GLBPlatic - Glossy - resolution (CLOSED)
119
This is kind of a rant ...
Back the days, everything from daz3d and many other stores had the horrible default surface setting "plastic"
Skin - plastic of course
Cloth - plastic, what else
Wood - *hahaha* almost fooled you here, right? again plastic
Everything came with plastic surface.
And today, how does it look today?
Glossy, it has to be glossy, everything glossy, it's annoying!
The next is the skin, pushed up to xxx K, if the quality is there or not it has to be 4-5-6-7-8 K and many close-up render are becoming a nightmare, because the skin looks like a wallpaper.
Every render takes hours, the CPU is screaming but hey, let's make it 8K skin and everything glossy and let the end user deal with these stupid resolutions and settings.
Ok, feeling better now, sometimes it's nice to rant

Oh oh - Pandora's box ... I'll just say Pandora's box .....
Watch out, the user who starts with "A" is about to come and start ranting. Your own fault
There is also a simple relationship:
Plastic/Glossy = fast rendering
from 2K maps = it gets slower
Pushee-Ri's presets with Refraction, TopCoat, 8K maps = the torture never stops

Nope, I don't worry, I'm not the typical target for A (I think )
I will just reduce the glossy or even zero it, if glossy isn't necessary
and hope for future generations, that they will look at their own skin and think by themselves: Nope, my skin isn't glossy, so my 3d figures don't need glossy either.

Mon, Nov 04, 2024Ah ok, this explains it... I didn't know that gloss reduced rendering time.
I'm a very bad student then, full set of textures in 4K including the famous roughness map XD

Mon, Nov 04, 2024Uupps - bad choice of words from me: it's not Plastic/Gloss itself that minimizes the render time ... but the lack of other settings (maps) that usually goes hand in hand with the aforementioned
Beg pardon for my poor words

" tout ce qui brille n'est pas d'or"

"all that glitters is not gold"
Sallers who leave the default textures plastic and glossy may think they're making money
It's a French saying (there's probably an equivalent in other languages).
It means be careful, don't just trust appearances, trust only what you see, because things aren't always what they seem.

Mon, Nov 04, 2024You're right, this saying is to find all over the world
I think, it's more kind of "being on the safe side" cause daz originals are with these settings and if daz does, it must be good, or what ever weird thinking is behind that.
