Well, i do wonder about GILL trying his hand at daz, cause he seems to know really well how to show emotion.I was thinking about the same thing. Unfortunately even new honey select libido didn't change current situation. It took me like 10 minutes when the game came out, I looked at the new poses, found them boring and badly done, after that I deleted the game. The character models also look worse in my opinion. I even think that HS Playhome has better scenes than this new HS.
And as for animations, I think the dev of House in the rift did quite good job working with HS animations, at least I don't think i saw them before.They pretty long and looks smooth. I would like to note that I mention it not for advertise purpose(the game itself pretty boring IMO, typical harem with few interesting characters), but just as example, how people can create quality stuff with HS. Still I believe devs of Pale carnations are doing well so far, they deliver pretty hot scenes. So far, I didn't notice any repeats in them, but this problem with limitation can appear in the future, so this need to understand. But, we simply don't know if the devs will be planning to change engine in the future. Maybe they too comfortable with this engine. Of course, I am interested in the fate of their future projects (if they planning them), as I really like their creative style. And if they decide to try their hand at a new engine, I think it will broaden their possibilities.
though, doing the same amount of renders per update as when when HS is used and in the same time period, they would need multiple pcs with 3090s.
