[We Were Just Kids] Progress Report - 9/24/2021
- As of today, 0.2 has 437 renders. There still some rendering to do, plus redoing a few I'm not particularly a fan of. I'm not going to give an exact date, because I probably won't hit it. It won't be too much longer, though. I've been experimenting with Depth of Field a bit more for this release alongside the lighting.
- Writing for this release is basically done. There's probably some phrasing that could be fixed alongside grammar and punctuation, will try to go over it a few times before release. That's about it here. There's still some code to add and/or adjust, but basically finished otherwise.
- I'm grinding through post-work, still relatively behind here in a comparative sense. Still at only about 275-ish renders that have gone through post-work. It's crazy how many little errors eat at you until you fix them, even if you're the only one who'll ever actually notice them.
- So, there was a pretty big delay in between this progress report and the last, and for the sake of transparency, I'll tell you why. Part of it was taking calls about my grandfathers belongings (refer to last post), what to do with them, etc. It was surprisingly time-consuming. The other part was getting stuck on the hip movement of animations. Ended up redoing it three or four times before I got a good result/got the hang of it, and anyone who knows animation in Daz, can tell you that they take a minute to make and longer to render (unless you have a 3090.).
- There might be some odd looking cover-ups throughout this release (mostly images on walls, etc.). It's mostly to cover up copyrighted stuff at this point. They may look out of place, but they'll be re-rendered eventually. On a smaller side note, I've added a transparency slider for the dialogue box since. Credit for that goes to LightmanP(/TheWarehouse)
That's about it for now. I'll try to make sure there's less of a blank span from now on, but there really wasn't much progress to report on for a bit there. :)
