Hi again! Lots of stuff to talk about so let's begin! Issues: Lately, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I had so many issues with Daz and rendering in general. I had to deal with issues I've never seen before... I was setting up scenes, as usual. Two characters, a location, a few lights... Everything was looking quite nice so I started my first render - looked ok, but the moment I started the second one - BAM! Error with CUDA cores. Solution? Restart DAZ Studio. Restarting it, loading the scene again takes a while, as usual... but hey, I'm a patient guy. And again: First render - done, the second one - error. It took me so freaking long to finally figure out what was the issue which... By the way, wasn't happening ONLY in this scene, but in others as well! I somehow managed figure it out.
It turns out a one, simple setting was the problem.
I solved it. YAY!... But it wasn't the end... Same thing. One render - fine, the second one - error. A different one this time so it doesn't get too boring! ... I figured it out as well, but I lost so much time, so I want to let you know I'm... a little bit behind schedule.
Speaking of schedule and release dates. One thing I know for sure - it's not happening this month, but I don't anyone here is surprised about it. It slowly looks like I'm going to pass the 1000 render mark with this update! I may even go way beyond that, but we'll see! I'm aiming for the next month with the release and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do it.
As you may have seen on a first preview, renders are getting more and more difficult. Fog, dark alleys, creepy-ish atmosphere add a lot to render times, but I'm happy and proud of it! Many scenes look much better compared to previous chapters and not to mention the... first or second.
Lots of new stuff coming soon. More polls, previews just to kill time while waiting for another update and, of course, getting feedback from you!
Something for everyone. ;]
