Hello everyone, a little update I guess is needed as of the recent change in circumstances lately.

As you probably all know by now, I'm now using KeyShot as well as XPS. I have been very slow with working solely on XPS images lately, and for that I apologise. I really try my best to keep expectations high, but sometimes it's not as easy as it seems. Friends & family, time, motivation, work and life are key essential factors of mine. I'm sure it's the same for everybody really, you can't force yourself to do something you don't feel like because you lack the energy to do so, have other things to do or perhaps your day didn't go as expected. I will in regards speak out now as to why I don't use the "donations pool" widget. Purely because I don't want people to feel like they don't need to contribute anything back for my effort. It's not like I'm saving the world or anything, lol. But you see my point. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with whoever else wants to use it, that's just my opinion on the matter on my profile.

Anyway just thought I would clear that up if anyone was interested, if not...just keep reading. Lol. :D

Expect lots of renders in KeyShot by me. What I lacked at doing in XPS was organising everything to be near perfect as I could. So in theory, by the time I got everything how I liked it; I would end up using pretty much most of the free time I had to do it. At least now I know I can do Studio renders in a lot better depth and fidelity than XPS could. Until I've practiced using KeyShot for a while like I first did with XPS, I cannot guarantee perfect renders. But I will try to minimize errors and such. I won't upload anything which looks horrendous so to speak. On another note, I was also thinking about remastering my old KeyShot trial version renders into glorious 4K. See here --> hawkhq.deviantart.com/gallery/…

Once I've done that; I'll throw the old, low-res, watermarked version images into my sta.sh. Or delete them, whichever comes to mind first.
I was surprised to see that even those few images got a few favs. I think I've got all the files still hanging around somewhere on one of my drives. XD

In-game screenshots of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round for PC I will continue uploading on here occasionally too, and yes, I will buy the huge variety of different DLC outfits they have on Steam and showcase them here. :XD: Probs should save my money for more important things but well, you know what they say "you get some and you lose some." It's no big deal to me anyway.

That's basically all there is to say, I think? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Now, I have already used up your precious time as it is. Y'all have yourself a pleasant morning, afternoon, evening or night. ◕‿◕

Your keyshot renders are good but looks quite flat sometimes. Look at the ingame screenshots. Look at those beautiful shining eyes. I think you should work more on material properties like normal mapping, specular mapping and other lightmaps. This is what makes things looks realistic.
