Scene 30.

I cut the scene and prepared it for posing. I planned 149 shots to illustrate the almost 5000k words of the scene. I also rewrote a couple of passages that felt slightly off while I prepared the scene. Nothing out of the ordinary. My cut seems pertinent, but 149 shots, for 5000 words feels a bit short. Maybe I'll add a couple more shots in the slower moments if I feel it's needed. We'll see.

I hesitated to switch to scene 31 and keep on writing but finally went for the set work and the posing.

Ghost lights.

As I mentioned in my previous dev update, I'm upgrading my software, and that has some consequences. There are many ways to light a scene. Ghost lights are one of these and that's what I use almost exclusively. And that specific tool has drastically changed. They're still there, and they still work... but their setup and behavior itself has changed.

Upgrading the sets to these new ghost lights has been difficult, to say the least. The main issue was that I struggled to get the results I wanted. I spent most of the week trying to reproduce the light I had with the previous version of Daz and failed. So... I have to change the way I light my scenes. My focus has always been to simulate a "natural" light. I feel like this won't be possible anymore.

I finally managed to reach an acceptable configuration, however, and started posing the scene. I've barely scratched it so far with only three shots posed today.

That new version of Daz, however, really seems faster on the loading front. And that is a tremendous quality of life improvement.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 6 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 30, 31, and 32.
• Day 6 Part 6 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 3.
• 4880 words of new content so far.
• 149 shots are planned, 3 are posed.
• I'm currently posing scene 30.
