Commissioned Props

Hi! I need some props for a comic I'm doing based in South Korea, but there are very few useful products for me at the shop. Does anyone know of an artist interested in making some commissioned props? Perhaps someone who already makes Asian-based products? I have no problem with the artist selling the products later to other people. Thanks!

    You better give more info. about what kind of Asian-based Props that you want ~~

    It'd be stuff like food, some places and signs.

    Asia is so big, from Turkey to Japan, from Siberia to Timor. Your question should be much more specific.

    The OP specified that their comic was set in South Korea.

    well, do you really need to commission props of this sort? Props are pretty easy to import to Daz and set up. 

    Perhaps look at what's already available on places like cgtrader and turbosquid etc.  For freebies, Sketchfab, Freepoly, Quixel, and Polyhaven have tons of free asian props and environment assets.

    Alternatively, artificial Intelligence can generate some stuff pretty well now, at least for background assets where you dont need detail.  

    If by "places" you expect an environment artist to make an entire custom environment, that could be very costly, depending how they do it.  So what's actually realistic is to look at existing environments, kitbashing, etc.  Outside of Daz, you can maybe find environments on other marketplaces for Unreal  or Blender, but it won't be easy to import whole environments comprised of hundreds of different assets to Daz without spending a lot of time, either for you or someone you commission to do it.  Even with bridges, there are limitations of those bridges in how to set up shaders for efficiently bringing to Daz.

    My bad, I should have read more carefully. Sorry.

    This has been asked before, with the answer that it would likely be very expensive - hundreds of dollars - to pay people for the time it takes to make decent models. Plus, PAs already have time comitted to making products for the store, they might not be willing/able to drop that to work on your project.

    But there's an enormous amount of stuff out there already, and people here willing and able to help you find it - if you tell us what you're looking for. "Stuff like food, some places and signs" really isn't enough information to do anything with.

    Stonemason has done some Japanese street scenes. With some judicious re-texturing of signs, could they be adapted? Regards, Richard
