Kendall's Secret Anniversary Edition - Loyalty Reward Nov. 2020
🕑 Added 2020-11-02 13:05:45 +0000 UTCI hope you enjoy this month loyalty reward as it is a nostalgic one!
Story-time
"Kendall's Secret" was my very first album that was released exactly one year ago! I wanted to take the opportunity to show you how much this project has evolved within this one year. When I started working with DAZ about 13 months ago, I was obviously very green and my only previous experience came from the Source Filmmaker. But I learnt the ropes, made my first renders and planned this project just to start it one month later on October the 21st 2019!
I started this project by introducing the characters on Twitter and then moving on to my Discord to slowly introduce the story and how it all began with the Dongler drilling random holes into dorm rooms. Kendall was hit first and on the 3rd of November 2019 - I released my first naughty album called "Kendall's Secret".
The Anniversary Edition
This Anniversary Edition includes all 6 pics of Kendall's Secret but being remastered with new knowledge that I gathered over the past year working with DAZ.
I tried to leave the scenes as original as I could and only overworked what was needed without destroying the original charm. All camera angles, poses and expressions stayed exactly the same and Kendall also keeps her old hair.
While I would do the poses and expressions a bit different today than I did back then, I still decided to leave them as they were as it'd otherwise make the comparisons not as clear.
What's different is the lighting which is quite similar but much more friendly to the eye, the renders have no grain (this was an issue in the beginning due to my graphics card back then), the hole is now an actual hole instead of a black surface on the wall, the color correction has been done the way I'd do it now and last but not least Kendall's model has been replaced with the latest version.
I reworked her model 8 times over the past year. Besides other things this included a few facial adjustments to get rid of the "doll" feel you get from her early versions and make her look more mature, adjust the skin tone and gloss, make her slightly taller and give her 10% more bust.
You'll also notice that her wardrobe on the left side in the background has been replaced with some pictures. This had technical reasons in order for me to make the hole an actual hole which required me to get a bit creative as I can't just make a hole in the wall in DAZ directly.
In any case, have a look yourself! In the link below, you'll find the new Anniversary Edition pictures as well as two folders that include the original album + comparison pictures

Thanks for being on this journey with me, I hope I can do the same next year and again show some clear improvements over this anniversary edition!

I like how the new cock is a bit bigger, I hope this trend continues in the future and the Dongler "grows" a bit more

I agree with you and you'll still find some artificially added grain in 99% of my renders to date as I like this effect - but the grain you see in the very early albums was still too strong imo.

Random comments about the grain - I thought the grain actually gave the old pics a bit of charm. Not only does grain technically hide some flaws in the render, but in a low light situation such as that room, most cameras would struggle to gather light and the ISO will be cranked way up, resulting in grain in the photos. So, in a way, the grain added some realism to the old photos, lol.
