Hume, let me know the games you are speaking of. I’m always working to keep MDots’ work in the top of the bunch. Since I don’t have a lot of time to play the multitude of games, a point in the right direction would be great.
Slow pacing is probably not going to change as that’s a style he prefers.
As to janky renders, what does that reference To specifically.
Thanks, Hume.
I'll shoot you a message regarding the two games that displaced DMD and Melody from the top slots.
I can respect that slow pacing is simply the reality of a Mr. Dots game and I don't begrudge him that. My opinion is 100% subjective and strictly limited to what I personally enjoy, which a slight faster pace. I don't believe it should be quick like a porno, but strong powerful strides would be nice.
But with the renders, I've attached a couple of examples of what I'm referring to. To be fair, in the last year Fecalmancer and I have to spent a lot of time really cranking our Daz game up as high as we can. With 11 months of Daz experience under out belt, we consider ourselves amateur 3D artists.
But even as amateurs, stuff like this bothers us tremendously for two reasons. The first, is that half of the issues below are side effects of using ready-made poses on partially compatible models. Using ready made poses is a good way to save time, but you still need to fine tune the pose to work with your model, which takes a mere moment. Thus the second reason why these things bother us so much is that they take literally mere seconds to correct. So not fixing them just makes the visuals feel lazy.
I don't mean to be a harsh critic, but when Fecal and I catch each other making these kinds of mistakes, we bounce the render back to each other and demand to fix them. Sometimes things still slip through and we try to fix them on later iterations, but in Mr. Dots work they are rampant.
We're not trying to tear it apart, and for it is worth, I'm still a Patron of Mr. Dots going on 14 months now and I'm not planning to pull my pledge any time soon.
But these are easy things to fix and it's a bit irksome no one cares enough about the visual quality to fix them. That's all.
Cheers mate! Mad Respect! Keep up the good work!
