    It is so small. You should render larger. I would make the room darker but make those blue tubes bright emissive light and if there are multiple blue tubes I would alternate between blue and 'firefly green'.

    I will work on your suggestions tomorrow hopefully it turns out better

    Oh, it's pretty good I think but it is too small to see.

    Well if Daz would improve their FBX export and produce models that are lighter and have PBR textures on export then maybe I could use them in Unity3D and do a real AR with them.

    I've had no problem even with an undecimated Guy 7 HD model with custom morphs added plus clothing plus hair plus fibre mesh eyebrows. I only need to make minor adjustments to the textures.

    That said, they didn't look near as good as in DAZ Studio after a render, the looked more like DAZ Studio in preview viewport mode but they are still good.

    To be practical you need though to decimate the DAZ Genesis characters down for 20% - 50% to use in mobile games and that is dependent on how many resources the rest of you game level uses besides the Genesis 3 character.

    Metamorph is working on a Fuse morphable character that can be used in DAZ Studio and exported to Unity that is much lighter weight and more mobile friendly You should check the Freebies section for the thread he is telling others about his progress.

    Simplygon is far better than Decimator

    Ultimate Unwrap 3D's polygon reducer pretty good too, only advantage of Decimator is it keeps the rigging in DAZ studio, other options done on the FBX export cannot be used in D|S.

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,610

    Well for the hassle and the cost of 2% of your profits Simplygon ought to comeover and finish my house remodel too. True most will make no money but 2% of the income limit profit up to the commercial license income license limit can be massive. I'll try it out, maybe, but I don't accept the 'automagic it says it can do' as better then Decimator but that it's free upfront cost has people saying it's better than Decimator.

    Personally, I like the results from Poser Pro's polygon reduction a little better for smoothness and a lot better on export for choosing what morphs and such you want to export and for how the rig bones are named than Decimator.

    Finally, Blender has a decimator and it is 100% free solution and worked quite well, I haven't used it since I bought a Decimator license though. Also Blender's FBX import & export support is much improved over past version. Innovation and the net being what it is, it wouldn't surprise me if Simplygon was simply a slightly altered version of Blender's decimator code.

    So, I wasn't sure if we are supposed to post our entries both here and in the gallery, so I thought better safe then sorry.  That said, here's my entry :)  thanks Sydd for putting this on - I had a ton of fun with the concept!

    Hmmm. Lots of interesting work in here! I guess I will join the crowd and post mine here/in gallery. Kind of scary though. :-) I was thinking about Pokemon Go...

    I'd say you won't have to worry too much about 2%. Bottom line the rendering of materials from the fbx export to Unity3d is just not anywhere near good enough it just doesn't keep the PBR quality required even if you use something like Allegorithmic to generate PBR from the original exported textures it just doesn't work decently, it's just too much work to recreate the actual rendering in Unity PBR to match the DAZ rendering, and Unity does do increadible PBR in real time it's just that the DAZ export is not very good for transferring PBR to Unity.  Because of this it is nearly impossible to recommend the Unity workflow, the model conversion to reduce the heavy models is not such an issue as Simplygon is so good.

    FBX export is not the same as using Substance PBRs in Unity. As far as I know PBR is not supported by the FBX standands meaning DAZ couldn't export PBR texture sets via FBX even if they wanted too. That is tech that is probably in the AutoDesk and DAZ pipeline but it's not there yet.

    Love the suits. I am trying to make an entry but getting mesh lights and transparent index of reflective seems to be not possible without doing two or renders and compositing them together.
