Must-have assets as a beginner?

[jczs97]

As the question says, if i wanna start practicing on Daz, what assets do i absolutely need or should start with? I tried using some i found interesting but kept getting errors because i didnt have base requirement assets and couldnt do anything.

Thanks!

, won't say it 100% great far from that, I've seen horror (hard baked shadow), but most of the time good base to start with.

Look at this thread at daz forum. I do not agree with all, but the list is very complete and most remarks and the discussion are interesting.

Many chars are based on morphs of Victoria8 and Michael8. If you dont have them, this may explain your errors. Having these chars is strongly advised. Also if a char mentions a requirement in its name, say "Julia for Sorina 8", you will have errors and incorrect morphs on Julia if you do not have the base char (Sorina8).

For assets other than char, there is not really a "must have". But beware that some assets are just textures and cannot be used without the item they are texturing. This happens for many clothes and some environments. In general it is clearly stated in the asset description on daz3D.

To get more out of your character with morphs be sure to check out

. He is first person I hound when ever they release a new generation. He also a morph for clothes to make them look less "clingy" and with the right manipulation can make it look like your character are undress.
