While i have to agree with the idea HS2 render abilities sucks i just figured i would make a suggestion that would seem a little less stressful in the way of not knowing what will work. Having a render done in different styles might be what gives us an idea as to what would look good, as if using HS1 renders well but might might be struggling to make further older version of said characters HS2 might fix that. However as you said rendering sucks and pvc skin syndrome. DAZ i am unsure of as the render we had seen of Sandra on the Discord looks good, but in a way feels off as it is not what we are familiar with. I as a fan am both excited to see the sequel but, I also dont want the artist to fret over the state it will be in as no matter what it is supposed to be a novel in which it is his story to tell and an amazing story it has been.
Ps. Sycopter do you know which program has been being used for My New Memories?
