It's been roughly about ten years since I last used DAZ to do some renders (back then I've used Michael 4 and Victoria 4, and then it slowly started to switch to Genesis -- and I'm not talking about Genesis 3, 8 or 9!), but looking at those awesome pictures you guys posted I felt compelled to install DAZ again and give it another go! Thanks for all the details about how to recreate them characters of "Lust Theory" (aka "Echos of Lust"), a game I very much like.
My first try is a very basic "quick 'n dirty" attempt to render Megan, Ellie and Amy -- no special setup, no special lightning involved, no post work, using default backgrounds. The most advanced I did was adding some DFormers to create those "bumps" Megan's and Amy's butts are creating on the sofa
. So pretty much just a "default" render with built-in default HDR backgrounds and settings.
Looking at those characters, I'd say they're recognizable, but still seems a bit "off", although I can't tell exactly what's wrong. I haven't used the "Grown Up" morphs because I felt like it's making them worse, but if you guys have any advice on how I could improve those characters, any input would be highly appreciated.
I'm trying to get back into DAZ, and I already know I have a lot to learn again about how things work and such. For my first render I pretty happy though. Now I "just" need more clothes, environments, backgrounds etc. ... And then learn again on how to setup a decend lightning and such.
Enjoy, any feedback is very welcome!
