This is getting exhausting.
In my every big projects, there's a moment when I've tested all the basic blocks of what's needed to bring my vision to life, when I know it's going to work and all there is to do is patiently work my way to the result, meeting so many repetitive steps along the ...

Day 76.
From A to I, I've built 9 blocks now, which are the basic units to create whole and vibrant cities the way I want to see them.
I added parks, an heliport ( Patron request I think ? ), plausible urban structures, retextured everything, cleaned up UV maps and the geometry, package...
Well well !
Here's the creation log for day 69, already !
I set about organizing things better for the blender version. I still don't know how to package things properly for this software so... I'm trying to learn that so that you get the best possible version.
I worked on a new...

I've begun the tedious shader and geometry conversion from the textured city blocks in Blender to DAZ.
So far, it looks very, very SATISFYING.
And lightweight.
I *hope* to be able to bring up a DAZ version to you patrons in the coming weeks.
I'm inspecting, stressing, pushing this city to become what I know it'll become.
Gradually, it becomes less and less shy, more present and tangible.
We're getting to know each other, me and my toy, before sharing it with you all.
And... there's a strange and pleasant feeling to b...
This time was dedicated to bring all the elements together : The city block I already built, the slab, and model a few things along the way.
In the end... everything looks good, satisfying, usable.
I'm ready for the first big jump in DAZ and the shading that will likely ensue !
I...

This might end up as different layers you can activa...
I know there are many creators on this very patreon who ask themselves this question : Will I be able to make your latest creation run on my computer ?
Yes you will.
My computer is awful at doing what I ask of her, and I have to make everything as optimized as possible. For me, and for ...
