So I'm at the stage now where, whilst the hamster carries on working, I'm checking the composition of the renders against the scene as a whole. So do they match the narrative still, do the images flow correctly, are there any quality issues etc.
Tedious but all part of the process. The one below, for example, I'll probably replace if I can as I'm not too happy with the light reflections. But it does show off some of the uniform detailing for those that are interested. Badges of rank, name badges etc
I don't love the tattoo. It doesn't seem Scottish. I like the overall look, though! Maybe a small scar or a bit more shoulder muscle? I have no idea what kind of dials you have on your end.
With McGruder, it seems she has a different breast shape than most other daz models do. Thumbs up for that, is good to have different representations (torpedo tits and the like).
Thank you. I can promise you that every girl has a different body shape, skin colour, breast shape/size, vagina, the works. After all I'm gunning hard on the realism.
For a bit of post Chapter Two silliness though, I'm thinking of rendering all the girl's boobs, converting them into line drawings and having a "spot the boob" competition...
Notty, you just confirmed my theory about you wanting to re-shape us into every gal's dream... after the H5 saga, we'll be disgusted by other adult games
Even if it's just comments in the code, that will make it easier for you to release the director's commentary version with fresh HQ renders once the render hamster becomes a render roadster.
Thanks Well, I know it must be frustrating wondering what on earth I am up to and where the fuck is Chapter Two? So, it seemed reasonable to share. Plus, I thought it might be useful in case any of you think about taking the plunge yourselves into dev world.

Dials? Oh, I don't have much in the way of fancy model assists. A lot of this stuff I have to do by tweaking the basics or butchering textures. The morphing stuff costs money which I don't have really, so a lot of this is done old school. It'll be interesting to see what I can achieve should I ever be able to throw some cash around tho!
That said, and yes I know H5 isn't great in respect to some of it's assets, but if I can do this on a shoestring with a 2GB card, there really isn't any excuse for games to have crappy graphics. All it takes is some effort.
The tat is a placeholder only you'll be glad to know. I've maybe one of a dozen designs I'm thinking of putting on her in the end. I'll probs take a leaf out of @RomanHume 's book and throw it open to Patron's. Hey, he nicked by UI idea! (Oh hai Roman *blows kiss* ) *is joking Roman is a top bloke and bloody helpful*

Well I am curious to be a woman or any other gender Sometimes I wish it would be like in a MMO where you can change your looks, gender, etc. with a character-creation-tool
Yep. More lifelike they look more people will make associations. No way around it. I think it's great. To be honest, Annie on some renders in Ch.1 very much resembles a former crush of mine.

To say you've inspired me to actually seriously consider it would be an understatement. Hope you won't mind if a year from now a little game pops out with a little mention of you in the credits.
That sounds like a lot of work, to actually make renders for each choosen option. But of course it is awsome!
With race options you mean in terms of humans, right? Not some aliens?
Oh and don't forget the breat and penis size sliders
Yeah that's what I think too. I like the gender option, but the race option(s) are IMO not worth it. Even with a first person view, it sounds like a ton of renders to make.

Well it is always the decition of a dev. to decide if it is worth it, but in a game with render images a race option seems like to much of an effort. Not that I wouldn't like it though

I'm wedded to both fem and race options. Not only because I rather want to do them but also I've publicly stated I would on the Patron page.
It won't actually be to tricky to do tbh, and will be something routine I can just run in the background whilst working on whatever comes next.(also if Ava doesn't get to shag Annie, she'll kill me I suspect)
Sliders for boobs and penis are a bit beyond the project scope however. Having had to render a growing erection in this Chapt was quite enough work as it was!
