Well I would not go as far as to say a hard no in advance, since I do believe the dev should always have the final word, but there are def dangers in such a thing and would advice to leave to major changes for a next game.
By "hard no" I mean I would vocally object (until neighbours start complaining about the noise) and possibly write a treatise about why that should never be done. That's all. Although I wouldn't do it here, I have abandoned games for this very reason. :)

That one I just did was. On the bldg? I ramped down the detail and just did a 4k size render for 10 minutes.
I mean the reason why I prefer the original is not that it this was a quick test.;)

Sorry for the confusion. I wish my 10 minute tests looked like that. :D

If Notty had added the details and time for a long run, she would have likely looked a lot more like the Amanda we both like.

Yeah she looks a bit older and def more unfriendly in the test render, but like I said that might be cause Notty did not add her touches and magic to the test:p
That's exactly it.

We're comparing a one hour render to a ten minute one.

I shouldn't have put it up tbh in retrospect. *won't make that mistake again*

Like I said, look at the eyes and the eyebrows. If you consider different design to be a touch/magic then yes.

It's okay. At the very least, it gives you one piece of information that is crucial for the rest of our adventure together: if we don't like something, we can tell you. That means we're not just blindly following everything you do like so many blind sheep in front of the Shephard :p

Retrospectively, it also means that until now, we did like everything you've made :)

Not at all, it just shows how much work you actually put into each and every render. :)

Like you said, it's a 10-minute test, not a full render. What isn't clear is how much prep work was involved? (Daz virgin here!)

I'm sorry, but I don't think render time would make a difference to what I was saying. What I was pointing at, is in the 10 hour render as well.

I agree with Sulring Durgul on this. I made a mistake earlier of looking at the first render on its own and not making the comparison. Also, I didn't expect that kind of difference...

There is no problem with 10 minute renders...:(

Just a misunderstanding, perhaps?

Yeah it is almost the same difference as when if you have a girlfriend and you wake up with her in the morning when she has a bad day with a heavy cold with when she is ready to go out for a gala dinner all ready and dressed for success (or to kill). :p

Yep, this. I think honesty is important. False praise doesn't help.:)
