Impotent update news! sep3- OK folks we have decided that DS Creatives freebies will no longer be hosted at Mediafire and are now being hosted at our own custom space, this means no popups and no buttons to click, just click the download link on the issuu page and your free gift will be with you before you know it. The free gifts from issues 1&2 have now also been moved while the text on the page still says mediafire when you click the link at Issuu your download will come from our server
DS Creative Magazine now has an official Facebook page - drop on by at https://www.facebook.com/DSCreativeMagazine to get all the current news!
to follow the project, discuss ideas, get submission info etc please visit
https://www.facebook.com/groups/dazcreative/
thank you all for the support from the Ds creative team- Camilla Drakenborg, Phil Thompson, Totte Alm, Matt Allgood, Sanyel Jackson and Bobbie25! :)
It all started with a simple idea- wouldn't it be cool to have a magazine with all about Daz?!
The day after the idea was posted our all new Ds Creative- The Magazine for Daz Studio users, was born!
But we need your submissions! And not to worry, if you feel the deadline is to soon, there will be a new issue out each month!
(all info you need is in the picture)

And a special thanks to the Daz team for their support!

Comments
I am enjoying the postwork article. Thanks!
Ummm...yeah, impotent update news indeed. I care not about your virility, so you probably meant "IMPORTANT". Sorry, couldn't resist
All kidding aside, I enjoy reading this magazine whenever I get a chance. Thanks to you and your team for your dedication.
The page seems to have exploded. I was unable to sign in with Facebook.
Great issue, and some really useful freebies this time round.
CHEERS!
Glad I discovered this a couple of months back.
I've wanted to learn how to make water ripples in Studio and your tutorial made it very easy. Thank you :)
Here's a small crappy test render I did just to see if it worked
I found that tut interesting, too. Another water deformer I'd like to see are wakes and flowing water around a solid figure, like a rock or someone's legs.
...for a "crappy test" that looks pretty darn good.
I think so to
and I do to. I think the word "good" understates it really.
curious to know if you rendered that with iray? Beautiful piece of work :)
Thank you all for the kind words :)
Yes, I did it in iray, It only took about 10 minutes from start to post.I only let it render to 100 iterations on a tranparent background (that was the crappy part, I thought it looked a bit rough around the edges)
I think Issue 15 is now my Favorite issue, it was like you made this issue with me in mind or just for me, perfect
Awesome publication. Don't know how I missed this till now. Issuu is a fantastic platform. I've used it a couple of times back before my 3D days. Daz Creative is now in my subscription stack.
Thank you for this issue, which was great. :-)
I also, for the first time, used a deformer successfully. That was one of the... "Whoa, I wasn't aware it could do that, and even more, that I can make it do that!" moments. Will there be a chance of more "lessons" on the deformer tool? Like, using it on the surface of a sofa/matrass to make it look like someone is sitting down? What if I wanted to make that drop with square ripples instead of circles?
Awesome magazine. I'll have to try the ripples soon.
This is a fabulous magazine with a wealth of information, but it will definitely become my favorite when a tutorial for creating shaders both for 3delight and iray is added to it :)
Is there any possibilitie to read about the contest and submission rules aside from the page on facebook? I really love the magazine but this facebook thing is not mine and will never be.
Anyone who share a DS releated written tutorial via DevainatArt or another way should think about to publish the tutorials also via DS creative. You'll get more users, who read it and it doesn't get lost in hundreds of new publishes at DA. Just a suggestion.
Just wanted to say many thanks for the Tutorial Card! That is a really great reference. Please keep updating it as new tutorials are added.
I really liked the post-work tutorial in Issue #15 - some very nice ideas, and the Ginger Mckee spotlight - really fun pics there :) The Small Talk wall is a cool idea, but can you change the font to something easier to read?
Also should I email one of the DS Creative staff if I had a question regarding one of the tutorials or should I try to contact the author? Specifically I wanted to ask Lucinda Atman about the last part of their cool hole-making tutorial from Issue #14 :)
I've been doing this stuff for 15 years and fully endorse (for what thats worth) this publication. Hihly advised.
You could PM her here - she's "Luci45" - try http://www.daz3d.com/forums/profile/964337/luci45
