Thank you all again!
In reverse order, I've found that nothing takes as much time to render as hair. Ali's hair renders a little faster but for anything like those curls, I know it's either lower my settings or if I want a truly high quality output prepare myself for another 14 hour render in which I don't touch my computer as I don't want to steal a single CPU cycle. I'd love to know if anyone has a truly hot rig (Mine is rated as middle of the pack. AMD Raedon Graphics with a AMD 7700 quad core 3.4Ghz and 8 gig of DDR Ram) and how performs when it hits that hair. Does turning off the light emitter decrease from the quality of the hair in your opinion?) Yes, I think I will do my own testing.
The good thing about this hair is that it is for V4 (Generation 4). I've tried adapting genesis hair to v4 figures and it's just a really big hassle and it never seems to look the way it should. God Bless SAV. Her hair modes are incredible. I hope her loved ones are doing well. Anyway, I used to check at DAZ every single day without exception. Now MAYBE once every couple of weeks. No doubt I've missed some sales I would've been interested in. I know they had a 4 dollar sale for M4 V4 and I waited one day too long to check out and POOF! It was gone. Like NolosQuinn, only once or twice have I bought an item to get the lower price on something else I wanted. They seem to think it's a good idea as it's been going on for at least a couple of years. Hostage Sales. Good name for it.
I will be checking out their PA sale next month. I've been saving for Poser Pro 11 but sometimes I see something I've been waiting for and I just can't hold back! Thanks LaurieA
I do wish that vendors would publish everything they use in their promo's. In this case, Sisters is actually a Genesis 3 figure which is a no go for anyone below Poser 11. Anain and AkashaBloodRiver the two talented vendors who came up with Sisters, used this wonderful V4 hair prop but in 8 different promo pix not one credit was given to any vendor. To both Vendors, if these were Poser usable I'd get the figures too as I like all races and ages populating my projects.
