Judging by the previews, visit to Nia is one of the events of the next update. I swear, if it turns out she's another lovable girl that you can't miss, with a heartbreaking background, I officially pledge the path of the Titan of Solitude. "Too many choices making me afraid." No girls at all, just glorious basketball!
of course she's lovable. not sure about heartbreaking background, but that's something we can work on if she wants to

Okay, everyone, enough about dumb rendering arguments that nobody cares about or understands.

Here is the real debate that should be going on: Who is the obvious and natural soulmate of Nika based solely on physical appearance:

I do not believe in coincidence when it comes to choosing a name. :p

Same here even Nami too :)
Actually I thought about it and here's my top10(probably forgot a few)
  1. Cece from Leap of Faith
  2. Jaye from Chasing Sunset
  3. Amrit from STWA:Unbroken
  4. Bella from Summer's Gone
  5. Roxy from University of Problems
  6. Alex from Isabella: Dark Paths
  7. Astrid from Snowstorm
  8. Lucy from Hillside
  9. Cindy from Our Red String
  10. Luna from the DeLuca Family
I couldn't put Mia, Kindra, Shani, Erika, any character from Eternum, Aymee, Miru, Elena, Nikki etc. on the list but I believe this is it for me though I noticed I really put Bella in top5.

Not even top 5 in this game.

Mila
Zarah
Nami
Damian the dwarf
The alien Sentinel
...
Marla

Coach Stahl
Bella
Truth, I never liked Bella all too well. Mostly because she has less personality than one of my dog's turds. But, I guess, it is not her personality the masses seem to like.

Can you provide a scene that you rendered over 2 hours? I'll try to render at least 6x faster and then have a laugh.
No buddy, it doesn't work that way here. Create something of your own and post your works in the appropriate threads. So you will create a reputation for yourself and maybe people will trust your opinion. So far, there is zero content from you - you are just a new user who came to quarrel with people.
Will I send my work, used assets and .duf files to unknown dude? I spent a lot of time and inspiration thinking about the scenes, looking for the necessary assets, putting it all together, not for you to just copy it and press the "render" button ... For the possibility that you can make a fake copy of mine that looks worse and also declare it as your work, hurting my busin ...ahem...reputation. :ROFLMAO:

So my answer is no, I won't send you anything. And apparently, there is nothing to talk about anymore. Bye.

Hah, it's exactly the opposite for me. Victoria is the least interesting for me.
So far I see it like this:
1. Bella
2. Nami
3. Zara
4. Slavic girl with a scar (Sasha, right?) I have been playing for a long time
5. Mila

Btw, anyone have thoughts on Vanessa? She scares the hell out of me.

Hook me up with some of those sweet sweet sage files of yours.

Shush... [looks around] it's shadow goods! Not exactly legal! Not in such a public place and I'll push it to you at a discount. :LOL:

Erm, just want to add that Geralt does render. He often posts his works on these forum. Decent quality too. However just want to add a slight caveat.. Utilising DoF actually increases render times in many instances. You also use DoF to differentiate what a person should be looking at.
No kidding. Even most people who don't know how to do render knows that. Only arrogant fools who think they know what they are talking about but really don't have a clue would think the "blurred background" is quicker to render.

i mean technically you can quite easily... If your name is DPC and have 8 PCs all with 4090s... Then you can do it. But us mere mortals? hah. Good luck with that.
I'm not sure even DPC with all his equipment can do that many a day. And I know this is blasphemy to the ears of DPC diehard fans, but while his work is great, Ocean's work is at another level.

You didn't learn how to read like that... We were talking about rendering time and not about creating a scene from scratch.
8 hours later, no render? You failed to be a good dev. You have zero credibility. The clock ticked and you wasted time generating excuses.

Doesn't matter what you said, I put you a challenge that is actually pertinent, realistic and depends on you putting your money where your mouth is, maybe you should read through everyone's replies in general and start to notice the bigger picture.

The thing is, some angry... 'consumers' (or pirates) judge devs for taking too long with the updates. A good dev also spends time designing the scene, deciding which characters will show up (some make storyboards and sketches to get a better idea). They have to chose the best lighting, and my poor knowledge of DAZ is that it's very problematic with facial expressions, so they make sure to fix that so the models don't look like trolls or weird (gentle nudge to Ocean's earlier models of Nami and Bella smiling :KEK:).
A dev with generic models, not good enough render quality, basic (amateurish) clothes with bad textures and a very simplistic story like "MC has a huge dick and he always bangs all the girls and they all love him and it's harem" will usually throw updates quicker than a dev who actually focuses on render quality, a coherent story and complex dialogue.

Some entitled people in this site seem to underestimate all the work the dev has to do. It's not just 'push the button and render!'. They have to tweak some models and sometimes edit some renders, they have to get good music and deal with licenses, they have to design the scenarios, choose the animations, write dialogue and story, maake a general revision to see if everything fits and even then sometimes they make last minutes changes (Oh, dev wants to render an awesome detailed scene with 8 characters? Best I can do is 4, or I'll melt!).
And then again, devs are people, shocker. Some have families, you can't expect a human being to be working all day long without time for recreational time, breaks, socializing, sick days etc.

Then when you try to explain these things to them, they tell you you're ass kissing...but oh well. I've not always like some of Ocean's decisions and character changes, but that doesn't mean I'm going to avoid mentioning how ridiculous some people are, treating the devs (not just Ocean) as robots who are supposed to produce readymade renders like a little factory.
