Fan Art Being A DIK: Fan Art

So um when clicking Rio arm tattoos, it said that I'm missing two files, but when i go to the folder, I got the file that Daz clams I'm missing don't know what's up View attachment 3387632 View attachment 3387633

I don't know what the issue is, I'm guessing you're using Daz 4.21, I had similar problems using Daz 4.20, some textures wouldn't load, some hdr backgrounds wouldn't load, so I went back to 4.16. I haven't had a problem since, I only use Daz 4.20 etc if I'm working exclusively with Genesis 9, which is rare.

I got ver 4.22, So how do you go back to the older version?

Just keep googling it. I found this.

Just run it through a virus scan.
I'm not sure what the key.txt is for.
I'd watch this about installing it.

The only thing I can suggest is check the rigging.
1. Select the under Joint Editor under Tools
2. Right click, Edit/ Adjust Rigging To Shape.

3. If that works I suggest watching this video, for the next part, because I've messed up characters in the past using ERC Freeze.

Many thanks Pillock
I used your guidelines, but in the Joint Editor under Tools menu you have to select Restore->Restore figure rigging. That fixed the rotation axes and now everything is normal. I will also review the video you mentioned

For the first time in Being a DIK fan art: World premiere.
I think what the entire BaDIK community dreams of. Madame Rose suffered an accident during a trip to Florida.

Thanks to Night Hacker for the props list

LMAO, I was wondering what you would come up with.

Have another scene where one of the elderly ladies from the old age home (the alternate choice) pushed her in.

 

[Pillock]

thank you so much

One thing to keep an eye on, mine are both installed in program files. If you intend on keeping them both. Rename DAZStudio4 to DAZStudio422 before installing 4.16. Then once it's installed rename it to DAZStudio416 (change the path in the shortcuts too) And rename the DAZStudio422 back to Dazstudio4, so that it continues to update and your 4.16 install remains untouched.


That's how I've done, there may be a neater cleaner way of doing it, but it works for me.

You have the tattoos, BUT... are they PNG images, or JPGs? If they're tattoos which are overlays, than they should probably be PNGs. But check the filename extension (which I notice you have turned off) and make certain it matches. It is looking for JPGs, but you may have PNGs, which would still show up in your fold like this.

You may need to edit the original file which applies these, it is a text file so that it loads .png's instead of .jpg's. If you can find the line in it, you just need to edit and resave it.

Yeah, I certainly like this hair style much more than the basic one. Thanks again, Valarcho! Though I do have problems with depth of field, doesn't seem to work like I intend it to.

Congratulations for good work. You did well with the light which is the most important for a quality render. For the depth of field technique or so called bokeh effect I will try to give some simple tips without claiming a high professional level. Things are very close to photography and if you shot with a DSLR camera in DAZ the same rules apply.


1. I made a simple scheme. The object you want to be in focus and attract the viewer's eye is placed in the focus 'box' ---> Start - End. Anything outside of it will not be in focus and will be slightly blurred-bokeffect. Exactly how blurry objects will be depends on the f/stop option. Usually values 22/44 or 66 are sufficient. Here the rule of experimenting and seeing the result applies.
2. It is important that the background of the scene is at least 1.5-2 meters away from the model. This will give you a nice blurred background.



3. If you want to focus on any part of the model a lot and affect the viewer you need to lower the focus 'box' ---> Start - End extremely


4. There is a lot of information on the net and the technique is not very complicated. But always play with your sliders and fool around with a side camera how to resize the focus 'box'. Quite often when moving the camera and adjusting the focus, you get a shift and things don't work as you expect. Here are some useful videos:

Thanks a lot, man. I do understand how it works, it's just that I would have liked to be able to influence the intensity of the out of focus blur. I guess I can just do it in photoshop within a couple minutes, but still. Something like that:

It depends on your personal preferences and the skills you have. I personally haven't worked much with Photoshop and rely mainly on the output from DAZ and slight color adjustments with GIMP. I guess you can add a lot of elements with Photoshop to make the picture unique (I think people with really very good images use additional processing)

For the blurred background I only use DAZ. It's all a matter of playing with the settings and experimenting:

f/stop - 22

Result:


f /stop 6:

Result:


You can get even more blur with an f/stop value of 4 , 2 or even 1.8. So, keep experimenting

Great tips. I generally go to the camera display options and set the first five sliders to max and that makes the lines for the camera view box MUCH easier to see.

If you're creating a visual novel and you want the focus to change from one character in the foreground to, say, one in the background, a neat effect is to do a render with the focus on one, then do another render with the focus on the background character, then in RenPY you can switch from one image to the other with a "dissolve" and it will appear to smoothly change focus which is a kewl effect and really puts the depth of field to good use.

Btw, I could use some Bella morph instructions. The one posted here prior seems somewhat off. I have also searched half of Daz Store looking for that hair. I need it... I have a little 'photoshoot' in mind, which she absolutely needs to be a part of.

If you use the Isabella (alternative) instructions on this page you'll be pretty much spot on.
