Yes, I'd like to see that. It's like movies - you will not watch porn or erotic movies all the time, you will also want to watch movies with good storyline and acting. I like how looks your attached render and render in your avatar. Good luck with this!
Thanks for the compliment; I'm glad you like it. I'm attaching one more... I don't know if anyone will like it, but I'm trying to do my best.
I think the photos are quite taken out of context; maybe that's why you didn't quite understand the intention, but that's okay. I think it's quite difficult to understand what it's about without the rest of the stuff. The time for these shots is in the evening, when the sun is setting, but these two photos are not the original ones found in the game. In the past, I've rendered a lot of stuff, and a few days later I started seeing problems and had to redo it. So what I do now is rather render a couple of images (I don't think any HDRI was used on these two, just "Dome and Scene") and always come back to them later and make them into the final version. I wanted it to be a little darker and have cool colors for these shots. Through what is discussed in the story during these scenes and what music is playing in the background, it fit quite well for me, and in the end, I was quite satisfied. But, as the saying goes, "100 people, 100 tastes" hehe. And you're right, I think Ocean does a great job, but it's not for everyone. I know many players who don't like the visuals, but luckily I don't belong to that group.
I'm not very good at explaining things, but 99% of my pictures have the sky as the main light source. Of course, such light does not reach everywhere, so then I try to illuminate it with the help of classic "spotlights", if necessary.
To be honest, I don't really enjoy classic sex scenes anymore. Especially lately, I've found it boring because in every game, it's the same animations made from loops for $10. I didn't even create any for Chapter 1, because I'm not yet experienced enough in animation to allow myself to do something like that, but maybe I'll try something in the future. The main thing for me is that those scenes arise naturally, and if the sex scene doesn't suit me, it won't be there. I don't want to do something I'm not happy with just to satisfy someone's taste.
But only you decide how to make your game.Your game with male MC? They all just living together or survive after something happened? It's really nice that you creating this story together with your wife.
I didn't find your comment mean or offensive; no need to apologize. I'm just glad that you wrote what you think; that's important to me.Sorry for my comment about lighting, it's because your renders have great quality and details, after Summer's Gone I got "eyes fetish" and would like to see them in good lighting.
Basically, yes, but the player will always see the story through the eyes of another character, so I don't want to say that it's only about the one main character. But at least for Chapters 1 and 2, it can be said that he is male.
These are exactly the mistakes I mentioned above. I personally did not notice it even though I work on a 27" monitor, but thanks for the warning.
It's almost invisible if you're looking at the image at original size, but I liked those eyes and zoomed in to see details and noticed it. But despite this details are great.
I was hoping no one would mention it, haha
Oh, sorry.I was hoping no one would mention it, haha
But the truth is, when I created her and gave her this hair, I didn't even remember that Summer, Josy, or Nami had it too. My wife pointed this out to me when she first saw it (she's a pretty big SG fan). But I don't mind; I like the hair, so I used it.
Well, even if someone told me that I was trying to copy something or someone, they wouldn't be very successful, because my first attempts looked disastrous.Oh, sorry.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with using the same models, hair etc in different games. It's like in real life the same actress starred in many movies, but unlike the actress in real life, in DAZ you can easily change model's body for example, and she won't look exactly same.
Just today I was looking at my first render attempts when I started, and I have to admit that it is a huge shift. I'm at a stage where I'm still learning a lot of things, and I've long since understood that time is the most important thing. Over time, a person only improves if he is interested in improving. I will give two photos for comparison. I believe there is a significant difference there.
In the past, I didn't use DOF at all. But over time, I grew to like it, and I think it will improve the look of the image quite a bit. I'm trying to focus on the character or object that the particular picture is about. So, for example, if she is talking in the picture, I don't see much point in showing the background, which can be more expressive in detail and color than the character itself. In addition, I want people to focus on the figure when looking at the picture and not on the background. I probably don't have any other reason for it, but this is generally done in video clips, movies, or other games, even if you might not notice it the first time. At the moment, I consider it a result that I like. Maybe in a few months I'll look at it and see it as a very bad job.
The quality of your renders doesn't need animations, IMHO. There are those here, and elsewhere, that do like the story and general artistry of the game over the overused animations. There are other avenues you can use to keep sex/intimacy in your story without defaulting to the "bow-chicka-wow-wow" feel of many, many others.
You won't believe me, but you described it exactly as I imagined it, and I really like that. I imagined it in such a way that I would do the sex scenes from such an "artistic point of view." I don't have to create raw porn scenes at all costs, but maybe give it some romantic atmosphere, focus on facial expressions, touches, and many other things that could be created in the process. The only truth is that I saw this as something that no one would accept, and they would look at me as a fool, so I decided not to create those scenes at all.
