Hey guys!

I just wanted to briefly stop in to say the progress report for this month will be in a few days!  We're currently working hard on finishing Neon's conversion to the new rendering engine, and since we're quite close I'd really like to include it.  We're trying some experimental dark eromancy that, if successful, should yield some pretty impressive results!  Wish us luck!

Been a few days, guys don't feel rushed to push anything out. Take the time, we love the work and the quality of your polished work :) Even if it takes a little longer.

Hey guys-- the conversion is done and looks awesome; I'm doing the renders and it's going slow because I'm running into some technical issues. The textures are eating up too much video ram and causing it to use the CPU to render instead of my graphics cards. I have some theories and will need to run some tests to fix it but am powering through it to get the update out :D. I'll make the post tomorrow at the latest.

I've figured out the source of the issues and am making the fixes to save my sanity while doing these renders. Should still be ready by tomorrow :D.

Im running dual gtx 970 oc'd by zotac. if you need help rendering, I could lend the processing power, assuming it's even good at the task. or a viable option

I doubt they have setup a system for that, it'd also be pushing gigabytes of raw data through the internet for it. I don't know about you, but my internet provider gets pissy if I even look at a 20 gigabyte download.

Hurray! Now how did all that rendering drag that beefy machine down?

I got a 100 Gigabit optical fiber connection, I'm gucci :D as for the setup system idk, I just mean to help for the greater good of all

I don't blame you one bit for wanting to help them. But I doubt they have a system or program in place that would allow for such a task akin to SETI@home or BOINC.

It's a bug in Daz where it improperly reverts to CPU. I researched it more in the forums after my first solution didn't work (though I did manage to optimize the textures for Neon's armor a whole lot). After a bunch of banging my head on my desk last night I eventually figured out a really simple workaround where I start a low detail render, cancel it, and then crank the detail. This for some reason bypasses the bug =_=. Stuff like this is further proof we need to get out of Daz :D.

paperspace will allow you to rent a cloud computer for cheap if you need extra rendering power btw, something like 5$/mo + .60$ an hour USD.

Wonder what their scruples are for the kind of content this game has. Heehee...
