#CitiesForDaz : New version POLL!

What do you wish me to work on for your next version of #CitiesForDaz ?

( I'll do it all anyway, it's just a matter of priorities )

Stellar : Engulfing the Galaxy

There still are a few things you need to know about celestial bodies, and especially mine.

While a star needs fusion, I need...

Quality Time : my Tribute

"She took a step back and followed the tiny paratroopers with mischievous eyes as they drifted down past her beautiful face and struck the tan flesh of her chest, slipping down her generous curves into the dark crevice between her gigantic tits."

You have spoken : This patron goes "Subscription billing"

Thank you for your votes patrons !

Since you voted for this change, since those who've already subscribed won't see any change, and since this will avoid new comers from being charged twice...

The "Subscription billing" model will be effective as of now.

Now back to creation ! *grins*

#CitiesForDaz WIP : Day 81

This is getting exhausting.

In my every big projects, there's a moment when I've tested all the basic blocks of what's needed to bring my vision to life, when I know it's going to work and all there is to do is patiently work my way to the result, meeting so many repetitive steps along the way...

This is one such moment.

What I'm doing isn't very bright nor exciting. There's nothing new to it. It's boring and no one will notice it but me :
- Cleaning what I rushed to make...

A simpler way to charge patrons ?

Today, I stumbled upon this message in the settings of my patrons and well...
It says that "This is how patrons already expect to pay".

What do you think :
Is this how you'd like things to happen for you,
and for the new people joining here ?

Should we move to that new "Subscription billing" model ?

It seems like a good idea to me, but I'd like your opinion on...

#CitiesForDaz : Day 76

Day 76.

From A to I, I've built 9 blocks now, which are the basic units to create whole and vibrant cities the way I want to see them.
I added parks, an heliport ( Patron request I think ? ), plausible urban structures, retextured everything, cleaned up UV maps and the geometry, packaged it all...

I think I know where I'm going now.
- More "fillers" buildings : cities are not all tall and recognizable buildings, but the "fillers" ( Block G for instance ) need to remain div...

Have you...

... dreamed of me ?

Cities! WIP : Day 69

Well well !

Here's the creation log for day 69, already !

I set about organizing things better for the blender version. I still don't know how to package things properly for this software so... I'm trying to learn that so that you get the best possible version.

I worked on a new block, including that iconic Tina hotel ( one I'd get above, not inside, althought the inside is scandalously luxurious and blooming ), and sadly ended giving up for now because of silly geometry pro...

I dreamed

... of you all poured in a bowl, conveniently available on my bedside table.

If your dreams don't scare you...

Per request on the discord server : The logo less version and another angle of my well deserved relaxing *grins*

Bigger enough

Most of you have followed the tricky and exciting journey toward the alpha release, and as I'm pretty sure I've already said... there's a lot ahead !

More buildings, more blocks, clean textures, more decals, more details, more HDRI ( this the city's so reflective, I realized they'd be essential. i'm creating and including them ), ligther textures, more use cases, more open spaces, more diversity, more parks, more...

I'm far from done, and you'll get all the release before anyone...

#CitiesForDaz alpha release : 2 days left for patrons !

Tell me you're excited, little patrons ! *grins heartily*

#CitiesForDaz WIP : Day 55

I've begun the tedious shader and geometry conversion from the textured city blocks in Blender to DAZ.
So far, it looks very, very SATISFYING.
And lightweight.

I *hope* to be able to bring up a DAZ version to you patrons in the coming weeks.

#CitiesForDaz : Inspection time !

I'm inspecting, stressing, pushing this city to become what I know it'll become.
Gradually, it becomes less and less shy, more present and tangible.

We're getting to know each other, me and my toy, before sharing it with you all.

And... there's a strange and pleasant feeling to build it, destroy it, and still be surprised on the outcome.

#CitiesForDaz : Day 52 !

This time was dedicated to bring all the elements together : The city block I already built, the slab, and model a few things along the way.
In the end... everything looks good, satisfying, usable.

I'm ready for the first big jump in DAZ and the shading that will likely ensue !

I really hope to make it look as good as in blender.

We'll see.

#CitiesForDaz : Day 48

One day at a time...

The first blocks have been built and they look pretty good !
I'm testing how everything looks from ground level, then will gradually move up to helicopter and plane level to adjust the required level of detail.
This might end up as different layers you can activate or not in DAZ, depending on the Level Of Detail you need.
LOD. Keep this term in mind. I feel like it's going to be key.

Aaaand a few shading tests to see if everything fares well in the ...

This did THAT

I know there are many creators on this very patreon who ask themselves this question : Will I be able to make your latest creation run on my computer ?

Yes you will.
My computer is awful at doing what I ask of her, and I have to make everything as optimized as possible. For me, and for you all.

This very computer still does all these pictures, and she did #destroyfordaz, and 2022-08-22 22:16:09 +0000 UTC View Post

#CitiesForDaz : Day 45

At this point of my project...
I inquired into Buildify ( paveloliva.gumroad.com/l/build… ) and OSM (prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/bl…) :

New York, reworked

Dear patrons !
Quite unexpectedly, Playgrounds will be updated !
Thanks to Virtual Amusement ( https://twitter.com/fu24098820 ) who created the first version of the map, I've spent about One day and a half improving it and they allowed me to share it on Playgrounds ! ( http://bit.ly/PlaygroundsForDaz )

It's a beautiful map.
