I figured out the best way to do water ripples for moving water and I found a catfish asset. IT'S NOODLING TIME! I have been putting off doing a scene with them catfishing because I couldn't find a catfish asset. I've been looking since the very beginning. Well, if ya can't find a certain asset in the official DAZ asset channels you can always go to alternative DAZ assets channels AKA 3D Hobbyists who make assets for fun and give them away for free. It's also how I found that bass boat months ago. Stay tuned... View attachment 4368374
You need a Hannah Barron cameo. ;)

An official DAZ3D grocery store vs a guy on his computer screwing around making assets as a hobby and side hustle. As an American I can't have my characters go in that dinky, Euroshit store. AMERICAN SUPER STORE ALL THE WAY!! This is the cool assets I find on my days off. It's not a perfect asset and needs a few touchups but it can become great! 1222.png 111.png

If you really want to put your mark on it, make sure that the supermarket has an isle for ammo and gun accessories.
Or at least a stink bait isle.

Too often the "store" asset used in games looks like a rebranded 7-11 rather than an actual market you'd go grocery shopping at. A proper supermarket should take up an entire city block between the building and its attached parking lot and sometimes the parking lot is bigger than the store. Heck, I think there are gas station mini-marts around me that are bigger than the usual store assets. That supermarket looks right proper and like something I might see around here.

The little one is European. A lot of Euro grocery stores are like Aldi's here in the US. You know really small compared to something we normally see here in the US. Sadly no one has made an official DAZ3D American supermarket. Not even on Renderosity or RenderHub. I had to go to a somewhat lesser known site that has homemade 3D assets. It's where I got the bass boat in this render. It too needs some touchups. There are so few small town America assets. Well unless it's a western small town. There's tons of that shit. LOL! I have to kit bash so many assets to create the assets I need. If you set your game in a city there nonstop assets for you. Also a lot of the small town non-western assets are incorrect stereotypes by folks who've never spent any real time in a small town and who base all there stuff from the media. I have to fix a lot of that. I do all this and still get updates out faster than 99% of devs. Muahahaha!!

You know, I really wish we had 7-11s here in the States, like they have in Japan and Thailand.

I've head they are switching a few of them into the Japanese versions here in the States. I think it's a test run. I heard about it a few months ago. So STAY TUNED...

And yes I do have a 7-11 asset which I do plan to use in the future. LOL!

Doc, if you set up a store and name it Acme, please make sure that it has an isle for exploding boomerangs and rocket skates.
