Quote - Still don't care for the llamas.  They look too horse-like.  They're more closely related to camels than horses.  If I were going to make a llama, I'd start from a camel base, not a horse.

Someone once said that a camel is what you get when a committee tries to design a horse

Quote - I'm now managing about 5 Genesis figures in a scene, with any amount of other surrounding content, before I start to... or indeed as I start to... have real issues, with stability, performance... and ultimately rendering.

As a workaround in static scenes, couldn't you replace some of the genesis figures with obj props?Save a material preset for the complete figure, then export the figure as obj, delete the figure, import the obj and apply the material preset.

I haven't had a need to try it, just wondered if it might help in some situations.
