Trying some simple test renders, and to ask about other viewer's opinions on the quality as seen from different systems other than mine, and through other eyes.
I'm not saying these ladies are going to make it into a game, but I like the simple render test results.
1. What I have done is created each 1920 x 1080p render in Daz3D using only the default scene settings, no tweaks, filters, etc., and saved the files as .png files.
- The original files were about 1.45MB or so each, but needed some "pop", and took about 11mins to render, and as I said, were just rendered with the default scene settings (lights, camera, etc.).
2. I then ran each render through an offline upscale program, (paid) GigaPixel AI with 2x scaling to 3840 x 2160, to smooth them out a bit, using the default program settings for .webp files.
- The upscale files would be too large for a game 5MB or so in bulk use, (not a big deal with a few images), but I can imagine in a game with thousands to be quickly overloaded with those data sizes.
3. Then I used (freeware) XnConvert to turn all of the original and upscale images into .webp files, (to post here) which cut the weight "size" down between 122KB - 328KB, at these sizes sould be good for a game!
Although...
Please help me out, was it worth all that "work", and how is the ending content quality-wise in your eyes?
Thanks for your replies!
