Along with that hundreds and possibly thousands of morphs targets were created to allow the model to be animated or reshaped easily. The face alone has ~240 morph targets. I would say Victoria 4 is more like a small application. |
Hi Nichod,
I must say that LoneGunmann is right in one point, the devtime of Vic4 is a bit long let's say... I do work in the bizz and seeing how our Modellers smash out chars for the intro movies, ingame ect. let me guess that the guys at DAZ really were either extreeemly slow or just dropping hundreds versions of the model before getting close to say happy and even texturing a 4kx4k texture doesn't take 2 years... seen stuff like that done in a week. So i must sadly admit that LoneGunmann hits there a point, as well as the upgrade policy with Daz.
Bryce is the best example, I thaught after getting Hex 2 that the bugs where due to an unfinished product and that daz will go for fixing properly and so on, which is not the case with some of the most important features like texture painting I just say seems...
and then Bryce 6 came, the thing is unstable, constantly crashing and even the readme states directly that most of the features are not working...
Sadly we got again a Pre-Beta/Beta stage product from daz
or with Carrara what do they first?
run for the universal binary for the mac, I checked the bug tracker for carrara and we had more request for fixes than ever a request forthe universal binary at all... kind of weird for me
In that way I have to 100% second LoneGunmann.
And one last thing is that I pretty much also do not like to check for a update of the software and have to look at 1 million poser figure products, the stuff is ok for beginners who cannot model and want to try out 3D but carrara was intended to become more pro so I would like a seperate website for the products like Carrara, Bryce and Hexagon to give them at least a better base.
