Chapter 9 - Dev Note 1

A lot to update people on, so long post.

Sorry for the delay, 23rd of December to the 8th of January is usually a slow time for me due to Christmas, New Year, and my birthday on the 8th. Usually takes me a good bit of January to get back into the swing of things and this year, I upgraded the Solid State Drive that windows is on. Had to wait for a screwdriver set to be delivered as didn't have the right star-shaped to change over SSD.

While this was all going on, I did look at the script and split it up into 3 chapters, so this novel has 3 chapters left and I did rewrite chapters 10 and 11. Essentially chapter 9 is where everything has been leading and it sets the characters up before they head to the finishing line. I did always plan to spend time on the script before producing the final chapters, and upgrading SDD allowed me to do that.

The great news is, that as you can see below I have been rendering images and have discovered much faster render times, and I have been using the same render settings as I always do. I usually set render max time to 5 hours so they all stop then but most renders so far have been well under 5 hours. Most renders have been around 2 hours and 15 minutes, not sure if this is related to me upgrading Solid State drive or if it's something Daz has done in a recent update, I don't have an Nvidia graphic card, so I do use my CPU to render.

Long story short, I have quicker render times and the images are being cooked for as long as they need to be, they look really good.

In Chapter 9, we have 31 pages of the script and 8 scenes, but we have three MASSIVE SCENES, 1 has 80 images., another has 32 images and another non-sex scene has 22 images. There are 159 images in total and 2 sex scenes, this is a big chapter for the story.
