Just noticed (though I thought the original white color was odd) that the white should have had the appropriate mask.

All previous images of Red during this scene are missing their mask (incorrect term, but mask will due for now).
This is due to using the light on the camera to light the scene, instead of an external lighting source. I have noticed it...and have been annoyed by it. I am thinking of changing their costumes because of it.

I did wonder about it, but it wasn't the first thing I noticed, ;). Red is pretty hot. Whew.

Have you tried less directional or more diffuse lighting? Maybe if you move the light to the side or towards the ceiling, instead of having the light on the camera, that would fix the reflection issue.

Allow me to illuminate. Most clothing items in the program i use, DAZ3D, basically morph to the shape of the model. causing the huge crease in the cleavage department, among other problems. The only way to fix this that I know of is to simulate the characters breasts growing. So the clothing stretches with the expansion and looks more natural. I have slao seen it in many games and I try to do this as often as possible for my characters, so it looks decent. I miss it sometimes or don't have the time to run the simulation...or it just doesn't work.
For instance a scene I am currently working on, the top I have Chloe in won't allow me to run the fix. It just disappears when I try. So she may have a crease in a couple of pics she is in.
Hope that helps, and I am sorry if it annoys you, I can relate. :)
OK I don't do computer rendering, so I pulled this out of my backside.
Could you create a "base model" for clothing rendering, that has the cleavage filled in, so the clothing will follow that profile instead of the boob curve?

There is no fast and easy way, that I know of.
I recently bought a breast enhancement for clothing that addresses this problem, but it requires a lot of playing around to make it look right. There are also programs out there that would do this much easier but they are not cheap and there would be a learning curve.

The more time spent (wasted) on working on clothing is more time away from working on the important things... story and lewdity.

One line of dialogue how how ship's old machine always fucks up clothing, bam done now back to the important things...

You know, I have spent the last two years using DAZ every day. I think i am reasonably proficient, if someone asked I could walk them through the basics. The one thing I am very very crap at...lighting, I have watched tutorial after tutorial...and just can't get it to work right. I am scrapping through. I see other peoples renders and see the lighting and think...one day i may be able to do that...then i try...and fail. I have come to terms with that DAZ lighting systems must hate me. I will keep at it, so things like the shoulder neonness doesn't happen again.

I am with you. Lighting is everything in Daz. Have you looked at this short lighting tutorial? View attachment FFCreations_Daz_Studio_Lighting_Tutorial.pdf

Also, here is the if you prefer.

It is from the dev of Freeloading Family, which always has very good lighting in his scenes. I found it on his website one day and saved it. It looks like a quite straightforward method for lighting your main character in a scene. It tells you specifically which lights to place, where, and a few other key settings in Daz to light your main character in a naturalistic way, with a 3 point light setup.

It doesn't work like that unfortunately. I use Dforce to stretch out the clothing. If you run the simulation, it will only work with the pose you ran the simulation for, if you change the pose at all, you have to run the simulation again and again and again. It takes up a lot of time. The simulations can take up to and hour and a half, my computer isn't the best, so it becomes impractical. I am looking into other ways to sort it.
It is something that can't be over looked though. just compare the difference between these two. If only it didn't take so bloody long.

Thank I will definitely give it a look.

(Something tells me Nicole's basic needs are being ramped up by Diane... And this place itself. Bending her will more towards liking me.)

MoistSponge I'm going to assume you meant to put Alison in this text instead of Nicole's.
If it hadn't been addressed before V.25 release then the name in text will probably still be Nicole.

MoistSponge Ooooohhhh I really liked that update. The scene with Sally was very good. Using her breasts to the fullest. The only thing I would have liked different was the doggy style animation. I would have prefered the first pic with the side view so you could have enjoyed the rhythmical swaying of her breasts while being pounded.

Another thing I am thinking about is Maddie. In the last update I did not like that the MC tried to talk Maddie out of getting her breasts back. Telling her that she only wants them back because she used them to her advantage is kinda lame. In this new enviroment there is only one male to use them on (please) and she showed a lot of dislike to him. So I think she wants her breasts back bacause they are hers. What would the MC say if he had a big penis and it would get changed to a tiny one? He would say "I want back what was mine" and not because the women liked it. Please do not let the prep talk get to Maddies head. I would really like to see them too especially since she said they were even bigger than Robyns.

Big breasts without a penis in between them is a wasted potential.

Keep up the good work.

In for a Penny [v0.25] [Moist Sponge Productions] – Compressed

Win/Linux v0.25 · · · (439.8 MiB :: 1.23 GiB)
Mac v0.25 · · · (424.4 MiB :: 1.21 GiB)
This compression is unofficial, reduces asset quality, and may or may not break your game.

MoistSponge already encodes near a sweet-spot of size vs quality, leading to most renders' quality suffering quite noticeably on further compression:

I saw this girl in the preview photos and I thought she is an old lady or something, but apparently she is the youngest sister of 4! HER FACE DOESN'T LOOK YOUNG AT ALL! and her tits look creepy, among all the "balloon bimbos" as sister Anne calls them, this girl has the creepiest tits, and that faces doesn't make it better in anyway! Don't get me wrong I like the models of the other girls, all the ones I've seen but this one, Robyn she looks creepy man, I mean, the Aliens who kidnapped all of them altered them in a way or another to make them look better? But they did Robyn dirty. Aside from that I like the premise of the game and how it's going so far, just hope the Dev would fix Robyn somehow
Damn, those bazoongas have their own gravitational pull! I'm scaroused

Yeah, I'm done with this game. MC was a pussy at the beginning, now he's just made him even more pathetic. Big pass.
I played this when it first came out and I really liked the premise. As I recall, due to some sabotage, the guy who was originally selected for this 'mission' died horribly so they had to go with this guy. I wish the original guy would have survived.
Just my opinion.

I don't know what's going on. No matter which recent save I use, I keep getting "AttributeError: 'TransformState' object has no attribute 'size'". Anyone else had this with the new update?
