Finding out asset size of Daz marketplace product

csaa

Hi, to All.

I hope this thread is the right place to voice my concerns. I export Geneis 8 Daz assets as OBJ for further processing in Blender. I've come to note that eyebrows are among the largest that I deal with, with the variance covering a wide range across different products. Sticking to the mesh files only, here are two examples:

LY_Kingsley_Brows_177468 (a.k.a. Frostmaiden HD Brows) = 19.8 MB

SiennaFiberbrows_21608 = 2.20 MB

With decent amount of decimation, I can reduce the sizes to a third or a fourth of the original. But before resorting to this, are there options in the Daz OBJ export to reduce the mesh file generated?

At any rate, it's become clear to me that the best option is to purchase eyebrow assets that are lower in polygon complexity. So my second question ... in general is it possible to find out the size of an asset at the Daz marketplace, be this in terms of polygons, faces or OBJ file size?

Maybe there's an easy way to get this data, but I can't, not before buying and installing the product. While purchasing and returning products is one solution, I'd still feel comfortable gauging the asset size before making the purchase.

Thanks for your response.Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

The OBJ exporter is literal, it exports the mesh as is (thougn if it has extra polygons created by SubD you can lower the divisions or set it to the base resolution before export). To reduce polygon count in DS you would need Decimator https://www.daz3d.com/decimator-for-daz-studio
