I am really going all out on this update. I think this is my favorite update of all my games thus far. I'm trying out a few different things that I think y'all will enjoy.
- Thread starter Abere Lucifer Productions
- Start date
Can't wait to get a taste of what's to come.
So I got to rendering a little late today. I had my PC on all night last night deleting unused DAZ3D assets and was hoping it'd be done by the time I woke up. I was wrong. Really wrong. It didn't get finished until almost 4pm. It is done now and I'm rendering.
The rendering time really hasn't gone up at all but the posing part has. In this update I'm trying to show more movement with the characters. One of the things I've been really guilty of Is just moving the camera around so scenes don't look repetitive when dialog is happening. The characters barely move at all. In this update the charters are moving around a lot. Y'all got a small taste of it in the last Extra Credit update in the police station. I wanted to see if it'd look good. I think it did. Now I'm doing that on a larger scale. So far it's looking really good.
Here's a tiny sample.

So, this meme I saw recently got me thinking of Mary Sue.
"Squirrels are like cigarettes. They are harmless until you put one in your mouth and light it on fire."

Luna wearing the "High Class White Trash" tee is hilarious!
34 render in about 4 hours. Not too bad. This scene is finished. On to the next tomorrow. Stay tuned...

The stories that those cut off jeans could tell.
I've been rendering since 6:45AM. I plan to put in a 12+ hour day today. I might still be able to get the Alpha out tomorrow but it'll probably be Monday or Tuesday. It depends how long the renders take. Stay tuned...
I rendered for 11 hours and 15 minutes today. This is where I'll start tomorrow. I give you Christine pre-main character. Stay tuned..
Good morning y'all! Rendering will begin soon.

Question. Does spending so much time looking at your characters draw you closer to them, or does all the work you put into setting up scenes and renders make you more acutely aware that they're fictional?
I'm not sure. I'm very aware that they're fiction but I did create them and enjoy watching their stories grow. Hmm. Tough question.

I thought that he was asking if creating the pictures made you want to relieve stress.
Please do not answer that question.
I've been a little quiet today because I've been rendering since around 10:30AM. I've got a few more renders left to do for the flashback scene. This Alpha is going to have way more than 200 renders. I'm not sure what the full update will have though because I have yet to finish the script for the 2nd half of the update. As I said I hope for TS 0.9 to be quite long. Stay tuned...

Appreciate the response. As with most things its kind of complicated isn't it? I was reflecting on how we can become sort of attached to fictional characters, and wondered if it might be even more so when you are the one who created them. But that's balanced by just how much work you put into setting up the scenes and rendering them. I kind of likened it to reading a story and something pulls you out of the immersion. The rendering and so on seems like it would have a similar effect.
I've never really gotten attached to fictional characters like a lot of people do. I enjoy them but I don't really get emotionally attached to them. I get attached to real people, my friends and family, but not really fictional ones. I do get immersed into stories though.
I worked 7 and a 1/2 hours today. Not bad. I'm about 75% done with the renders. This is where I start tomorrow. Stay tuned...
