I need some help. I have been developing characters for a story and I am trying to decide which of these 5 is the best choice for the MC. They are all built on the same shape but with different skins giving each a little uniqueness. If you are up to, just hit me up with which you think is best. Opinions are also welcome.
I'd suggest making a few more characters, and then render them together in small groups, to decide what skins match best together under a couple of different light conditions. It isn't always obvious right away, but sometimes, placing two characters together emphasizes that one has a very bland or under-detailed skin. Or that one skin makes a character look slightly cartoony, which may not be visible at first, but becomes apparent when placed next to a different character.

Differences in SSS also become way more noticable when you put different characters together. Usually you'll tweak the light to match the skin of a character (as well as Daz Studio doing that automatically to a small degree), but when you put multiple characters together, that isn't always possible without messing up the skin of other characters.

Middle have best skin, it makes his face stand out, the others a lot less.
And yes for me the choice of a skin is done on the face the rest is customizable especially on G8F.

For quite a while now :LOL: October?
Yeah, it's just that she recently(in October she was in beta) went from beta to public, bugs are still there but well...
The only thing they've fixed is the mouse bug when you've got the slide-a-dsf to a second screen(cursor hide), the rest...

Aliasing not resolved (not present on 4.10, update iray pff)

You'll be fine. My first attempt was less than 2 weeks ago, and I was very hesitant to post anything here. I'm still way behind the skills of many of the people here, but getting better 'cos I learn new things about the Daz Studio every day. So will you. But be prepared...it's like the answer to the old question, "How do you eat an elephant?". Answer..."One bite at a time". Initially DAZ seemed overwhelming to me. It's a HUGE elephant of options, settings, etc. Take it one bite at a time and you'll be making great renders before you know it.

Hint: Open the Environment tab, select the "background" option, then mouse-click on the "color bar" that has the 3 numerical settings on it. It will bring up a new pop-up window where you can change the default "transparency background color" from the white in your render to any color you want without needing to know the numbers for the color (use you mouse to point somewhere in the color grid, or drag the "slider" up/down on the right side of it). I accidentally found that method 4 days after starting to use Daz. It gets rid of that eye-scorching all white background and can use something easier on the viewer's eyes like a dark grey one. It also makes the model stand out better color and lighting-wise, etc.
I agree...you need to experience all the time with daz to find what you like most... And never compare your renders with other ones, every person has his own fantasy and his own skills just do it with passion ;)

4.12.0.86 / September 24, 2019; 4 months ago

The full was released 4 months ago.. other betas have been released after that.. I know one beta it's really buggy but 4.12.0.86 stable (full) works fine, have it since then and no major bugs
There's no other update since then on the stable/full version.

Oh, okay, if your source is Wikipedia, we're not in trouble.
IF wiki said right : They passed the 4.12.0.86 BETA(displayed 4.12.0.40 source daz.com), in 4.12 there's no more bugs ok, why not.

4.12.1.40 (November 25, 2019)

So we agree, in terms of dates... 4.12.1.55(January 20, 2020) and 4.12.0.86 (September 24, 2019) Back to the future.
So if it wasn't a beta, why keep releasing 4.12.xx builds?
In addition the 4.12.0.86 had the bug of the mouse and on the dim version there is no more bug. Anyway, as long as they don't fix the aliasing nvidia or daz the rest of the crap.
And in January there was no public version, when the 4.1.12.55 came out... (At least at my place it wasn't visible just a beta version)

Like some skyrim girl with dual-wielding Nord swords!
"Hi, my name is Rosie. I'm cute as fuck, like to sing and dance, can fight and gonna like cut you the fuck up into pieces if you don't give me back my sweetroll!"
Haha! Yeah, modded Skyrim is still pretty awesome even for a game from 2013, that's why I made 6 Skyrim mods... ;).

The character in the render is actually from a game that I'm working on. Her name is Valindra and she's a badass River-Elf Squad Captain who can single handedly take on a dozen Orcs at a time.
