Sorry the teaser image isn't as...spicy as the last few. Sad fact is, the spicer ones sadly give too much story away. Which some may think is an interesting concept, but it is not a lie when someone says a picture is worth 1000 words. Arguably what this means is that you can tell a lot about an individual from a photo. Does this translate into a VN.... no not really, but no spoilers damn it!
So last week was a bit hit and miss. I got plenty done, but as usual, not as much as I would like. My Saturday was thrust away from me helping a friend put in his dock....there may have also been drinking. Regardless, I am now more than halfway through the monster scene and hope that since I can reuse some previous renders to a degree(I'm not going to go cheap and easy, I will do it right) the back half will go much faster given about a quarter lines up similar, but due to path changes, is still different.
It is nice that we can see above that Annie is happier. I know it puts me at ease seeing her feeling better. Setting up sad Annie renders is about as much fun as sticking a pine cone where the sun don't shine.
I'll be honest, this update is already longer than I anticipated, but I suppose pontification can have it's benefits. I have a strong feel for what I am doing now, I know where things are in DAZ in regards to sliders etc, how big and how bright to make my mesh lights, easier methods for posing, and on top of that, I am finding it easier and easier to find items, props, poses, clothes, etc thanks to Roy's organization.
At this point it is simply getting time during the day to do setup. Some days allow me far more time over others. I set out to do game renders Monday through Friday, but I try to avoid the weekend unless I have a absolutely crap week where nothing got done which is why I had wanted to work last weekend, but when a friend asks for help, you help them....Also beer is a good motivator for me.... which might be why I really helped.
We still have daily or almost daily instagram renders. Good way to see my progress to a degree as I always tend to figure something new out. Like the newest thing that I learned. While I knew in DAZ that you can virtually hide a mesh light, it will not reflect if it is almost invisible. This means no eye glint....I'm a dumb.
In the words of one of my favorite TikTokers "Anyhootie", I'll shut up and let you all get on with your day. As always, don't be afraid to hop on here and comment or shoot us a message. Remember the discord is open too. We're always happy to visit with people so never be afraid to come say "hi!".
Take care, all of you wonderful people.
Just don't forget,
Bottoms up,
