Here I wanted to tryout doing some reflections as well as water. Both of which were somewhat of a pain to get working, but I am pretty happy with the result. Also another iteration on my heroine!

Holy shit that is really good! I'm impressed. The posing could use a little more work though.

Totally forgot all about this thread!
Just a concept from a game I'm working on (very early days / think that yellow skin is a weird artifact from the SSS from the single light source below, or I screwed up the correction and hue adjustment [probably screwed up / should've used a mask to isolate the skin and correct that way]):
I squished her right breast too much (it was too perky) and the Dreamlight space station asset kinda sucks (texture-wise / could retexture it in SP). I'm going for mood and a more photo-realistic look (should've added a shadow under her chin in post, but it's just a quick render to help get a feel of the story world).
And, my latest insanity:

Hi, guys, I'm basically a daz n00b. If this pic looks okay, it's all my videocard, man XD
I think I over-lighted this scene. As it's a dungeon cell, the light should not be that of a sunny outside day, but whatevs for now, I'm only recently practicing with tone-mapping.
In any event, I welcome and am asking for technical tips regarding my learning of Daz. Hope you guys enjoy this picture

Pardon my double-post, but here's another... This was the first part of the above scene with only the readhead being railed and having not added the blonde and her oppressors yet.

Overall, pretty good. As you have surmised, the lighting is main problem here. This looks like an open roofed building (I suspect it is) in the middle of the day. When possible, you should try to simulate real light sources. So if I was working on this scene, I'd probably try to have one or more visible torches casting light. Then you can have simulated torch lights, with the same hue, camera side and move them around to your liking. You could also use a candle chandelier (either shown or implied) for central lighting which would catch most of these figures. The main trick here is having a flame colored light (somewhere in the yellow/orange range) to be more "authentic" to the scene.Hi, guys, I'm basically a daz n00b.

five characters in clothes with hair in a closed space with a inventory (I would have such noob a video card
)all is well, the unnatural lighting is not noticeable, noticeable scaling of doors and benches

Thanks bro!
Hah! I am the n00b, my GTX 1080ti is teh pro XD And I didn't even notice the doors and benches! Hah! Thanks for that, I'll check it out in a bit.five characters in clothes with hair in a closed space with a inventory (I would have such noob a video card
all is well, the unnatural lighting is not noticeable, noticeable scaling of doors and benches
Edit: Sunuvabich! LOL. Now I can't unsee how huge that door and bench is XD Dammit! I need to pay attention to that stuff, they look like fucking smurfs in there XD Well, at least the goblin on elf pronz is a distractor
But thanks for the head's up on that, Lexx... Good eye!Brother, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback and instruction... This sort of thing is SO valuable.
Your suspicions are correct, Sir. I did remove the roof, and in this render, I erroneously used the architectural sampler thing... Not really understanding what it was for at the time. All that did was lengthen render time in this pic. I have recently been trying to mess with tone mapping to simulate a more night-time/dark indoors type of scene. At the time of this render, I was doing okay just getting a scene well-lit. I really would like to get a torch into this/these scenes, but I'm struggling being able to create emitters that actually cast appreciable light; I think an emitter is what I'd use for that? I just can't get them to do more than give a soft glow for like a few inches; i'm flummoxed here.
But maybe I can just make a weaker spotlight or something, set it to sphere, set the temp ranges to like 1800 degrees (I think that's the range for the torch colors as you suggest?).
Back to the drawing board! And seriously, bro, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this level of input!!!
Edit: Here's an (unfortunately non-pronz) example of some of the tone-mapping to simulate darker area lights I'm talking about:
