Progress 01.09.2025 and changelog for ToaM 0.48.0

Hello all!

Eh... What a start of the week, I found out that the script of 0.49.0 lost a section, so had to rewrite it so I'm slightly behind, and in other news this will be also one of the longer updates to render... Somehow I think I should have crammed one more update between now and the epilogue... meh. Not the first time nor the last, some things seem to be a good idea while writing.

So, rendering of 0.49.0 has started, one of those updates that will take time again. Luckily, it should be relatively easy, but realities are different...

Writing? Well outside of the quick writing on the 0.49.0 I'm on a good track regarding it. It's putting all the variables together, which I probably half forget despite going through the documentation I have for them. Then it's just visiting various people, and the ending slides as usual. Although those aren't thought of too deeply, they are what... the characters would be and do sometime later in life.

And yeah... No preview today for various reasons. Thus...

The cabin. The place where it began. The cabin is very important part of who Alexander is; he likes its quiet and solitude. Of course nowadays it means little as is, as there are people who enjoy the quiet and solitude as much as he does. But by now he is used to having a visitor or three there when he goes there. And yes, he still drives despite being able to teleport around. Partially because it raises fewer questions to go around a city or town in a car than zipping all over the place.

Ah, Miyuki... Miyuki has been a problematic character to "update". I'm never happy with how the hair is. The original? I like it, still like what it looks like in general, until there is a side view. Then, expressions are difficult. Every time they are fine in view port they look something else in a render. Eventually I just have to pick something and go for it, it isn't like there are that many new hairs made for Genesis 8 anymore. Ah well. Anyway, short break and then more rendering. And then to the important stuff...
