Case Log 3.4

I'm always happier to post an update here, where people actually care about what is going on, than anywhere else. I'm going to stay true to my original intent (this week) and post an update on a Sunday! There is some great news today. 

First: we crossed 300 renders for the chapter, which probably means that this will be the largest chapter so far (at least in terms of renders, the writing is pretty much the same number of words as previous chapters (but those are some great words!:-) 

Second: I am done with the speakeasy until I have to come back and do a few animations. I purchased "limb-stick", which, if I could figure out how it works, could change my animations in a big way. I might try blender, but it's a matter of enough hours in the day to learn enough to make it worth it. I prioritize quality and I feel like it shouldn't be impossible to make Daz do what I want it to do. So I'm already in Daz, and I will make a real attempt to make that to work. 

Third: I'm writing chapter 4. I don't quite understand devs who manage to write, render, post, and code in the same block of development. To me the writing is what really matters (so it needs to be ironed out well ahead of time)...no great render will make up for me phoning it in on the writing side. So I will try to put down a good amount of chapter 4 scenes this week, along with the long postponed coding and some photoshop post work. No rendering until next weekend as I will be away from home and the PC (no, my mac laptop is not the render tool one would like it to be).

4th: Meet Danielle's dad, Vincent Bellarosa. Proper Gangster. Does he say, "Don't fuck my daughter"? Or does he say, "Please fill my daughter with all the jizz you have available"? (That seems unlikely.) You'll find out in chapter 3.
