Alright, the back section of the Chronic Exhibit is done. I plan on recreating the entire room but with this finished the rest should be easy as I have all the resources I need to create the stuff in Daz. While making this I decided to turn the two statues, which were originally Genesis 8 figures, into objects. This dramatically increased loading and rendering speeds. I'll do the same for the two night statues, once I make them, then I can move on to the more straightforward stuff like putting the artifacts in cases. That'll be straightforward because the artifacts (a necklace, some crystals, scrolls, magic ball, a potion, and some bigger crystals) are ready made objects as are the cases I'll be sticking them into. Oh, I need to make one more object for the angel statue in the corner, should be easy though and I might actually have a ready made object to use for that anyway. Currently I'm rendering out the scene with Schala in it to see if I want to render out a full scene or if I want to do it with a simple background and overlays. Depends on how fast a full scene, or not, renders out.

MZ wise, I've been working on Fire's party chat stuff but It's taking a while because I don't really want to do it... I'm forcing myself to but damn man, this is some monotonous bs... I feel like I'm trying to force a toddler to eat veggies but I'm the toddler that doesn't wanna eat the damn veggies. Heh. I like how the events play out but I'm loathing setting them up. That being said, I will NOT be doing Jessica's right now since she'll only be in the party for a very brief time and I'll be doing Laura's after I redo the Hefna mansion party event. Once I get Fire's stuff done I'll work on updating/adding the interactive map events and optimizing stuff. Probably won't have everything done by next week but I should be able to get it all ready by the end of the month.

I'll post more preview renders as I figure out how I want to do this scene. That's all for now, be well and I hope you're enjoying the game!
