Dev Update #264


Scene 29.

Mediocre progress this week. I couldn't do everything I wanted despite having a bit more time at my disposal. Building that mega set for the ground floor has proven more difficult than I expected. I naively thought I could simply slap all the set into one file, expunge the useless elements, adjust the position of everything a little bit, and that it would be fine. Of course, I was wrong.

The geometry of the room doesn't fully fit the geometry of the house, and if it's not an issue when using 1-room sets, it is jarring when putting everything together. I ended up rebuilding most of the rooms to come up with something roughly usable as long as I'm careful with my camera angles. I'm not yet done with the lighting, I have to rebuild it from scratch too. I hoped to be able to use that mega set for all the lobby / hallway / laundry room scenes but I'll have to change my plans. The geometry of the stairs just doesn't fit well and I have to hide them for the hallway to be usable. We'll agree that it's a problem. But it's ok. I'll keep using my old set for that part. As long as I can shoot the hallway + laundry sequences as I want to, it will be ok. I have some important scenes coming that will use that set and more than the few shots that will use it in scene 29, it is for these future scenes that I'm building it.

I still have a few hours of work on that set to come up with a usable lighting solution, and about 15 shots to pose. I think I can finish that in two days. Then I'll most likely get to coding. I need to give these scripts a proper shape before I send them to my beloved proofreaders.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 28 and 29.
  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 2.
  • Day 6 scene 28 has been written, posed, and is mostly rendered.
  • Day 6 scene 29 has been written and is currently being posed.
  • 16 411 words of new content so far.
  • 496 shots are planned, 481 are posed, and 265 are rendered.
  • I'm currently posing scene 29.
