Yeah good fucking luck trying to convince him to do that.Hopefully he ventures into Daz,Coz he can pumpout more content with the same time that he is currently spending on HS2,Think about it, We are getting 2k Renders for 1 year where as in Daz DPC pumping 5K+,The more the merrier,I am not into the quality debate or aesthetic difference between HS2 and Daz.This is me,I want more content
Daz usually looks horrible. I know only a handful of games with Daz renders that look acceptable, and even those are worse than typical good HS renders. Also, normally you hear that development with Daz is slower than with HS. (It's possible to mess up with both systems. Some people manage to create awful HS renders by setting absurd parameters, but with Daz it's practically the norm. Most games with Daz-based renders feature positively ugly women with unnatural proportions that go well beyond overdoing it with a breast size slider or something. Especially the faces of most Daz renders make me want to run away.)Hopefully he ventures into Daz,Coz he can pumpout more content with the same time that he is currently spending on HS2,Think about it, We are getting 2k Renders for 1 year where as in Daz DPC pumping 5K+,The more the merrier,I am not into the quality debate or aesthetic difference between HS2 and Daz.This is me,I want more content
From my point of view, the only advantage is that if you develop a game with Daz, you can sell it on Steam. (Which means that I have to pirate it because Steam is heavily censored in my country. I can't even access the store pages of AVNs on Steam, to the point that it's hard to figure out whether a particular AVN is available there for the rest of the world.)

It's not a given that moving to Daz would speed up their output. It could actually slow them down if they're unfamiliar with Daz and have to spend time learning. While on the flip side Caribdis is clearly very proficient with HS2.Hopefully he ventures into Daz,Coz he can pumpout more content with the same time that he is currently spending on HS2,Think about it, We are getting 2k Renders for 1 year where as in Daz DPC pumping 5K+,The more the merrier,I am not into the quality debate or aesthetic difference between HS2 and Daz.This is me,I want more content
DPC has been using Daz for around 7 years at this point. You can't expect someone else to match, or even come close to, their output with it without also putting in years with the engine.

You've got that exactly backwards.

Daz honestly looks kinda creepy to me. I prefer the more anime look of HS2. Glad Cari stuck with it the showed it's full potential
Clearly it's a matter of taste. I am European myself, but I vastly prefer the averaged (and therefore beautiful) Japanese/Korean looks of HS models over the harsh looks of American prostitutes. (PS: Or maybe I should have written: typically ugly American porn actresses.) The latter have more variety, but not in a good way.
(I am not sure what's going on there. To judge from Hollywood actresses, American beauty standards aren't too different from European ones. But on the other hand, a lot of Americans seem to consider some women beautiful who look positively ugly to me.)

It's all a matter of personal taste. I like both styles but find that the floor in Daz is much lower and a bad looking game using it looks really bad, animations in particular. HS2 on the other hand even the worst looking ones using only base HS2 graphics still look decent at minimum. While the great looking games using either engine can look fantastic.

At least "American prostitutes" are humans and not anime drawings.

I think Daz renders look better, but HS animations are more hot. Daz animations look like mannequins fucking.

I am sure Someone who is on the top of the level of their work can easily acquire new skills,A man like Caribdis would surely up his game with Daz with in a few seasons,Skill gap would be for people who dont put enough time and focus,This guy is churning cream of the crop renders currently in HS ,I am sure he can learn DAZ,The Initial hiccups can be overcome with time

I have no doubt Caribdis could pick up Daz and learn to get good with it. But they're very different programs and proficiency with HS2 wouldn't transfer to being good with Daz at all. So it'd take time, and likely slow production down for at least a while.
The entire conversation is moot anyway since Caribdis has made their thoughts on moving to Daz pretty clear. They're not a fan.
