If you mean Ren'py, then sure. It's not really made for big animations in the way I do them. I don't use video files (so far, anyway).
I am not sure if daz exports video or not, I think so, but image pushes can be turned into video as well, if it's easier to code that way.

Video would be counterproductive to how I implement and tweak animations. I build the animation as a series of repeating pictures in Ren'py, then implement the scene that uses them. Once I see it in action with dialogue, I start to tweak timing and speed until I'm satisfied. Except for some of my earliest animations, the ones you see in LLtP don't have regular intervals between frames. The distance between frames during a sex scene can be shorter when moving in one direction and longer when moving in the other, simulating how thrusting motions work in real life, and I often accelerate and decelerate movement with longer pauses when changing direction. The animations in this game are more complex than they might look, and I prefer to be able to immediately tweak every single detail of them in Ren'py. Besides, most scenes will have each animation play at two (or more) different speeds, and it's not always just a linear change.

Look at the Leanan Sídhe sex scene, where you see her face, for an example of an animation that is extremely fluid in its frame timings. This is particularly true for this one because of the breast physics.

So for me, it's way easier to code these things by using images instead of video. It means I can focus on making the individual images look good when posing, while focusing on the animation itself once the scene is actually working in the game.

Try it then... Gd luck with friend with benefit path since you lost love path with primrose, at least you still can sex with her and see her naked in jail for a while (if you asking it to samara)

Belle does not take any crap from the MC.lol
She may not take crap, but then she does not give a crap either. She is the only one who who is not filled with envy. If she can't join she just wants to watch. Heck she may even give you ides on how to spice it up, and even encourage you to continue.

I haven't gotten to see that scene as of yet, but I will look forward to it. ;)

I completely agree about the breast physics, that can really back the difference between a passable animation and a really good one.

I am too dyslexic to even make Ren'Py work at all, so whatever works best for you, is what you should do! (y) I love what you are doing so far, so it's not like I was trying to change anything, I only mentioned it because you seemed curious. Worked with media on and off for decades, so it's a bit of a hobby.

I was thinking about using the Pose & Animate tab and using the Timeline to animate. You might have to bake the animation in to the scene. When I can get some time I will need to play with that (do a simple walk animation).

When in crone hut, you will have an option to investigation about charmaleon scale, maybe called "asking about carmaleon scale" or something like that.. If you already have a clue about carmaleon scale from back alley near library, you would have the option when go to crone hut, or try find out to library first..

Have you already read walkthrough from 1st page? You might miss something else too..

DAZ can do animations but it is a terrible idea. After the first few renders even with the best GPU it will switch to CPU and take forever. Best bet is to render the still frames just as Belle does them and then use either renpy, photoshop, gimp or a video editing software.

I only have Deliver Spellbook to her as an option, I followed the walkthrough all the way to day 14 and after that I started doing things on my own.

Fuck the walkthrough. I hear the guy who wrote it is an asshat anyway.

I can't confront her because she's in jail and the problem is I'm missing the last clue about the an old lady having access to the keys the night of the murder so I can't progress.

This isn't true. It will only switch to CPU if it runs out of VRAM, and only the second render increases VRAM usage. After that, it's smooth sailing. I should know, because I always render in batches. My scenes are posed using keyframes and the timeline as if they were animations just so that I can render all the images in one go. VRAM usage will increase for each render if you use OptiX Prime Acceleration, but you shouldn't do that.

Well, I play this game when samara and nell just coming to city till now, im not follow the walkthrough like what you did it till some next update..

I can't confront her because she's in jail and the problem is I'm missing the last clue about the an old lady having access to the keys the night of the murder so I can't progress.
Even im try another new game cause one update give a funny thing (primorose can naked after you asked it to Samara).

So to the point i make primrose set in jail, but i still can finish this detective mission.

Wonder why you cant trigger ask about chameleon scale to crone :unsure:

Yes, it was quite nice, though I have to say, so far, the one that stands out to me the most was the breast movement for Evelyn's hand job, on their first night together. Very nicely done, kudos! (y)

Hmm, have you tried using the self-voicing feature in Ren'Py? The default shortcut is 'v'. It uses your OS default voice, so Win10 and OSX should have decent voicing...

Yeah, as Goob said, I was talking about the coding side, but as for the playing side, I don't live alone, so I don't really like my porn to make noise... XD
