I'm working on a scene in one of my comics where a woman is running while bieng shot at. Ive created some pretty cool poses, but I was wondering was there a way to create the actual bullets wizzing by, without post work. I can create this using post work but it will be very time consuming. Ive been searching through the Daz store and I couldnt find anything that would simulate a bullet wizzing by. Does anyone know of a program that has something like this?

If you are using 3delight, you can create that effect with motrion blurr (activate under the advanced rednder settings, before you need to create a timeline for the bullet movement as if you want to animate)
There are some plugins in the store that can create a similar effect for Iray but I never used one of those
Not hard in post work if you render the bullets so they are availble with a transparent background around them; just rease the parts you don't need and scale as required. It is easier if the bullet(s) has the perspective you need.
Thanks, but do you know where I can purchase the actual bullets? Not really trying to create an animation, just images of her ducking and bullets whizzing by. If I can't find them, I know can do this using post work, I was just wondering.
It looks like a lot of the guns in the store come with loose bullets: https://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bullet
There are also free bullets at several places that have 3D content:

Something like that I would probably use a primitive cylinder with the x and z scaled down to about the diameter of a bullet, then scale the y a lot. reduce the opacity down real low...
If you want the ripple effect, then you could create a texture to place on the cylinder
Most Digital (Adam Twaites) has a "bullet time" freebie on his site. It is intended to emulate the effects in the Matrix.

I made some renders with it maybe 8-10 years ago, it was very easy to use. It is a Poser prop set.
bit primitive but maybe a possibility?
