How much does geoshell impact render time?

i53570k

I have a full body geoshell that adds some sweat to G8 and the effect is barely visble even under ideal lighting condition but appears to add quite a bit to render time.  It does not seem worth using.  So I am wondering how much impact does geoshell have on render?  If I use a geoshell that adds a facial scar, is it like rendering an extra face?

You may find that daz studio assets and/or technologies don't have render times as a priority. From geoshells to LIEs to HD characters to tessellated strand hair to the iray denoiser itself. If you are really concerned about render times then go to blender. Otherwise be happy with daz studio as it is.

not just an instance as it has it's own UV's potentially and maps
