I still haven't seen a reason to switch to G8. I don't do animations yet. So... other than the fact that you can convert things to G8... why would I want to? I mainly do G3 for AWAM characters because that's what the original character assets are so I like to match them up.I don't really understand the reason to stick with G3 when G8 figures will auto-fit almost all the G3 clothing with no issues. Some hair that is G3 only can be a problem, but there are work-arounds for this. Also pretty much every morph available for G3 are already available for G8. All G3 textures can be used as is with G8 except for eyelash morphs. There are more aniBlocks, if you use them, for G8. I suspect that we will see less and less G3 new stuff in the future.
Conversions are getting better and even if you use HD morphs for G3, all and more are available for G8 and perform identically. This alone can make the stupid DAZ placed limitation of only being able to import at base resolution almost an insignificant limitation.
Moving into G8.1 is more difficult as the UV map is different, and the face posing is built differently.
Maybe someone here would be willing to explain to me why someone should stay with G3? Please explain it like I am a five year old.
I've fiddled around with G8 and G8.1... I am more used to the G3 controls, especially for facial expressions... G8.1 controls were the worst, at least for me. I could get used to the new controls, but my main question is always... WHY? Upgrading just for the sake of upgrading isn't a good reason for me.
