Well, saying that only one path was great implicitly means the others weren't great as well. That's profanity!I know DPC can be a mercurial SOB, but this--as you describe it--seems unlikely. There has to be more to it, if he indeed blocked you. Maybe you said something about Josy/Maya being great and then asked about mod support?
You, sir, are my hero and deserve the Medal of F95.I got hit with a ban when I said we had to wait 9 months just so you can animate Leon in a skirt with his ass cheeks out lol
Let's be honest and objective, the use of lighting in BaD is really sloppy and amateurish. It could have been okay in 2018 but from a flagship product that generates record revenue, one would expect something better, at least to see a minimum effort in placing the lights in a decent way (and clothes as well).In DAZ lighting settings you can increase the number of points from which the light will be reflected to enhance Path Tracing, but knowing the DPC it will come up with something else, for example, render everything in 4K
He could have benefited from simply spending more time working on static renders to make them prettier with additional effects setup. Specifying the light geometry as a disk or cylinder instead of a point source greatly improves the quality of shadows, and DoF makes the image more voluminous. He should have focused on eliminating minor flaws rather than making pointless improvements. Since he working like a manufactory posing ~200 statics per week, He often ignores the shortcomings.
You rightly say that its primary goal is to mass produce a large quantity in the shortest possible time so he does not really care about improving the quality. Maybe that's the best choice for his business. It is also possible that only a few of us are able to notice these shortcomings in the images, because I have read rather embarrassing enthusiastic comments about them, especially on Reddit (on F95 I think many more people are able to "read" an image, probably due to the fact that we have seen many VNs and good fan art).
