Got asked about doing an article/review of the DAZ Studio/Bryce 5.5 combo today.
Thinking about it...seriously thinking about it.
I'm thinking that I may use it as a shot across the bow to the folks over at Poser....especially as a way to kick the heck out of them and the rendering engine. (Which needs to be improved/speeded up or just flat out chucked out the Window.)
The main rendering engine for Poser 5 and 6 is called "Firefly" (And it has no similarity in any way, shape, or form to that fucking Joss Whedon movie I am imminently sick of hearing about.) DAZ is using a setup licensed from 3Delight.
3Delight flat out cooks in speed....does raytracing and such pretty dang quick.
Oh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meteru , a while back I ran across a rendering setup that did a test run of V3, fully loaded with morphs in under a minute....well under a minute. I remeber mentioning it to you at the time, and I remember that it had an egyptian name to it. I can't find it now....do you remember what it was called?

Date: 2005-10-25 12:28 am (UTC)As for the 3Delight renderer, GODS YES. That's the primary reason why I switched Faith completely to DAZStudio and why I do the majority of DGN and H2H in it as well. The shadow mapping works better (and faster), and frankly I think it looks more realistic. Light setups are kind of a pain, but at least you can visually aim them (like you would a camera....nice feature). And don't try to port anything over with magnets or dynamic hair (but you know that). Other than that, it's well worth the price (another major plus).
