DLU May Update (Patreon)

*NOTE* These screenshots are all WIP and not in the final game engine (just the editor viewport) and there's still work left to do on different materials for the eyes, hair, clothing, etc.

I've been working on a faster and more efficient method for transferring assets from Daz (where the comics/pinups/art is created) into Unity (where the game world exists).  It's very important that I can quickly create import characters, clothing, hair, assets, etc. so that the game can be rich world of content.  Particularly because I'm only one person and I have to make it as fast as possible.  This is the first step towards such a method, but there is still more to do.  Every single asset, every material, every piece of character has be transformed from Daz to Unity, they are not compatible at all.  Notice the nude Elsa, that's due to one import problem.  Even once a character is final inside Unity if I ever need to update that character in Daz, or add a new outfit or hair, the character will have to be reimported and transformed.  So instead of spending hours for every import I'm hoping to spending this programming time to reduce that into minutes.

Another important update here is the lighting and shadows.  Notice the shadows on Elsa's outfit and how it shadows her chest realistically.  Similar her nose, lip, chin, hair, all shadow realistically.  That is much better than the old DLU version thanks to the Unity update.  This will get even better once Unity provides another graphics update this summer.  The skin and eyes will also get much better in that update.  It will mean more work for me to create new transforms from Daz to "new" Unity, but it will be worth it.

I'm sorry there's no new gameplay updates, but it's very important the character/clothing/hair technology works well before beginning animation and gameplay.  I'm also going to focus on "sexy" activities since the combat has already been completed, at least to an alpha/beta stage.  Stay tuned for more!
