I never understand this obsession with low poly figures. The reality is that the 16K polys of G8 is already really low, and will be dwarfed by most other assets in the scene, particularly hair (I've seen eyebrows with more than a million polys). It is large image sizes (ie 4K x 4K and bigger) that eat up your RAM and VRAM, so spending ages (and money) creating a bunch of low poly assets will barely do anything to create useful scene fillers.

But @Havos, can I really get that many G8s into a scene? The most G8s I've used in a scene were 29, and that wouldn't convincingly fill any large setting. Below, I used 70 various lo poly pipo that I purchased whenever on sale from TurboSquid, CGTrader, & I forgot. They come in quite handy.

 

@xyer0, you did good. It looks like the Cherry Creek Shopping Center a few months ago when I was hauling my computer to the Apple store. Even in the holidays it had not recovered from covid and was barely crowded yet. Still had to dodge folks walking with their heads looking at their phones. That set is wonderful, but hard to fill.

For me, I would love more LoRez characters of a generic type from around the world, and be able to clothe them from LoRez outfits modern, ethnic, and historic. Or as others mentioned the MMX shaders or new ones to work on existing wardrobe items to lower their impact.

22 G8s make a great string orchestra.

That looks really good. I challenge someone to get anywhere close to that using Loretta & Lorenzo.

Not sure if those figures would be considered as background though, more like middleground.

Thanks, @Havos & @memcneil70, for the advice and link. There is a post here in which I list the stores I used to fill the Suburban Shopping Mall. Congratulations on composing that excellent shot, @AgitatedRiot.

There are some old clothes for the Lorez figures on ShareCG:

But really, you don't save much over regular Genesis figures if you strip out all the images you can, and use low poly hairstyles. Using instances to get multiple uses from the figures you use is also vital to building big crowds.

The watching crowd here is made from 6 G3Fs and 6 G2Ms

Fantabulous! Stupendous! Bravo! The singer alone is brilliant.
