Forest Hideout - WIP Render !
🕑 Added 2023-03-03 00:39:01 +0000 UTCHi ! I am happy to post a render I've been working on during the last few days. I took some time to improve a lot of visuals on Ellie, since some camera angles just didn't feel right in the new scene.

I am working on adding procedural facial wrinkles on Ellie's face for better facial animations and realism. I've never done that before, but there are ways to do it in Blender, but before I do that I need to get better at sculpting. In order to make the wrinkles, you need correct textures like normal maps or height maps. I would love to do it in 3D, and I think I could, but my hardware is already limited as is. This render is running on 7.9GB out of 8GB with my 3070ti FE. Not ideal.
Thanks to my pushing the limits of Blender to achieve ultra realism, my scenes run super slow. You probably noticed that I don't release stuff as fast as I used to. And after doing two months worth of research in some spare time, I finally ordered new parts to make Blender run faster. With last week's price drops for the CPU market, I managed to purchase a 7900x with 32gb DDR5 and a compatible motherboard, thanks to all of your support over the last year <3
Overall benchmark performances show a 2.5x boost, but we'll see how it goes. Either that helps, or Blender devs need to optimize their tech :D
So for now, working hard on the next release. Writing dialogue, making the scene, posing the characters, fixing bugs, restore saved backups because of crashes, and the usual for a blender artist. Thank you all for your patience, and giant support over the last soon to be 10 months !
