3D-Daz Big Brother: Art Assets

-DarkHorizon- · Aug 21, 2019

My first render.

Any thoughts, recommendations, or tips? I'm still very unfamilar with the program.
And while poses like this came fairly easy, I'm not really sure how to set up sex scenes and insertions.

Also, installing content is quite the pain if you do in in bulk. Is there really no Installer for third party Content?

You can use Daz Install Manager for assets from DAZ store
https://f95zone.to/threads/how-to-install-content-to-daz-w-w-o-install-manager.6045/

You must be registered to see the links

And for assets from other stores you can convert them in DIM archive compatibile with Content Package Assist
https://f95zone.to/threads/content-package-assist.8420/
And after that you can install them with DIM

*DIM = Daz Install Manager.

//Anyway.. it's one of the best "1st render" i've seen here.

It's a fantastic first render!

As for poses, especially sex scenes, I've pretty much given up on making my own poses and rely on pre-made pose libraries. I just don't have the time to fight with DAZ on posing.

Friends, can someone throw off their already assembled library or tell how to properly install all the content. Because I can’t understand how to correctly install everything. If possible in Russian =)

That is what I wanted to come to next. The posing took ages on this one:

I painstakingly moved every appendage separately, then had to go back and redo it several times due to clipping. Is it supposed to work like this, or i am missing something?

I also had problems setting her ass square on the bed. It's difficult to correctly guess such small distances in the program. Is there maybe a sure way to avoid clipping on objects? Like something that that prevents objects to move into each other.

You've discovered all the issues I have with posing in DAZ. There's nothing to prevent clipping. One thing that might help is to pin certain parent joints to not move so that you don't screw up the entire pose while you're only trying to adjust an arm.

Here's what I usually do:

I load the character(s) from the scene subset(s) that I have for each character.
If I'm doing a sex scene with more than one character, I create a group. I move the characters into the group.
At this point, do not move or rotate the characters individually, instead move the group that contains them, so that you move both characters together.
I find the sex pose that I want to use and apply it to each character.
If the sex pose was intended for Michael 7 / Victoria 7 etc. then I usually just change the characters' body morphs to match. Otherwise it's painstakingly tweaking things like hands and fingers so they don't clip into body parts that are bigger than M7/V7. It's the compromise I choose to make rather than spend hours adjusting things only to give up in frustration and nobody gets anything.
I load the room of the Big Brother house from the scene subset files available in the links on this thread.
I use the Align tool to stack the group onto the bed, couch, desk, table, floor, or wherever it is these people are going to be fucking on. That is, I select the object, then hold down control (command on Mac) and select the group, then go to the Align tool and select Centered on X & Z and Stack Above on Y. This usually works well and requires little or no further fine tuning, but it depends on the object (beds with their wrinkled sheets and bedposts or pillows affecting what counts as the "top" of the object tend to not work as well as floors) and the quality of the pose library. A good pose library will have the figures already flat with no clipping issues.
I rotate the group as needed.
I position the camera and frame the shot that I want
Finally I work on lighting the scene

These are very useful tips! Thank you very much.

Maybe a stupid question, but are the poses you mentioned included in the Mega folder that is in the OP? If not, could you maybe tell me where to get them.

I'm trying to get more familar with the program now and test some things out.
But one thing is for sure, I have more respect now for the people making renders and entire story scenes.

You can find poses in the Asset Releases section here on F95zone. Creators include disordercode, xameva, layla, naughtymindz, maxsmeagol, and hameleon among others. Try searching that forum for those names to find a majority of them.

the character of Eve, the doctor of max, was proposed by celtic1138 on mega https://f95zone.to/threads/big-brother-art-assets.3733/post-319813 post 370. alas I think Celtic removed it from download, because no longer available.
would one of you have it in a library or know the different characters that Eve character is made to be able to create it?
thank you in advance

Maybe this will help you (Original .obj, follow the instructions in celtic1138 post)

Thank you, I despair and started burying it, but thanks to you.

Just following up on my post in the main BB fan art thread where I was puzzling over the assets for Alex (and realized it was a discussion better had here). I saw a piece of fan art there where the artist ( ip19216811) said he couldn't get a skin for Alex. So I looked in the BB.xls from this thread that had Alex listed as FW Tobias HD for morph+skin with Short Cropped Hair for the hair.
I looked at Tobias in the store and wasn't convinced so I went back into the original image files from the core game and found
