    To long time buyers out there, which of the old hair products (V4, Genesis, G2) wold you recommend that looks great with the UHT2 or OOT shaders?

    I can tell you I use the OOT shaders on absolutely everything, and everything looks great. Even some old Kozoburo hairs.

    I think someone said that AprilYSH's hairs use a different mapping system, so those may not work...

    They work with the Rendo OOT shader system; I've also used them with OOT shaders from other hairs.

    I like AprilYSH hair as a lot have bones; those are the only hair-types I buy now, unless very short. I get a rough pose in Studio then fire up VWD.

  • Is there a way to filter the results so that it's still newest first but only things that cost less than $5?

    Oh Goodness! Forgive me! I actually don't know which OOT shader I have. I do believe I have the rendo version.

    Awkward Age for Genesis 8 Female is really cute. It took me a minute to figure out that it was an actual character. I thought at first glance that perhaps it was an outfit or maybe a prop and pose set. lol Funny to have a character without a name. I feel like she needs a name. :)

    I use OOT's shaders on the AprilYSH's hairs that I have. The textures for her hair in my runtime usually have the scalp and hair on the same image, but the hair strands are still straight up and down.

    I'm a little behind with downloading my purchases, so I haven't been able to try it yet. :) 

  • To be frank.  I try to stay under the limit too but I can not help but ask myself 'what's the point of owning things I will not use?'  Better to embrace the five dollar discount and pay a little more for something I have either wanted for a while or will use.

    As I said in the other thread they are still broken, I'm surprised you reccomend them; or are yours not showing the same problems with the neck and hands?

    I agree. Get something you would want anyway, and that is currently offered with a big enough discount. $5 off on top of that, and everyone's happy. :)

    I got Short Afro Hair and Classic Side Part Hair for Friday and Saturdays coupons but now I can't decide what to get with today's coupon. I'm looking at:

    Short Pigtails: https://www.daz3d.com/short-pigtails-for-genesis-3-and-8-female-

    or Gothic Bedroom: https://www.daz3d.com/gothic-bedroom

    or Angelica https://www.daz3d.com/angelica-for-genesis-8-female - She looks like beautiful character and might be useful but I don't need a lot of different characters

    or Old Attic https://www.daz3d.com/old-attic I don't need an attic and already have some older ones but I might be able to kit bash some of the included props.

    Any ideas?

    Those are the same two things I got for friday and saturday as well. But I'm having a bear of a time finding something for today.

  • I realized I can get the Decimator for $23 because of coupons+sales. Is it worth it for rendering though? I intended to use it to create crowds on renders using the figures I already own for Daz Studio...

  • TooncesToonces Posts: 919

    If rending in Daz using Iray, Decimator won't help nearly as much as other tools like Scene Optimizer, since textures consume more memory than geometry.

    If you're exporting the figures to other applications, decimator can be useful.

    I know about the textures and I got the texture reducer plugin. The thing is, I run a Titan Xp on an FX 8320, so moving around in my scene is a nightmare with high poly models, even in smooth shaded viewport. I wonder if Decimator can help me with that...

    Usually that's because Daz defaults with non-GPU optimizer for viewport.

    To enable fast navigation, Edit > Preferences > Interface > Display Optimization = Best.

    (specifically, it speeds up Texture Shaded viewport which is the most common).

    OMFG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. IT WORKS WITH SMOOTH SHADED TOO. THANKS A LOT!!!

    @Novica pointed out Gothic Bedroom, which I picked up on Saturday for the kitbashing potential. Cost me only $5.90. On Friday, I picked up two of the older hair items that are part of the "Breakfast in Bed" promo: Cloey Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s) and Kaylum Hair for Genesis 2. Between them, I think I paid almost $2.00. Today I picked up Nerdy Girl Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s), also part of the Breakfast in Bed promo, for whooping $1.28.

    Hope this helps a bit. laugh

    Was the banner supposed to be for all, or was it one of those that only went out to selected people?, because I did not get the banner. I am kind of surprised no one else has moaned about being left out, unless it really was just me!
