders and colours.

• Nina's bathroom has new tiling and the shower has been refitted accurately.

• Nina's toilet has been rotated to have a more interesting layout.

• Added the hallway outside with lighting. No details yet there.

• Redialed the lights for a more interesting, moodier atmosphere and to make it easier to add my...

[WIP] Edit Progress • Nina's New House Progress (20/10/2023)

Getting pretty far with Nina's new place. Unfortunately didn't manage to also get to work on Mia today, so she'll have to wait.

[WIP] Edits • Roads • Skin • Foreskin (19/10/2023)

Added a bunch of trash around the sidewalks and on the sides of the roads.

Only managed to finish one 3-way section, still need to add all of these details to all the other road models.

Made some normal map changes to Nina. Mostly smoothening areas around the lips and adding more wrinkles around the eyes.

The new foreskin frustratingly uses different UV's, but I managed to figure out a way to sort of blend textures between the shaft and the foreskin. This way, the transition...

[WIP] Finished Halloween Set • New Infrastructure (18/10/2023)

Halloween set is hereby finished. I'm releasing it tomorrow.

I've spent all day on some new road blocks and adding in details to prevent repetition once I start copying these street blocks. It's pretty dry work, but I need it for some specific scenes. These new ones have specifically off-ramps onto parking areas which I need.

I've added in all the road markings by hand and all the wear and tear. Making sure that the layering makes sense. It'd be weird if a puddle of water had a br...

[WIP] Last Halloween shot & Skin Changes (17/10/2023)

Finished the lighting and all the last details for the last Halloween shot. It's split up into four renders, two per version.

Also spent some time on some adjustments to skin shaders. For a few months now, I've been rendering at lower sample counts. From 15.000 earlier in the year to 7501 nowadays.

I think the difference is minimal, especially after denoising. But I had noticed some lack of definition in skin recently. So I'm bumping up some details in the skin a bit. This way, ev...

[WIP] Final Halloween Shot

Yeah, exhausted with this set. Feels a bit lost and "going nowhere". But it's... halloween, I guess.

Gonna finish this tomorrow and after that, I'm splitting my days between writing/rendering and prepping more environments and updating characters.

[WIP] Halloween Dancing (13/10/2023)

[WIP] Halloween • Genital Updates (12/10/2023)

• Feeling done with the Halloween set. Not my Holiday, not something I'm very interested in to begin with, so I'll be wrapping it up the coming days.

I have ideas for maybe three more, then I'll call it quits for that set.

• Started updating and adding foreskins and higher detail testicles to the character models. The rest I'll update when needed, but this is sort of how it'll look.

I still want to improve upon the veins on the shaft and the transition to the tip, but ...
