I have officially stepped down from my mod position with the group Aiko&Hiro Addicts. I have decided to do this after I have stopped using Aiko3 and completely switched over to using Genesis 2 Female instead. I have greatly enjoyed using Aiko3 over the past 10 years or so but the technology in the figure is old and out dated. For quite some time now I have been unhappy with the way A3's joints look unrealistic when bent and have wanted a more realistic looking figure. I never took to V4 and her kin and Genesis1 only grew on me a little. But with G2F I am finding what I want in the figure and love the ease if character mixing that was impossible with anything before Genesis tech. I was never into A3 for doing anime even though her anime roots are what drew me to the figure to begin with. While Genesis 1 is good I just find having a seperate female based dedicated to the ladies makes it far better for all things specific to the female form. And there are technology improvements over G1 that make it better in my eyes. I imagine I will use A3 again somewhere in the future as its a good figure but primarly from here on out its Genesis 2 Female for me. I am personally glad to see that DAZ3D has finally made a 3D female figure that can take over for Aiko3.
Thank you.
Thank you.
A long story made short...
Today marks the 3rd year since I received a 2 month ban and had half my artwork deleted here at DA. Which of course resulted in my choice to leave DA. I found out some interesting details from a kind soul after my ban was lifted. This kind soul gave me a name and pointed me in the direction of another web site. To sum things up as best as possible, the chain of events basically when like this - An individual logged into their DA account and happened across some artwork done in Poser that they found very disturbing, as in it crossed boarders that should not be crossed, not even on DA. This stirred the individual to do some digging, however, regardless of any good intent they had, it snowballed and turned into a witch hunt. A short time later, this person posted in several websites outside DA about it and listed 30+ DA accounts. From that list, 4 people had their accounts deleted and about 8 more of us on that list had some or all of our artwork removed and received a ban. Thank
A Brutal And Malicious Hate Crime
I have been a member of DeviantART for just over 11 years. My time here has been rather quiet and has gone without incident. I can even count on one hand the number of trolls that have looked my way but cant recall why. And not a single one of my images was considered offensive or needing a mature tag. That all changed earlier this year however. For the first time ever I received a report that one of my images needed a mature tag. I appealed that and won. Several weeks later, another image was reported as needing a mature tag. So I appealed that one too and won. Little did I realize that those were the red flags going up. But I had

This was created with the purpose to help you put together large scenes in Daz Studio and render them in Iray. It is not a stand alone method but simply a guide, to be used in conjunction with other known methods to getting the most out of Daz Studio and Iray.

I'm making a similar move too since I found that Genesis 2 Female uses less system resources than Aiko 3 as it loads in Daz Studio 4.6. I'm not a 3D professional, my computer is not that powerful. That keeps V4 out of my contents library even I paid to obtain it just few months before it became a free item.
I wonder if the group will treat Aiko 6 as Aiko.
