I agree, feedback is much better as it allows one to grow as an artist.They would need two threads, one for posting renders with intent to get feedback and another with Only Renders for farming likes. I would rather have the first, as much as its nice to get likes since it furthers my drive to get better but I am not posting here for an echo chamber either.
1000000%. You have no idea how frustrating it is to put up your work and ask for criticism and you get a "like" instead. How does that help me? How does that help me improve my craft?

Good one! I would class it as a success! Do you think you could achieve the same look in Daz by tweaking the iray/render and surface settings?More work on photorealism. Pores! I’ve been frustrated with the lack of detail in character skins, so I’m adding some normal maps from other sources and really cranking them up. I think this looks a lot better than what I usually get out of Daz+Cycles—and it’s actually rendered in Eevee!

I think if you could get her eyes to stand out more it could be even better. The godray is a bit harder to see since usually you see them from the side or from afar (or maybe the black and white is messing with my eyes idk), I like it.A few experiments here. God rays and color on B&W using canvases. Too much? I can't tell anymore. I think I've been staring at it too long!

I had to blend two normal maps together, the ones that come with the model (Emmaline), and one I got fromGood one! I would class it as a success! Do you think you could achieve the same look in Daz by tweaking the iray/render and surface settings?
