I've put a bit of effort into the story scenes this week. The work folder shows 1,723 renders, which should be an increase of about 135 renders posed, rendered, and post-worked.
Now that most...

I've been mostly banging my head against the quirks of Daz studio this week.
One of the 3d assets I'm using, which is also a big part of the environment of u4ia, has been a major pain in the ...

Leap of Faith is now available on GOG.com.
If you've been holding back on buying it, now's a good time with a limited launch discount.
Another week where I've been progressing on several fronts.
