Progress 11.09.2023

Oh, right, it's Monday. So what's up?

Obviously, update 39 is in the release cycle, so that's good. Rendering of the update 40 is on its way and is going well. Doing slightly annoying scene with variant, but outside of that, it's relatively easy as there aren't lot of scenes with complex posing and movement. But the render amount is somewhere 2000 so it will take some time to make, but I'll work as fast and efficiently as I can.

Then the writing, I'm happy with it. I switched from Google Docs to a program I've used in the past and set backups to my NAS and cloud, so should be good with that. And that being said, I'm about halfway of update 5, and the renders being relatively easy to make posing wise, but taking a minute or two longer there is decent time to write between renders. Thus, I'm happy.

Crawford is back, potentially. This is the "variant" scene I mentioned. There is chance he is dead, thus can't appear. But it is relatively easy to do. And yes, the window is frosted. You get to see some of the cityscape in the previous scene. And while the outdoors aren't exactly featured as much, there will be views of the planet. Some from the city, some from the "wilderness" so to say. Maybe even one confused sheep among the alien animals they've gathered, who knows.

And the one test render, this temple again. Although, I was testing the surrounding environment, needs be it work with that. And need to change the fog prop to something different. Maybe some snow... something to test. Still I like the render for most parts. Just need to figure out proper effects for the staff...
