Progress Update (Jan 17)

Hey all,

I wanted to give an update regarding my progress building a new system and starting the next big project.  I've received almost all parts to build the PC.  The only part remaining, which happens to be arguably the most important, is the graphics card.  Unfortunately anyone who's attempted to build a new PC in the last 2 years knows why that is.  Manufacturers still have low supply, and scalpers still swipe up newly stocked products at MSRP and resell at 30-40% higher on Newegg and Amazon.

I've been trying to find a NVIDIA RTX 4090 24GB at MSRP for the past two weeks.  It's getting to be futile, and I cringe at the thought of giving in and paying $2,400 USD to a scalper.  Hopefully this bottleneck on progress will be resolved soon.

Here's the deal.  I can't start Elizabeth's sequel until the new PC is built and fully up to the task.  I want the scene to include things Blender can do with the best machines (like fluid body physics, known as "softbody", and collision cages for realistic butt jiggle).  I also don't want to appear inactive outside of bonus footage.  And I know you guys don't want short public loop scenes anymore.

I'm gonna think of a decent gonzo scene to do while the PC building holdup gets resolved.  Gonzo scenes are decent-sized scenes where the action is the focus.  It can have a beginning, middle, and ending with birth, but little to no story/dialogue.  Claire and Chun-Li's scenes last year were considered "gonzo".

If the graphics card issue is resolved quickly, the above scene will be sidelined and Elizabeth's scene will take priority again.  Bonus Footage this week will be my 2nd shot at making a good Tifa scene with a XenoVipositor, who can now pumps eggs from its inner jaw and schlong simultaneously.  Should be fun!
