So much grain it's shameful...Most importantly, it's not grainy at all. Although, I admit I've never noticed that about the original before seeing the comparison.

I'm divided. On one hand, the new renders are so much more vivid and alive, on the other hand, I feel nostalgic already for the grainy old renders. They were the ones that made me fall in love with the game. Or to be more accurate, I fell in love with the game and didn't mind the grain at all.
Feels like seeing the girl you've been dating for months wearing make-up for the first time.

Amazing. So vibrant it feels almost like a different game.

Guessing from the more vibrant colours, I guess the first one is the new render again?
It also looks a bit sharper, like, I could almost scan the barcode on that pack of might-be-marlboros.
You were close 8 was 8 hours!
The only thing I can think of is how strange of a couch that is to have on a spaceship... I hope it's attached.
Don't buy it for a second! I know you plan every pixel to mean something! It's a message, written in code that only the truly faithful followers of the ACIO Cult can even begin to understand!!!!
The quality of the renders was a big part of why I tried this game in the first place, so I am happy either way.
That said, on grain, we have a new denoiser built into daz in the filters tab, and there are post processing denoisers you can run images though after the fact (though I haven't tried that myself). The new filter works pretty well for me, it's only a few really difficult (shiny) things That cause problems.
annie looks much better with the new lighting. her skin tone was kinda unnatural before

Not shameful at all. Like I said, it's subtle enough that I didn't even notice it.
Let's not forget we wouldn't be here at all if it weren't for your and the old hamster's efforts. You made the best of what little resources you had back then.
Exactly. Press F to pay homage to Bear, the render hamster (Y-Y)7Not shameful at all. Like I said, it's subtle enough that I didn't even notice it.

Thank you - and I agree. She looked odd in those old ones.
Of course it is. Well I didn't figure they'd have just a benchThe only thing I can think of is how strange of a couch that is to have on a spaceship... I hope it's attached.
*must try that at some point*
That's true enoughLet's not forget we wouldn't be here at all if it weren't for your and the old hamster's efforts. You made the best of what little resources you had back then.
Thanks to my dyslexia, I thought you said to buy the RH a beer!
While just turning on the setting will add more time to your render in and of itself, you will find that you will not need to run the renders for as long to get the same, if not better results. Like anything in Daz, it will take some tweaking to get it to where you are happy, and various scenes with have different requirements due to this, that, and the other fucking thing...

Better lighting and detailed shadows, plus more vibrant colours. Nice.

Oh my, this tool kit has even a pain/bruises gradation as it is arranged on the wall from left to right... a whip, really??Last one *promises*
It's just I feel a can be a bit spoilery on the SP as you know what is coming. Less so about the other scenes...

Look at that tool kit! *cackles!*
Wut, for a full whipping?! Pure evil!
As Notty stated, we will have the opportunity to ask Amanda about comrade Philby photo... will do my research after her response.
Nice redo, more contrast and shadows enhance her b... i approve!
Well, so a simple stock photo!
Wow wow, now the shag option at that moment is not an option anymore!
"Annie, stop your grinnin' and drop your linen!"
But so revealing!Lighting is hard...

Sensible approach. I, however, will continue with my mad theories! I may get something right one day!As Notty stated, we will have the opportunity to ask Amanda about comrade Philby photo... will do my research after her response.

Well luckily we also enjoy her company, so that is a win-win in my book.BTW, that was a quick week, you just can't get enough of us, can you?
Well I agree that the first render is of way better quality indeed and looks way more clear in the details, but for some reason in the old pic her eyes speak more to me somehow. Ah well never some small losses with great gains.

Well I guess he is a part of the Profumo affair, not that into old British spies though Miss Keeley did look nice for a 60's woman.Sensible approach. I, however, will continue with my mad theories! I may get something right one day!

Me too! But, alas, I suspect Notty won't confirm any of them until after they have been proven in the game or after CH10 is out, whichever happens soonest!Sensible approach. I, however, will continue with my mad theories! I may get something right one day!

Might be also fun to know after ch 10 ends if she made any changes or additions based upon our speculations. Those would be minor I suspect since the main story is already written.Me too!
