KeyShot 10.2 has been released. There is one important new feature that may interest those who have been trying to port over a Genesis figure to render in KeyShot. There’s a new Mesh Simplification tool. It appears to be all or nothing<\/a>, though. Its simple UI suggests you can’t crunch just the mesh in the body under the clothes, while leaving neck and face and hands untouched. Unless perhaps you still have well-named mesh layers inside KeyShot. <\/p>\n

For selective mesh reduction you would ideally need the official Decimator plugin inside DAZ Studio before export, and that plugin is still at $100 on the DAZ Store. <\/p>\n

Those taking posed and dressed Genesis 8 figures over to Poser (for the comic-book line-art and sketch features, not for photoreal) will want the Automatic OBJ Exporter script set<\/a> and the $50 Atangeo Balancer, to speed the process and make the figure wieldy in Poser. Atangeo does a very good job, is easy to use, and is far more stable than Meshlab. The downside there is no re-pose-ability. The result is a static .OBJ figure, but at least after decimation it doesn’t weigh umpteen gigabytes.<\/p>\n

I have not been able to test it yet, but apparently KeyShot 10.x has fixed the ‘butterfly-wing eyelashes’ problem on DAZ figure imports. The problem was previously caused by lack of support for transparency maps, but is now said to be fixed. <\/p>\n

Those trying to take Genesis to KeyShot for photoreal may also want the Realistic Skin Shader for Keyshot<\/a>. Though it’s probably now a lot less hassle just to stick with iRay, now that iRay has seen a number of very major speed-boosts over the last few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
