New update info?
Sorry all with L&P's announcement that Pt5 will have no teasers, I think this will become a forum wasteland in the next few days... With no feedback of things to comment on then speculation on the update hits a wall... If its a July post, or August, or September... well for the pirates (Rats)... all I can suggest is... get used to playing the waiting game... On a side note.. many here will be able to hone their edging skills... ... a web site that may assist...

Hello, I believe you have incorrect information.

Animation always takes the longest, and it probably never looks quite good enough for this game :rolleyes:
There's a big gap between the quality of animation and single renders, because single renders get all LP's post production with Pts or similar tools, while animations usually have to make do with the raw frames

So the best thing about animation in this game is probably that it just buys LP more time

The biggest issue is I believe that the animations are done in blender and the main renders are done in Daz3d... the exporting of the characters x platform never allows consistency of the character art.. Clear examples are were the bad poses in the 2nd side arc job, Sophia's horrible expression when she was with Ellie in the locker room.. and even in "Sucking Baby".. (was it just me or was this a bad name for this in the gallery??).. Dylan's expression... not so good... Sophia better but I think she benefited as she wore sun glasses.. anyway.. the animations... good, bad or indifferent.. a major point of contention as the art is not up to the standard of the stills renders.. Setting aside the time.. equipment to produce animations are a leap above standard render rigs, and I am aware that L&P has some serious GPU's behind him to do what he does.. But everything takes time.. Stalling I think not.. If he is doing this by himself... there is some considerable time involved in 10,15,25 sec animations.. only my 2 cents again..

Let me tell you that something is currently changing about that. I will not say what but for someone who was not really keen on these animations because they take so long. It is looking much better in the future IMO. But I will keep silent until he posts something on Subscribestar about it.^^

As I have said in the past, I'm happy to be proved wrong and corrected, because if this is the case and my assumptions are incorrect, then the game, story and everything in between only improves, and that is the best case scenario for all the fans..

My guess is AI, the more I compared the animations when Dylan got the BJ, vs Sophia with the 2nd side job, I really think the second side job animation had AI, now is been enough time for newer AI tools to hit the market, so yeah there is potential new animations will become better and better and not just for AWAM

Now L&P just need to find the next tool that will help him do more render in less time, so each update still takes a lot but there are more renders at least :FacePalm:
