Hey everyone, sorry this is late. The weekend just slipped right through my fingers. Not a ton to report, but still significant. Character conversions are nearly done. I'm still having some issues with hair, and a lot of models need either redoing or touching up. I'll be done I think before the first week of September, but we will see. Can't rush this part of it. If the models are fucked up, it just creates more work down the line. Need to have everything set up properly before moving forward. This doesn't mean just the materials. It means ensuring I have all my edits to these things called "shape keys" and ensuring each item brought in from Daz is converted to Blender native shaders, as well as planning for future scenes regarding clothing (which is such a huge fucking pain in the ass by the way). However, I have also been breaking up the monotony of character conversion/troubleshooting with environment creation and pose/light/render testing. Patrons who aren't on the Discord will get a "photo dump" in the near future of the one-offs I've been doing (that weren't ass, anyways). So, all in all, progress towards teeing up chapter 1 continues. To get ready for the start, I will eventually need to do some animation testing, very specifically with the camera, since the start of chapter 1 will be an animation with a fly through camera shot. While I imagine it's much easier in Blender, I don't want to assume, and Daz camera control on the animation timeline was fucking atrocious. I think that about covers everything for this week. I'll be working on continuing to model the environments in-between polishing the character conversions. Oh! That reminds me. Just so everyone is aware. Ruby had to be remade, as her old model was completely incompatible with Blender. This was a good thing anyways, as one of our main LI's in the game is Ruby's sister, and they looked nothing alike before (being on different model generations, it was very difficult to get them to look similar). Now I modeled the new Ruby side by side with her sister and she looks better than ever.
Alright that turned out longer than I thought it would. I hope everyone has a great week. To my followers; I'll catch you next Sunday. To my Patrons; you know where to find me.
Stay frosty,
NME
