I know this isnt quite meant to be asked here, but the search by file function of my daz is not working and a lot of my stuff isnt in the db with metadata. What can i do?

Hi,



Besides the Fit Control product that DitaVonTease suggested earlier, you can try adding a smoothing modifier to the clothes with your figure as the collision item.

Few other things to try in case neither of those mentioned earlier works are:

Check if the clothes have stock morphs that might help you fit them better on those pointed nipples.

Add a push modifier to the clothes and adjust its value high enough so that the pokethrough is no more.

Use the mesh grabber plugin on the clothes to fix the issue.
I did use Fit Control, which is usually excellent at sorting such things out. I need to learn about push mods more. I did install mesh grabber but am yet to be able to access it correctly.

This is how I usually light my Main Person, or Persons if I have several in a dark scene... The 3 light rig is from , plus I use the 'utilities' in that set, there's an HDRI as well. View attachment 4036231

I always turn the 'Visible in Viewport' OFF, Set 'Render Priority' to Highest, turn on 'Display Persistance', Shadows to 'Raytraced'

That way you can see your image, without the mess in the way...

Here's a couple showing where to find those bits...

The finished version should look something like this.... I nearly forgot, under 'Camera Settings' to turn OFF the Headlight, but you could use that as your 'Camera Flash' with some lower brightness lights in the background... PS try Fit Control, re-Nipple poke...

Thanks for the tips and the useful link!
Can you tell me what 'Render Priority' and 'Display Persistance' do exactly ?

Well, Render Priority, makes those lights picked the proper settings, rather than background lights drowning them out, as for 'Display Persistance', I'm not sure, but I do know the lighting doesn't come out as I want it....

Ok so I know these arent technically impressive per se, but listen - I'm reliving teenage fantasies here so - hope some of you other feet/legs/hosiery pervs will appreciate.

On that note - live from the Coco Bongo Club......

My very first try with a (potato laptop) how it's guys
Hi there! that's quite a good first try, and even more impressive if you did this on a potato laptop. Now even though you've got a underperforming machine doesn't preclude you to make renders. Where you may encounter problems is if you tried to fill the scene with more subjects, props and environments. Filling the scene with stuff is going to probably require more memory and computing power than what your machine can dish out. But hey, if you want to do pinups on blank or very basic background I don't see why you couldn't continue to practice. Eh, it's a good thing in a sense, now you can fiddle around with it a bit and if you don't want to pursue the hobby, it didn't cost ya an arm and a leg to buy a decent rendering computer. If you like it, you can start buying parts yourself later on to build one.

All that being said, happy to see a new artist in here and happy rendering my friend!
