Urban Sprawl 2 or 3? Or neither?

Hello. I'm interested in buying https://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-3 or https://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-2-the-big-city since they're on sale, but can really only budget one.

I'm wanting them because I want a city environment for scenes, I don't really have buildings/skyscrapers that all fit nicely like that. Also, do they scale for normal Daz characters? I own another item "Dystopia city blocks", that starts extremely small, and I can't scale it properly.

I'm leaning towards 3, because the models seem noticeably newer, and from the promos, it looks like you can make different pre-made city arrangements, some more like a CBD, others more like a smaller city, unlike 2, which only seems to be the one city.

I did want to make sure I wasn't overlooking something, would definitely appreciate feedback from anyone who owns either of these, and I'd appreciate advice if you think there's a better Stonemason product for what I'm after (there's a lot!), or a different product/vendor altogether. Thank you!

    Both Urban Sprawl 2 and 3 are scaled to use with Daz characters.

    3 is indeed more recent. It includes Iray materials and lights, so if you plan to render with Iray that can save you time.

    Both are provided as either a complete city, as city blocks you can rearrange, or as individual props.

    Great thanks for the info! Sounds like 3 is the winner, because I do use Iray, and that is important to me.

    You can also use Urban Sprawl 2 with Iray, but that will mean a bit more work.

    Urban sprawl 3's blocks fit together nicely.  Urban Sprawl 2 has NewZealand and British road setup.(Drive on left side)

    Moved to Art Studio as it is a question about wexisting products, not a Product Suggestion.

    I have both and Urban Sprawl 2 converts easily enough to iRay. I like Urban Sprawl 3 better though and unfortunately the scale and street layout doesn't quite allow for 100% alignment of Urban Spawl 2 & Urban Sprawl 3 if you use them in the same scene. You can make small adjustments and get them to work together though.
