Ghost Lights + Scene only

I think I finally decided on my basic lighting set up. At least whenever I have indoor scenes I will do scene only with several ghost lights. This reduces render time a lot and the image quality also seems better. I can get a 100% render for a full scene with several characters in about 10 minutes or less.

If an outdoor environment is visible as well, I need to place some ghost lights outside. So far I am only using ball lights and I think I will keep trying to use only those for all purposes.

Below is a comparison between the new picture (casual clothing) with scene only + 3 ghost lights and the old picture (school uniform) with scene + environment + 2 spot lights.

I more or less finished all bar scenes now. The last one uses all the same images as another one, but has a different dialogue and the second half of the scene will have a different choice. This choice is related to the introduction of a new major character and I still need to continue with that.

I was supposed to have yet another bar scene but I am going to rewrite the dialogue for that and with a different choice, because I felt like it was going to be too much of the same type as another bar scene.
