The only issue I have with the image, and it's not a complaint(just an oddity) is because of the way Naomi is positioned, and the reflection of her foot, at first casual glance it always looks to me like she's got a tail dangling down. It hits me as odd because we all know Cass is the only demon in the lineup.Found this as I was doing some cleaning on my drive......Enjoy!
You all may have seen it already but, what the hell lol!

Happy Mon-er...Tuesday!
Sorry for the late post. After setting up several shots to be rendered, I threw them in my easy bake oven to render. So I thought it'd be a good time to install the new GPU on my work PC. No idea why swapping out the GPU suddenly made my PC just nosedive. Didn't do anything other than wipe the driver and install a fresh updated nvidia driver. But my PC just became unusable, anyways. Long story short, it's 2AM and I just got done reformatting my PC and it's running fine again. Didn't do anything special, just one of those really annoying technology quirks that come swinging once in a great while.
Earlier last week I had to optimize one of my custom locations. It was a very high-poly model, one of those sets that takes a while to load, move the camera in, and even saving. I was checking out the render queue and it took 14 minutes to load the scene but only 4 minutes to actually render it. This scene was about 70 shots, so if my math is right...combatively 17ish hours of this batch was just loading the scene. The way my DAZ library is setup, average load times is barely 30 seconds. So, optimizing my custom assets helps the load bloat. Another reason why I'm working on transitioning to Blender. I can utilize LOD, or level of detail. DAZ has something similar, but Blender can let me do so much more with it.
Thanks for the feedback with Paige's hair. I kept going back and forth on it. I'll throw a poll up shortly after this post just to get a bigger sample size. Short hair is just easier to work with. Less clipping to adjust, animation is a little easier. But at the same time it does change a person's look dramatically. So, just a comparison. Here's a side by side of Paige with her normal hair and the short hair.
Also, there've been no adjustments made to her morph. Literally impossible with how I create my models. The shorter hairstyle makes her face look fuller compared to her long hair.
Poll will go up shortly and it's primarily to gauge interest.
that'll do for now. I'm gonna get some sleep now, lol.
stay safe out there, everyone.

I prefer it longer but if it makes digi's life easier then he should go with the shorter option.

I'm good with either one so not a big deal for me.

the longer hair is so much better. fits her personality. the new option makes her look like a generic LI i've seen in other AVNs.

This is my thought as well. The short hairstyle looks nice, but it is such a significant change in her looks that I'd prefer to stick with the longer hair.

Hmm.....I wonder what she looks like with the glasses on with short hair
since she has them on in a lot of scenes with the long hair.

Great game, thanks for the work.
A great showcase in my opinion.

If I had to pick one of those to be staring at beneath me in bed, it's going to be the one on the right. Not only do I think she just looks better in general, I don't have to worry about my MC's arms laying on her hair, which can be a hindrance to the fun.

TBH I am just playing other VNs just for the sake of playing but what in reality is happening is that I AM JUST WAITING FOR ARTEMIS UPDATE. Now back to our normal programming...

Hey everyone!
The poll was a great turnout! Paige is getting her hair done. I decided to take it further and provide some options for the final choice. Three styles to choose from for the final decision.
This time I added her glasses, some of you mentioned wanting to see her with her glasses.
Also, I hear your concerns about hairstyles and seeing them overused. Unfortunately, with DAZ it can be challenging with many factors at play; The artist made crappy shaders, the strands/hair don't have bones/pose dials, hair renders poorly. Most of you know I'm capable of creating my own assets or heavily modifying them. But hair is a whole other process that I'd rather not touch. Additionally, most other devs aren't 3D modelers, so creating new styles is far and few between. Best I can do for you guys is avoiding using Haven Park and create my own. But hair isn't in the future, unless I hire someone to design one for me. Which is a possibility in the future.
The point is not many hairs in the DAZ store render good and of course that's what the majority of readers want; really good renders. Consider wet hair for example. Next to Haven Park, this is probably an asset you've seen countless times
That's because there's probably only 3-5 wet hair assets in the DAZ store. Which makes it a little difficult to show wet hair that's at this level of detail. You could just ramp up the reflection and tones to make hair look wet on other hairs. But it doesn't always come out great. It also makes it difficult when you have characters with specific hair styles, like shorter bangs for example. The DAZ store just doesn't have a whole lot to choose from. It's the struggle of development when making asset choices, creating characters, etc.
So, I do apologize if either of the hairs above feel overused. The hairs that are being newly released in the DAZ store do have a higher quality to them, but most are for G9 models only and not all hairs play well when put on G8 models. One of the choices I wanted was G9 and dforce didn't work on it and when I saved a pose, loading the file didn't place the hair back onto the head, lol.
Anyways, the final part of the poll will be going up shortly. Also, next week is Thanksgiving week. My grandma, my sister and her family will be staying over to have Thanksgiving at my place, so it's going to be a short week for me next week. Just a heads up on that front.
Have yourselves a great week everyone and be safe!
