Here you can see the whole dimension of the scene. It's really tough working with it. To render it I even had to NVLink my two GPUs, becauce the 24 GB VRAM of a single one were too little for it. I'm glad when it's over and I move to part 2 of the event which will be much easier to work with.
By this statement I take it that L&P has only been using 1gpu to render, so my question is why is he only using 1 gpu ?
Was all of this just for bragging rights?
If this bar event is not that important there is a lot of things that the dev could of done to reduce rendering times without the use of NVlink
because rendering with 2 would go too fast
and he wants to render with style, not speed

While we're in the DLC, why not put day 13 and 14 in DLC while we're at it? :rolleyes:
We would save time and finally get down to business. :cool:
Day 13 I understand, but 14? Since the previous Ellie event was Ellie jilling off in front of Sophia, I'm at least expecting a conversation between Ellie and Sophia about how it's okay for Sophia to get off in front of Ellie, which would be needed for a later event of Sophia getting off in front of Ellie possibly on playable day 16. And day 14 also has Patricia. Not only hot, but also comedic relief. No way that should be palmed off to DLC.

Any reference to DLC WRT the Sam event I'm assuming has to do with the more superfluous details of the event, like who the other patrons are, who the main band is, any dancing that might occur and Sophia and co letting loose etc.

I stand by it. HOWEVER, DLC content doesn't count. It has to be in the next release.




It does seem absurd. I often think you're too negative Viper, but it's a bad look for a dev to tell people "Hey, this scene that I've been working on for two months? Yeah, don't expect too much."
That sound like a little fear.

I do completely agree with your assessment. If he DLC's this when will that happen. In the 2040 to 2050 time frame? Who gives a rats ass by then? I have said before he needs to make this a good release (pun intended). If he barely moves Sam's needle (Ha ha ha) then that path is threatened with obscurity or the infamous DLC. If all this update does it highlight a little more Nathalie and open the swinger route by introducing that possible path then his production rate moves to the center of the stage for all issues. He either gets into an acceptable rate or patrons need to vote with their feet.

Sure, but this is new. Cutting a scene short so that additional content is only available via DLC, he hasn't done that yet. Coach Sophie is one thing, but that never really got off the ground. This scene with Sam has been in the works for a long time, and now he's going to only partially complete it and leave the rest for a undefined DLC? That's bold.
Nah, that's getting burned out and a signal he is not interested in completing this.

At present I believe the real problem is the number of characters in this scene, setting up the location took him a lot less time than most expected. This scene shouldn't be long, around 12-15 % of the 35% in my opinion. The remaining half will have less characters which will improve things a little. Also after what KillJoys shared with us I hardly speculate a car drive with Sam. Though lighting can be tough I would expect that he has figured out a lot about it by now, since that's what he is most focused about everytime. I should no longer take him as much time.

The Cathy scene is also not going to have a lot of characters, so I expect that to be decently paced once the location is setup.
Expect the early December release. Pre Christmas to be the holiday present to his patrons. If it rolls to January he will be a complete fail for something he is apparently gutting.

I agree with you as I think that he wants to concentrate on other characters(maybe).
If he is not interested in AwAm then it seems like a waste to do a 4k scene which could of been done quicker but still great quality but his ego is the problem

After all, I like to think optimistically, and I guess L&P was thinking something when he claimed it would be ready by October. Let's just assume that the bar scenes are the most elaborate and the next scenes with him and Sophia take place somewhere that doesn't require much effort. In the car, on the beach, on a hill, on the balcony, ...
The event with Cathy/Andy takes place in their apartment. So maybe just the living room. Considering all that... maybe it could work out with October after all.
Sorry but, can pigs fly? That ain't gonna happen unless he guts this update and the result will be as Talcum and I have said a clear indication he is in the SNC, ICSTOR mode of burned out.

Dec 11th marks the same length of time it took to make v.130. Any release after this only indicates that his process is out of control, and any of the worst-case scenarios I've been predicting have been underestimated, so the reality of events like Dylan and Sophia actually fucking are further away than my expectation of around 2031.

Kind of :ROFLMAO:.
He still has work to do when he has to create a big scene with lots of characters, here ashitanojoe

In this picture to remove the van (is it the band's?) Sam's car has to be moved.
That's why I say they(Sam and Sophia)'ll leave the parking lot.

Is it possible that Sam's band is looking out of the van at the two in Sam's car? :ROFLMAO:

I am wondering the chemistry between sophia ,patricia ,ellie....is quite good... They all behave as college friends in public ...as they have no problem kissing each other in public or in private ...nor they have problem taking about sex ...they also like to see men nude.... They dont care about their corruption in front of each other ... Like sophia allowing the man in club to touch her heaven..in front of ellie and patricia...
or ellie kissing another man inspite of having another boyfriend....patricia watching nude men in spa....there is no question that these ladies dont care about their relationship with each other when they feel ...time to get pleasure...
As a result i dont think that there will be any problem if Sam or his band flirts with sophia and patricia and asking intimate questions....or later on ...patricia or sophia alluring for SAM and getting impressed after the concert ...maybe sophia sits with sam on the back seat and kissing him and Patricia ignores her sisters corruption....as L&P said that main event is after the concert....and as we remember that after the concert she has to meet andy and cathy.....so on her way to their house something might happen...well its the brilliance of L&P to make us imagine ...about the event ...which make us feel the characters as real life....i feel sam would kiss sophia and touch her boobs...being on the back seat....

At this point in the discussion I’d like to suggest that you take a step back and consider the image from the second teaser about the evening event of Sam's performance at the biker bar.
In particular I’d like you to consider what is supposed to be Sam's car (Pontiac Firebird 68):
I'll preface this by saying that I know next to nothing about these kinds of cars (I don't think I've even seen a muscle car up close), but doesn't it look disproportionately oversized?
It's parked next to a van and looks twice as long. Sam leaning on the back of the car can barely get his elbow up to trunk height and the wheels look bigger than the van.
I'm asking this question because while surfing the net looking for more information about this car (and its ) I found a request for help in one of the Daz3d forums where this problem is reported ( ).
View attachment 1394355
Also making a comparison with some images in which the real 1968 Pontiac Firebird is shown:
View attachment 1394359 View attachment 1394360 View attachment 1394361
it appears clearly how the model (Adrienne Janic) can easily sit on the car hood, while Sam (and like him all the other members of his band) would need a ladder to do so.
What do you guys think? Is it just my perception?
In case I'm not wrong I hope that, since we are still in the making of the next update, L&P can intervene to make more realistic the dimensions of what, especially in the next updates, could be the real turning point of the relationship between Sam and Sophia.
Sam's car is a two cars in one

The process is already out of control, even if he releases this update before December 11th.

This revelation reminds me of the last update when he revealed he was already at 600 images (out of a planned 450) and wasn't even close to done. Both landed with a thud because they reveal his lack of organization and planning.
