What's this... Kat writing a moderately... happy... report?

😲🤯

Anyway, yep, was a solid time!
I did get my 2nd tooth fixed as well, thankfully it was as well surface area even tho a Bitewing scan was the thing that was able to detect it. And with this, done with medical now fully. See you end of year/early next year for anything of that sort :LETSFUCKINGGO:

Besides that, a bit of grass touching and sidework for wallpapers is what slightly took me away from Ep4 reworking, but the rest of the time was spent there. And on that part it's been... Pretty good actually.
I'll say right of the bat, the big 3 as I call them aren't as easy as I thought. Starting with Avis's park section took much longer, previous map just had some issues I hated so I kept trying to tweak it again and again and again. And her outfit, which I know a lot of people adore, had tons of issues I just... Kinda cheated around previously pre-rework. Why was it so dark, aka the charcoal joke previously? Well, because I made it intentionally as dark as possible to hide all the clipping and imperfections with the top, and even clipping and issues with pantyhose too. That no longer slides with me, so I went down and redid the outfit. But(t) I think it's much better now, and more fitting for still overly hot weather so top is much more open sleeved and all. No Clipping either after spending time in Blender fixing. I included one pic freebie so ppl don't freak out, obviously the buttastic bottom remains.

I guess the other part that was negative (positive coming after no worries) is just that in general, I can't really use the poses as much as I wanted from before. Yoinking stuff from some older scenes is just often hit or miss, and seems at times it's much better to just pose them from scratch instead. For some reasons, characters often bug out for me if I try to yoink. So crazy numbers like Levy's gym might not be as feasable.

That said, Avis bar section (pre bar, park, bar, post bar) is going well. 360 total renders done, and with another section kinda included in counting in pre-bar, I am now securely in 1/3rd done. I'm deep into the flashbacks section of Avis's storytelling (fuck all those map switches 😑😑), and as of writing this post, I'm 10 renders from Avis entering the big party in flashback. With this current speed, hoping to finish Avis bar section in 2 weeks or so, not including any animations. Then the kinda easier Raiko part (much more streamlined) and then the big Koko next. And obviously anything ending related.

So yeah, pretty solid report imo. Yesterday I had 53 renders done, so high numbers are still somewhat possible. Sneak peeks will be early next month, I want to finalize Avis's bar for it, at least the billiard/pool part.

As always, love you all.
