Update and Quick Teaser

Added 2024-09-21 00:20:57 +0000 UTC

Hey all! Hope you've been doing well since my last post :)

After finishing the Ada Wong RE5 wallpaper model swap, I took a bit of time to muse on what I wanted to make next. After a bit of thought, I had an idea come to me that really resonated with me, and I've started chipping away at it in my spare time! I would love to give you all an ETA on when this will be ready to publish, but this idea is going to involve a lot added detail in the form of hand-placed scenebuild, which I have to carefully double-check for any quality or clipping issues. Then once the idea is blocked out and I decide on a camera angle, I typically finesse the placement of objects to better complement the chosen camera. Moreover, this exhaustive level of attention-to-detail isn't just limited to where objects are placed but also how they look — I always take the time to review the materials of added objects for potential improvements in terms of appearance, etc. In other words, I hold myself to a pretty high standard of quality; I strive to deliver the best renders I'm capable of because I take pride in my work, and I want to give you all the best possible versions of my ideas! I've definitely got my work cut out for me with this render, but I'll get it done and published as soon as I'm able.

Additionally, I've included a little teaser here; if you know your RE, then you can tell who the character is! You can also see what I mean about the hand-placed details (and this is just a partial glimpse of the full scene).

Anyway, I'm very excited to bring this idea to life! But I don't want to spoil it any further, so the next post from me will be when this is released. Until then, be well and stay safe out there :)
