Happy New Week!

I fumbled the Jeep stream on Saturday. I had completely forgotten it was Memorial Day weekend and had a surprise visit by my family. But I got back on track Sunday and did the stream then.

  Jeep came out great! Got everything textured and rigged. Doors, wheels, steering, windows, trunk and seats all rigged up. And yes, the backseat does recline down.

It required some work, since I had to decimate the model a bit, mainly the tire's treads. But it came out great and really love the quality of this model. A couple of tweaks needed. I need to create some dirt maps to dirty it up, but compared to the import and rigging, that'll be super simple.

I wrapped up another scene last week and I'll be doing to some prep work for another set piece, while also starting the next scene this week. I also need to do an upgrade to my NAS. My current NAS has spinning disks and I need to move Artemis project and DAZ/Blender libraries to the new NAS which will have all NVME drives. I know I blame a lot on DAZ, but something I noticed is when accessing libraries or even navigating folders. Things hang for a few seconds and I can hear the drives go to work. So I'll be moving things over sometime this week, when I'm able to. Which will resolve the hiccups when accessing data from the NAS.

Today is Memorial Day here in the states. Hence the change in the devlog image above. It's an image shared before. Thank you to our Veterans out there.

Be safe and stay cool.
