Learn how to properly adjust Genesis, and learn some half-decent post work/digital painting techniques, then sky’s the limit

Yeah, how can people do that without a well written manual or very poor video tutorial section?
that’s where the first problem start…
all what’s left for many is try’ll and error and lot’s of frustration.
at that last part, people just leave and go on with other things in life.
and never look back.

Unfortunately, this isn’t where a DAZ manual comes in. You’ll need an external modeling tool to adjust the mesh you can’t do the adjusting in DS4.

why not?
daz can explain these secrets to it’s customers with well done video tutorials to.

that’s no answer for me.

I plan on releasing a morph set that tackles all these issues. Here is a example of one of the morphs I made in action. Left is default V5 and on the right is V5 with one of the bend morphs applied. First thing I re-did when I started using Genesis was this area, since I wasn’t that impressed with what happens when the figure is bent over. Where the hell do you add a nudity tag?

can’t wait for that fix Zev

What, you want a fix that puts tiny black dots over the naughty bits?  You can do that in Photoshop!

BlumBlumShub’s avatar reminds me that we probably should ask Emperor Ken if he has plans for Argentine Lake Duck and its 100% Anatomical Correctness…

Well, unfortunately being blunt, the big difference between being content providers and consumers. You didn’t bother finding out. DAZ Studio isn’t a full featured character creation application, but it offers a plug in to Zbrush. What does zbrush do? Character creation. So where should you start finding info about that? ZBRUSH. Then you find a wealth of information on building characters. All you need to do is either GoZ it back, or use Morph Loader Pro.  DS also loads in obj files… what app exports objs? Most of them. So learning those app to create your content is where you start. That’s why DAZ isn’t going to be much help because there’s so many ways to get there. You need to learn one whether it’s 3DS Max, Blender, etc.

de·sen·si·tize (d-sns-tz)
tr.v. de·sen·si·tized, de·sen·si·tiz·ing, de·sen·si·tiz·es
1. To render insensitive or less sensitive.
2. Immunology To make (an individual) nonreactive or insensitive to an antigen.
3. To make emotionally insensitive or unresponsive, as by long exposure or repeated shocks: “This movie in effect may resensitize people who thought they were desensitized to violence” (Steven Spielberg).
4. To make (a photographic film or substance) less sensitive to light.

Still think all those rape renders and scenes depicting the brutalization of women are OK?

Indulging in a fantasy just make some people want to live the reality more.
Do you honestly think some one that spends hours looking at scenes depicting the brutalization of women doesn’t fantasies about really doing it? And after they have spent some time indulging in their fantasy, want even more to make it a reality?
Blow this off if you want, but there have been many clinical studies that show this is true.

Now I am not exposed to poser porn much, I certainly don’t go looking for it, but I do see it popup in various galleries. In many what I see would be illegal in many countries, and if were real is illegal in all countries; well the civilized ones anyway. Now I could say what type of porn it is but that get the mods a bit anxious and probably get my post deleted. But that is the type of poser porn I see most often in galleries; hosted out side the US and UK. There is a Russian photo gallery I visit to steel background pics; there are a few people that post some nice wide angle hidef nature scenes, Most of the poser renders; not just porn are of this type.

Think about that while requesting more realistic naughty bits, because that is where they will end up being used.

I think that all civilized countries should ban books and video games. Especially LOTR and LOTRO. These works depict violence and will allow wierdos to act out their violent needs in a fantasy way and desensitize them to real world violence.

People really are looking for realism in their porn.

Not me!

Realism is for people who can’t handle Fantasy-ism.

me neither. 
it’s annoying when i’m searching for warcraft hentai and the search engine throws live images at me.

Saurumon did say to bring the Hobbits unspoiled!

I must admit I am rather surprised, and impressed, that this thread has not degenerated into, back of the class tittering, or burn them at the stake mobbery, indeed we seem to be having a rather interesting and ‘adult’ conversation.

Oh Man Stan, you could not be more wrong…there IS a growing CG porn industry.

As the models and textures become more realistic, and as production skills and lighting methods also become more realistic and professional, so the demand and interest in CG ‘erotica’ is growing.

I am going to break cover here and admit that I am a producer of such CG based ‘Erotica’/ Images / comics etc.

I have been producing for over four years, and year on year, I have seen sales growth in the region of 20%. Indeed last year I turned over $27,000 dollars, and I only do this part time, as a side line, and I have literally turned down $1000’s in commission requests in the past, as I just don’t have the time to fullfill them.

But I agree that this is something that DAZ should not be involved in or even acknowledge, per say, there are other ‘specialist’ sites and artists, who should be able to produce the ‘specialist bits’ that individuals such as myself may require for their models.

Cheers,

S.K.

yoo making money on renders?

i’m giving up on my cute renders making money on zazzle.

And this sort of flippant attitude is why nothing is ever done about it.  So I take it you endorse that sort of porn?

I don’t care how you take it frankly. The important thing to understand is that your logic is the same logic they use to try and ban video games and music.

You would need to advertise heavily to get any traffic on zazzle. Depending on your artwork there may be other places better suited. But even then you need to have a captive audience unless you are being commissioned.

What logic, it is a proven fact. Just because you chose not to believe it doesn’t make it any less of a fact. As I said there have been dozens of clinical studies that prove it.
