3D-Daz Daz3d Art - Show Us Your DazSkill

[Evil13]

Firstly, thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Protagonists, so we're supposed to cheer for them - is sinister the way to go, then?

Is the secondary protag supposed to be military? Her hair is totally not regulation.

To answer your above questions, the male protagonist would have been forced to work for an organisation that did have good intentions, but chose to do things in a secretive manner, i.e. kill people who need killing. And he had to work for them because it was better than the alternative of a bullet to the head.

As for the hair of the female protagonist, she would have been a junior engineering officer on a civilian medical ship, so not military.

Again, thanks.

So I decided to make another custom character. One that hopefully won't see me end in jail. !!! Was totally not thinking. I keep downloading stuff, and then playing around with it. Everything is new. Lesson learned, and I'm grateful it was on here and not in a room full of my peers!! ha ha ha.... Meet Dani!!!

I suggest not buying a new pc for $600. The point is if you buy a weak PC you will regret it later. Just like Empiric said, it's better to learn more. Fenella works on CPU and does great renders. You can do it too. Keep experimenting for a while. Try 3delight render. Or render in Interactive mode. Render Environment separately then Models. Try heavy post-work and a good amount of denoiser. There is struggle this way but if you spend $600 now for a very mediocre pc, you will regret it really bad later and nobody can tell how good that $600 will be compared to what you have. it's risky.

My wild guess on the price range for a decent rig is 1.5k-4k USD. I am drooling at the idea of RTX 3080(Dreaming) and Unreal engine 5. Just a personal take.

I kinda understood like half of what you wrote. I'm kind of computer illiterate. I just know how to pose models and hit render. I just want it to work and not be slow when I move the camera or slow everything down when I move from Texture shaded to N-Iray. 1-2 Models and I'm fine,3+ and it just "Not Responding".

If your only goal is to make games then another idea is to learn drawing. 3 years ago I read a couple of books on anatomy and anime drawing and the results weren't bad. 2d Games are also somewhat in demand here. Summertime Saga is at top right now.

well, I guess I have an excuse to show my art here. hohoho.

I know Daz Thread. Make an exception and it's only to make a point.

Edit: Damn I opened the link and that $700 PC looks good.

Im not interested in 2d art. I want to learn 3d art so I can eventually go to school for Animation. One day when I'm 60yrs old I want to be avengers level good.

I want to be doing THIS Level of awesome work one day. I just don't know how.

 

[ArturiousDesign]

What do you guys think of this? These each took 30-45mins to render to 100%. I think they look Meh.

I just set up the models and Rendered with Denioser on.

Not a bad start, honestly would look into this post here https://f95zone.to/threads/three-point-light-setup-for-better-lighting.47641/

First time I looked through the post I overlooked the height and width setting of spotlights and regret that now. it can change the images dramatically (softer shadows), some examples:

Spoiler: 10.00 for both width and Height (How I was rendering)

Spoiler: 150.00 Width and Height

Definitely learned something new today, and hopefully tomorrows renders end up even better now.
Edit: also this for creating some fresh faces https://f95zone.to/threads/daz-studio-tutorials-tips.21586/#post-1342078

This one is mostly straight out of Daz. 3000 iterations with denoiser kicking in at 2000. Took around 3 hours. I probably could have stopped it sooner but I was pre-occupied so I let it cook. I did a little post on this to scale it down from 4K and to make the jewelry and fireplace pop a little more.

Hello guys, I'm training in posing multiple characters for a scene, any advices ?

A very nice character and impressive art. If only I had the money for it I could have used it in-game. Where are the tails from?

The cat one is from the catgirl pack and the black one is actually free one you can grab it here:

I have that black tail but I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Posing wasn't working at all. The tail was straight and morphs didn't move it. The universal tool couldn't move it either. How to use it?

Easy. Load the tail, right click it, select parent to, parent it to character's hip. Then you might wanna set in the "style and poses" of the tail to preview render on so you can see it and you can pose it however you want.

I´m a catsperson....BUT...I go for the wolf. woof.

Ye, the tail just makes you wanna cuddle

 

[Empiric]

I had a brilliant idea. If I remove hair from wolf tail then it becomes cat tail. XD
I just lack cat/wolf ears now.

Until then it's a monkey

You can use as wallpaper. Made because I’m tired of the old wallpaper.
P.S. The number of iterations doesn't always affect the rendering time, but their large number usually always indicates some technical difficulties (or problems) in the scene.

 

[DoctorPervic]

maybe for 3-4 characters?
I want to eventually do things like:

Idk WHAT this guy's rig is but I'm sure he can time travel with it!!!

I tried something like the first image with all the characters on the couch. My computer gave me the Finger and said FUCK YOU!!!!

You can very well avoid this if you optimize character textures )

On fingers:
a standard set of character textures takes ~2-4 gigabytes (4k) and the computer shows the middle finger with 5 characters, but for such a render in FullHD it is enough to reduce the textures to 0.5k and 5 characters can easily fit where there used to be one.

~500 MB optimized textures (0.5-1k), ~1000 iterations in FullHD (99% quality) and... ~1 minute render time on RTX 2060Super (also true for 4k render).
By the way, with a limited budget I recommend this video card instead of buying 1080, 2060S faster.

Always wanted to do a game or comic based on a Lara maybe more like Clara Ravens type of character, anyway here is a WIP look at my version of it. Comments/critiques/suggestions etc are welcome. Stopped render at around 20%.
