Work on v0.5 is well under way! This version will be all about adding a new character and extending Girlzilla's story. I haven't picked a name for the new character yet but I've started drafting her design. She needs some work still, especially her outfit, but I've attached a few sample images so you can see the style I'm going for. I tried doing some VR renders and they worked out well so I'll be trying to re-render some old works I was never able to finish due to hardware issues. You can get the VR pics here. Dorm Roach is still my focus so I won't be uploading VR works as often as I used to but it'll be nice to have a bit of variety.
While I'm talking about VR I want to mention that I was never really happy with the pics I used to put out which is part of the reason I stopped. Without getting into the technical details too much monoscopic images don't make the most of the medium and stereoscopic images have parallax issues that make them hard to look at. In an ideal world I'd be rendering out my stuff as volumes using NeRFs or gaussian splatting but that's beyond my skills right now. I think it's a massively underappreciated technique for size related works since you can set your viewing scale dynamically and I'm surprised no one else has been experimenting with it. If you know anything about volume rendering please let me know!
