I dont think anyone should expect we will get the plugin for free just because of the troubles we have had with the current plugin.



It's their right to define the pricing for V3, but for me is more important to get what I paid for:

* released version of DAZ Studio plugin for Octane 1.x ...

For instance, in the provided example we are looking at a close up of a nude arm pit while the arm is straight out. Most arms aren't naturally in that position for a close up. Most arms are down in some way, and often clothing is worn.

I've just used the same mesh and close enough lighting and ...

Also... did you try smoothing? I do that sometimes with accordioned hip or arm bends.

With this 'issue' increasing the subd level as linvanchene suggested is legit method. A bit 'brute force' thou :) Smoothing cannot help here as bad things happen after all modifiers got applied - when ...

No, it still is 'going to come'.


Forum members are putting together a list of known bugs, to present to t_3, but he hasn't said exactly what was changed, what is new, and what he has fixed. Maybe parts of the bug list ...

Linvanchene, can you expand on what the reported issue with #6 and #7 is?
I didn't encounter any animation specific issues yet, just tell/remind me if there are any known.


My posts earlier in this thread have everything about #6 and #7, with illustrations. Other posts describe various problems ...
