Progress 03.05.2024 (Patreon)

Hello all!

Friday, and you know what that means. A progress post.

I’m not entirely sure I’m where I’m supposed to be at the moment. Render count wise yes? Relation to the script? It’s close enough, but not quite there yet. But overall it has gone well more or less well. The difficult scene took three days to render, which is what I suspected. Granted, there is one more complex scene to do still, but it’s one of those things that should be relatively easy after the initial setups.

Writing is in a bit phase because of the difficult render, but most of the scenes are plotted so it’s just filling the gaps but more about that below. And I’m not worried about the writing as is.

Gweyr is more front in this update, but it is more natural since we are dealing with matters she knows more about than the rest. And we see bits of her personal ambitions showing, and they can be interesting depending a bit of things.

Months ago I made a test render that had a goblin stealing a dinosaur egg. It was just that, a test render for the environment, mostly. I really didn’t think too much about it while I made it, nor after it, really. But what I’m writing and plotting now it suddenly made sense. Although unless I can create a male goblin to a similar style that I have my females, there will be a huge contrast between them. But that can be plausible as well. And that is one of the limitations that Daz has with Genesis 8. I could switch to G9, but it has a couple of other problems I’m not a fan of. Namely, it is quite heavy to render and in the style I’m doing?

But overall I’m content with the progress, just need to write a bit more. Which I can do now since the scene of what I’m doing now is relatively simple to do. Anyway, you all have a great weekend!
