For example, there is a direct conversion from RE4R on Genesis 9. I'd love to see it in G8, because G9 is too heavy for my pc. Is it possible to convert it or not?
If you set the subD to level 1 and not use the 8K maps wouldn't that reduce the load enough? No nipples or belly button for nudie renders I'm afraid unless you use the 3rd party ones.
Yes, it is possible. You can do the majority of it in DS itself. What is the character/morph in question?
I think there is a market for a scripted G9 to G8 character conversion, if that were possible?
🙂
@eelgoo
Eel, that's possible.. I mean in Ds, this workflow could be automated by a DAZ script converting full head/body morphs from G9(non-HD) to G8. RSA might be working on it... but I suppose it'd be released after G8 - G9 converter..)Let's just wait and see 😀
PS: Fixing work still have to be done manually, e.g. re-rig eyes / mouth cavity, fix partial morphs, expression morphs, etc. Texture maps also have to be manually converted...
TBH Richard, I doubt it will ever happen through official channels.
His V4-G8F Character Conversion script that folk were shouting for & he agreed to do, never happened.
I suspect a script for G9 - G8 character conversion would meet a similar fate due to pressure from Daz.
🙁
P.S. Personally, I am not bothered about converting V9 texturing.
I am quite OK with stuff available for G8FEel, I get your point ~
Looking back, I found G8-G3 converter was released on Sep 2019 when it was just 2 years after G8's release date... Not sure if a similar timeline could be replicated on G9-G8, but it still depends on author's momentum and Daz's attitude.As for V4-G8F converter, probably RSA was fed up with making those converters 😆
To me, G9 has nothing special but a pile of 'ugly mesh' with retrograde topology / wires + new bones. In most cases, they only bring me troubles for any conversion on it...
Now shall we revisit that well-known '10 months' in between G1 and G2 ~
Let's see how many '10 months' there'll be in between G9 and next gen... 😀
https://www.renderhub.com/dazcover/re4r-albert-wesker it's this one. not out in the site yet, but i've been waiting a very long time for a decent Wesker model for G8
@katdume
OK, this one~ Surely convertible. But such a non-HD G9 might not be that heavy for your PC, and I don't think he has many hi-res texture maps...Shall we know your hardware spec.? Perhaps you don't really have to convert it...
I never said the process was simple...just that it is possible. I just wish I had the smarts to make it automated =)
the issue is me having to convert my characters to g9 if i wanted to render one of them with him 🙁
16GB RAM
4GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 970)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Keep in mind, my PC is 8 years old. I've changed the RAM and the Power Supply a while ago.Ouch, my last GPU was a GTX960 before I got my current one (RTX2080) so I know what you're up against with just 4GB VRAM and not many CUDA cores.
No worry~ this Albert WESKER G9 is not V9 HD, my gut feeling ~ VRAM he's gonna consume is more or less just like a typical G8F HD character. You still have chance to render him + wearables with GTX 970, by using Scene Optimizer plus some params. tweaking...
Idk why RiverSoft Art didn't make one yet but yeah it is possible in daz. There is a tutorial for it by wp guru but that's a long work and troublesome imo.
Sorry to necro this thread, but I thought it preferable to starting another.
I am surprised I haven't seen much progress anywhere on a scripted G9 to G8F Character Converter.
I would have thought that by now, some smart person would have developed one.
It is a shame, because from time to time we do get some decent looking G9F characters popping up.
