I've been testing the DAZ tools for games, and I have some conclusions-comments: Without Mac support for reducing the models from in the millions the entire Daz-to-games thing is Windows only. The polygon reducer did an excellent job at taking millions to thousands but 19000 is still a high poly model so I have no idea how good the app's performance will be for non-next-gen-target-platform gamesģ.

Using conforming clothing to customize your model makes it incredibly easy to turn a large collection of Daz content into custom models for your games! The ease of this impressed me more than anything!Ģ. So, my thoughts on the Daz-to-games process summarized:ġ. (Some citation here would be appreciated!) Perhaps I was wrong, but it looked like it to me. but unless I was grossly mistaken it looked like the models still had a polygon count in the millions so the usefulness factor just went flying out the door for me. The prices were not unreasonable but not for everyone.

I was real excited when I heard of the game licenses. So I guess this was why I didn't really take much interest in the last one as I have already been put off the first two. Mac compatible, sure, but completely useless to me without the first one. The texture mapper tool was nothing to write home about but useful none the less. and then I noticed they don't support Macs. but the end result looked real good so I would be interested in seeing how well it handles taking 15000 down to 2500. though I recall thinking it was.Īnyways, I checked out the first video and I loved it! Although my games are mainly focussed on the iPhone and their sample video showed how you could do a 90% polygon count reduction and take a 1.5+ million polygon model down to only 19000 for use in games :? I thought that was a bit of a waste of a video. I forgot what it was so it mustn't have been very cool. I got an email from them yesterday in which they promoted 3 tools:
