Development update - Chapter 1 Part 4 (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

This week I continued working on the last scene. As you already know, it's massive, so it's step-by-step. You'll probably be glad to hear that I've started animating again. As always, I challenge myself a little. I found a tool that makes the animations more realistic. I tried it, it doesn't have the control I like it to have, but it's great at what it's doing, so it can be useful in this set of animations, not all of them, but probably some of them. Other than that, I have been testing animations and posing animations. Not much to say about it, just that we are moving forward and it's looking good. So one animation is already posed, and I am in the middle of another one. Unfortunately, I already noticed quite a few renderers that need fixing. It's a dark scene with a ton of reflections, and sometimes I miss things in the preview. Small details that bug me, but most can be fixed in post-editing, while others I need to change the actual product or textures to make them look good enough for my eyes.

Visual status
Static renders: 2,007⬆️
Animations: 18⬆️

Currently, we have over 2000 renders for this update, and I am confident it will go beyond 2300. This means book 1 will have more than 7,000 renders.

Renders

• We hit 2000 Discord users and rising, for that, I created a render to celebrate the occasion (blame Benson). Get it here.

• Some soul rendering, Jisoo made another appearance - here.

• Grinnin' Weasel's Den's custom - Giovanna's lazy morning, loved every second of creating it, GWD ideas are really close to my style when it comes to posing and models, looking forward to more customs - here.

Previews

NSFW Dianna and Shani dropped. Check it out here.

Polls

Still got 3 days left to vote. It looks pretty even right now, with Mercy in the lead. 2 strong voters have voted for her, but there are more votes for Gio overall (Patreon and SS combined), so it's not finished yet.
Didn't vote yet? You can still do it here.

Thank you, and have a great weekend.
