Hello. I am currently working on a Ren'py visual novel game and I have a question for the community about 3D modelling software.
I originally thought this question was a no-brainer; I like the visual style of Daz a lot, it is free to download, and many assets can be found for free on sites such as this. Seemed simple and so I began to learn the software. However recently it seems that every new adult game I find that is of high quality uses Honey Select graphics and it feels like the style is in a bit of a golden era. Games like Stormside, Twisted Memories, Cosy Cafe, and Pheonixes are all extremly high quality games that seem to be on the cutting edge of the genre, whilst most of the games which use Daz seem to be older/longrunning projects. I can't remember the last brand new game that really excited me that uses Daz. To me this is crazy to see because i remember a time that Honey Select graphics were maligned and viewed as a reason to avoid a game.
So my questions to those out there with more 3D experience than me are this:
- What are the pros and cons of Honey Select versus Daz?
- Is Honey Select the overall superior softwware right now?
- Is it worth me jumping to Honey Select despite my experience with Daz? I have included a sample of my Daz renders below to showcase how far I am with that software (I still have a long way to go either way, but I have at least made a start).
Thank you for your time either way, I am also happy to answer questions about the game premise itself.
