Status Update #54

Hello there!

This week we've continued working with animations, editing, ambience and SFX.

A lewd scene with animations is proving to be slightly painful when it comes to rendering and Iray convergence. And for those who aren't Daz nerds like Npx, Iray convergence is responsible for render quality and noise reduction. More light good, less light bad. Each render will calculate slightly differently, which is forgivable when it comes to singular renders, but with animations it will result in lots of noise and blur if done badly. We've tried a couple of optimizations but so far they've looked like ass in comparison to the normal renders. Wont give up though!

We tried to make animations in 0.5 night scenes but ultimately decided to skip them. One example would be Jenni's scene in the Freya alley, and a couple of animations with Mia at night. We had a couple of questions about these scenes lately after we mentioned our rendering rig, and whether we'll render animations for them. And the answer is yes, we will revisit them and render more animations when possible. Same possibly goes for the first Cassandra scene.

We also have a fresh batch of renders to post-process this weekend and they're looking pretty good. Specifically one of the night scenes is looking great, it's a nice mixture of lighting effects and darkness. Always a joy to play with fir- light.

Ms. Hill

On the topic of fresh renders, it's been a while, but one of our first special renders was a hot tub render with Ms.Hill back in the day. It was also one of the first night renders! Looking back, it wasn't too bad for a concept and test render. A bit rough, but it worked. Kate's assets floated well already back then. That said, we're happy to say there will be a continuation of this concept render coming soon in the game.

And in case you missed out on the September special with Ms.Hill, you can find her below. We've been using these little blurred headers as seen above for the announcements on Discord, and figured we might as well see how they look on Patreon too. Just as a little test.
