Status update Episode 11
Added 2024-08-23 09:49:31 +0000 UTC
I continued to work on static renders this week. I wanted to be close to 90% done with the free roam event I've been working on by today, but I'm at 81%.
I worked on some scenes that were very slow to pose, and it took me half a week to pose around 120 renders for these scenes.
Compare that to today's work, where I'm already at 87 posed static renders, and you'll see how it can vary a lot between scenes.
I've also posed animations this week and worked on Steam-related tasks that I can share more about soon.
I will be able to pose the rest of the art for what's written of the free roam event next week.
After that, I will write the remainder of the scenes for the free roam event that I need; I've counted ten scenes.
I'm also interested in doing more of the needed animation work soon, but we'll take it week by week.
36 animations and 345 static renders are in the render queue. We're cooking.
Have a nice weekend

2024-08-30 09:40:21 +0000 UTCYes, they really do need better equipment. The game is great and I'm happy to support them, but that wasn't enough. That's why I find DPC's performance brilliant.

2024-08-26 12:22:33 +0000 UTCI know which game and I was pretty disappointed too, felt like only half an update worth of content. They clearly need to do it more like DPC and have multiple PCs for rendering.

2024-08-25 09:11:05 +0000 UTCSee the previous answer for the first step of building the queue. I save all files after posing them. All those files need to be rendered by a PC before they become an image. This process can take anything between 20 min to 2 hours per image, depending on factors such as lighting, complexity, number of characters, environment, etc. This is something I don't have time to start manually for every image and would like my PCs to take care of for me. I have numerous PC slaves - PCs that will take care of this task for me. I divide all the saved files on those PCs and start a script that will load a file, render the image, save the complete image, then unload the file; rinse repeat for all saved files that the PC has. Those images are then put in a folder that I've set up a local network for and can pull those images to my master PC from where I post-process the images in photoshop. After that, the image is done. The render queue is thus the name for all saved files that are waiting to render and become images.

2024-08-24 11:58:17 +0000 UTCI wanted to say that the supporters started a shitstorm under the corresponding post from the developer.

2024-08-24 08:27:05 +0000 UTCA render is one image. Posing it entails the work behind making it, often associated with moving the character into position, adjusting their limbs and making their expression (talking/listening/reacting). First, I prepare a scene/environment and the characters that are supposed to go in it - prepare their clothing, makeup etc. I work with lighting and make sure the scene is lit properly. After this, the posing can start. Put the character in position, adjust it accordingly and place the camera that will "photograph" the image. Adjust the light, settings and other parameters to my liking, then when all that is done, save the file. Rinse and repeat the posing process within the scene until the scene is done. A small scene can have something like 10-30 renders in it. A medium scene 30-100. A large scene is anything above 100 renders. Meaning you repeat the posing process that many times per scene.

2024-08-24 06:08:19 +0000 UTCWhat does it mean to "pose" a render?

2024-08-23 18:03:10 +0000 UTCIt's amazing what you're doing. And I really appreciate it and would like to thank you for it. And unfortunately I can appreciate that because yesterday another developer released their latest update and it was a huge disappointment for everyone. Not because of the quality or the story. After more than 10 months of development, a super short update with just "1,800" renders was released. The disappointment among the supporters is huge and is currently discharging into their Patreon. That's why I appreciate your commitment immensely. Many, many thanks.
