[Episode Izar] Progress Update VI (Patreon)

Greetings,

the last week wasn't very productive and the coming 2 -4 weeks won't be either sadly. At the moment there is quite a lot in real life going on. Therefor I'll pause the payment cycle for a month and there won't be regular progress updates in this time. After that period everything should be back to normal. If I find time I'll work on the game but most of the time I'll be occupied with real life stuff.

Alright. back to normal progress update. Last week I didn't render much but I worked on the environment and got pretty far. However, I got lost in modelling details that probably won't be visible in any render but I had fun creating them. A few more details need to be finalized and than I can start to use the environment for the renders.

Just for clarification, I'll continue to work on the game after that short 'break' as usually. It's not project fatigue or anything. It's just that private life/ real life has priority and I don't want to charge people if I don't have the time to work on stuff that that people support me for.

Images

The images this time are non-canon. They are intended as a little apology for the slow progress and the coming small pause. As all the current images I render have quite a serious tone and dark vibe I had the urge to take some time and create a little more uplifting and a little lewd image with Selene.

I also feed them to the AI and see what AI thinks would look more realistic. The first image is the original render from DAZ3D with Octane and post processing in After Effects. The following 3 images are Img2Img generation with Stable Diffusion and different models using my render as input.

What was interesting for me that the 'realistic' eyes from the AI look very different to from my original render. Maybe I can do something with the eyes to improve my original renders in quality and style.

The last image is the current state of the environment.
