Don't sell yourself short, I am continually impressed by what you have pulled off, despite the recent setbacks. I am sure you will have it soon, and we will all be playing the first chapter before long.

Wanted to get these up ahead of time, so you could use them if you wanted for the month.

Hard to say exactly, we are getting really close, but there are still a few more things to add, and a few more systems to fully test. With any luck, we should have a new test build in a few days for our testers at least.
Here are a few test renders from a while back...

Not a photo hot shot but security camera with infrared capacity slowly turn to shades of grey when the lights go down. Maybe try something mono chromatic with the spots from the lamp posts be overly bright. I don't know those are iseas tossed up in the air you surely have more experience than me with that.
Yes, like Houtamelo said, in the advanced mode, you will have the option to spend points to build your stats, and we are thinking about ways to let you raise them as we go.

Not sure how to do that without going into photoshop and do post work, which I am trying to avoid when I can (it's painful to my disabled arm). That said, I have a little ghost light near the player for this set to illuminate that area a bit, and I think it's coming out pretty well. I added a bit of a blue tint, but not enough to throw off the colors too much.
I am not thrilled that the spotlights are not throwing shadows from the streetlight poles, but I can't figure out why. Shadows are turned on, so I have no clue. Otherwise, I think it came out pretty well (other than the asset being overused now
).

Well about the blue tint we would need a comparison with a normal render to see the difference ( at least with my monitor) To show night vision I would try to not be affraid to throw of colors with the tiniting ( for first person point of view)Yes, like Houtamelo said, in the advanced mode, you will have the option to spend points to build your stats, and we are thinking about ways to let you raise them as we go.And if you do not like that idea, you can just use the normal mode, and just chose your primary and secondary focus.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

I relooked at both renders you posted here and while the second one looks nicer indeed, the light spots on the ground, at least the first on the left, is alinged with the lamp post and not the bulb if look at the lamp post in the back.
I look forward to trying this game.
Thanks, this is about my 4th or 5th time redoing this scene, just on the lighting. lol Earliest ones were just awful, I spent a lot of time learning how to make and pose people, how to edit and create props, write the story, starting to learn animation, and all that fun stuff, but I am still pretty new with lighting, though I feel like I am getting a lot better with it, and can only improve from here.
This isn't the first one, but it is one of the oldest ones I can find easily...

I do have the spotlights lined up with the bulbs, but hey, it's daz... =/ Oh well, one day I plan to move fully over to Blender, but I have a ways to go before I can texture and pose as well there.
I can't wait to be able to show it to all of you. Hopefully that will be soon, we are starting to get into the nitpicky stuff, galleries, and focusing more on the details, since most of the larger stuff is basically done.

well lighting is a real art. knowing how to light a sceen properly is hard as it is not necessarly the first task you set out to do when creating renders and one that can be time consuming to learn. The lighting can make even give older games a breath of fresh air with mods or can rendr an other game unplayable. Harem Hotel comes to mind. Honey select as a desing tool show it's age, but with the mods and his skills Runey is able to deliver something that is realy great to look at. I have no doubt that in time you will develop those skill to. Having to do night vision for a vampire where the lighting must look special but still natural seems like one of those deep ends for the lighting skills. Come to think of it when I watch shows on TV with my GF we always laugh at the fact that day pass instantly to night without going throught dusk. Just shows how hard lighting realy is.

Ah so that's what Paradox Interactive meant when they told us that they put more competent team to work on Vampires: Bloodlines 2.

While working today I was rethinking about the lighting discution and I rememberd a video i saw not long ago about lighting in CGI interviewing someone at Weta Digital. (mainly about Alita: Battle Angel). Rewatched it and turns out it is more about realistic skin in CGI but it has a lot to do with light and how different surface and what is underneath react to it. And trying to Render those things on a home computer seams to be the equivalent of commiting suicide for the said computer. Non the less it might be a glimpse of what we will be able to render in the future.
