First Chapter 4 Dev Diary.
As you might know, I had planned a week vacation after the release of Chapter 3, but it's hard to keep my hands off the project when I enjoy doing it so much.
This week has mostly been scripting the routes of Lexi/Cece, and posing animations. Seeing as Cece has quite a healthy lead in the polls, I have put the most work into her scene. Knowing of her popularity, I also know that I have to get it 100% right. After all it's not a FWB scene with Robin or Kira, or some hastily sex with the ex.
To be honest, I almost bit over more than I could chew with this one. If you look at the picture above, there's a lot going on in addition the the body movements. I wanted the clothing to be so light it reacts to even the smallest breath of air, and in the background (not visible in the photo) is a pool with moving water.
I spent a total of 3 days posing the animation, more or less frustrated by the things I haven't learned in Daz studio yet. But I think I finally nailed it, and I'm very happy with the result. Watching a test-scene I put together with the visuals/audio/dialogue - it was really powerful.
The numbers are not very flattering this week due to my focus on getting the animation-posing right, but at least I've started. 50 static renders and 184 animated frames.
And with that, have a very nice weekend.
