Try the ActivePose tool (ALT+SHIFT+P). Click the key links you don't want to move and press SPACE to pin them in place, then left click the end of the chain and hold and drag slowly to move it all around. It takes some practice, and you need to do it while looking from the correct angle as it will only move left right, up and down based on your angle. I absolutely LOVE this tool now that i am used to it. Posing has been so much easier for everything.

When posing a characters hand for example, I will pin their shoulders and chest with this tool so they don't move, then grab the hand and slowly (this is key, move to fast and you can mess up) move the hand into place, changing camera angles as I go. With some practice, you will get better at it fast.

I've tried using Active Pose, but was not aware you could pin part of the chain. Thanks for the tip; I'll give it a try.

I've recently got into Daz3D... slowly learning it with hopes of making a game eventually... I have previous experience with photoshop..

I'm also attempting to make my renders look more drawn and/or unique with some post work... let me know what you think.

Is it worth the effort or should I stick with normal renders?

Looks nice, I guess if it is worth it or not is really up to you though maybe if you are new to daz try to do some 'normal' renders and see what you like? maybe as you go you may end up with something in between as you develop your style.

Though I would suggest maybe another small light or something to add a bit of shine in the eyes and depends on what you have for your light setup but the shadows seem a bit harsh for my tastes. Also, seems a little too saturated to me as well which may be related to why the guy looks like he has quite a nasty sunburn.

Depending on what the intention was for the second render the arm holding the phone seems out of place, if it is our arm in a first person perspective it is too far out and if it is meant to be a different person you could afford to open the shot more so we see a little more of them or move them to a different position in the shot.

Either way I hope this helps in a way and I look forward to seeing more of your works in the future.
