You are right so ditching cities: skyline. I can't use other games. Then I have to find another method. Google map one is good but I will keep that as a last resort.
Same problem with Google Maps - you don't have the legal rights to use their images beyond as necessary to be a map.


on the other hand - double check the licensing, but those *should* be usable in almost any application.

You could do.





and if your PC will freek out, just render one building at a time in .PNG and then photoshop it all togeather. Just a thought

If you know how to handle a 3D software, you can use kitbash city objects and create your own town with that.

2nd render effort.
This one was on the new machine. 15 minutes instead of 2 hours. Haven't tweaked the settings yet, could maybe cut the time down further. Still, it's in the ballpark for actually doing something. Still 0 out of 5 stars skill level but with another couple dozen attempts I think I can get up to half a star lol

I will check that out. Any visible quality difference?
This image is using the resource saver texture.

And this one is the original one that came with the hair. They are both the same hair btw, just bangs are stylized differently. 4H Render Test_nvidia.png
If you ask me, I will take 550mb less and be happy with more people in my renders. Currently the character you see on the top picture takes 362mb with everything you see on her. 550mb saving from the hair means I can almost squeeze 2 more Kiera's to my scene :D Which is what I am after since I'll include some pretty crowded scenes to my game.

Does this 2nd hair suit her as a replacement for the 1st? I am going with it but I guess I could use opinions.
Option 1 is a professional, has done the job for a while, and who has been working all day.

Option 2 is someone one week or so in on the job who is a little overwhelmed.

Mostly as people who wear uniforms are generally expected to look more put together, and the second hair is - while absolutely more realistic - not nearly as put together as the first.

I am trying to render animation right now. probably going to try 480p maybe 720p. Any tips before I hit render? just test rendering since its first.
Render as image series rather than video and combine images via an external software. It will take less time to complete that way and you can use lightroom to batch post-process all of the frames or use intel denoiser on them. Also if you are rendering lets say 60 frame animation, you can set frames 0 to 20 to render while you sleep. When you wake up do your stuff and again set 21 to 40 for render. This way you can easily divide your workload.

I have finally solved the issue with animation speed. Daz fps were not matching video editors fps so I've adjusted it a bit. Now its all smooth. View attachment 709192 View attachment 709204
They're good tests, but - and I say this figuring you're already aware - you want to get the torsos moving on the guy in the first one and the woman in the second. The absolute stiffness in them right now is killing the whole thing.

I was gonna say that too but I figured he should have noticed.

I animated the damn dick frame by frame. The body separately. RIP.

Yea guys I am perfectly aware of that situation. They are just test renders mostly took 20 minutes to set up each. Was just trying to figure out that FPS issue. They are like galaxies away from being the final quality that will be in the game :D
