    …and DONE! Now I need to set a reminder so that I do the voting thing daily!

      Also, David…I don’t hate the idea of you having a Patreon.

      Sneak peeks, behind the scenes elements…heck, in a few months when my finances level out a bit, I’d dive on that.

        Yeah, well when I get the notion that hours of work will earn me more than chicken scratch. I have a pretty good feel on my analytics, and at this moment I think I might be able to count on maybe $1.00 a month. That’s based on my monthly readership X 1% And that depends on those who want to subscribe to Patreon. Another 1%. So no, not at this time. As I approach retirement, I think it would be great if could rely on CML as a source of income. It’s gonna take time.

          Understandable. Just putting it out there. You’re already working on the comic, so grabbing some screenshots and captioning them or putting them into a presentation of sorts doesn’t seem like a TON of extra work, but I also don’t know what else you’re juggling. Only you know what’s best for you and makes sense in this season of your life. I just know that I, for one, would love to see your processes, get sneak peeks at upcoming updates (maybe as a vote incentive), etc. But I’m also happy just having the comic, if that’s where your focus needs to lie right now!

          Well, if you’re implying that I’m lazy–you’re right. It takes all my energy to produce the comic. I have to think of how Charlotte or Kurt are going to react to this or that. What can Kurt say that’s kinda funny? Run it over, and over and over again. How do I move this to a conclusion? Now I’m not saying that I don’t love this process, but it takes a lot of effort.
          But if I get the notion that 1-5% of my monthly readership will provide a reasonable amount of income, I will go for it.
          Thanks for your input.

      Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Behind the Scenes

Posted on April 1, 2024 by David

For those who don’t know how a 3D graphic image is made, here’s a peek behind the scenes. The less geometry, that is, the fewer objects in the scene that the computer has to calculate into the final image, the faster it is to render the image. This example is from page 9 of chapter 14 (“The Report”)

In this case all I needed was the upper half of Lieutenant Nichols and the building complex in the background. Previous images in the chapter established that the characters are standing on the patio of Sophia’s condo.

Note the position of the camera.
