Basically, I'm looking to create hair, character morphs, and clothing. I don't care if they cost money, but essentially, I want to be in a position where there will be no character or armor set I won't be able to construct. Do you guys know where I could find such tutorials?

I have been buying assets for a while now, but they are getting expensive and, as someone who also does 2D art professionally, I typically have to compramise my vision to fit these assets. I need to learn how to create my own hair, clothing, and how to create my own character morphs, which afterwords, I will be completely set!

Thank you all for any information you are of the capability to provide!

    After I started applying Daz to my 2D art eventually I also wanted to create my own assets. In learning to do so I have essentially become a professional 3D artist. There are no shortcuts. If you want to create Daz3d level assets you need to become a 3D professional because that's what Daz basically is: a user-friendly way of using pro 3D assets for people with no technical experience of 3D.

    Here is the current requirements needed for you to be able to create such assets:

    - learn polygon-based modelling: see Modo, 3dsmax, Maya, Blender. I recommend Modo.

    - learn voxel-based modelling: see ZBrush, 3D-Coat, MudBox. I recommend ZBrush.

    - learn Marvelous Designer. It's the industry standard for making clothes. A lot of assets in the Daz store are created with this.

    - learn the fundamentals of baking maps, materials, texturing, etc. This step you can skip depending on how you want to use the assets in your 2D artwork. For texturing I recommend Substance Painter.

    YouTube is full of resources for learning these programs.
