Small little question, but does anyone have an opinion or knowledge on anything out there really good for specifically saliva? (if say spitting or drooling out of mouth) I've got a few different liquids already but would like to just buy a good one if it can specifically do this well.

Hi guys, just like a lot of people I'm learning DAZ, mostly to create some images for fun.
I have a question about interior scenes. What is the best way to handle windows that are looking outside in the background of the image? Do you use photoshop to add something later, or use some specific interior hdri's? Or do you just try to avoid having a window in the background most of the time?

Imo, there is no real "best" solution, it really depends on the scene and what you're trying to render.

-Photoshop works really well but sometime feel off with the rest of the render.
-Backdrop image if you gonna go fast with no PS but backdrop follow camera angle which can be annoying.
-Instancied props like buildings, skyscrapers or trees, more heavy to render but generally works well.
-Hdri, go from good to terrible, really depends on Hdri quality and scale.
-edit: I forget straight/curved plane with a picture can works too, iray skydome as well.

Now you can mix up any of these and cheat a little (like blurring your image/backdrop or make your windows more opaque).

hey guys, sorry for the constant asset requests, but does anybody know the name of the character used to model this outfit/have a link where I can download her? 1586633575045.png

I have a model, and the eyes look too glossy, almost as if she is crying all the time. I poked around in the "Surface" -> "Eye Moisture" and "Eye Socket" settings, but couldn't come up with anything that alleviated this issue.

Here's an image for reference. This is in an empty scene with no additional lights.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Any dforce simulating expert here? How can i simulate just one thing in a scene? I just want a veil to fall of one a Genesis 8 Charackter. Like a cloth on a table. But everytime i simulate the whole scene starts to simulate like an animation (the charackter starts from pose 0 to the pose i changed her with the veil on the head.

To prevent other dForce items from simulating, hide them using the eye icon within the scene window. Really it's best to just simulate with a single dForce item and any objects to which is relates. To have the item just fall, change the pose transition time to 0 in the simulation settings.

I attempted to install, then uninstall and reinstall multiple times, this one butt morph. However, no matter how much I check to make sure the files are all in the correct location or retry, the morph isn't showing up in my Daz application. The download claims to be a slider, but I can't find it. Can someone please help me out with this?

I think I have the same asset, only for G8F and its sliders are in Parameters tab, not in Morphs. Can't check for sure atm.

I was wondering for a while a decided to ask: why some people keep using G3 models or others, older than G8? Only becuase there are some assets that are available only for that version, or because they already started their work on that version? Or are there another reasons?
And also sometimes I see assets specifically for specific models, like Victoria 8. Why would somebody create such restrictive path to create assets, instead of using G8F? Just because this model is more popular than basic G8F in some cases? Or maybe everybody is using this mythic Victoria 8 as a basic model instead of (bad?) G8F for some reason?

G3 is still used because it had the largest avalaible assets for a long time and there is little difference between G3 and G8 (same UV map, but different bones and slightly different mesh iirc), and you can convert anything G8 to G3 quite easily.

V8 is based on G8, so everything V8 should work G8 and vice & versa.

I'm not sure about it but I think G8 was created mostly for model unification (no more different UV maps, proper rigging structure for animations, facial expression...).

So there's Breastacular graft, which has such feature as collision with other objects. I'm totally in love with it and now I'm wondering - is there the same thing for glutes? So far I've found Glute Control, Squish Morphs, Stereo Love - all of them don't have that real time calculated collision morph feature. But maybe there's hope?

Hi, this is a render supposedly to be used for my planned game.
I haven't used any lighting rigs in this scene, but only HDRI and emmisive surfaces provided by the enviornment asset.

However, I notice there's some noise spots on the left female's shoes,
so I am asking what's the best efficient and quickest way for denoising?

Thanks.

Healing tool with GIMP or Healing brush with PS, it takes few seconds. Or spot render the shoes again with toned down gloss on shoes surface.

Okay, I've found one of previous recreation's suggestions in this thread regarding adding mesh smoothing and collisions to the figure and playing around with it. It kinda works as Breastacular's feature, just 10 times slower and 100 times worse :D. At least with my PC it's nearly impossible to achieve accepable positioning, and creating animations is out of the question.
Looks like there's actually no such product (yet)...
Welp, no squeezed asses for me!
