Spoiler Thursday 03 - Episode 7

Added 2019-06-27 06:25:14 +0000 UTC

Hey guys,

I want you to meet our friend Mahabbah. She's quite the character and I hope you'll like her. I won't go too much into the details because I don't want to spoil the game too much.

I'm posting this SpoilerThursday as public because I also want to talk about the development of the game.

Both my machine and Bishop's are up and running, but there are still a few more renders to do. I made some calculations and it might take a few more good hours. Hopefully I can give do the release tomorrow night.

Also, some of you asked me about the specs of my rendering machine and why it takes this much, so I'm gonna present my workstation.
Right now I use two machines.
I have a rendering machine which I use only for rendering and preparing some of the scenes and a Macbook Pro 2018 which I use for programming, preparing most of the scences and photo editing.

Rendering Machine :

CPU: i7 7700K 4.20GHz box
GPU : GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB
RAM : 32GB DDR4 3000MHz
SSD : 256GB
HDD : 2TB
Motherboard : ASUS STRIX Z270E GAMING

Now as for why does it take this much to render:
I'm not sure how familiar you are with Daz Studio or other 3D Rendering Softwares, but the main thing that matter in a scene is the lighting and how fast the lighting can reach every corner of the scene. An empty outdoor scene takes less than 30 minutes because the sun can reach easily every corner of the scene, however the indoor it's more tricky and can take more than 1 hour to render. However when I add characters in the scene the amount of time increases based on the number of characters in the scene.
Now let's talk about the charity event. Not only that the scene is indoor, but most of the surfaces are glossy which is a nightmare to render.

That being said, please have a little bit more patience, No More Secrets - Episode 7 is just around the corner.

Best regards,
Jason
