I am sure this is not the first time this question has been answered, but I searched every which way I could think of and I could not find what I was looking for... I am sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have been playing with DAZ 3d for a few weeks now and have become semi familiar with everything, but with plenty more to learn. But my question is about the common faces we see from game to game. Especially the men but also the women and I have not been able to find these faces anywhere. For example, the female model in Lewd Island or DMD seem to be the same... is this just taking the time and effort to working in shaping and getting the right mods installed?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You need to be more specific. What particular models are you looking for?
Here's the assets for DMD: https://f95zone.to/threads/dmd-dating-my-daughter-art-assets-thread.4306/

Both of those characters are based on the same underlying Daz character, using the same hair, so it's not surprising that they look similar. There are actually some differences - the character in DMD has had a number of morphs applied so that her shape is not completely the same as the one on Lewd Island, but obviously they look similar. (Actually, the daughter in DMD has "evolved" somewhat over the course of the game - the figure at the start isn't actually identical to the figure late in the game.)

Essentially, IMHO there are a couple of forces at work here. First, many game developers use just "stock" Daz characters without doing any modifications on them. So you see those characters quite a number of times. Some people argue this is laziness. I tend to like to customize my own characters, but if others don't want to I'm not going to ding them over it.

Second, some developers are attracted to the characters that other developers use in their game - particularly popular games like DMD - and attempt to recreate or reuse those characters.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I tend to think of Daz models as actors/actresses playing roles, particularly when fully 'stock' characters are used, such as Akasha as Tracy in Dreams of Desire or Summer as Katie in Katie's Corruption.

When thought of in this context, yeah I don't have a problem with fave models getting re-used in other games. After all, the models are 'sold' so that anyone can use them in their art (not the 3d mesh though, that requires an additional license). So while I know some people like to beat up developers for using the same models over and over, yeah they are just actors...

You don't see people complaining about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson being in a bajillion movies, although they may complain about his weaker roles. So if Russell HD keeps finding new roles in a number of adult games, more power to him (and to his Daz3D creator)!

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

[Chorus]
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, `cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles, it's a very very
Daz world
Daz world
Daz world
Daz world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Yep. I don't mind it either, I was just curious where people were getting the models from. Like the older white guy who is Olivia's dad in DMD or dating Anna's Sister in Anna Exciting Affection... that guy is in every game. The MC in Big Brother is another common dude. I just wondered if there was a bundle with these people or if you just have to search for them.

@Geekbone

The various art assets threads, and to a lesser extent the fan art threads on this forum, can point you to the models used. Most are available via Daz3D or Renderosity, and a number of them may have been detailed in the Art Assets section of this forum.

@jerricho13 already pointed you to one of the art assets threads. You mentioned Olivia's dad. I already mentioned him in my previous post, he's .

There's another thread on this forum that is documenting the various places Russell has been used. I'd love to see him making cameos in a bunch of new games, mainly just so we can add to his fame as a well known 3d model/adult gaming star...


Not all games have fan art or art assets threads, but usually, if the model is familiar, someone may have pointed it out already in the game thread, depending on how long the game has been around.
