(December 1, 2023, 8:18 am)monyek Great~ I've once tried Daz3D, but the rendering time just took too long (since my computer only have RTX 3060 with 6GB). Below are some of my renders from Daz3D~



I've switched to AI generated images since then~ though the consistency of the output and the control of the poses, etc. are not as great as Daz3D, the rendering time is significantly reduced~ Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can assist with~

You're renders look great! I appreciate you willing to help out. I have thought about using AI generated images since it's so much faster and I love how crisp the pictures come out. I've seen a few other members come up with some sweet looking renders using Adobe Firefly. But like you mentioned, the consistency and control over the poses is a bit tough if you really want an expressive character.

I'm still trying to decide on a theme for the story. Currently just free writing until I can get some inspiration.

To shorten the render time and keep things simple, I was leaning towards something like a post-apocalyptic or maybe a kind of survival story. I'm open to suggestions, if anyone wants to chime in some ideas.

I'll add a few sample stories I've written, after I've proofread everything and see what you guys think. For now, I want to find whatever ideas everyone would be interested in reading.

Currently, there are several ways to control the poses (e.g., ControlNet, etc.) and generate consistent character (e.g., using LoRA, etc.) The approaches and features are developed so fast in AI image generation, and hopefully the tech is mature enough for VN production in the near future

Is there a way to share files for faster rendering?

Maybe we can consider generate a render with lower resolution (in Daz, etc.), and then upscale them (in Stable Diffusion, etc.) later.

Sure, I'll give that a try once I get back home from a business trip. Internet gets pretty bad. I know it's probably not ideal for speed. But I started off doing my renders in my monitor size(2560x1440).

I'll see what I can learn about upscaling and stable diffusion.
