      @@imagineeverything Oh yeah! Wow thank you so much. How did I miss that...
      The name bluejaunte is from a book called "Tiger! Tiger!" by Alfred Bester (also called "The Stars My Destination)". People in a future world have learned "jaunting" which is teleporting with the power of the mind. but it requires clear visuals of point of departure and destination or something. Criminals are kept in special prisons that are dark and labyrinthian so they can't just jaunte out. When they are desperate enough they can "blue jaunte" which basically means "teleport to random place". They could emerge anywhere. Inside of a mountain, up in the air, at the bottom of an ocean etc. So basically suicide with a minimal chance of survival.
      So this is an English word, although a fictional one :)

      Cc has a ton more options when it comes to optimisation but I would be veeeerrryyyyy careful of cc if you dont know anything about how reallussion works. You’ll probably need to pay around 1500 euros to get it to a good working state with all their little catches and cons

    Thanks for another awesome video. I just made a post about this a couple days ago on a forum. I believe DAZ are making a huge mistake by being this greedy and they are not following other software in the race to be the next big thing everyone is using. UE5 is buying stuff from studios every month and giving it away for free while DAZ is trying to figure how to get the maximum money from the consumers. Totally different mentality. On top of that, DAZ haven't been developping their software in ages while other softwares like UE5, davinci, adobe, blender, substance painter, zbrush are all racing to try to get new technologies and up their game/software to be the best there is. Right now DAZ is untouchable in the character customization/morph possibilities and they know it but I believe that they will soon be passed by others (ie. Metahumans).

    • @imagineeverything
      @imagineeverything  Рік тому +1

      Hey mate:) yeahhhh this one really got to me. I just don’t understand the thought behind cutting the one feature that would help them out. So many people would be making free advertising for them with high detailed images but they don’t. Greed is a terrible thing. Hurts everyone. Yeah I’m not gonna lie I’ve been slowly going more and more to metahuman. I have a tutorial coming up to show how to use daz clothes for metahuman. Just trying to tie it up so it can be a lot faster to do:) hey thank you and have a great weekend mate :)

    Very informative. You're right though: It can be a disappointing and frustrating experience to want something and can't get it unless you join the 'club'. I hate the gotchas, too. That's why I go for the morphs and create my own characters. Being a Poser user over the years, I decided to give DS a go. Thanks for your insight.

    They are turning really greedy with some of their selling tactics. I hate that they basically try to force you to buy pro bundles to get the alternative shapes now. The RSSY converter works pretty well for most of my needs and they are still updating it. Although it is somewhat confusing as to when and why it works on certain things some of the time and not always.

    • @imagineeverything
      @imagineeverything  Рік тому +1

      Whats up my man:) Nice to see you and hope your doing good. Yeah I noticed this now with the extra shapes for pro bundles. Unfortunately greed nails 99.99999% of companies and people. Sad but here we are. This one for this plugin really rubbed me the wrong way. I just cant believe they do this. But anyway. Lets see how they progress. To much good competition out there now and the best one is free. So lets see. Hop you have a great weekend my man and keep well:)

    interesting...perhaps you could try baking the maps in substance painter and then using those maps on the g9 figure? the only trouble would be the UVs are completely different. I'm trying to figure out if theres a program that could convert g8 UVs into g9 UVs...

    • @imagineeverything
      @imagineeverything  Рік тому +1

      What's up my man. Problem is I want the details in the mesh not the textures. We can use mesh lab or other software but this has it all already built in, yet they spend money on cutting a feature to fit their little agendas. Metahuman give us every tool they create because they know it helps them in the long run, these guys think to short term. Pushes good artists away from using them. Have a good weekend buddy 😀

    It was a very good test. Thank you for sharing your results. Considering you have both shape and material converter, have you tried to bake Noemi's HD details to normal maps, and then convert her HD shaders to G9? That way you would have some if not all details back. Give it a try. This workflow her shown here: ua-cam.com/video/jikN3dPlUts/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
