..mostly just creating secnes, though also working at illustrating an original story (not a graphic novel).
My own entertainment and also illustrating my books for children. http://johnedorey.com
I'm a writer first. Then an artist. I started out with DAZ because I was lured in with the idea of doing my own book cover when I finish my first novel. However, after getting in here, I found that I could do so much more. The thing I end up using DS for the most is blocking out scenes so that I actually have a visual for what is happening in my story. It helps to get another perspective and I can use what I learn from visually creating the scene in my writing. I still play around with book cover ideas and I have a some covers that I'm working on with the intent to sell on the Indie market. Other than that, I love playing around with it and creating the weird and, sometimes, quirky pictures in my head. One of the downfalls of being a writer instead of an artist is that it is easier for me to write about something than to get the actual image just right. I can see it in my head and I can usually describe it, but I can't always get that to translate into an actual image. So, most of what I do never gets uploaded to my gallery.
It started out as concept art for film projects, but now it's starting to become art for art sake.
Problem is once you decide to really get serious, Daz can become a really time consuming endeavor.
I use Daz for doing art and learning how to make my own 3D materials and such, it has broadened my horizens for new ideas in art!!!
I'm mostly creating bills with DAZ that have my credit card blanche, whimper and faint.
Other than that, I'm working on a web comic which is based on a novel my co-author and I are writing on. It's a fun project taken on whenever work and real life allows it.
I'd love to do animation, but I'm still learning the ropes of non-animated rendering.
Hi I create animated films

I use it mainly for content creation and for my own art as well... :)
I was doing a web comic for a year, but I have too many ideas exploding in my head and it felt too much like work.
I do art basically to keep me sane.
It mostly works.
I am an author and a speaker. I picked DAZ up to help with book illustrations and powerpoint slides ... but it has grown to pamphlets and websites also. So far, all for my own ... and I do not intend to start doing commercial work for others.
An income to feed my family ;)

When you say "Daz" do you mean DS? I use Daz characters and products both in Poser and DS. I use DS now (just started in March) for either realism (G3/Iray) or for toons, creatures and children (G1) stuff and Poser for pin-up art and also some children art that I bring into Photoshop for a more illustrated look. I'm more comfortable with Poser because I've been using it for years, so if something doesn't have to look super realistic, I create there and the render time is much quicker! DS is cool for photorealism. Superfly in Poser 11 is supposed to be great too but there's a whole other learning curve so using DS for realism for now since I've already invested in that. I haven't learned 3Delight yet, but I'm assuming that's faster than Iray and want to use it for toons and creatures.
So far, I've used Poser with Daz characters and products along with Photoshop for art in galleries, comic book covers, book and magazine covers, calendars, marketing, and plan to do my own comic. Haven't sold anything created in DS yet, but I'm brand new to it and still learning, and going to market my more realistic work with it soon as my skills improve.
My use is for gay S&M based fantasy art. The gay market is often overlooked by vendors in favor of the non-stop stream of material for females. The argument that malel stuff doesn't sell is shallow as neither Daz3d nor Poser advertise anywhere in the gay male market. The advertising is focused on people who already use 3d art. It's a lot like "preaching to the choir"
That's cool..
I don't really understand what you're saying in the second part
But I thought about doing something similiar
(Sorry for typos.)
Oh I just read your post yesterday it's a bit too advance for me really like your work though
Actually what I find I'm using Daz the most for is procrastinating by hanging out in the forums and looking over all the sales, putting things in and out of my cart, and not doing what I need to do. There are some things I REALLY don't want to do right now, hence a lot of posts in the forum...
For Locations and Scenes.
To get the pictures and ideas in my head out of my head and into the world. Wether the world appreciates it or not lol. Its also (somewhat) cheaper than therapy, although not by much
I use DS to create rendered images which I use for various uses including fan art, contests, graphic design and commercial images for some publishing houses and art studios I work with, I also use it to supplement my game design workflow (with personal meshes, not DAZ meshes). DS is just another part of my 3D workflow, I have 6 modeling apps installed as well as 3 image editors, 4 render engines and poser also.
I use DAZ models to make graphic novels. So far, I've made seven full-length books, and three of them have been shortlisted in national awards.
Couldn't have done it without the assets I've bought here!
i use DS for my own ART and hobby. I like the idea of digital paper doll and being able to create scenes anyway I want.
Mainly a hobby, especially pencil-and-paper role-playing inspired scenss and characters, but I also do professional work, including a couple music album covers with composite 3D work.
@ShaneWSmith: What do you use for the layout of the graphic novels? Photoshop? Clip/Manga Studio?
I've used a few different programs for different projects. Most of the time I use PaintShop Pro 7 (software from 1997) to lay the pages out, and text boxes copied in from Powerpoint for speech balloons.
I used an older version of Manga Studio to letter a couple of projects more recently, and I liked how dynamic the program felt. I still laid out the pages in PSP, though.
Illustration, pre production, stuff I gott sign DNAs for... and naked chicks.
Sounds like me.
I only use Daz genesis meshes as actors in my animated projects
I use Iclone pro for most of my complex animation
I also us Natural motions "Endorphin" for my ragdoll physics.
I render all animation in maxon C4D and use a Variety of other programs for visual effects such Adobe After Effects CS, Autodesk Combustion Nexlimit Real flow and Lightwave 2015.
2D art, also quick character sketches for RPG characters.
Greetings,
^^ This, mostly.
It's probably been a lot more expensive than therapy would be for me, but it's also more fun. Recently I've also started rendering characters for a D&D game I've been trying to put together for my wife.
Mostly, though, I think of myself as an illustrator. I illustrate the scenes in my mind, as best I can. (My wife is a writer, and I help her build scenes for her own work as well.)
I don't think of myself as an artist, as art should engender an emotion in the viewer, and I'm rarely going for that. Unless lust is an emotion...sometimes (rarer than I expected) I do go for engendering lust. ;)
More seriously, I've sketchbooks smattered with the half-hearted attempts of a dilettante novice at drawing. I have a minor motor coordination issue which I use as my excuse for not being any good at physical drawing...but rendering...the setting of a scene, the imagining of the interactions, the placement of props, the lighting, all that...that I can do, and it lets me get images partially out of my brain and into a form that I can vaguely recognize as based on my imaginings. And that's enough for me.

Pictures for myself and tubes for taggers. I began as a tagger with Paint Shop Pro but the whole thing about copyright issues with using tubes from artists (who first allow and then recind their permission or begin to sell them) made me begin to create my own tubes. And of course then I found out that Daz Studio can do so much more than just rendering a figure with some clothes in a nice pose. So now it is my tool to create the pictures I always wanted to draw and couldn't because of lack of talent.
