test image. Yes, it's faster.
Added 2024-03-12 01:49:59 +0000 UTCHere's an image I rendered tonight on the new MKU computer. The textures here aren't super involved, but something about Lady Maple's hair has always bogged down her rendering times. On the old computer I've been working with since the Patreon page started, this would have taken maybe 3.5, maybe 4 minutes to render.
The new computer did it in 11 seconds, so, I'd say it's slightly faster. :)
There's still a lot to do -- every aspect of every character has to be re-linked, one by one, with the correct texture, morphs, etc., since the system is new. So it's very time consuming, at leastthe first couple of times each scene is re-opened. And I have to rebuild my libraries of poses and motions, etc. But getting this image relinked and rendered relatively quickly eases my mind - the MKU is back!
So, we're back on track, mostly. Thanks so much for sticking with me over the past few weeks. You'll see the output return to usual (and then some) pretty soon. New Audiobook this weekend!

haha you bet. LM is one of my faves, I have big plans for her coming up. Lots of cold-themed powers, etc. I saw that Awefilms is offering art again, yep. I've talked with Steve a bit over the years, he's a good guy. I'm not sure how much time I could lend toward making material for them, too, though.... I have a hard enough time keeping the MKU workflow moving fast enough to suit my tastes. If I can crank out a few extra pieces now and then again, maybe... but I'd just as soon put all that stuff out here, too. Something to think about.

2024-03-14 03:37:30 +0000 UTCDitto! Thanks for your test image being a CANADIAN Mankiller! Seriously Dusty, and I should have suggested this a lot earlier, as you may know the Awefilms website has brought back its comics and animations section, so have you considered making some extra money there, as you did in the past? With your vastly increased computing power I'm guessing you might want to make a contribution.
