Mr Pocket Rocket

First real week of chapter 7 development. Made some decent progress with both writing and rendering...and a tiny bit of coding:-) Cheers!

I'm back from vacation! I decided to take a proper break. No work on the AVN, lack of time and a need for relaxation really. I did a little scene sorting, but mostly I turned the project off. Now I'm back. I've started renders for chapter 7, scene 1. I'm a little jetlagged, so woke up at 02.00 and s

Chapter 6 is available for all. Cheers!

I seem to have weathered the storm. The stomach virus that had me call in sick for the 3rd time in the last 20 years, (yeah, I'm a mature S.O.B., but not when it comes to my AVN:-) is now beat. I still feel a little weak as all food and liquids were purged...involuntarily. It seems that the last cha

I was going to try to have a render to back this release up, but didn't quite make it. Working on a couple of ch 7 locations, the casino and a diner, in attempt to get ahead of the inevitable shit storm that is rendering. Not really a shitstorm, since I enjoy it...but time consuming. Tomorrow I will

Alright! Time for a little post mortem on Chapter 6. No spoilers for those of you waiting to play. It’s no secret that I struggled at times with this chapter. The dinner scene was brutal to render, for a couple of reasons: It’s long and nobody moves much, so finding interesting angles became problem

Pecker PI Download PC & Mac Let me know if you have any issues.

September 6th: Shamus ($20) and higher. September 13th: Gumshoe ($10). September 20th: Bizzy ($5) September 27th: Private Dick ($3) October 4th: Public Release. It will finally be done! Hopefully to the cheers of the masses:-)

Alright. I've been burning the midnight oil on coding. I'm a little stressed by the amount of time it's taking. Part of the reason is the simple fact that I left portions of a couple of scenes unwritten. I figured that I knew what I was going to write and I focused on rendering. It may have been a l

Super quick update. I only made half of my goal for today. Animations are finished. Curiously, that means coding is all that needs to be finished. I will be working next couple of days, so slight delay in sending out for proofreading, but not disastrous. Cheers! ps. Sorry for not answering comments

And you all thought that I had forgotten to write in my diary. Well, shame on you! I guess I have something to do with it too...but I mainly blame everyone else. Seems to be the modus operandi du jour. Yeah, I'm linguistically gifted. So suck it! Now that we know where we stand, I'll continue with t

I have started my two favorite jobs to fail at. Animations and coding. By the time the animations are done, the coding will also be finished. I'm hoping to finish coding ahead of the animations, so that I can have the chapter proofread and then just drop the chapter. I was kind of hoping to be done

Alright! I skipped last Sunday's log. Mainly because nothing much had happened, and I wasn't in the mood for a rant. To be honest, I love a good rant when it's justified, but nothing major has gone wrong in a while and I can't just make shit up. Well, I guess I'm making this whole story up (Pecker P

I apologize for my tardiness. A little worse this time than most, but I got busy with long days at work. This is, of course, unfortunate in a strict Pecker point of view, however, it keeps the lights on as they say. Now, I did some AVN work yesterday but was too tired to put much of a dent in things

Well, let's be thankful that we won't hit case log number 100 for this chapter. The small things, right? I apologize for the non-sunday update. Not like it hasn't happened before. Don't worry, I've been busy with rendering, but I was hoping to have a render to post. But I didn't quite make it to a r

I'm back! I had a run of 9 days of work in a row (two different jobs), and I was quite fried at the end of it. I was back rendering yesterday. 1.5 "parts" of the last scene left. I think it's probably 3 render days away from completion of the chapter (this is not my usual rosy assessment). Then a fe

Alright! Finished the flashback. Baby steps, right? Well, at this point I'm one hell of a baby-stepper. I'd be the Gene Kelly of baby steps. Okay, enough of me being funny at my own expense...it's really not that funny after all. Like I mentioned, I decided to trim the flashback. Which resulted in a

I had a couple of good render days Friday and Saturday. Flashback scene is almost done. Probably 5-7 more renders. That's less than a half day of work and that leaves two little scenes as we return to the dinner. I'm going to inventory the renders I already have and make as short work of this as pos

Above is the creation of one of our friends and patrons, Wibble. He has created an excellent food and drink asset package that I'm using for the dinner. You can find it here: https://www.daz3d.com/dirty-dishes It is really very versatile. Onto the progress. I got a ton done this week in terms of ren

Work was a killer last week and a half. Kind of killed my day off today as well as I didn't get home until midnight. However, I am setting a goal for this chapter. I will aim to finish this chapter by end of May. I think I have enough days open to work on Pecker this month. Things could change, but

Alright! Didn't get a great number of renders done this week. Mainly because the interior environment is pretty high res. I tried different things to speed up the renders, but they were all taking 30+ minutes (to be honest, I stopped looking at the duration pretty quickly). I tried rendering just on

It's been a minute. But it's Wednesday and I'm rendering...so seems a midweek diary post is in order. I know I mentioned this before, but fixing the GC settings and reinstalling Daz seems to have worked wonders. Despite the fact that functioning software isn't exactly an inspiration, it sure doesn't

Alright! First thing is first. This week we reach 1,080 renders. A few less than my goal for the week, but ever since the new year started the renders have been flowing like cheap wine and gonorrhea at a 30 year high school reunion. So I'm feeling pretty good...just a little uncomfortable. I have a

I'm not sure that this works for free members, but let's give it a whirl. Hoping that patreon will let everyone who wants to vote participate. Comments are always appreciated.

Happy Sunday everyone! So not much going on this week...except for hitting 1000 renders! Still working on scene 8. Probably will be doing so for another day or so. Per usual I underestimated the amount of renders for the scene, along with a few extra renders to make a joke. I'm hoping to get through
