[WIP] 09-08-2022 (Patreon)

Sorry for not posting anything yesterday without explanation. I did work, but it was mostly behind the scenes optimization work.

 
Regina Progress
Worked further on Regina, want to make them a little bit less.. scary?
I think they're pretty far along the process, but they need some.. beautification.
It's hard to judge these things when they're un-posed and without any expression, so they might change over time as all my characters do.

Office Progress
Finding it hard to progress this set, due to lack of interest on my part. I think I worked the entire last month on this one and only now there's the "interesting" part. So it's definitely a slow paced set.

I'll most likely render the "un-interesting" parts, like just the dialogue, in a lower resolution just to speed things up a bit. Maybe upscale it to 4K later.

Optimizations
I have been working the last two days, but most of it was also just optimizing parts of my workflow. I've gotten rid of a lot of morphs and now my simulations, save and load times are A LOT faster.

But by deleting morphs, I have to go back to all the projects I've already made and need to double check if nothing is broken and to re-save them. That takes a lot of work, there's over 300 renders queued up, that I need to open and check and re-save.

That takes a long time, that I'll spread out throughout the coming weeks.

Edits
Did some early edits already of upcoming projects.

Lack of content
I'm aware there hasn't been frequent sets as of late and to be transparent I'll tell you why that is.

I mismanaged the Worked Out part III set and the Office set.
They're both massive. Worked out is over 150 renders, the office set isn't even done yet and over 150 too.

So now I've been rendering the worked out 3 set for over a month. June 13th was the first render and it's not even done rendering right now.

And now there's the office set, at least twice as big, RIGHT AFTER. I made a big error there.

How to fix it
I'm going to try and work on the office set AND a smaller set at the same time. I usually just work on one set throughout the day, but I need smaller content to also come out.

We'll see what happens, I might overwork myself and burn out, but we'll see.

Photography gigs
So, I did a photography gig and kept working on 3D last week. I think that might've been a little much. I'm very tired and because the photography gig was like a festival, my entire sleep schedule is a bit off.

Might need some time with that too.

Thanks for sticking around, even without a lot coming out lately. I'm nervous and scared that I might've not released enough recently; I see the numbers going down again.

And I'm angry at myself for not managing these sets properly.
