Gonna do the boring stuff first.
New Archive format! The old way was really tedious to click through subfolders. I tried to make it as streamlined as possible while maintaining the organization. Instead of sorting by resolution its now by character. Eliminating the resolution folders all together. Renders as well. No more subfolders. In addition I've added a new format (by date) for returning patrons so clicking through folders shouldn't be an issue. Too the person who suggested this, thank you! Definitely makes it easier for me too. ** I will note Proton will be just getting the by date sorting from now on. Because its a massive pain to move them into folders.
Lastly my subscribestar finally got approved so if you want an alternative to Pat here it is.

Alright now the good stuff!
Good news. The workflow within blender is pretty close to perfect for vr. The only kinks I will have to work out is stitching the frames and the best way to export the animation to achieve a "lossless animation" Really the past week has been trial and error. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results with "most of the animations" Here's my ranking of how each turned out, visually speaking.
Ashley
Harley
Mercy Halloween
Sam Morning Ride
Ada Save
Mercy Office
Miranda
**Jill just got new sound no rerender
I cant really point to an exact reason why some turn out REALLY GOOD like the first three and others take alot of elbow grease to get to solid.
The big variables that change from scene to scene are materials, models, lighting, environment. My initial thought was spot, area, and small point lights causing more noise in the renders. Which is sometimes the case but it goes further than that. I eliminated ALL of the "noisy" lights in the Miranda scene but final renders still had noise. So, more experimentation is needed because relying on neat video isnt the best solution for vr.
8K Viewers! Let me know if playback is an issue w Ashley, Harley, Mercy Halloween, or Ada. I used premieres software encoding for the final pass because it produced noticeably better results. I had to do Hardware encoding for the final pass on the others because stuttering was an issue on them. They were tested on my 2 rigs and played back fine but everyone's situation is different.
Coming Soon and Planned
Working on a Cassie render linked above looks pretty good so far. Sculpting obviously needs some work but not back for a day.
Harley animation, tifa club, ada and claire coming most likely before Tuesday!
In talks with a new creator! Stay tuned for more on that.
Baldurs gate looks to be in demand for vr. Will for sure be able to do one this month. Could be another depending on how things shake out :)
Mentioned I'm gonna start another animation soon. Just needed to get past this rebuilding phase to have to brain power to do it. Gonna start in a couple day I think.
Obviously, gonna pick from polls like usual. Gonna have to slow a bit on remakes. They really do take a toll because basically having redo all of my poor work from before I knew anything about this. Also because the current work is more important.. I like to think I have a high motor working a full timer than turning around and doing this but the last thing I want to do is burn out. So just gonna pace myself with those more.
That should probably be about it! If anything else comes to mind it'll be in the next posts! Hope you enjoy and see ya in couple days!
