*incredibly I re-rendered this one back in June as I didn't like the lighting on the version I'd made in March....

To this...

Nottravisgames: TOTALLY fucking remastering the shit out of everything!
Now THAT is a proper gym! The white walls are almost blindingly bright: all the better to see the blood splatters!

YVOOOOOOOOONNE!! <3 <3 <3
I know you like her, but was that really the first thing your eyes fell on? :p Great posters and Gym looking way better indeed. The two ladies are seriously enchanting as well.
What DA22 said, Huity: your eyesight is 20/20 to spot Yvonne on the poster when there are four pairs of beautiful eyes right in the way. To my great shame I didn't notice her at first (and I really love redheads...) :D

*peeks in*

*reads and smiles*

One correction tho.

That trip from Phoebe to Ophion? It's longer :)

The five days is purely the time it's taking for the Intrepid to slingshot around the system and loop back over Ophion.

The "Big I" isn't stopping.

For her to stop over Ophion and then move off again would burn a shit ton of fuel both times. So she doesn't. They pass over Ophion, launch Vanguard and carry on, slingshoting around the system to be able to pick Vanguard up again in five days.

After all, five days is plenty of time to do a simple repair job....

*poofs*
That depends on how simple the repair is, as well as the people repairing it ...and if they can keep their hands off the power switch!
Np.

I only very lightly touched on it in Chapter One. One of those things that I needed to know for internal consistency and world building but didn't think anyone would be interested in! :)
The power of Lore Nerds!!!! RAAAAHHH!!!!
True villainy would also need a :D
Russian works pretty well too.

I mean, I thought Germans were funny ...Awkward!
Not at all.
My point is that any civilian business manager or custodian of a public establishment would understandably be wary when confronted by a group of young, energetic, drunk people, whether they are wearing uniforms or not.
Um, yes! Drunk or not, any large group is a pain in the ass, never mind if they are ...energetic.
Who said they were drunk! They were very well mannered from what I gathered from the letter *sage nods*
Well, the report DID say they ran out of alcohol, and someone (no names mentioned) had to get more.
*sceptical Sulring is sceptical?*
ACIO so you get what out what you put in, right? XD
She'll look good in anything. And even better with nothing View attachment 418350
Same goes for Chris, Sarah, Kelly or even Trisha...:whistle:
Wasn't there some new rule about the uniforms being nothing now ...something about saving rendering time? :unsure: I am pretty sure I say that on the news, so it must be true.
Only happened because you chose it to happen...

*smiles sweetly*
I choose nothing.jpg
Wasn't that supposed to be tomorrow, though? :unsure:
Time zones are hard... Especially when you work graveyard shift.
Oh :(

I saw the message when I first got up this morning, thinking it was from last night (for her) but I guess not.

*pouts miserably*

Look at it this way... you have something else to look forward to tomorrow now! ;)
For me it will still be later today... XD
Yep, if you're pacific time.
I am...
But can I get the ass I want by letting it sit on me? specifically my face?

So 5:00 PDT, Frappy.:p

While it is already tomorrow in the UK, it will not be tomorrow enough for the Chadwick Files until it's tomorrow here as well.

Slightly more than 12 hours away. I can make it.

So, aside from myself and TheDevian are there any other PDT folks in here? Or are we the odd ones out?

If it helps you feel less isolated my wife is currently in an MDT area? :unsure:

The difference between those two is even more impressive since, as you said, you've already reworked on this specific piece before. Yet, the lighting, the composition, the setting of the room, everything is leagues ahead! (And my little Scottish redhead loveGruder is there as well, which is a big plus <3)
Edit: You know @Nottravis you have improved so much it makes it hard for us to find new superlatives to appreciate it, you meanie. :p
*beams proudly* I know, right? :)

The odd thing is I have no idea why! Well, I mean, yes I know what I've done to change them of course - but just not sure why it's suddenly clicked. Probs an accumulation of this, that and the other that I've learned on individual scenes (especially from the work on Four) that I'm now able to apply to the earlier stuff. But, I'll be honest, I'm surprising myself with some of them.

There is also a little sense of "Fuck it. Let's just see how good I can make it and sod the time" which is helping as I spend more time of set dressing etc.

But here's the odd thing. I'm rendering faster too. Those two examples? The first basic one took 40 minutes. The complex one only around 25. I suspect it's the impact of lighting. Certainly the "Lounge of doom" is no quite so "doomy." It used to take nearly two hours to do a lounge scene. Now, without chars, closer to 30 minutes.

With Daz, lighting is absolutely sodding everything...

Interesting. I thought the Intrepid was doing the slingshot trip to reach Phoebe since both are Earth like planets capable of supporting human life and should be close to each other (inside the star's habitable zone).
Understandable as, again, I didn't really go into it into a lot of depth as I feared it would bore the crap out of people (remember they're weren't exactly an awful lot of complex VN plots going around when I launched...).

But Phoebe is in a diffo system. It's why they didn't find Phoebe -until- they'd set up on Ophion. Hence all the base reshuffling going on. Notty's big book of lore has it to be a two month trip from Ophion to Phoebe.
