Hey guys, new to the forum but I've been here for years.
I haven't even loaded 8.1 yet. My work is non-photorealistic anime style stuff, so although I do love the better facial movements of 8.1. I've yet to really delve into usage. I just don't have a lot of time these days.
One thing that caught my eye is that it's supposed to be better for animation? But I tried searching for info about that and couldn't find anything. What exactly makes it better for animation?
I had a slight frustration about using G8 for animation until I FINALLY learned how to use IK chains effectively (I found that I have to lock the translations and rotations of the IK Chains to keep the feet firmly in place). So now I'm a happy camper with G8.
At this point I have years of work ahead of me converting old V4-G3 morphs with Gen X and Xtransfer to Genesis 8. So unless Genesis 9 has something really amazing to offer, I'll be sticking with G8.
I wish it were that easy, and maybe it will be one day. But for now, I open up the, I guess texture maps?...that come with the base characters and then turn on wireframing in Daz and match the polygons from the live figure to the texture maps loaded in ps.
This has helped me in terms of accuracy, but it can be a slight headache.
