With the release of Gravure Studio a little less than a month ago, I introduced a new shader model, scene lighting and post processing. The consequence of my decision broke compatibility with vanilla and/or third party models, by nature of making them far too bright.
In spite of this, I made the decision to go forward anyways because...

Not every bit of work that goes into making Beach Paradise/Gravure Studio is all that glamorous. A lot of it is very tedious. This is one such case. I'd like to give you all a brief window into what working on this project looks like sometimes.

Hello!
Today I'd like to show you a quick preview of an upcoming scene. I really like the sensual, more personal feeling of a POV style bathroom scene. I hope you enjoy it when it releases!

Sync requested Lacerta from DOAX2 for Tina. He left the color at my discretion so I opted for a sultry semi opaque black silk like appearance for the top, which has a distinct kind of transparency from the wet t-shirts that've been highly requested. The less sultry version still has a tiny amoun...

A47 requested Mila's Deluxe DOA6 outfit! He requested the bra be extra squishy which I obliged to the best of my abilities. There are some other caveats he requested which I will try and fulfill later, but I myself wanted to release this version right away as it's a perfect looking costume for Mila.

Hello everyone! I'd like to announce a new Patron tier, Zack Island Bronze. This is a more affordable tier with infinite slots, as opposed to Gold which naturally has to have a limit as it fulfills individualized requests.

A new month has passed! The first month of Zack Island VIP has been a great success, and I really enjoy working to fulfill individualized requests!
I've liked all of your requests so far. We've had an interesting range of choices. I was surprised that Mila has gotten so much love! She's got two more requests in the queue.

Pantho requested this classic Ayane outfit, which I've named Indigo since I don't know if it has an official name. He asked for it to not have the ribbon and the sleeves on the back, so I decided to make them optional but still present with the panty toggle.
He also asked for it to be ...

Richard Ayres made a rather open ended request, just stipulating that it be for Mila. He suggested her classic hoodie swimsuit when I pressed him a bit as it's his favorite, so I added the hoodie back to the swimsuit since it already exists, just sans the hoodie.

I've received this rather annoying message from Patreon today. Even though I've flagged this entire page for adult content, I've for whatever reason been informed that I cannot post adult images without making them Patron exclusive.
This will be somewhat confusing for public posters, as it will seem like I am paywalling content.

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying the Gravure Studio update. There's quite a bit to discuss about what I did, what I'm doing, and what I plan to do. I hope to clear up some confusion and perhaps give you a greater understanding of how much work went into this update.

This is another quick update, with the only bugfix being a crash when selecting Mai's Sakura costume (an important one because it's annoying to just crash when scrolling through costumes), and to add two Zack Island VIP costumes.
As always you can download the mod at the Mega Repo.

You may have noticed in the readme, or seen for yourself, that Non-GS costumes don't look right in PP anymore. There's a good reason for this, I promise! When I said the visuals were completely overhauled, I meant it, and that also meant changing the shaders for all the models, in GS anyways!

UI Detection, and you
With Gravure Studio, I've implemented a new smart shader called UI Detect, which dynamically enables and disables certain effects like Ambient Occlusion and Depth of Field depending on the presence of certain UI elements. Unfortunately, since this is a rather hacky way of doing things, the process of maki...
