    Water Cavern
    Yep more level defs in the work and this time I transformed the Nocturnal room into a Water Cavern. So let's dive into the process shall we?
    CAVERN (STANDARD)
    So for starters here is the standard cavern which will be selectable in the Level definition manager. This room isn't used much at all and I believe that I am the only content creator who made a pose bundle for it which is "Breeding with the Dawngrowl Beast" that was released back in October of 2022. 

     
    WATER CAVERN
    So here is the real highlight, which is the Water Cavern. It's called a Water Cavern for a reason, you probably can't tell but there is over course running water with a mirror underneath simulate reflecting water. You can see the reflection of the rocks from the water itself. Now just a fair warning that the mirror covers a huge area since it is a water cavern, so this could destroy some of your PC's in the FPS department. I can average around 54-60FPS with two models in this room, it varies where you are located in the room.  

     
    MODEL LEVEL DEFINITION TESTING
    I decided to allow Queen Aquaria to show off her domains level definition. So as you can see she is well let from all angles and there's reflection coming from the water because of the mirror. 
     
    CONCLUSION
    Okay that wraps up this blog, you can expect a pose bundle and the level def to release around maybe April or May. Let me know what you think in the comment section below 🙂

    Studio Apartment Boho
    I'm back again with another Level Definition Blog. It's fun going through the process with you guys, hopefully you gain a bit of knowledge about level def design as I explain my thought process behind its development for a room. Okay, so many of you requested that I create a level def for Boho Apartment. I wasn't going to jump on this right away because I was prepping for my next bundle release but for last night I was looking for a room to test out some new poses I made. I tried out this room and noticed there was no actual level def for it, so I didn't feel like leaving the game and waiting forever for it to load a new room. So I ended up making a level def for this room unintentionally. Now let's get to the juicy parts of this blog!
     
    NOTE: None of the images are altered in anyway, its purely from the game itself so you can see what the level def actually look like in its purest form.
     
    DAY TIME
    I normally avoid day time level def's because they just aren't good but a lot of you request them so why not give the community what it wants lol. The problem with day time lighting is that it does a disservice to the room, objects, and Models themselves. Sexvision makes awesome rooms and it can't really show its true potential during the day. If you aren't using high textured rooms, day time lighting makes low res rooms look even worst. 
     

     
    EVENING
    Here is my first evening level def, decided to go with orange-yellow color to reflect the evening light. If you noticed noticed the room pop a bit more now that it's a bit darker and it's a good mood type of vibe for poses that fit the scene perfectly. I kept all the lights the same as the daylight def but renamed them and changed its color which made things much easier for me.

     
    Night
    Now we're stepping into familiar territory here with the Night theme. You noticed that the Laptop screen light is also on, so try and sit your model there and see how nice the light reflects on them.  I can't wait to see what kind of content the community will create in this setting.

    LEVEL DEF MANAGER 
    For those who are new to the whole Hook5 Interface, just simply press F4 to bring up this menu. If you want to select what level def you want to use, just simply click on the "Includes" drop down menu. Then select either Day, Night, or Evening but you must turn one off
    before activating the other. Day time is set to default.

    LEVEL DEF MODEL EXPOSURE
    When it comes to creating level defs for a room, it isn't only about lighting up a room. The most important part of a level def reflects on your model, this is where the trial and error comes into place. You don't want hard shadows covering your model to the point that the model details are hardly visible. You don't want to increase the lights intensity to high either because it creates a burn effect on the skin, which the model loses all its quality. So you will have to adjust the light accordingly and you want the light to get every angel of the model so they are well lit. Look at the difference between the 3 level def settings, the night time always make the model look more defined compared to the Day Time but the evening comes in second place because it's a bit darker. The only thing is that the evening lighting which is the orange-yellow is a strong color so you have to crank it down a bit. In fact I hate Piss color lighting. My brother is a photographer and work with a lot of lighting so he coined any yellow or orange litting as Piss lighting, it's the color of piss and often times doesn't go well with lighting but under a few exceptions.

     
    BEDROOM AREA
    Okay here is the bedroom area in all 3 settings, you choose your fancy but you will mostly find me using the night time scenery for this area. 

    KITCHEN AREA
    Here is the kitchen where some fun opportunity presents itself, if you know what I mean. I preferably use the evening setting for the kitchen. 

     
    DINING AREA
    Can have a kitchen without a well lit dining area.

     
    PATIO AREA
    At first I wasn't going to light this area at all because I really have no use for it, but then I forgot this level def isn't just designed for me but also for the community XD

     
    BATHROOM AREA
    Last but not least, here is the bathroom. I can only imagine the kind of fun that can be had here, but one thing's for sure I'll only be using the night time setting for this area.

     
    CONCLUSION
    That pretty much sums everything up as far as the level def is concerned. The project is actually complete but I am debating if I should release it this week or release it alongside the pose bundle which I haven't begun yet. So I'll create a poll for you to decide whether I should release the level def for this room this week or wait until I finish the pose bundle to release alongside it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and would love to hear your thoughts, peace!
    UPDATE: LEVEL DEF IS NOW AVAILABLE!

    Storage Room
    Here is another side project that I am working on, this is a object room that I had in mind for sometime now. 
    LIGHTS ON & OFF
    The room initially started out with only a lights off version but after some thought I decided to create a lights on version that you can select from the Level definition manager. The lights off version came out as I expected and will be my preferred method of use of course XD






    MODEL LEVEL DEFINITION TESTING
    As I said before it is important that you test out the lighting when your model is placed in a room. The goal is to make sure they are well lit from all angles and whatever you do do have the lights on too bright and create less shadow on your model as possible. Patty does a great job demonstrating that as she is well lit and visabel from all angles.


    She is well lit with the lights off and my motto is this "Can I see her feet perfectly" that is my thought process when designing a level definition.


    This room was concepted because of a foot fetish scenario played out in my head and I wanted to recreate it in the game. I will say that I really love how this pose ended up working the way out as intended. Xalas rubs her feet as she looks at him and then down at her feet out of curiosity. She have never met a man who has a foot fetish and it's somehow arousing.


    I made sure the lighting is perfect for visible viewing of her soles and feet lovers will definitely appreciate it when trying this out with their models. 


    I finally got around to animating this STATIC foot worship pose a made over a year ago and it turned out perfect. No clipping issues or anything which is why I avoided animating this for so long. But now its complete and one of my favorite foot fetish poses that I've ever made.
     
    CONCLUSION
    This room and definition is ways off from release since I have other pose bundles and Level definitions to release first. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
    SIDE NOTE: Boho Studio Apartment Bundle and Level Definition is finally complete and will release early March!

    Xalas Studios Bachelor Loft
    Welcome to my first blog entry of my "Project Level Def". This is where I will update you with the process of completing a level def for a room leading to its release. So the first room that I decided to release a level def for is @hunter1110Modern Loft. 

    The picture above is the original version made by Hunter himself. I've been messing around with Level Def's since Hook 4 and I will tell you it isn't hard but it also isn't easy to create. The challenge comes from the room itself and from what I've learned is that white walls make lighting much harder for me when creating level def's. White make lighting bounce all over the place and you can't get the detail that you want out of the room or the models. What I found out from working with lights is that darker colors absorbs light much better, so I decided to go with a darker color for the walls.
     

    I wanted to make a pose bundle for the room but the white walls and the lighting just made it difficult for me to work with my poses here. So I decided to take on this project by going in and recreating my own Level Definition and add some Xalas flare to the pictures a bit. 

    I made sure to label all of the lights and also categorize each level def by room. So it will be so much easier for you to navigate and turn off which lights that you want. If not you can have all the lights on, thats if your PC can handle all of the lights on. If you have a good PC then you should pull around 60-90FPS with 1 model, 50-60 with 2 models, 40-45FPS with 3 models, and 25-35FPS with 4 Models and this is with all the lights on. 

    If the lights are still too much on your FPS then I suggest turn off the shadow on the lights where it doesn't matter as much to you. 

     

    My best advice is to turn off one floor of lights if you will be spending most of your time either downstairs or upstairs.


    You know how I am with night lighting, so you can turn off all of the lights and leave only the outside lights for a more intimate scenery. 
    If someone knows how to fix the culling with the Bathroom Mirror, that would be nice because I want to create some cool poses that take advantage of the mirror. Right now the models bodies disappear when you close up on the mirror itself. 
     
    The Level Def has now officially released!
