Diffeomorphic test

Hey hey folks, how's it going?
this is my continued attempt to transfer DAZ models into Blender 3.0. Instead of the DAZ to Blender bridge I used the diffeomorphic addon 1.6.2.

This image(with a simple light setup, no postwork) was rendered in cycles with 3000 iterations in 1.56 minutes. DAZ needed 5 minutes. 3 minutes faster doesn't sound much but when you render 100 or more images, that adds up massively.
In comparison Blender used only 2 Gigs of VRAM while DAZ needed 4,1 Gigs to render the image. That's a big big difference. Means I can push more stuff in a scene which is pretty nice.
Still need to figure out some things, like how to move the character and other stuff but this is good progress. I hope the g3 models that A-Z and Cary-June are based on can be easily transferred as well too.

The bodyshell was transferred only partially and I don't know how to control the emission on her belly piercing. But that can be dealt with in future rendering attempts. Blender is very different than DAZ, so there's still learning curve ahead of me.

Just wanted to let you know that.
Have fun
