Agreed. And in that order. Unless the.... neighbor's niece comes to visit.
I like the look of Candice though, for one of those more normal, mainstream fetishes like a breeding/hu-cow fantasy.

For shits and giggles I spent some time trying to engineer an animation pipeline that will allow me to produce 10 to 20 seconds of animation at a cost of 20 to 30 minutes of work per day, and 1 to 2 minutes per frame.
This is the raw output from this weekend's experiment without any editing. It's crude, and simple, but a good start and provides a nice outline on how to incorporate this into the process.

"Hello, how are you... Uh, hello? What are you staring at? Oh, these little things. Well, then I guess I can stare there.
Figure another week or so at 30 minutes a day and I'll have something respectable put together. Spent twenty minutes this morning smoothing out the animation a bit more and adding some 'breathing' effects for realism.

Aha! Found it. "caligulas_01" is what I was looking for, great song. Had me stopping in the middle of playthrough just to listen, lol.
That did occur to me, it's just that at the time my phone wasn't working and I hadn't gotten the replacement yet.
So this took about thirty minutes to build and approximately 2 hours to render. Another 15 minute to put it together in Premiere and I'd say the results are up to par. At this point I think I have the process nailed down good enough to say that 20 to 30 second animations should be a regular part of the game going forward.
In the meantime, Amanda's struggling with her body image. Ain't she fucking cute!

It is very cute.
But I would not be an evil supervillain without the ungrateful, ugly question of the day...
How much a couple of renders that serve the same purpose would take to make? Just to have an estimate of the alternative.
Cause really, last Cassie chapter had no animation and was by far your best content visually speaking (writing was freaking awesome too but not what we are discussing). Obviously, this was a test and all, but qualitatively speaking I think Cassie visuals were better too.
I cannot imagine anyone really care there were no animations.

Actually I care because I'm the one that wants them.
And since I'm doing this job for less than a guy making cheese fries at Checkers, my wants and desires kind of go to the top of the pile.

Well... put in those terms.... no comment!
I'm not trying to be an ass about it or anything.
Truth is I have wanted animation from day 1, years ago. But Daz was proving to be such a pain the ass working with it that I had pretty much given up.
But then like everything else I started attacking it from a different angle and now I think I have a structure that will work.
Are they necessary for the story, absolutely not. But if I can put together pretty, sexy animations at a cost of a mere 15 to 25 minutes a day, hell that's just icing in my book.
Reason I haven't done it up until now is because it simply took too long and wrestling with Daz sucked. But now I have solicited it's cooperation in short bursts and at only ~1.5 minutes per frame to render, it's worth it to me personally.
I think the other catch is that these characters have lived in my head for so long, seeing them move and 'breathe' gives me a weird pleasure. I mean this is just the start. Like everything else on this game that I've learned to do, it only gets better and faster from here.
I'll be sure to let her know.But why though? She's perfect! Could you relay that please?
I agree a lot of things got nailed very well in the Cassie chapter... [Ba-dum-tiss]. It was definitely the best full chapter yet. But if Roman's also "nailed" a system to create quality animations quickly, I don't see the drawback. As long as it doesn't detract from the overall quality or add a major drag to development time, all I see is an extra layer of immersion, which is nothing but a plus, IMO.
So far things are going good. Using Nanami Chapter 01 as a test case, I have been able to rebuild her first chapter using the new system in just under 7 days utilizing less than 2 hours a day. That was the goal and so far I'm on track. That went well enough I took the weekend to revisit some ideas of streamlining animation that I said fuck it and set aside 30 minutes to see how much of the animation I could get done. What I've posted as the test case is about 1/3 of the total animation I have planned for Amanda's chapter. So right now everything seems possible within the production limits that I've set.
I'll of course want to complete a few more chapters before calling it a success, but all these changes might be the key to getting 2 to 3 chapters out per month. Which would be fucking phenomenal!

I understand! Like you, I'd like to add animation one day, but first, I need get my basic DAZ skills developed. Good on you for moving forward!
