Chapter 4 Final Bibi-log 2/1
Hello,
It wasn't planned to do a second Bibi Log to tell people what's up with the final... But I underestimated Daz's scene opening times.
So, I'm currently 390/600 rendered images into the Final.
As you can clearly see, shit slowed down.
Many that have been following me for quite some time, might know that Daz has some atrocious loading times. (It loads all the morphs up for every character.)
On top of that... I had some problems building the outside of the college. There weren't any suitable assets and I had to improvise. That took a while.
But to give something back, I have some new comparisons and one simple Chapter 4 preview. (High Res for download at the bottom.)
Now I customized quite a lot and I have a clear vision of what I want to go for. s, a very big environment.
We start with the evening scenes after visiting Victoria.

The new one more or less still follows the same routine... But has a different atmosphere. Dialogue also got adjusted.

The early college parts are probably the biggest issue the game had.

As you can see... You see nothing. Regium had a 1070 and I had a 1060 at that time... None of us could put some actual people there... Nor did we have the experience.
Now I customized quite a lot o stuff and I have a clear vision of what I want to go for.

The biggest issue was that it all felt so empty. No immersion whatsoever... But we simply didn't have the computing power.
And my 3090s failed me more than once rendering those scenes. But that's not even the biggest issue these scenes cause.
It's the unbearable screen freezes and lags that come with a gigantic scene like that. Tons of visible and hidden characters and this results in a scene that has like 2FPS and screen freezes that take up to 20 seconds.
But that's sadly Daz... It's not optimized to support these heavy scenes.
Old
The biggest issue here... Old Ayua.
Like what the fuck... God, did I hate this model.
New
The new version now features the current Ayua model with her Ch2/Ch3 hair. (It's her changing the hair. Not me.)
So yeah, I just wanted to update you guys that it might take a week or two longer... It takes like 40-90min to open a scene. (Depends on the characters.)
And I put 30 renders into the queue and woke up to 5 images being rendered...
To end this little bibi log... Here's a first Ch4 preview of Mila.
