Sept's XV Animations + Update

Hello everyone! How are you doing? time for another monthly XV. This time I tried a 4some.

PIXIV

MEGA

For the report on how my new PC performed during this test : it was doing remarkably well. even our cameo girl nodded in approval. that said, I still have to turn off subdivisions on 1 or 2 girls for it to render without crashing. so you might still see blocky shoulders on a girl if you look closely enough. compared to FF14 mother set I did a while back, this was a lot heavier.

it was using 90% of my 32gb RAM in one of the scenes. this was all with simpifly on and custom optimized normals.

And that was without any programs but Blender open. if I open a browser, blender will crash in an instant.

But Overall, all is good compared to my old PC. with my old pc, It'd probably crash more often because it's out of RAM and VRAM even with me hiding characters or some objects as I animate. I always have the option to animate without physics sim and do the rendering without any subdivision modifier. which I'd probably do for a 4some or any scene that have more than 3 detailed characters in the future from now on.

Genuinely, Idk how the pros do it. do they use render pass? or maybe their models are much more optimized than mine. Well anyway, no rush. just need to continue grinding and practicing. adding more ram capacity or getting an ssd solely for cache is also an option.

=================================================================

NEW MODEL

Last but not the least of 13 character, Serah Farron.

I don't think I need to treat her like the other petite characters. Unless I accidentally found a better camera angle that is also making her look smaller like it did Lumina.

uh...Well with she is done, that's all of 13 characters I guess.

A farron sisters threesome is a possibility from me now...not so soon though. too many in queue for debut. and there are quite some of the pair already animated out there anyway. not to mention with some revisits incoming.

=================================================================

UP NEXT

Looking at the order of characters I rigged, it's Garnet's time to debut next.

hopefully she'll look good. I'll find some way to make her look okayish at least as per usual. FF12 Ashe is coming after Garnet.

FF16 is going to get released on Steam next week. and I really want to play since I haven't played it. I'll try to create time slots for both animating and playing. I'd still prioritize animating though.

Well that's it!

Thanks for your kind support and donation as always~ m(_ _)m

Stay safe wherever you are, and good luck to you!

See ya!
