Edge loops for G8

Some have complained, that G8 has fewer polys and again no edge loops to have a decent muscle set up. Could some skilled DS guru not just create geo crafted conforming edge loop patches? Just an idea.

    Same as Genesis 3, it has been demonstrated that you can get good muscle mass and decent definition without all those extra loops.  I find you can blend morphs better too without the 'bunching up' of edges like with older figures.

    As for GeoGrafts, to cover every looping possibility you'd pretty soon end up replacing the whole mesh.

    You do not need edge loops to create muscle groups.

    Doesn't matter. All goes back to what tools you are using to make your base. HD only adds detail to what you already made.

    yeah...what he said LOL

    That render is HD, but the shape is still there in LD, it is just cleaner in HD and has more details

    Wow!  Is this 'Hero' preview of something you have in the works RawArt?  If so I'm going to start investing in G8 more. ;)

    It matters if it's HD if you want more detail.

    I thought that was rather obvious, but ... spelled out. Heh

    Normal maps work as well. Also learning how to exaggerate morphs with deeper cuts will add more detail; that was done in genesis 1 in figures like freak 5 when there was no such thing as HD.
