Just wanted to say that the idea of having to replay other similar games as a result of an update would fill me with dread. But I'm honestly looking forward to starting TNH over again from scratch, and I mean that as a glowing review.

Sigh...while I appreciate the effort I think the time would be used better to make new...renders...poses whatever instead of having to redo them all 20 times for all the possible permutations of tattoos, piercings or whatever else this is supposed to be. Nonetheless because I know I won't use them anyway...

Nah, they arent redoing the poses, thats not how the art of this game is implemented, they use layers to add effects.Sigh...while I appreciate the effort I think the time would be used better to make new...renders...poses whatever instead of having to redo them all 20 times for all the possible permutations of tattoos, piercings or whatever else this is supposed to be.

Luckily he doesn't have to redo things for every tattoo. Things like tattoos are a separate texture that get applied on top of the standard character one if the game calls for it to be applied.Sigh...while I appreciate the effort I think the time would be used better to make new...renders...poses whatever instead of having to redo them all 20 times for all the possible permutations of tattoos, piercings or whatever else this is supposed to be.

But don't you have to redraw the tattoo for every pose as well due to perspective or can software warp that correctly by now?

Sort of yes. He would take the same tattoo texture and rotate it to fit in the different poses. Currently there are 6 poses. Standing, hands and knees, doggy, missionary, leaning back, and prone blowjob. Looks like he is adding a few more poses in the upcoming updates.
Takes time, but not really as much as a "render time" issue like daz things. The characters are more like paper dolls with plug in pieces that are animated.
Here are all the files that apply to Jean in the standing position right now for example

The tattoos are busybody artwork making.

Yeah, I know that they are 2D paperdolls and that they aren't pre-rendered in the same way a 3D full renders.

You are right that he would probably need to make separate tattoo texture files for every pose. But I guess it's something that doesn't concern him for workload.

I saw Eva_Kiss kinda lamenting that all the customization starts to really add to the workload for every scene, so...
Then again, her scenes are done very specifically and they aren't generic "sex scenes" that you only need to do once.

Fixed that for you. Becoming metal is never an "issue".
I'll take alt/metal Jean as a compromise to not having Madelyne Pryor. Though, I do want to be a little greedy and have Jean dress up as Madelyne when the budget allows for it.

Even Madelyne isnt all fucked up and filled with tattoos though.

Yeah, she has separate doll pieces for every new scene in the story. Sandbox style actually saves time in this instance I suppose. At least for art.
The art still is a development bottleneck though. ronchon repeats this often.

You only now just realized this?

Guys. I think these super powered people hated, ostracized, and made fringe might have had an unbalanced upbringing. It might be giving them issues.
This Jean lady also has a cosmic force merged into her. Might cause a bit of unbalance in her psyche. Maybe.

Yeah. As much as I like goth/alt things, it's not like I want it applied on everyone. I like spicy food, but I don't like chili spices put in my milkshakes.
Jean will stay face piercing and tattoo free in my earth-69 continuities.

If reading through dark phoenix taught me anything, is that Jean's problems would have been solved if Xavier had helped her through some talking sessions and Scott hadnt been overworked and could give it to her good daily, we are skipping the potential destruction of earth with talking and laying good pipe fellas!Guys.

I find them heavily trashy and honestly out of character for all of these girls, theres a good reason why they dont have tattoos canonically.
