Furthermore, hardware must match ambition. If their RTX GPUs haven't kept pace with the switch to wide-screen compositions, the problem becomes exponential. To render a landscape with the same pixel density as those iconic close-ups, they would need a farm of high-end cards like the RTX 4090 or 5090. If they are using older hardware to process much heavier scenes, the only way to meet the weekly deadline is to lower the sample quality. This explains why the visual fidelity has plummeted by 50%—they are prioritizing the delivery of a chapter over the perfection of each frame.
There is also a false sense of modernity in the 16:9 format. Many studios believe it’s an evolution because it looks cinematic, but technically, without professional render farms, the 1:1 format is far more efficient. The square format allowed PigKing to deliver elite-level art with standard hardware. The current rectangular format, however, demands elite hardware just to deliver mediocre results.
Ultimately, showcasing a scene in landscape is an appeal for modernity to provide a cinematic feel; however, what this specific audience truly seeks within the context of erotic stories is visual connection. Comparing recent work to the older 1:1 stories, the highly sexy visual appeal of characters like Cinthya and Dr. Brandie was fantastic. Back then, the lack of more explicit sex scenes was perfectly compensated for by brilliantly executed erotic scenes of these stunning characters, featuring skin textures that were almost photographic. Fans would much rather have an impeccable, sharp portrait than a dark, panoramic scene where the main product—the character's beauty—is lost in the background.
