It may sound strange, but I would like to see someone create a set of props of Polyhedral Dice. These are the multifaceted diced used in role-playing games. Considering that there a sizable number of gamers (people who play role-playing games) and people who use rendering programs (Daz and Poser) are the same, it would be a good project for development. Especially for those artist/gamers who are also writers who need original images of dice to include in the books they are writing/selling.
If anyone has any doubts as to what Polyhedral Dice are, a quick search on a search engine will give the answer.
I know there is at least 1 free product out there (no numbers on them and they do not look that realistic), but I feel there is a niche for a least one vender to sell these as a product.
EDIT: I see that you have seen this set, just ignore this post.
Sorry, but yes, that the the set I was referring to. I would not even know where to start when it comes to adding a texture to a mesh. I am a complete novice in this respect.
You mentioned others for Carrara. I have Carrara 5. If they would work in that I would be interested to see them. But TBH, I would seriously be prepared to pay for dice as a professionally made/sold as a prop for Daz/Poser.
Sorry, I’ve been distracted by a battle with Wyvern 2.0. (Somehow got the idea that reskinning the thing is the way to go. FYI, my attentionspan is that of a gnat. But, I haven’t forgotten this.)

You want my texturing tip? Hint it involves a origanial texture (not UVmap) and layers.
Oh, I was going to go through shader route there, with bump maps for numbers and color for those areas… I imagine it would look AWESOME with Fisty’s and Marieah’s shaders when they become available. GEMSTONE dice. Literally.

I am, btw, slowly working on it. I have all basic die shapes done, save d10, UV mapped etc, and I just have to find enough energy to get off my duff and finish ‘em.

Thank you Skiriki, I’m sure many more users will find a use for a nice set than just us three.
Agreed. With the sheer volume of images sold in a certain RPG e-book site (not to mention artwork inside books) that use Daz Studio and/or Daz models, I imagine there will be a fair few users out there.
