High polygon count models are harder for slower computers. The higher the polygon count of the model, the more resources required to render and use this model. All of these 3d models can be found for sale in the Daz store. The decimator tool converts the quads used on Daz models into tris. Method Used To Calculate G8 Long Hair List – using the decimator tool I was able to look at the total polygons in each model. Male and females can use the other gender hair models. The more polygons, the longer the render time. Note: The higher the polygon count, the more computer processing power needed to render and use the hair model is the typical rule.I will do tests in the future for short hair, and updo styles. There are many other hair models on the market, however, I can only test what I own. Here are the polygon results for all of the long G8 hair models I was able to test for your own reference. Remember male and females can use the same hair, so even if a hair model says it’s for females you can use it on males and vice versa. Notes About This List: I was only able to rank G8 long hair based on the models I own. Poly measurements in tris instead of quads): Suggested Top 10 long hair G8 models for slower computers (model name first, then polygon count. Hair models are a leading source of higher polygon numbers in a 3d render in Daz 3D Studio. Polygons alone won’t determine the speed of your renders, or the computer’s ability to handle a 3d scene, but they certainly play a major role. These models were selected because they were a lower polygon count, which in my opinion makes them better for using with slower computers. The following 10 hair models are for Genesis 8. You can read this in-depth article with lots of examples and information here: Previously I wrote about polygon bloat on Daz models and even had some helpful suggestions on how to work around having an older slower computer. There are also many wonderful hair models you can purchase in the Daz store which do not suffer from polygon bloat and will be much nicer for older computers to work with. There are hair models in the Daz store for G8 figures that have well over 1 million polygons, which is a problem for slower computers. In fact, a high polygon count can be a sign of sloppy 3D modeling and design. It is a common widespread misconception that the higher the polygon count, the better the model. Polygon bloat is in reference to when you have a model that has needlessly complex and excessive polygons, which in turn slow your computer down. In Daz 3D Studio hair models can be a leading source of what I call polygon bloat.
