What size is your file? I have found if I have a file that is too large (MBs) or in a format the Forums won't recognize it will not load. For size, I have to reduce it, save as a smaller size. For type of file, convert it to something that I know will work.
Using Jpeg files with a quality between 90 and 95 should provide smaller files compared to PNG and the quality should be more than enough for viewing them on a forum.
Originally, I had applied a leather shader on the belts just to test a newly acquired shader but none of the colors matched when I decided to switch to this color for the trench. I dug around to find an old shader that sort of matches just to show that the metal bits are separate objects. I do like this trench coat a lot and anticipate using it often.
This is my second FilaToon music video project. I wanted to go with more action, and went with a comic/graphic novel style, leaning heavily on camera animation. Love FilaToon and how versatile it is!
Youtube tries to often play all these at a blurry low resolution - opting for a playback quality of 720 or 1080 in the video settings will show it closer to how it was rendered. (The lyrics are about how we often like to cozy up to our vices (our demons) more than to our virtues. The music video took a more literal view of the demons and shows a misfit and her demons in a superhero comic/graphic novel narrative).
FilaToon worked great for static scene camera animations - these rendered lightning fast. 120 frames (5 seconds of animation) often rendered out in 10-15 seconds (resolution 1920 x 1080). Any figure animation (like eye blinks or expression changes) turned that into ~15 minutes for me.
What slowed things while working with the actual scenes was having up to 10 G9's in some of the scenes. That slowed my system to a crawl when loading new figures or props. (It didn't affect the render times as much!) I did reduce it down from the original 11, by including a cool free baby prop instead of a G9 figure for the baby/child I wanted in the scenes.
All this alongside a vast number of pose and expression sets, various character morphs, and (toon) hairs and outfits. Anything that wasn't yet in FilaToon got converted using 3Diva's Easy FilaToon.
Another thing that I tried out for the first time was the LowPi Figure (https://www.daz3d.com/lm-lowpi-lowpoly-figure).
I thought it'd work great with FilaToon. After applying FilaToon shading, I did away with the face features, and kept them in more de-saturated colors. That way they receded into the background, and worked really well as background figures in FilaToon (see below).
... have some that are a bit on the silly side, but I needed to grab a new item to trigger a discount and my G9 pose libary is a bit limited at times, so I grabbed them anyway and mixed and matched pieces of them.
They were a bit too much to make work on a centaur, but you can have a fat-bottomed succubus instead.
A character I'm developing derived from the G9F anime base. I forget where I got the hair. Decidedly whimsical and low poly, her hair, I think, fits the genre of the scene.
This is just he first pass. I still have to change the materials of the dress and the props. Eventually I'll swap them out for NPR ones.
csaa A very elegant style. Nice! Hope you share the final version with the changed materials for the props etc. The hair is indeed a perfect fit for this!
After adding clouds and alpine grass, here she is. Initially I was thinking of a pastoral scene set in the mountains, but I decided to leave out the terrain and rely on negative space instead. What's going on in her inner space? I have no idea, really. I was just aming for an over all feeling of levity and tried to arrange the elements of this scene to convey that.

Fat-bottomed succubui make the world go 'round. :)
And thank you for the boob squish. That promo pic on the pose set made me laugh... at no point in my life have my tits been load-bearing like that.
This is mostly composed of items from the Robin bundles.
As for the "Classic Straight Hair," it was just my favorite of the hair products I picked up in recent days.
There's a guy in the background at the video game with new clothes and hair, but he's not nearly clear enough in the final version of the render to count those ...
Render done because a coupe of days ago, when I needed one picture for the crop top's metadata: I looked for a pose allowing to see both the front and the back of the top (hopefully one that won't be too hard on her spine), to remember that the back was translucent (the top has three surfaces - back, front and trim - so if someone wants a non translucent top, it should be easy to change).
Once Zelara 8 was posed and dressed, I needed a background and Stonemason beautiful Café worked nicely (on top of being an outdoor environnement, easier to light than an indoor one):
Other items will be listed on the gallery if and when it return, but I have the full list, so just ask if you want to know more about them.
Second, I was able to download 13 of yomiru's freebies from CGShare's site before it closed but when I tried to use Content Wizard to install them they failed. I tried to manually do it and still failed. May I ask you how you installed yomiru's files into Daz Studio? I love her(?) work and would really like to be able to install and use it.

Hello,
Thank you :)
I'm installing them manually (before creating metadata for them using the editor provided by Daz, and creating thumbnails and icons) and so far, I don't remember having a problem to use them (outside of not seeing that some morphs are dialed by default or that simulation data were saved, at least not before spending the time needed to create morphs for the character I'll use for the thumbnails and icon…).
Do you have some name?
I should have everything shared on ShareCG and I could check on my end if I have the same problem?

A file must be below 5 MB to be able to be attached.
I just attached a render I did Emmy 9 no issues.

Very nice renders, csaa and nemesis10!
joanna,
Thanks! That was my "raw" render, a starting point for tweaking this and that to get a manga-esque look. Here's the work in progress.
Cheers!

Well, I bought https://www.daz3d.com/z-instant-attraction-chair-prop-and-poses-for-genesis-9-and-8-female to get the gift card discount, but I figured the promo poses were a bit too subtle about the butt, so I figured we needed a different character for the job:
Matt_Castle I immediately came to check and make sure you'd posted it here too for everyone to enjoy. I LOVE IT!

I posted a couple of projects in the All Time thread, so decided to go with this one this time. I bought a couple of toon outfit textures specifically for this project: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-school-uniform-texture-add-on and https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-casual-streetwear-outfit-texture-add-on
But I used an insane amount of things I hadn't ever before, which makes these projects oh so much more satisfying. Some of these all time ones include:

https://www.daz3d.com/v3digitimes-hands-controls-for-genesis-9 - Which made it quicker to adjust individual fingers on a hand in many scenes

It took me a while to recognize the top: for a while, I thought you just had not used the 80s Girl Outfit's jacket.
Nice mix between the two outfits
I kitbashed a top and a bottom pieces of clothes, using one new paid item and one new freebie (new to me, it was released almost twelve months ago).
Render done because a coupe of days ago, when I needed one picture for the crop top's metadata: I looked for a pose allowing to see both the front and the back of the top (hopefully one that won't be too hard on her spine), to remember that the back was translucent (the top has three surfaces - back, front and trim - so if someone wants a non translucent top, it should be easy to change).

CNB Leandro for Genesis 9
@nemesis10: he seems a bit angry and he did have a lot of makeup. It's to hide his secret identity?
What product did you use for the makeup?
Another thumbnail for a freebie, this time the Casual T for Genesis 9 from yomiuri, and another opportunity to test a new product, Sandy Shore:
https://www.daz3d.com/sandy-shore
My head canon is that he is the angry genetically enhanced warlord scion who is planning some troublesome massacre while the imperial envoy is trying to talk him down. The makeup is https://www.daz3d.com/cyberpunk-war-paint-lie-makeup-for-genesis-9 which seemed to go with https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-god-armor-outfit-for-genesis-9
Thank you, and yes, I agree, both are working great together
Thank you for your comment!
@Elor, first, lovely picture.
Second, I was able to download 13 of yomiru's freebies from CGShare's site before it closed but when I tried to use Content Wizard to install them they failed. I tried to manually do it and still failed. May I ask you how you installed yomiru's files into Daz Studio? I love her(?) work and would really like to be able to install and use it.
