Hello there,
I'm a total newbie of this "NFT" stuff !
I only know that you can apparently sell "pictures" (your renders) of the stuff that you have bought on the store on NFT (like the site opensea I presume ?)
I would like to do so but I'm totally lost of how I can achieve this.
For example, I would like to sell 1000 pieces/nft of the same image (as it is "digital", it should be only some clicks to do ?) how can I achieve that ?
Does it cost something at the beginning ?
Are there people there who can help me out starting my carreer in NFT by using daz3D renders ?
I'm open to any feedback or links that can help me out in that process.
Thank you

Moved to the NFT forum as it is not a Daz Studio topic.
An NFT is usually a link, so post your image (ideally somewhere that the URL will not chnage) and use the link as input for an NFT. Making an NFT directly from the image data would be extremely costly, if it was even practical at all.
This depends. With Opensea, you can upload the public image to them and it doesn't cost to do so. If you're happey with the public image being what's offerred, then there is no cost to upload and you don't have to host it somewhere else. If you upload a low-res image for the public facing image and made the high-res image available only after someone buys the NFT, then yes, you would have to host that image somewhere else and put the link in the hidden content.
And I'll apologize now if this comes across as an ad for Opensea, but it's the site I use to create, so it's what I'm familiar with. Wtih Opensea, you set up your "collection" first, then create the NFT that goes in the collection. The forms are pretty straight-forward, but you don't have to fill out everything - you don't need to select "traits" or "levels" if you don't want.
Fees are a little more complicated. Opensea used to charge a one-time fee to creators when creating their first NFT, but recently they did away with that and now charge a one-time fee to sellers the first time they list each collection. Every transfer of your NFT wil incur a gas fee, the cost to record your transaction on the blockchain. Different networks have different fees, so when creating the collection, choose the network you wnat to mint on carefully. Etherium is the one with all the expensive gas fees. You could pay anywhere from a dollar to several dollars for each transaction depending on how busy the network is. Polygon/Matic generally costs less than a penny per transaction (including that collection approval fee). Opensea does support a number of other networks, so you'd have to look into each one to get an idea of individual fees for those. Unless you're a celebrity or other high profile project looking for clout, you probably don't need to mint on ETH.
One word of caution, the economy has accelerated the burst of the NFT bubble. NFT buyers are looking more and more for NFTs that offer something more than a picture. Unless you have an audience buying to support you, you will have a difficult time selling or you'll be disappointed in how cheap you have to list in order to get someone to take a gamble.
@jjmainor : first of all, thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate.
Yes I have already heard that the NFT bubble is kind of bursting right now, and buying nft needs to be backed up with other "perks" that will benefit the buyer.
I just want to try to sell nft 3Drenders (images), if there is no buyer (yet), It's ok.
If I may ask : is there a way to sell one image in a duplicate items ? (like 1 image -> sell 1000 of the same one ?).
or in the fact that it should be "NFT", so only unique image can be sold ? (I might need to change the background color for example lol)
Yeah, you can set the supply as high or low as you want.
