Hmmm... Yep, I can see Kim in there...

Lol!!!! Eldricus has been hacked by Swag!

Felt a bit better today so managed to setup samples for the first 4 of my office ladies (that includes Aubrey). If there are any other of my ladies that you want to see in the office, please let me know.

I'm sure we need to give her a rest. She's used way too much... as it were...

I thought we'd agreed to give Denise a rest this time around? You know, we already have too much of her..

Sadly, I've been very sick and am still not well, so don't expect anything from me anytime soon.

Miku does have a set planned for the school cosplay set. After all, what would the set be without a cute Japanese lady? Hopefully, the new slimmed down pack will be easier to manage and less strain on memory usage. Ty to Eldricus for proofing and posting it.

Well, I obviously don't understand it as well as I thought I did. I did turn the seat into a separate surface, but then couldn't do anything with it. So, instead, I went for brute force. This is the chair with a light grey velvet shader applied. Not terrific but it would make the models stand out. I'll just se what other chairs I have.

Hmmm... could use geometry editor to create the seat of the chair as a separate  surface and then apply a shader to that... Guess what I've been learning recently?

Still not tried it yet, but have downloaded it. I noticed that the file size dropped by half. So as my mega pack was even bigger in size that the original game file, I'll be converting all images to Webp and then redoing the pack to make it more manageable.

Very nice! I hadn't done much with lighting apart from setup the base to test the scene. I'll try throwing in some spotlights for Aubrey and see how it looks

Yes, that's why I've been discussing it with Eldricus. My thinking is not to publicly post a link but send a link via email to people who request it, but we'll see where we get to.

Lol, and no plans to tone it down. it stands as it is. I might consider providing a link by request. I'll have a think about it.

Well, the finales are a big step beyond what has been done previously, and combined with the outfits , Eldricus and I decided that it might be better to hold off for the moment. Here are the other opponents in the pack so you can see what we mean. Apart from these base 4 (including Denise) there will be 4 more to round out the pack. 2 males and 2 females. So yes, "a bit raunchy" is probably an understatement.

No worries. no idea what my schedule will be either.

It is that bundle, so it's a good deal right now. I'm using a ghost light from the https://www.daz3d.com/iray-ghost-light-kit-one as a ceiling light and the Kindred Arts https://www.daz3d.com/parallax-backgrounds. The table is from another set. The table that comes in the office bundle has a concave surface for some reason, so it's almost impossible to get things to lay flat on it. I used a round glass table from  https://www.daz3d.com/classy-house and put a wood shader on the glass. Thinking about it, I could have used the original table and just put a circular primitive on top... which I might go and do.

And just for Swag... I have done a classroom cosplay set, but it's a little raunchy, so no plans to release it at the moment, however, here is a teaser as Denise is one of the opponents in the set.

I should have had money on that suggestion from you... ~tease~

Here's a couple of tests for a possible office scene for CSP. Not really sure who might be in there yet, so I'm open to suggestions. For the test, I used Aubrey.

TY for the shout out Eldricus!

Rather than using spotlights, you might want to try using emissive planes as ceiling strip lights. I did that for this classroom scene, adding two ceiling lights and a HDRI dome for an external light source to give a brightly lit scene more in line with a classroom.

Well, if you need any advice or tips, you can always talk to me, and I'm sure Eldricus would be helpful too.

Well, the work went faster than I expected. The finales are tested and seem to work for me, except for one glitch which I've referred to Eldricus. The zip file only contains the finales and voice files. Some of the voice files are duplicates of what's already in the main opponents folder. So download the zip file, unzip it and copy the opponents extra file into the main CSP folder, Say 'yes' when prompted to overwrite files, and it should work just fine. Any issues, let me know. I have no idea when or what the next update might be.

Ty. I found a few errors and have corrected them. Just need to run another two tests, and then package everything up. 

Finales completed and in testing ready for packaging up.

Mary is done, Elena has been started.

Hmmm... G9 Vivian could be a very proper English school ma'am I suppose...

Here's the scene with the updated card and chip set. I tweaked the lighting a bit. The glasses seem to be GF8 Glasses 2

Aha! Found it... STZ Poker room 3D Models santuziy78 (renderosity.com) They have a good set of cards and chips... And Z Game Night Props and Poses for Genesis 8 and 8.1 | Daz 3D

I have no idea about the glasses. I can always find something similar though... and yes, I think I used that set in a photo story to create actual hands that could be seen. I might redo the table layout to use that set. Hmm, or maybe it was another set? I was thinking of incorporating Miku into the package, as who doesn't like Japanese schoolgirl cos play, and perhaps this redhead.  Any of your models that you think might fit into this cosplay scene? Or perhaps one of the new G9s?

I plan to do the backyard finales over the next few weeks, but after that, I have no idea on what or when the next update might be from me. So, in the meantime, here is a test from a personal CSP project I'm considering. I'm not sure I'll be posting it even if I get around to it.

Updated Edge and the problem seems to have cleared itself

Oh, and Windows is reporting a security error on the CSP page. Says that the site has a valid security cert but parts are not secure.

Got a question/idea on the two new voice line tags.  So, this doesn't apply to the majority of opponents, but it does apply to Maid Denise and a few of the ladies in the dungeon. The ReactFinale and ReactFinale_talk_to_ lines are generic for a finale when there is more than one finale. So, In Maid Denise's case, the lines will trigger no matter which finale has been selected. Is there are easy way to identify individual finales in the case of multiple options? And thus give the ability to write specific voice lines for the ReactFinale pair so they would only apply to a particular finale? So, In Maid Denise's case, there might be talk_to lines that tease her about where she's actually using the duster, or in the dungeon, whether it's Velma or Daphne being molested by Lord Octo. I know, it's a very limited issues as there aren't many multiple finales, so not high on any priority list.

Yep, she finally made it. I still have the finale pack to do for all of the backyard ladies. I promise I will get my act together soon. Meantime, here is Aubrey. The file in the link is an updated one and fixes a few idiot things I did in the coffee morning... like leaving in png files instead of jpgs and mp3s instead of wavs. So, my advice is to delete your current Aubrey folder and download the fresh one.

Good job. Just downloaded it! Yay... more voice files!

Just setup the first scene for Aubrey in the yard and completed a test render. and here's the teaser.

Well, I just managed to get it done. Here is Aubrey in the coffee morning scene. There is a little bonus in the finales showing a possible finale theme for the backyard set. Let me know what you think.

I did a 3 second animation of Miku waving and saying hello. It took 10 hours to render out the composite images and another 4 hours to layer them all together to make the animation. The files size was enormous.

I suppose.... :-)

.With the first draft of my new books complete, I've gotten back to work on Aubrey. I'm just doing the last of the main renders and only have the composites to go. Voice files are already done. With any luck, I might have her ready this weekend.
