3D-Daz Daz3d Art - Show Us Your DazSkill

[Night Hacker]

Subdivisions in DAZ work just like in any other 3D suite really and adds no additional detail to the model unless you are using a PA's or DAZ HD morph OR are using a displacement map. Ofc by subdiv you smooth out any obj as curves will now be less jaggy and so on (more points). As you said though, be careful with going high subdiv as it becomes extremely GPU expensive quickly.
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the info. Done a lot of experiments today. Done the same render five times with different settings and then compared the results.

Oh, and nice render, well done!

Does anyone know how to paint on a Texture map? I don't know how to paint on it while it's flat

Select the character, then select the SURFACES TAB, then browse for the correct location for that texture and you click to change it, it will bring up a file explorer where you simply select your texture to replace it with.

Yoga Hip Opener Series - Eka Pada Rajakapotasana - Royal Pigeon variation.
There was no way that I could get my leg into this position because my bone structure in the hip prevented that much external rotation. This is also the first time I used Bend Control, which I will likely use a lot more.

Seems Helen and Cass got new lingerie and wanted to take a little selfie to celebrate it.
Only small bit of post-work done on this one, I'll attach the raw render too so you can compare. Only thing I did to the raw was reduce resolution a touch to lower the file size.

no. I mean actually painting on the texture map in 3d. But I already figured it out. you use Substance painter.

You can also project images onto a surface in DAZ. I did this one up quickly just for fun... (it isn't perfect as I just did it quickly for fun a while back)...

We have to be concerned about UV seamlines when painting in flat 2D, UV Map. However, I employ both approaches.

I'm not sure about Substance painter licensing and pricing, but I have used Blender to fix some textures for G8.1, it was few months ago, so I don't recall exact details, but AFAIR I exported the figure to Blender with materials included, opened it up there, switched to Texture painting and fixed whatever I needed there (afair I blended some poorly done seams on a figure), saved the particular texture as a new jpeg and then edited the surface in Daz to use the new texture

I know Substance painter has a lot more to offer, but maybe a free tool works for him

Blender is still free, and featurewise is growing at a very rapid rate, and since the 2.7ish days, the UI has been improved a lot also, I'm a "Sunday" Blender user still, but few tutorials I see on YT make me want to spend more time in it, if only there were 5-10 extra hours in a day...
