Spicing Up The Relationship (Exclusive) (Patreon)

"You told Gwen you wanted to spice things up in the relationship, particularly in the bedroom. So what better way to do that than to take things outside the bedroom?"

Thanks to Kaeg for the animation, as well as Luriam for the sound!

I was trying some fixes due to model issues and some of it didn't work well with the map in question. I was having an issue with light clipping through Gwen's hood. I couldn't figure out which of my lights it was until I realized that it was the map lighting causing the issue. I tried removing the map's lighting and doing it all by scratch, but then there were some bad shadows showing up on the background. So, the last option would have been to just do a scene-build myself, but building a skyscraper scene from scratch would have taken too much time at that point. So, lesson one was sometimes it's not the model causing the issue, but the map. Or both!

This helped me realize something about my style of lighting: I'm okay with lighting that doesn't make sense logically if the scene looks good, but I cannot abide shadows or lack of shadows that don't make sense. Having a rim light appear on the top of her head, but underneath the hood was driving me crazy! Good lighting isn't just about lights, but the shadows they create. Lesson 2 was if you don't like something, change it.

It is was it is. Enjoy!
