Dev update

Hey hey folks, how´s life?
I hope it´s treating you well.
Can´t say the same for myself bc since i updated the Nvidia graphics driver DAZ Studio constantly crashes and sometimes won´t even start.
That´s annoying af and keeps me from working on 0.8 for a day now. Those drivers have been wonky for months now and i´m considering to make a fresh new install of the drivers to have a clean install again.

Before that crashing started i was fiddling around with the skin textures of the G8 characters. Most of them come in 4k sizes but that´s awfully filling up the VRAM. So i decided to look up if i can just resize them textures( They´re all just jpg´s after all)
Didn´t had to look for very long bc the first search result just said "image->resize".

Went through all the maps used by the characters, copied them, resized them and applied ´em again. And you know what?
It barely makes a difference for the look of the characters. Sure, bump maps have to adjusted but that´s no big deal. Tried the same for some load heavy clothes and that worked too, for most of them. Especially the suit Trish is wearing in 0.7 and further in 0.8 was very demeaning of my GPU. But with the resize it´s manageable to work with again.

I try to release 0.8 at around the tenth of february, just like every month before inspite the DAZ problems.

In other good news i added an android version of Softlinxxx 0.7 in the release post for those playing on long rides to work or waiting at the doctor´s office.

Stay charged!

Dev update

Hey hey folks, how`s life?
It´s been a turbulent week. I installed the DAZ to Blender bridge and tried to transfer some character models and environments to test how they look with either the evee or cycles render engine that comes with Blender.
Took a long time of fiddling around and in the end not every environment transferred properly. For instance, the Cyberpunk Night club asset for DAZ always crashed after a short time. Another asset crashed too.
The only asset, so far, that worked was some Space bedroom.
Then i tried the MC and it looked good but the Cyberglasses asset didn´t parent properly and the hood of the jacket appeared again. Those are things you can adjust manually.
It´s just a lot of effort and time to make things work with those transfers.
Asset that come with an optional .obj file seem to work better.

Tried to fiddle around with a character from smutbase but didn´t made it very far. Textures and skin were way off and as of now I don´t know how to fix that.

Next i got me a big Kitbash set for City structures from cgtrader and which i´m still trying to figure how to apply textures and emmissives to it and how to light the scene in blender.

After all, not everything worked robust enough with the DAZ to Blender bridge but i think that there´s a powerful tool we got to work with when it will be working properly after some more updates. Of course you have to learn how to navigate Blender and it´s abundant features, the learning curve is way more steeper than DAZ but it offers some great tools to work with especially if you want to modify objects and meshes. The render engines are also very fast, so that´s a big big Plus.

So yeah, in conclusion i´m trying to learn how to blender, got some mixed results but will keep on learning.

Since i dabbled with Blender i didn´t had the time to render the usual batch of images for the upcoming 0.8 version. But i want Blender and the DAZ to Blender bridge to work and learning new stuff always takes it`s time but the knowledge will lead to a better looking Softlinxxx than before.

Deadline for 0.8 is still the 10th of february.

That´s it from me for today.
Stay charged!

Dev update

Hey hey folks, how´s life?

As i mentioned last week i was trying to learn some Blender. But the last update to the DAZ to Blender bridge hasn´t been working good so far. Tried to transfer the cityscape scene i was working on but DAZ just crashed. Maybe i used too much assets or sth but the result was just a mess of meshes wildly thrown together when the transfer was finished.
And since the last update my RAM just skyrockets and DAZ crashes with an access memory violation.
Clearly the bridge needs more time for construction to be a reliable plugin.
Or maybe it´s the 4.12 version of DAz that i´m still using that causes all the fuzz, i don´t know. But what i do know that upgrading DAZ can be a rough thing and doing it while on a project can result in some troublesome worries.
Yet sooner or later it has to be done anyway. Not sure about the time when to do it.

Well, aside from the bridge trouble, rendering so far went as expected for 0.8 next month.
Next update will include more Zandra and Geena following MC into the Gilgamesh arcology.

Oh wait, i also made a Ko-fi account:


Don´t know if that works bc they don´t allow linking to nsfw content.
lol

Anyway stay charged!

SOFTLINXXX 0.8

Hey hey folks, how's life?

Hope you're well and makign the best of life.
I'm glad to release Softlinxxx 0.8 today.
As mentioned earlier, this version only got 90 images because I've started to learn Blender on the side. And funny thing, 2 weeks after i was done with the cityscape shot, i found a really awesome City build tutorial on YT. So, the cityscape scene in this update can be seen as somewhat of a placeholder.

Wallpaper for february will be up the day after tomorrow, as always in 4k and 1080p.

The stats for 0.8
- 90 new images, 1010 in total.
- 2 new awesome music tracks
- 1 tiiiiny little soundeffect
- Size: 740MB

The download links:





Have fun and stay charged!

v0.8? Does this mean that the game is 2 updates away from being completed? If so, that is AMAZING progress!
Nope. It will be ongoing after 1.0

I really love this one and I can not believe there are only 7 pages on such an excellent game. the renders are fantastic. I love the clarity. I do not care about file size I would much rather have a nice clear pic. that is why they make 5 tb usb drives right? anyhow. I wonder if using renderman as the program to export everything to and then send it back to daz? I read renderman works with blender also so somehow everything could get back to daz if need be. Just a thought as I tried daz on a few computers and buggy crashing long time brewing would be my description. I have an I9 with an 8 gig gforce and it was still slow. would not even run on a 4 core intel. anyhow just a thought. do not know if it will help but maybe worth a try. thanks for the share.

The MC got even more hightech shit in his house ... "Shaving Nanobots" - or how can he get a nice shave when he goes from the dining table to the couch? ^^

Just started ... looks quite solid. The story so far is a bit strange (why did Keely make selfies on someone else's phone and puts it back where she found it?).
And why does she give the MC a BJ when I avoided her as much as possible?
Yes you can skip that, but then they both sit at the table naked and no one comments that? ..

But ok ... let's see where this is going ... probably downhill ...

I think A-Z's nipples should be a different color she looks like she still has armor on IMO.
Good idea. Maybe i start a poll regarding her nipple colour?

I'm glad that you enjoy my VN.
Renderman, according to my research is the render engine used by Pixar aaaand costs roughly 600 bucks. That's a bit out of my pay range. Have to work with DAZ for now(and maybe Blender in the future). If you want to render with DAZ make sure you have a GPU with enough CUDA cores.

Dammit the apocalypse will be upon us because i forgot to make the beard visible again. Luckily i still have the .duf saved and can correct that tiiiiiny little detail. ^^
