How to get more realistic Daz Characters vs best in the world

ARealiti — Sun, 02 Jan 2022 02:18:25 +0000

Just putting out there why I think Daz Characters while they are the most fantastic widely available character assets aren't quite up to the worlds best, Death Stranding Daryl on the left is almost better than the real one on the right except I would have used more metalic shading as you can see the real one has more metalness in the skin correctly. The Daz below is pretty much what all Daz characters do and I think it is not up to the Death Stranding Daryl for only one reason, the skin pigmentation and color is too consistent in the Daz characters vs the world's best like the Death Stranding Daryl. I expect disagreement but it is what most people in the gaming and art world think. I hope the artists at Daz can take this the right way as their assets are excellent and would like them to go the best in the world level!

So I don't get it...Daz +

I got a message from Daz saying that my membership was going to re-new in about a week. That was OK. Happens every year. Use to happen every month, but then the billing on Daz's side didn't work for the monthly memberships so I switched to the yearly.

So just now I get an email from Daz saying that my membership is about to expire and they don't want to see me go and that they are offering me a Last Chance discount to stick around for another year.

Say what?

I thought this thing automatically renewed...unless I cancelled. I just went into my account and it clearly says RECURRING. Doesn't that mean that it's going to auto renew? Or is this going to be a re-occurance of last year, where the re-bill doesn't work because DAZ never submit the payment request to my credit card?

I'll do the deal...I guess. I just don't want to do a manual renewal and then have them also charge me for the RECURRING option that is checked.

DS-targeted Photography Tutorial

mikethe3dguy — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 07:00:29 +0000

I'm not a photographer, by profession or hobby. The more I get involved in Daz Studio the more I'm convinced that this is my greatest obstacle to creating compelling renders. I just recently played around with some of the sliders I've avoided touching in the Iray Tone Mapping render tab and was surprised at the results. Reading the descriptions of the effects of these controls has some benefit, but however I approach it, without understanding the theory and heuristics actual photographers use when setting up a shot, it would take me a great deal of time to have any grasp on how to set them properly. I think there also are some important differences between how a physical camera works, and the DS controls.

Does anyone know of any tutorials on Daz Studio Iray camera and render settings, written by a capable photographer? I think that would be incredibly helpful.

Barring that, if any photographers in the crowd can just steer me toward a good primer on the relevant technical elements of photography, I'd appreciate it!

pmd loader by esemwy

manekiNeko — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 16:23:51 +0000

today a cool freebie morph for the hw tiger was posted on rendo's forum: sabertooth canines. but it's a pmd, and the morph doesn't show in the dials, even after i apply the pz2 pose. but i remembered i had "something" to make pmd useable for us DS users, and found a script by esemwy, pmd loader. i think i used it a few times with success - it's been a while.

anyways, it didn't work, i get an err msg, look at log etc.

maybe the script is too old for my ds 4.11? no clue - and i don't remember where i got the freebie pmd loader from. so i can't join the author. any ideas?

EDIT: it seems that this sabertooth morph doesn't work without the tiger, i.e. not with the big cat alone, unlike what i thought (that it just would look terrible without the tiger morph but still kinda halfways work). ah, and i don't have the tiger morph yet, it's wishlisted...

so, 99% chance that this is the issue, since esemy's script is pretty recent... my bad

How are the genre tags in the store assigned, and by whom?

watchdog79 — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 08:27:24 +0000

I wonder about the process of tag being assigned ot products in the store.

Example: https://www.daz3d.com/victorian-public-toilets

This products apparently has neither the "Historical" nor "Steampunk/Victorian" tags. I only stumbled upon it due to the current sale of ForbiddenWhispers' products. Even there it does not appear under those two genre tags.

Would anyone know how are the tags assigned and by whom, please?

Help A Blindy With His Hair

VIArts — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 02:24:21 +0000

I really am visually challenged. I'm also kinda hairing impaired.

So, help this dude out with his hair!

So..I've got a situation where i know i might need 3 different hairs for one G3/8F character.

She's a law enforcement type, so she'd have a ponytail. I'm thinking with a few loose strands or a fringe. i like the Stalker Girl Hair style for this but it's kinda old now. is there a newer, similar one?

Assume i use that for calm scenes. But when she goes into action, her hair/ponytail will get a little messy I'd maybe switch the above hair with Leony Wet and Dry Ponytail Hair, but it doesn't really match.

And then when her hair is down/undone? i dunno.

Any suggestions?

anyone recognise the hair in this Daz product?

Drekkan — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 03:39:00 +0000

In the main picture of her in the study environment does anyone know where to find this hair please.

What Happened to my assets? I have SOME but not all?

ItsCeo — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 20:09:55 +0000

So I just let DIM update my Daz to 4.16 pro. I opened Daz, a new opening pic - nice. But... only some stuff is there! I go under Default>Figures>People - and there's no men, only women?! There's TONS of women but not even Gen 8 Male or Gen 3 M. There are no animals either. Where did this stuff go and why did a Daz update do this? I have a deadline for Monday and can't use the tool. Please help.

Is it allowed to mention, link other sites here?

cgidesign — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 02:06:48 +0000

Sometimes a discussion is related to other content selling sites. Is it allowed to post links here to those sites or specific products sold there?

Any advice?

Can anyone Identify the pose?

Pitmatic — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 11:27:05 +0000

I created a scene last year (pictured) that i thought i would reuse the pose from and to my horror I had lost the scene file now i know I used a pose set to create it but for the life of me i cant figure out which one (I might have a pose set addiction lol).

Anyway if anyone knows it would be appreciated I rember the promo for Aguja using the same arm pose.

is it normal for daz to use up most of my memory?

Upirium — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 06:08:46 +0000

I'm rendering rn and my memory is like 92% used. albiet i have some other stuff open. i have 32gb of RAM (i'm at max capacity without changing my whole motherboard)

if it does use so much memory what kind of gpu do you need to be able to render? I think I'm looking at 3060 with 12gb of RAM. I don't think I'm going to get any higher than that...

Looking for poses of people eating et cetera

Hera — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:54:04 +0000

Hello!

I'm looking for poses of people (can be any character, and gender)
* Writing / drawing using a pen on paper (perhaps with a pen tool)
* Writing / drawing on a horizontal area (whiteboard, easel etc)
* Eating with fork and knife
* Eating with chopsticks
* Tying shoelaces (I've seen that but I cannot find it anymore)
* Brushing teeth (including face morps but not nessesary)
* Men who shave using a razor or a knife

I also wonder if there are some 'half-dressed' poses and clothes to be found somewhere, like in somebody putting on / taking off a sweater, pants etc

Filament missing in recent public beta

Tugpsx — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 16:32:15 +0000

I updated to Studio 14.16.1.21 yesterday only to find that the Filament PBR is grayed out in the viewport options.

Adding specific Filament presets does not return the option. Curious if anyone else having the same issue. Filament worked fine on previous version.

Out of curiosity - why ghost lights and not DS lights with render emitter = off

cgidesign — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 03:02:30 +0000

I am often using the build in DS lights (point, flood etc.) with adjusted physical dimensions and then set "render emitter" = off to hide them from the camera. For me that gives all the desired results. But in the forum a lot of users talk about ghost lights. Is there something that can be achieved with them but not with the build in ones?

f/stop / focal distance

Moogoo — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 01:23:57 +0000

So i set the f/stop with what ever I want to be crystal clear in it and things outside are blurry, simple enough.

My question is without changing the f/stop is there a way to increase the drop off to blury so like changing the scale factor so it drops off more blurry faster?

thanks

Most Spectacular Teeth and Tongue and Inner Mouth ?

Fauvist — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 01:03:30 +0000

In your opinion, which character, figure, or product has the best looking TEXTURE/SHADERS for Genesis 3/8 teeth, tongue, gums, and inner mouth - for Iray. When I was using 3Delight I had this product called Exciting Mouth - that I used all the time. (I don't need new teeth or tongue models - just great textures/shaders.)

Thanks!

The saga of lost figures once again rears it's ugly head. Can't Find Centaur 8 Female

jukingeo — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 21:00:42 +0000

Hello all,

As the subject says, I once again wanted to create a character and looked it up in both the Smart Content and Content Library and it is not there. Specifically in question is this:

https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-centaur

I know I bought it, and it says so on the website. I have tried to uninstall it and then reinstall it (using DIM). I have tried to do the later and rebooted my machine after the uninstall and then the subsequent reinstall. Nothing, it isn't coming back. This is something that has happened before and it has me wondering why. I have a large content library and don't often remember fully what I have. So I have not created a female centaur in a while and wanted to do so. So I was dismayed to find that the Genesis 8 MALE centaur shows up both in Smart Content and in the Content Library.

Any reason as to why this happens, and more important, how can I get it back?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Geo

3D Anaglyphs (Red/Blue Glasses)

algovincian — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 13:00:51 +0000

Just saw a post asking where to buy red/blue glasses, and it reminded me of a few past tests that I've done creating my own 3D anaglyphs. Is anybody else doing this? If so, please post your 3D anaglyphs so we can all check 'em out!

It doesn't matter what software you're using - it's all good. So whip out your glasses and let's get some images going, and better yet, share a little info on workflow.

To kick things off, here's one I made a couple of years ago:

I know there's a ton of software out there to do this, but in this case, I just used Photoshop (CS2) to create the final image from two different views of the scene rendered using my NPR algorithms. I created a template (PSD file) for this to make things easy and uploaded it here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Z-6s6oOHFFSnVodDBOajJRcG8/view?usp=sharing

Hopefully, it's self-explanatory, but if anybody has any questions I'd be more than happy to try to answer them. Truth be told, I didn't spend all that much time on this, and I'd probably change the camera position for the left/right views if I did it over again. Still think it came out pretty cool, though, and making the anaglyphs out of the left/right views was really easy.

Help finding a product with urban apartment with openable window

holden_attradies — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 13:39:55 +0000

Hey all, hoping someone can point me to a product I need for project. I need an urban living space with a window that opens so someone floating/flying outside can talk to/interact with someone inside. Products like Urban Sprawl 3 or New York Tenements have the right kind of buildings but as far as I can tell none have windows that actually open. I really only need a closeup, so even if it was just a single window with the wall around it. Anyone have an suggestions?
