Thank you. It's all Substance Painter, really... It makes it super easy to throw together decent looking textures.

I've been trying to use Genesis 3 and shape-shift to create an enormous hambeast like you see in the photo, but I'm running into an issues. When the figure's pecs and shoulders are too big, they start creating a weird pinching deformation in the armpit area. I took some screencaps to demonstrate what I mean. I tried downloading Poke-Away for Genesis 3, and it doesn't seem to help the issue.

Has anyone had similar issues? Does this happen on other figures? I've tried playing with Genesis 2, but Shape Shift doesn't seem to have the same options on G2M.

Almost. I missed out a point which plays a pretty big part, colour correction. That's definitely done in post. Using that portrait that you posted as an example, it's things like clipping black and white levels to create a faded i.e. "softer" effect, as well as bumping up vividness/saturation in the greens to make those irises stand out. It's still a concept in photography, so you can study that as a whole if you're interested in achieving a look like that.

So, I've been doing DAZ for over a year now and currently I'm still learning the tricks of the trade so I'm just gonna put my input here as well as let DAZ vets correct me here. Anyways...

>Ghost Light >>> Spotlights
The most popular lighting suggestion in DAZ tuts are the 3-point spotlights. For the first 5 months or so, I've used that but it became annoying to set it up and "perfect" it till I stumbled upon the Ghost Light Kit and never looked back. It acts similarly to a Light Box or Umbrella that just generally diffuses light all around makes it softer rather than the harsh one by spotlights. The other good thing about it is it works on the Sun-Sky only mode that disables scene lights. The kit also has presets for colors and luminance.

>Ecvh0's Cinematic Render Resource Kit
Oh God, I wish I knew this when I started out instead of cranking up the luminance. It basically is a compilation of Tone Mapping (Exposure, Film ISO) presets for Iray. Want to lighten up the scene or darken it without touching your lights? This is it. It also comes with color profiles. I'm a moron on this stuff, okay? This makes it easier.

>Adjust Camera Focal Length to >90
The default Focal Length is 65. I started reading into photography and one of the core things it mentioned was focal length. The higher it is, the flatter the face becomes. 90 - 120 is my personal "standard" but you can go higher than that. One warning though, if you morphed on low focal and adjust it, your "perfect" morphs become mongoloid-esque after.

>Skin GODDAMN Shaders
This was a game changer. I use two depending on my needs, Anagenessis 2 and Iray Ultimate Skin Manager. The former is a one-click solution whereas the latter goes full control on the skin.

>Scene Optimizer
We all know the drill. 4K textures on jewelry doesn't do exactly wonders on our GFX ram. Use this to cut usage in half. If you're still struggling with ram use, render the foreground and background separately.

>Post-Process
PS and Lightroom.

>> No.629636

>>629632
>Post-Process Cont.
PS for touching up minor mistakes or some scene artifacts. Lightroom is another game changer. "Download" the VCSO filter packs out there and use it on your renders to turn it up a notch. Though it isn't the "Be-all and end-all" solution 'cause some of them will overexpose your shit so you need to adjust in Photoshop first THEN Lightroom.

>Exposed and lighter scene = Faster Render
If you want a night scene or an area to be darker DO IT IN POST PROCESS. The darker the scene, the slower Iray would render it and the more grain artifacts show up. You want the scene to be equally light and exposed but underexpose the area you want to be much darker, adjust that in gamma in Photoshop.

>Render 2x the resolution of your expected output.
My files are generally 1920x1080 but I render in 2560x1440, not really 2x but the downscaling will be enough to rid most of the grains.

Pretty much that's it for me unless I'm forgetting something. Also, what happened to the DAZ pastebin? Is it dead?

You're pretty much about there. Outside of render settings, these are the basics of photography, which usually leads into how similar rendering and photography can be (in terms of technique), meaning you can bring the same principles into either one. ISO and shutter speeds become very important when you're doing shots in extreme lighting. Cranking focal length to beyond 105mm gives you that isolated i.e. portrait look.
My addition would be making proper use of depth of field in your renders. Things like using large apertures, exaggerated bokeh, anamorphic ratios. Those can really help to elevate your renders if you're doing anything with backgrounds.
A comment would be for post processing. Personally, I haven't played with Iray (or Daz for that matter), but if it does have the option export your files in 16-bit (or higher). They'll be larger files but that's because 16-bit images contain more color data. That color data can be very helpful in rigorous post processing to avoid clipping. Look into colour correction and management if you want to take it to the next level (stuff like the teal and orange to create an action movie look, etc.)
Additionally, while the "making it darker in post" process is a smart trick, you have to be very careful with how you approach that. Do it badly and it's painfully obvious, since a darker scene doesn't just mean less bright lights, but also softer lights.

Glad you're making your own clothes now. Work on the fabric dynamics a bit, the pants look a bit like dried plaster as they are. Bake the fabric bump into the diffuse and at about half their current scale to look more like denim and less like burlap, draw stitches in a contrast color and add belt loops even if there's no belt.

DAZ Studio doesn't really have much in the way of decent animation tools. And the few plugins that *are* available are usually a) sold separately, and b) not particularly well-unified.

Just getting a basic dope sheet and animation graph into Studio will set you back ~$40.

Personally, I'd strongly recommend doing your animation work in something more robust, and then if necessary import the motion data into Studio.

Hey guys, I've been wondering about Daz's Interactive License. Their explanation of it is extremely vague, and totally useless. It says something about the player being able to manipulate the 3d assets, adding sometimes an additional $50 charge to a 7 dollar dog. What I want to do is buy a Daz model, retopolgize it to be game ready, make my own textures, and otherwise make my own model, only using the original for baking purposes. Literally not one person at Daz can answer me if I'm allowed to do this, which I assume is because they want to wait for someone to do it, so they can screw them for hundreds of dollars in one shot. Any opinions on this?

>> No.631476

This is a weird line of questioning. What's stopping you from making a model from scratch by using the Genesis model as a reference? I would assume you have a basic degree of modelling skills, if you already know how to retopologize. Unless of course you're talking about an automatic retopologization solution like ZRemesher.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

I've been fighting with this one for years. Here's one solution I came up with in Poser but it requires a wave deformer, not a magnet (but the principle is the same):
From left to right: original morph following boob morphs with stupid cleavage baked in, custom wave deformer applied to chest/abdomen to pull fabric out somewhat, same deformer with a sideways ripple added to provide vertical stretch marks.

You actually have a more sophisticated wave tool than Poser does because you can mess with the sine wave more directly. If you just want to use something off the rack:

Sooner or later in this hobby you have to make choices about creating tools or acquiring them depending on time and desperation.

Here's a screencap of the deformer in action: the green wave prop's size and position are irrelevant but the settings aren't. The sphere is the deformer's zone of influence on the clothing.

It's absolutely great for things that aren't rigged to open or close. Rigged clothing with buttons that move in and out of holes? It will distort the fuck out of buttons and you have to go back to using magnets -- which can also distort buttons, but not as grossly -- and then tweak the settings to keep the buttons normal sized. And you need to export this whole thing as a morph otherwise the minute you start to do anything like open the clothing the magnet makes everything funny looking.

I started using poser eleven years ago when I was underage with the computer of my father. I posed little boys dominating little girls, and was actually taken over by the police when they confiscated my father's computer after a paedophile craze. They took my DNA and said something like "3d little girls are still illegal you know".

I lost all my scenes those days. I'm still mad, there was one with a boy using a girl as a living chair which was good.

>> No.632446

Hey all. I'm looking at Daz as an alternative to human mesh/character creation. Would be very thankful if you could all answer some questions that I have before I make my decision.

1. How much is it to use Daz?
I know the core program itself is free, but what about everything else? Assuming that I won't be using Iray, I'll be making my own assets (clothing, hair, props, etc.), all I need are the human meshes as well as skin options and morphs. What am I missing out on if I don't spend a single cent (if possible)?

2. How does it compare to alternatives?
Everything from Mixamo/Adobe's Fuse to Reallusion's Character Creator. I don't really care about process, how easy each programs are to use, etc., just end results.

3. What essentials would you recommend?
Just some add-ons and all that you find benefits your end result the most.

Thanks once again.

1.) Daz' free/starter stuff will give you the base mesh for Genesis 2/3/8(latest) iirc. That is the base model with very little built in morphs.
2.)That depends on what it is exactly you want to do. As per point 1, you said you would make all the clothing hair props etc, would you just be using daz for base characters/skins/textures? Because those will cost a bit and are significantly better than things offered from Adobe and just a bit better than Reallusion (IMO, but you can also use a reallusion bridge to import daz content. This will also cost more since you'd be buying DAZ content and Reallusion stuff. But may be worth it for their realtime PBR renderer.)

3.) Similar to above, depends on what you need it for. Base model meshes and generic skin are free.

>alternative to human mesh/character creation
So you would want the program to create a humanoid and allow easy customization of breast/head/etc sizes and muscle tone?
That is partially included in the starter. You will need to purchase bodymorph addons for the particular series character. Genesis 2/3/8, head/body/expression are available for each generation. There are also completely separate characters for each generation that require a one of the genesis bases. Victoria is a popular one.
If you plan on using this for a game project you will release, you will need to purchase a separate license that varies from product to product.

>> No.632450

>>632447
By "very little built in morphs", what do you mean exactly? Sorry, I should be doing my own research, but I'm phoneposting at the moment so it's not really that convenient to look things up on mobile (and in public). I don't really know what a morph exactly is. Is it shaping extents or base meshes themselves?
And yeah, I plan to use Daz as a human base mesh for other stuff. I'm more interested in making the clothing and scenes themselves rather than actual human characters, so I'm just looking for a quick and good-looking solution rather than making everything myself.
Just an extension: how powerful are the base skin tools? I'm just looking for very basic stuff, skin tone, eye colour, maybe some extras like freckles.

>>632448
And what exactly is the Victoria character? Can I recreate it with the basic Genesis tools, or is it a completely different base mesh that uses the same morphing system? I'm fine if I have to start with a completely androgynous base.
And no, I'm not looking to use Daz models in a game nor even commercial purposes. Just to properly visualise some ideas I've been concepting. I'll be sure to purchase the appropriate licences if I plan to expand.

>> No.632451

>>632450
If all you want is a very basic base model to sculpt. You can use the free starter assets. There is one generic skin/texture/material for it. Each is generally sold separately from different vendors/artists.

To get a firm grasp on things, I would suggest creating an account and downloading the free stuff so you have something to reference. There is a bit of a learning curve. NOT because Daz is difficult to use. Just that their item synergy is very obtuse.

Oh, I'm not looking for something to sculpt on, per se, just basic mannequins I can play with and proportion to my liking. Y'know, like character creators in video games? Fallout, Dark Souls, all those MMOs, etc.
And like I already said, I really don't think I'll be needing their marketplace (besides for skin textures maybe). I have other software (like MD and Blender) that I know how to use and thus plan to create all my other assets with.

To be similar to a video game character creator you need the base Genesis figure (2/3/8), the appropriate head/body morph addon packages. That alone will give you a fairly small variety in sliders and sizes of things you can do. sunken cheeks etc. Materials are generally one per separate character. Depending on the vendor, they usually provide makeup alternatives for them. Say you like the skin/texture/material/shape look of "Ekaterina for Genesis 8 Female" (pic related)
In order to use that, you will also need the base Genesis 8 female (included with the free/starter stuff). If you want to change anything about her, you will also need the head/body morph addons for Genesis 8 Female as mentioned above.

One of the first thing you need to get after the base is the official Genesis Body Morphs which comes with your Genesis. Those add dozens of morphs, including muscles, height, corpulence, and anything in between. They are an absolute must have.

Additional morphs can be useful when you need to add more details (I found that fine tuning arm/leg musculature often requires additional morph packages).

And if I wanted full functionality (i.e. complete ability to make my own characters), I'll be needing the official Body Morphs and Head Morphs, yeah?

Not sure if Zev0 requires the base morphs. You can make plenty of characters with the method you described while only using Genesis 8 starter essentials and Genesis 8 body/head morphs.

Besides the options already mentioned in the thread, which give you plenty of sliders for tweaking the Genesis 8 base mesh, you also have the option of exporting it as OBJ, deforming it in ZBrush/Blender/whatever, and importing it back as a morph of your own. DAZ will compute the difference between your version of the mesh and the base one, and create the morph.

(The limit here is that you cannot change the topology, and -- I believe -- you are limited to morphing the Base Resolution version of Genesis, but you can still do plenty of customization this way.)

Is there any way to easily rig clothing that has been modelled for a morph? I've been doing it in a convoluted way, where I've used Zbrush to fit the clothes to the default Genesis 3 Female, then I apply the original mesh as a morph, which causes it to look correct, but the bone weighing is all dependent on how well I adjust the original mesh for the Genesis 3 base.

So is there a way to rig clothes directly from the Genesis 3 with the character morph applied? It would make things a lot simpler for me. I've tried a multitude of different things but nothing has worked so far.

Okay, I didn't express myself very coherently here.

The clothes for my punisher character were modelled after a morph I created, which makes her much taller and more muscular than the Genesis 3 Female base. If I want to rig the clothes, I have to first adjust them so that they line up with the Genesis 3 Female base model. This isn't very fun and the fidelity of the bone weighing is all dependent on how well I conduct this process.

If there was a way I could rig the clothes based on the morph which the character uses, so that the bone weighing lines up perfectly with the meshes I've created, that would make things a lot quicker for me, and improve the overall quality in the end. Does anybody know if this is at all possible?

Seems the bump limit is higher than it used to be.

Nah, we're already at bump limit. Bumping means the thread goes back to the top of the board with every new post, and bump limit just means it doesn't cycle back to the top. It continues to go down until it gets pushed to page 10 and archived.

Many character developers prefer to work from a base whose proportions they find aesthetically attractive. Fred's nowhere near as egregious on this front as some of the vendors I've seen where they make tiny iterations of the same basic idea and put more effort into altering the diffuse maps.

Sabby's gotten better about this since but for a while it was really annoying.

Show me three (3) good results from facegen that don't look monstrous. This hobby has had 10 years to make photogrammetry viable and so far it's still best left to people with regular sculpting/modeling tools.

This is a far lazier character designer, with a fetish for hyperstylization of the same basic features.

Its sad, because when he does a character that isnt formulaic, its pretty decent.

Hmmm the update seems to be almost entirely about updating iray and patching in newer gpu compatibility and general iray bugfixing, also claiming performance improvements on iray, seems like only the newest most expensive cards will see a big boost
Will probably install it later to test the performance
