March Madness (Little Log)

So quick update on the total for March. I got 395 renders done in the month of March and that is not counting the very productive last week of February (135 renders). It's been a good stretch for s...

Case Log #24 Ch5

Scene 11 took a tad longer than expected, but I finished it this last week. I apologize for the day late log, but I wanted to at least have a render for the flashback (scene 12) to show. Most of my...

The interstitial

I've been thinking of the space in-between episodes. Not incredibly serious, but still a thought. Current episode is still the one that occupies my mind. However, there is a creative curiosity that...

Case Log #23 Ch5

I imagined that I would finish scene 11 in one day. Silly me. I'm still rendering same scene. It's partly because of the environment being a bit more detailed than what I expected, which has led to...

Case Log #22 Ch5

Another week has gone by with some pretty good progress. Have been working on replacing music and adding some sound effects. About midway through the first chapter. The flashbacks are probably the ...

Case Log #21 Ch5

Good day everyone! I didn't get to post a midweek update, so apologies for that. It's been another busy week. Yesterday I started scene 10, and today I hit 926 total renders. So, an even 100 this w...

Case Log #20 Ch5

Sorry. Yesterday got away from me a little bit. This will be super short. I reached 826 renders total, so 36 renders. Not quite what I hope for a week, but RL was busy. I'm not too worried as this ...

Case Log #19 Ch5

Daz has been incredibly cooperative this week. Not a single freeze of the software. I applaud this! Of course, mostly it's an ulcer medicine, not medicine that cures mind you...medicine that create...

Case Log #18 Ch5

I was hoping to get through scene 7 today (actually yesterday, but let's not talk about that). I will finish it up tomorrow. I wrote a bit more than I had originally planned for the scene, which tr...

Your Favorite Waitress.

Had a couple of minutes today, so I got one done that wasn't too far from set up. Might do another couple in this set up. Tomorrow will be time to render the chapter work.

Enjoy!

Case Log #17 Ch 5

Continuing scene 7 this week. Ending at a total of 575 renders, which seems super low considering how long it's been since the update. I'm hoping to make quick progress with this scene and get thro...

Case Log #16 Ch5

Ahh, the famous no render case log. I thoroughly dislike it, but a funny thing happened this week. Well, maybe not funny exactly, more like disappointing and aggravating. As I mentioned in previous...

Case Log #15 Ch5

Last couple of weeks haven't exactly been awesome. Electrical failure, clean-up of PC, a lingering cold and asset management (out of all things, sorting through assets may have been the worst...agg...

Case Log #14 Ch5

It has been a curious week. After the promo render of the mayor, I got going on scene 7 in earnest...or that was what I was thinking. I managed 2 renders averaging about 3.5 hrs a piece. At that pa...

The Mayor is in.

All is well on my end and I got a surprise day of rendering in. I felt the need to render a promo image (something I don't particularly like doing as it always takes time away from what is importan...

New and old Mayor.

Please do NOT repost this. I feel that it's fair to alert the paying members of the current situation where I live, but I would appreciate if it didn't leave this site.

Monday, Tuesday and We...

Mayor Drake

A preview of what the new Mayor of Rackham City looks like.

Cheers!

Case Log #13 Ch5

This may have been a record-breaking week of rendering (and some writing). I'm still going today, but it will only be another few renders as I need to set up the scene for the Red Hot Kitten speake...

Case Log #12 Ch5

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, if you celebrate such things. On the development side, January should be quite a bit better than both November and December has been. I realized that my op...

Happy Holidays!

I wasn't going to invest in any silly Christmas assets, but who can resist the joy of the season? Me? Nope. I'm quite keen when it comes to my own weaknesses. Curious, huh? I thought you all deserv...

Update 3

Since it's sunday, I'll post a quick update. It's been a good writing week, but no rendering. I'll have everyone's holiday gift ready on the 26th (sorry, tried for 24th but that will not happen). S...

Case Log #11 Ch 5

Above is the final version of the book cover that will appear in the next chapter of New Antioch. The model is Gabrielle but with different hair. This week I finished scene 5 with slightly more ren...

Case Log #10 Ch5

I thought I could finish scene 5 and almost did this weekend, so I'm going to call this the 1/3rd mark. The main reason its taking a bit longer than expected is the hair asset for Detective Turis, ...

Case Log #9 Ch5

I'm back! Managed a few renders for scene 5 and looking forward to continuing the journey. I'm comfortable with saying that scene 5 will be done next time I sit down to render. Currently I have 15 ...

Update 2

So RL job completed, and I have begun to render again. The billing pause will be broken on december 3rd I think, and I will keep it that way. I have a few days open to render, so next update will b...

Update

Not even going to use the "Case Log" as a title and it feels weird to post just text. The RL project is on it's last week, so I should be up and rendering shortly after that. This might be the most...

Case Log #8 Ch5

My RL project has been as I suspected, a time sink. But I'm doing some cross promotions with a couple of other devs and the image above is for New Antioch. It's part of a noir book cover that will ...

Case Log #7 Ch5

Got started with scene 5 today. Don't know exactly how many renders. My goal was 100 for the weekend, but didn't hit that mark. Probably got to about 260 total. I booked a RL project that will take...

Case Log #6 Ch5

So the poll was incredibly helpful in illustrating that nothing is just a simple choice. Pubic hair didn't win by a hair and shaven didn't slide into first. So a dead heat. I'm usually not particul...

Pubic Hair?

I'm personally not a fan of hair, but it struck me as curious that all of the girls are clean shaven (it's also been brought to my attention by members). I know the time period kind of warrants som...
