Resident Post: Daz update in April?
Hi guys! ^_^
View attachment 4707477
This scene is taking forever to render but I'm REALLY hoping it'll be worth it
What I've been up to:
This week I've made around half of a new harassment series that extends as the game continues, a new Exhibitionism event in the West District but mainly I've been focused on the largest scene of the patch; the scene that actually begins Sharon's route in game.

These images look incredibly crisp because I accidentally rendered this scene in 4k and downsized the images xD
Big Scene:
I said last week that this patch doesn't have that BIG sexy scene in it but this is pretty close. I'm not gonna lie, it's a very high tension (sexual tension) scene that's just oozing kinkiness and I'm really hoping that this one will be well received because I am
completely in love with this scene so far. You'll have to play through all of Sharon's content to unlock it which will be tracked in game by a variable that's viewable in the game's Journal but this is definitely worth the investment imo ^_^
Mandatory GPU gripes:
The problem however is that without a working batch renderer, every single frame has to be actioned when I'm sitting at my pc. Some of these final CGs have as many as 6 renders each taking at least 10 minutes to churn out which is stressing me out because of down time. I know I've mentioned this a couple of weeks running now but I really can't stress enough how limiting this process is.
I have considered making this scene in particular, a fair amount shorter as it's taking so long but I know that I'd be unhappy with that result and any time I saw this scene or thought about it, I'd be thinking about the "what could've been" so I'm sticking with the vision (which was actually assisted by a user!) and making the full thing lol ^_^
For what it's worth; if I was a player, I'd
love this scene xD

No, your eyes do not deceive you. It's actually happening! ^_^
Daz Update:
Obviously because of how slow my workflow is right now, I'm staying as current as I can when it comes to Daz's 5.0 update. Daz themselves haven't stated anything regarding it as far as I'm aware but Nvidia did post that an update regarding Daz's software was coming in April:
You must be registered to see the links
So here's hoping that there's good news in the near future!!
When Daz inevitably update things it won't just speed up my current workflow but I estimate that I'll be working around 30%~ faster than I was in 2023/2024 because of the extra VRAM and not needing to optimize my scenes as heavily. The added cuda cores will probably increase the speed at which I can preview scenes as well so
HURRY UP DAZ!!

These scenes are available from the start of the game which is why Lisa's Blouse is shown here ^_^
I'm gonna wrap this up here folks. I've had a long week and I don't want to spend much time away from pressing on with the game.
I'm hoping over the next week to get at least the bulk of the Sharon scene completed but really the outdoor section of this scene is by far the most complicated given current circumstances (Lisa's hot tub set it a doozy to render because it's built with several different sets all meshed together). When I get to the next section I think the batch renderer should be at least somewhat functional which will really speed things up.
But that's about it! I've been a little quiet this past week but I'm back now and brimming with Lisa fuel xD
Thank you so much
everyone for all of your support, it means the world to me.
Sincerely x
Talk soon ^_^! <3!
