Oh yah no thats fine nothing extreme, I was just trying it with the stock g8f and stock dickinator in daz and was having problems - could only make bjs work with extreme lip morphs which end up exposing her teeth and looks more like a snack than a bj
You might have a terminology gap - "scenes" are generally called Environments in Daz3d. There's a bunch available via the official DAZ store
Render State and ZoneGFX are what I use when trying something before buying it. Especially if it's a vendor I've never really used before.
Yeah these are helpful, ive poked around zgfx before, good to know others.
Can these be used in blender right away or need work before doing so? I tried learning Daz, but I found it really hard so I stuck with blender
Generally speaking, someone else is always going to end up using it. Getting something to not look like every other super-modern house/etc. is adding your own textures, shaders, and assets to things. You can make a lot of things look completely different with just those.
Blender is significantly tougher to grasp. Daz should be fairly easy to grasp once you pick up its rather minimal UI/tools (comparatively speaking.). What exactly are you having trouble with regarding Daz?
this is really what I needed. Appreciate the detailed response.
Doesn't matter how much tuning I make to them, I never manage to make them look GREAT for me. The pros however are that you can place them wherever the fuck you want. Except that it's dForce which sometimes works fine (and sometimes just doesn't because it's fickle as fuck, for me anyways )
Just happened to me the same two days ago. You have to install DAZ Central before installing DAZ Install Manager, I solved this way.
Sorry I cannot help you I just installed DAZ.So I have a bit of a weird question, but what cum-assets are you guys using for DAZ? Are there any that are GREAT? That you can move around and alter, and still looks realistic?
The BEST ones I've found are basically made by DragiHadzitosic or DB XXX, such as (in no particular order, and I'm not gonna name ALL of them)
https://f95zone.to/threads/cum-addict-for-g8f.45000/
https://f95zone.to/threads/cum-pro-pack-3.42543/
The assets made by DragiHadzitosic are honestly great (after some shader tweaking!), but they aren't conforming to whatever figure you're using. Is the asset floating in mid air because you changed the size of the figures boob or changed the shape of her face or whatever? Tough luck! Want to move the cum a bit to the right? Fuck you, tough luck!
The assets made by DB XXX are usually dForce (not all of them), and they don't look that great. Droplets usually work for me because they just hang mid-air and look sorta reasonable. However, when I use the main feature, dForce, it usually looks something like this:

Which doesn't look that good, at all. It is tedious as fuck and takes a while to apply, and I'm not happy with how it turns out 8 times out of 10
The DAZ cum-assets that I've found are either:
1) Good, but you can't move nor alter them much without it fucking everything up. If your character model deviates too much from the original shape the asset is made for you'll have visible stuff just floating in mid-air.
or
2) You can move the asset and place it, but most of the time it doesn't look that realistic no matter how much I try to tune them.
What I'm looking for in a GREAT asset is something I can use to make cum look REALISTIC, like these:

There are thin sheets of wetness mixed with streaks and globules of cum. All in all, I think that looks cute!
I also want the asset to be customizable. I want to be able to change positions and add or remove stuff, whether it be sheets of wetness, cum-streaks of cum-globules!
I can't make that in DAZ, with the assets I've found. Because of that I kinda sorta snapped, and decided to make my own cum-assets in Blender, so I SORTA CAN do all those things in DAZ. Basically I load the figure from DAZ to Blender, apply whatever cum effects I want conformed to the figure I'm working on and export those back into daz.
Some shader magic later and I can get cum-effects that look sorta realistic:

This method is convoluted AF with a lot of steps, just to get this looking realistic but it works.
Now that I've figured out how to do it it's about as complicated as using the dForce based cum-assets (but without dForce fucking with me). I think this looks good, and I can alter the fuck out of it. If I want more (or less) wetness, cum-globules or streaks then I can add (or remove) that without any major hassle.
Anyway, my question is, ARE there DAZ-assets that I can use that can do that, that I've overlooked/not found? Is there an easier way of doing this inside DAZ, with similar results and customizability that I've missed?
But I agree that what the cumshots are usually very bad in most of the renderings I've seen. Your Blender result is really really good, how did you do that, from zero or have you used some pre-made asset?That was my point, it's really hard to get cum and stuff like it to look good in DAZ!Sorry I cannot help you I just installed DAZ.
Or at least with the assets I've found. I'm really just wondering if there is an easier way of doing it that I've missed, or if there are better DAZ assets that I've missed that look good and are semi-easy to position where I want them.Thanks, I've never used Blender before this so I know jack shit about it
It's basically just a bunch of fluid-simulations, that I cobble together for what I want, for the model I want them on. I used some assets made for DAZ at the start, but you really don't need that. When you make the asset into a fluid in the simulations it's pretty much unrecognizable anyways. 
There's is nothing in DAZ that can be done in <5mins.
Nah, I'd start with DAZ.
To preempt the following rant and try and help you - it depends what exactly your goal is. Do you want to become a proficient 3D modeller aside from the game you're making? Or is that just in service of the game? If you want to do more, I would augment Daz with Blender or Maya or 3ds. If your primary goal is just making your game and nothing else, daz is fine.
Everything about the transform tool...
Okay, look, I'm not saying DAZ is perfect, because it isn't. I'm saying it's a good place to start if your outlook is "I wanna make a RenPy game!" because you can do a lot of the workflow for images inside DAZ without having to do a ton in other programs.
Yeah, that's a clear drawback. There are solutions to that tho:Everything about the transform tool...
Lack of even simple mesh editing tools (sans hexagon)...
Honestly same, and I agree. DAZ works best with a large library of assets, but that's kinda their whole business-model. They WANT you to buy assets, just as they actually want people to make assets for DAZ. That said, what program doesn't work better with a large library of assets?
I'm not gonna argue any of that, some of DAZ IS un-intuitive and annoying, but I find it's the same for most other programs. There's always something that's just dumb, or overly complicated lol.
