should I get G8? Render speed etc

Sephnroth

I'm really tempted to buy genesis 8 based alone on the morph clones for g1/2/3 in one single character :o But the majority of my work involves me rendering sprite animations with like 150+ frames. One of the main reasons I still use G2 so much is she renders quite significantly faster than G3 - with that in mind how is the G8 render speed? Slower again than G3? I'm imagining more detail added = slower render times :o

 

Also how are people finding her in general? Do the clones for g1/2/3 work well? How is she with G3 poses etc?

Thanks for your time and advice!

Genesis 8 Female is free. Why not try her and see. She is in Genesis 8 Starter Essentials, which you can download and install. Victoria 8 is not free, but you don't need to buy her to test G8F.

fair point! this post has been 100% triggered by a popup on daz website with a coupon for discount on V8 :D I'm still interested in other peoples experiences though :)

Maybe a slight reduction in rendering, but not much. And I work on an older rig here, trust me I notice. But as always it depends on how much detail and lightwork you add ofcourse. But in simple scenes, G8F and background not much difference.
