What do you create with Daz?

    I use DS for storing all the stuff that's so fun to click buy on.

    Occasionally I use some of it as a drawing doll for 2D art, and sometimes 3D character and outfit concept art (modelling outfits in Blender then importing to DS.)

    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. smiley

    What is tubes for taggers? I thought taggers were people who did grafitti.

    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...

    I'm mostly creating bills with DAZ that have my credit card blanche, whimper and faint. wink

    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.

    Haha

    Both of the above.

    Occasionally I'm happy enough to post on Deviant Art; I am also working on two book covers, well three now. If I'd spend less time on the two quoted activities above, I'd likely have completed them by now. :)

  • 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.)

    What I meant is that the companies that produce material for the Poser/Daz3d world focus their advertising and attention on sites that already cater to those people.   I wish both companies would expand their advertising out into more diverse markets.    I have NEVER seen any mention of either program in any gay related website.   I think there are many potentially new customers out there in the gay/lesbian world if they only knew about these products.

    There are people in all sorts of worlds that don't know anything about them. It was something like my third attempt (different time periods) at searching for a digital version of a drawing doll when I finally stumbled across mention of Poser, and from that discovered everyone used Daz figures and then the much nicer Daz Studio and that it was free. Now that I know about it I see hints of figures and things all over the place that I now recognise but never would have known where to look in the past.

    I'm using Daz to insure that I have nothing left for my worthless relatives to inherit.

    I'm using Studio for my webcomic and my political and social commentary, to keep me entertained in my retirement. Creating the webcomic is fun, although I do get some flak from the easily-offended. That just means I'm over the target. Dealing with it is fun, too.

    I'm easily entertained.

    Seriously, do people look at ads on websites?

    I 'd never seen any ads for DAZ3D or Poser on Queer or Breeder sites but none the less, here

    I am..

    You're not looking at the right websites. There is a pretty substantial presence in the gay male erotic culture.  Not advertising, but the end product. You won't ever find direct advertising because, well, frankly, despite the overtly sexual nature of so much of this stuff, there is an overarching prudishness that pervades much of the culture. Certain concepts are flaunted, while others are not spoken of.

    I very much look at ads. I never click on them but if I am interested I will go directly to that website to read more.     Since you've never seen any 3d art software ads on gay website only underscores my feeling the the two companies should reach out more.

    Yes, the END product but rarely if ever is there any information on how the picture was created or with what soft5

    Generalising, sex is taboo, as is nudity; violence is fine.

    Sex and nudity are important tools for advertising.

    I find the above both a contradiction and ludicrous.

    Indeed, but that leaves out the double standard that goes out with every advertisement: female sex objects are just fine. But we downplay that thought with our words at the same time as we make it quite obvious with our imagery and products. The cognitive dissoance that some people must face on a daily basis has to be staggering.

    You have no idea.  For instance, a distributor for tools that my husband uses in his busines (he is a painter - the building kind of painter not the on canvass type of painter) gave him a calender that had girls in bikinis on them.  Very skimpy bikinis.  Mind you I was cleaning out a years worth of old estimates, flyers etc and it was buried in the stack. I admit I might have got a wee bit more aggravated than was called for but once I calmed down I tried to explain to him how demeaning it was for me to think about him looking at this kind of stuff when there was no way I could live up to that kind of ideal in real life.  I'm in really good shape for being 50 but no matter how good of a shape I am and how well I take care of myself I am not and never will be 18 again.  He absolutely could not understand and what he said was, but this shit is everywhere, this kind of sexual advertising sells.  And he could not grasp why I thought it was wrong.  And then it turned out he never even looked at it (not that he doesn't appreciate that kind of view but he does have a great deal of respect for me and our marriage apparently lol) and like I said, I may have overreacted a tiny bit (the sticker holding the pages closed was still intact so he never even opened it God love him.) But the whole idea that its okay to use sex to sell (male or female) is indeed very much a double standard.  Most people don't want their wife or daughter, son or husband to be in that kind of advertisement nor do they particularly care to have them looking at it either.  Yet its become so prevailant its considered normal and a standard in the advertising industry.  Its straight up crazy.

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,757

    And even more crazy is that I happen to like the iconic fantasy art that portrays the female in skimpy clothing with a sword in hand riding a dragon.  And have been known to do that kind of art as well.  Although I usually tone the skimpware down quite a bit.  But its a definite double standard even in my own head.  Maybe I should just go for the therapy.......

    I think it's all insane. Sex is some terrifying thing that must be hidden at all costs and yet it's the main thing humans were built for that most of them will do at some course and generally enjoy a whole lot. Violence is fine to glorify like crazy yet it's the thing we should be trying to stop completely. Society has some serious denial issues going on.

    Bingo.

    I was just reading an article today about an actual psychological study on the effects of pornography; apparently there aren't a lot, its a difficult subject to study because everyone is afraid of it.  Turns out, however, that the study suggests all that negative stuff you hear about it may not actually be true.  Well... not that certain types of things are demeaning, that's obvious, but, in general, that its not a bad thing. We can of course, make a not bad thing into a bad thing very easily. But that's not the point. And I'm not saying that that makes it ok to use it as a marketing tool, or trying to glorify pornography... but lets be realistic: we are far too hung up about sex and if we treated it more openly, we'd be a lot less hung up about it. And maybe we wouldn't need to glorify the violence so much.

    I mostly create messes. Interesting messes at times, normaly just cliches. But it keeps me off the streets and out of the bars at night. . . :-)

    Re the 'sex in advertising' thing - I remember the early and mid 1950s TV ads, when both beer cans and cigarette packs had good looking legs and danced like the Rockettes.

    This is my theory too. If we were just open about everything, we wouldn't care nearly so much. And there would be less abuse of such things due to openness and education.

    What amazes me is the utter hypocracy of the major media outlets.
    Here in the New York market
    while they lavish praise on some woman who became the first  Female CEO of a major fortune 500 company based on her talent skill & merits etc.
    But these same outlets have systematicly removed their older more wrinkled  Female correspondants from on air positions replacing them with aribrushed beauty queens who can barely read a teleprompterwink

    Exactly. If everyone would just treat it like a normal part of life maybe things would change.

    I cease to be amazed by anything the major media does anymore.  Which is why totally quit watching it.  its no longer news its just another form of entertainment.

    The irony is, the US used to be a lot more open about certain things than it is now. I blame well meaning but nosy government bureaucrats for that, anf the people for electing them.

    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!

     

    ...nice works.

    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?

    ...that was sort of how I originally got involved in this.  I was on an RPG forum where we were discussing art and character illustrations when someone posted a few pics they did in Poser5.  Totally blew me away as I was losing my touch for drawing by hand due to advancing arthritis.  He mentioned several programmes one of them Daz, which was free. DL'd 1.5 and played around with the old 3D Bridge Pack which included the base AIko figure, Mil Dragon, base Mil Dog and Cat, the Domino outfit etc as well as a couple freebies I picked up out of the old Freebie vault as well as the weekly freebies in the store.

    Life's never been the same since.

    I am an animator and want to tell my stories through music videos.  I produce and sing the song, then create the video.  I have about 12 music videos to do but I'm still working on my first one and have been for a couple of years now.  I keep getting ideas then have to figure out how to make DS do it.  There are things in this one I am working on that no one else has done in DS.  Right now, I am loving graphmate!!!

    Mostly pin-up type art, because that's my favorite art. But I plan on doing a short comic to see if I can work 3D into comic book type art. I'm a comic book artist and a commission artist (mainly a colorist) - I work in 2D though. If I could do some 3D art and create comic art with it, that would be great. So I'm going to be doing some experimenting with a fellow Daz Studio artist to see what we can come up with as far as comic art. :) Wish us luck! :D
