Chapter Nine test images

Added 2023-03-09 12:45:18 +0000 UTC

Nearly there with the forthcoming Chapter Nine and as usual I have a load of random lighting test images that are too good to stay in a folder on my computer.

I've been remaking many of the scenes and testing out lighting set-ups and camera angles along the way. Most of these images don't feature in the game. The ones that do generally include clothing.

I often set up scenes using naked characters to check that the lighting is consistent and well, it's more fun that way too.

I've also been experimenting more with reflective surfaces, such as on the glass in the bar. Reflections can be a bit of a headache but can add much more depth to a scene. There are also many creative possibilities.

The main image of Bridgette is an alternate angle of her leaning in to talk to the taxi driver outside the restaurant.
I often find it useful to set up another camera when posing a figure just to check on position and eyeline etc.
I don't usually render out the alternate angles, but in this case I thought it might be nice to see what the taxi driver might see...

The last two images are derived from some extensive new material in the bar.
You don't get to see Alexia and Caitlin without the clothes at those specific points, but perhaps you will later on. :)
