what the best tool/plugin for creating hair?

What are the chances Daz creates a real time render animation suite like iclone that would work seamlessly with Daz models and animations/poses?

>>638872
Ornatrix or Yeti for Maya, or Houdini's integrated hair tools.

>>638898
From what we've heard about them being in maintenance mode with very few actually working on the program itself. Not a good chance. Best bet is importing to loliClone, blender 2.8 etc.

>>638852
That's some of the worst modeling and texturing I've ever seen.

>>638941
You've seen nothing then

>>638906
I already have yeti and houdini, but is Ornatrix worth the price?

>>638852
Poser & DAZ communities are weird

>>638987
SO that's why the mask is worn.

1st render, improvement tips please.

>>639051
By default nostril maps should be black, what did you do and why did you do it

so I was getting tired of the awful seams in the iris region, and merged the sclera and iris material regions into one, I also merged the lips with the face material region... why isn't this by default? the lips especially has no need for a separate texture, no? even if you want separate colors for the lips, you'll still need to supplement another (most likely) high-res texture...
at first glance this looks ten times better and I rid myself of 3 material regions using resources for no reason (cba to confirm if it did lower resource consumption).
my guess that it makes it easier to create your own textures? no idea honestly

>>639051
Read up on 3 point lighting

>>639126
>I can't understand what character developers are doing here and instead of thinking about it harder I'll call the last 15 years' worth of paradigm stupid
You're not going to make it

>>639126
If you understood how Daz builds its humans, you'll realise that the sclera & iris and face & lips use the same textures, ya idiot. They're separate materials because they _are_ separate materials. For example, having the lips on a separate material allows you to have fine control over glossiness in the event you have lip makeup.

>>639214
I'm waiting for anon to Sheldon Cooper us that you should just have all of the head on one unbroken material zone with entire separate head maps for every minor variation.
>I have a visible seam in a border between two materials, therefore I should solve the problem by merging the materials instead of learning about shaders

>>639213
Putting words in my mouth I see.
>>639214
I will admit I do not in fact understand how they're made. However it did strike me that I may not understand the technicalities behind the models, and it almost swayed me away from posting the above.
>>639215
Never said I was unwilling to learn, albeit shader editing is foreign to me.

Holy fuck look at this
https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-for-maya

With this you can port the genesis 8 models and any morphs to maya 8 where you can easily animate it thanks to auto set up human IK rig
All the morphs are ported to maya, even the joint controlled morphs, so the figure will deform correctly just like in DAZ

Furthermore you could change the shape of the figure mid animation.
Think about what this means for easily made porn with actual good models. Someone spread this to animators. So many possibilites (belly deformation, cum inflation, etc.)

>>639286
Is there a way to easily transfer a pose done in DAZ to human IK?

>>639289
that script can probably do that, altho i havent tested it if just copies it in t-pose or any pose applied

>>639119

Is making extremely realistic clones of "original" daz Deviantart characters and posing them in extremely degrading situation a sin? How would an average autistic fandom react when one of their top femdom OC is suddenly taking dick into her ass and making ahegao faces?

Your journey leads you to a fork on the road. The path on the right, a worn out cobblestone lane leading straight into the forests above you. The left path, a winding road, well-tended but old, leads down into the rocks below.
Two guardians stand in your way, stark naked and well-oiled. One male, one female, both gay from /fit/. You know one answes with the truth, but will delete your gains instantly. The other always lies, but will double your gains for the rest of you life.
You dont know which one, and you can only ask one question before they return to flexing and mirin'.

How do you proceed?

>>639119
idk it's the gia 7 skin, maybe cause i used a headlamp?
>>639193
I know what that is but i went stupid mode, i'll give it a go.

>>639483
Ask either which path their counterpart would say is the correct one, and take the opposite path.

>>639622
50% chance of losing your sick gainz, which would probably make you die in either road.

>>638852
Does anyone know of a character for V4 who looks similar to pic related? I don't mind doing some dialing and zbrushing but need a model to get me 70% of the way there.

>>639483
I would ask if they ever lie, then follow the path of the one that says they don't.

>>639673
>V4
You are a man of exquisite taste. About a third of what appears to be the shape of her face is makeup you'll need to reproduce in the diffuse texture. When I'm not slammed at work today I'll look over my collection and see which one comes closest.

animation system is very simple and efficient but IRAY is so long, I use openGL for the moment. Waiting for nvidia RTX improvement.

I recognize your art from the last time you posted your snuff porn here. Learn 3 point lighting, it's not rocket science. That ambient shit looks like a half-burned out ceiling fluorescent tube and you're not letting Iray run long enough.
Also don't take this the wrong way but you pose people fucking like you've never had sex yourself before. Either take care of that or start using other peoples' pose sets until you get laid.

>>639820
I don't like long renders, it's boring

What are hair cards?

Hail to the queen, baby!

>>640530
An approach for creating hair we used for almost 3 decades. It's good enough when decently done, but it's a fill rate killer in real time applications and is prone to shimmering/aliasing.

For offline rendering it's probably no longer the way to go.

>>640539
>we used for almost 3 decades
And will continue to use until hardware is capable of dealing with strand-based hair in something resembling realtime.
Pros of cards are that any hardware can render it and you can provide a large number of deformers to simulate basic physics. Cons are a very limited degree of realism in animation and more complex issues involving longer hair (e.g. the way it spreads out when lying flat) really aren't simulated well with cards which fundamentally operate on a locks rather than strands basis.

Of all boards on the chan, /3/ is the most pathetic. Of all threads on /3/, Daz is most pathetic.

>>640653

>>640653
>Daz is most pathetic.
nah, the Blundertards are even more spastic

>>640653
And of all the posters in this thread, you are the most pathetic.

>>640653
Daz is a tool, a utility. The character meshes are solid and free to use so why not use them to save time? A few morphs and simple clothes, a different render engine and poof! You've just saved yourself a few years learning character creation.Plus you can export the rigs.

It is more of how you use the tool. I do understand your frustration with DAZ, however. If the shit on this board gets you down you can always check out reddit's board. Or you could contribute. Fag.

>>640688
ANd you think this model of yours looks like character?
It looks like a fucking mannequin that's the problem with DAZ, everything is stock..

>>640681
Are you insane? Lol

>>640697
True. I'm not out to make porn look life-like. I am here to P A R T Y ! and ...

R O C K !

>>640688
You can usually tell DAZ characters from a mile away. I don't know why, but that's how it is.

This wouldn't be bad if it weren't for it lessening the perceived artistry and skill level of whoever assembled the character/scene.

>>640706
Precisely why I chose to do my renders in Blender.

I get the funny feeling that it is what you do with the tool or utility. Like how you can make a better impression with a #2 pencil vs. someone who went to art school and can whip out an oil painting but .. nothing is there that grabs you. Peace.

>>640709
>Precisely why I chose to do my renders in Blender
Yeah and your choice of male figures which is barely tweaked from default already told everyone what you're using regardless of renderer. And exporting Poser to Blender to use the same render engine…

>>640770
That doesn't matter. What I was saying is that that anon doesn't know how to set up materials.

I don't know why people aren't using marmoset or orctane or redshift or even blender's new renderer

DAZ models are great, they are the best human bese models around, but most DAZ renders look like ass because people use shit renderers.

>>640538
This one's nice though

>>640940
The biggest issue is conversion. DAZ is fairly inflexible when it comes to moving things cross-program, and you often lose features like morphing as well as experiencing things like rigs breaking. There are methods, but they're long and tedious and most people usually don't want to go through the process. Plus, all the shaders are already built for Iray. If you moved things to a different platform, you'd have to set up all the materials again. Not saying that that's difficult, but people can be really lazy. So, in short, it's just inefficient to do so.

>>640942
>you'd have to set up all the materials again

Save scene, relaunch daz, open scene, render.
Daz is SHIT at memory management (among many other things)
Or the materials and other things in your scene are > your GPU memory. Even when under the memory limit, changing things around eats more memory.

Do you even engrish comics?

If someone could clone the top Daz guys around that'd be pretty cool. But I think some of them use methods that are a touch advanced. Like using the normals to get foot wrinkles and using zbrush to perfectly sculpt the bodies.

But if you can do it please do, and post results please.

Probably not because it would be harder to sell taking a shit animations.

Are there any plugins or products for anatomical accuracy? Im noticing that certain limbs dont look right when bent and the muscles dont really flex.

Also which is better for simple drawing reference, poser or daz?

>>641442
>Are there any plugins or products for anatomical accuracy? Im noticing that certain limbs dont look right when bent and the muscles dont really flex.
Outside of the film industry, most 3D figures are hollow rigid bodies in either A or T poses and joint bending is a deformation governed by "bones" whre additional deformers keep the limb bends rounded instead of sharp.
Actual muscular bulges as a result of these bends, when they exist, are additional deformers intentionally built into the figure and how that's done is a matter of which technology makes more sense for the figure and for the application.
For example you aren't generally going to see realistic scapulae movements from the back because the necessary mechanics to swivel, bend or turn a figure's arm socket don't rely on an actual shoulderblade.

>Also which is better for simple drawing reference, poser or daz?
There probably isn't much difference here. Poser was originally designed as a simple manikin posing application for exactly that purpose.

>>641442
But to answer your first question more directly, that depends on the figure. The old but beloved V4 has a handful of addons that make limb bends more realistic but again, they aren't applicable to other figures.

Has someone ever managed to make a Daz model that doesn't look like a typical Daz model? Like where you cannot instantly tell it's Daz? Also what is it that makes them so easily recognizeable and how could you change that and make it less creepy? The renderer? The focal length of the camera? The eyes? The symmetrical face?

Are you the anon from a few threads back?
Post Test01 and Test02

>>641975
It is dated yeah, what would you suggest I upgrade first?

My exact issue is Maya crashing on imports because Daz stuff can get very detailed, but it doesn't make sense to me as maya should be able to handle it.
The only way I get tings to work is going body, then hair, then clothes, sometimes have to do clothes separately. It's just so tedious not being able to import them together.
Once everything is inside then Maya is smooth, I rarely crash when I'm actually working, it's just on importing.

>>642042
Once you have seen the default presets for many of the common girls, they become very easy to spot.

Another giveaway is the facial expressions. If you don't use some real customs one's, they also are dead giveaways.

It's gettin near that time for another Christmas Cuck edition. Hope you guys have your Darius models.

>>642095
Unironically kill yourself.

>>642095
nah no way my man, we have to make the spooky halloween cuckery thread first

>>641944
Erogenesis's TAB. Best dick on the market imo.

>>642087
>Are you the anon from a few threads back?
>Post Test01 and Test02
I guess I am, yeah. I didn't keep those files, though. But they weren't very different from the first one I posted in this thread.

>>642095
I'm glad someone remembers those fondly. I would get so many angry (you)'s when I posted those.
>>642109
Slooty Halloween, I like it.

>>642095
instead of dindus I like my girls getting raped by monsters or old fat man. Does this work too for Xmess cuck?

>>642095
Eh no. Because it's irrelevant to what that big meaty vein-covered cock is attached that does torso-deep penetrations, so I substitute the human males in my artworks with monsters like ogres, orcs, goblins, lizardmen, minotaurs etc.

>>642141
but how match the textures?

>>642142
You have to redo them obviously, this is what templates are for. I also export everything to Maya for re-rigging, animation and rendering. The thought of doing more than preparing/shaping/dressing a character in DAZ makes me sick.

I salvaged a lot of older assets this way, by redoing surfaces/rigging completely. Poser/DAZ artists made a lot of cool creatures over the years, but you need to put in some extra work to get them on a certain level.

These days I'm genuinely more excited about new creature and monster assets than about the x-th variation of some blonde bimbo. I wish more people would do interesting creature designs.

>>642149
Obviously we need more variation in spiked heeled everything.

>>642149
Pretty much this.
Once I realized how obtuse daz's built in method for minor tweaks and just how many outside programs I'm using in the end, I might as well just use a complete 3D suite after dialing and exporting the character base I want with clothing etc.
Daz needs an overhaul but it's not coming.

Daz newb here. How would I go about making a female terminator with exoskeleton. Something I could remove sections of organics to reveal the endoskeleton?

Daz newb here. How would I go about making a female terminator with visible endoskeleton. Something I could remove sections of organics to reveal the endoskeleton?

>>642182
Figure it out yourself like any other 3D artist would.

>>642184
That's an odd url. Or perhaps it's a book title? I lknow /3/ users are so helpful.

>>642185
What you're asking to do is far too complicated for a complete beginner to do, unless you're content with using DAZ store crap, in which case I'm sure there's something out there.

If you're talking about creating something from scratch, you really have to rely on your own skillset to get you through this particular problem solving. Nobody knows what pipeline is going to work for you. Nobody knows what your artistic vision is. Either get good or get lost.

>>642186
>>642182
They've got to start somewhere.
I guess one sloppy method could parenting the endoskeleton's skull to the head and then using a morph modifier to push the actual character's geo beneath. You'd still need to add effects or modify the base character's skin to be bloody around whichever edges you decided to push.
I feel like there was a daz item for this in the last six months but can't find it atm.

>>642186
Really? I mean, it's just:
>learn how to model, rig and texture an endoskeleton
>learn proper boolean techniques for culling portions of the human geometry so the endoskeleton can show and the geometry still remains subd-safe
That's like two steps man. Two steps isn't complicated.

>>642189
>boolean culling
Didn't think of that. Now I'm interested in trying on my own.

>>642182
>>642189
(and >>642190, might as well)
Serious answer though, probably just find a suitable endoskeleton model (definite bonus points if you make it yourself), create the appropriate morphs so it stays in shape with whatever body morphs you're using, then drag your body mesh into ZBrush and sculpt out all the missing "damage" points. Transfer those as HD morphs, create the appropriate textures around the damage points, viola. The intersections probably won't look that good, and you'd have to further create normal maps for the damage areas to look right (all the high detail skin tears and loose skin, etc.), but for a DAZ-compatible setup it should be about there.

>>642191
Actually, wait, no. Having the endoskeleton act like clothing would be a more elegant solution rather than treating it separate. It just hides underneath the body mesh, which I'm not sure would entirely work, but if DAZ's clothing system is as simple as I think it is it should with no problems.

>>642189
No it's never "just" anything. Everything becomes simple when you break it down in terms like that. Creating a movie is just as easy as devising a script, gathering a crew, filming it, editing it and distributing it, right? In 3D art particularly, wrestling with the software, dealing with unexpected problems and trying to keep your artistic vision vivid is not easy when you're starting off. Especially the part about unexpected problems. Sometimes the hardest part is just finding out what to troubleshoot. If your computer isn't end of the line you might find frustrations build up at how slow everything in the creative process is.

If you think everything is a cakewalk because the core principles are easy to comprehend, you clearly have little to no experience actually doing the work.

Now I don't know what skill level the anon has, but if he has to ask how to do something which is quite complicated, not even asking a particularly specific question but just broadly how to implement something, he's probably pretty inexperienced.

>>642193
Appreciate the serious answer, but major case of >>>/whoosh/ there. Maybe you were going off on your own tangent, because it's hard to believe you couldn't detect such scathing sarcasm. I already provided my serious, proper answer below.

>>642195
It's difficult to judge tone over the internet, anon. And you'd be surprised how delusional people get. Your post didn't even seem that outlandish, there really are people that naive.

I recognize that triceps. That's Tigersan, innit.

clare3dx has good tutorial for giant breast fits but I cant seem to get mine to work.

>>642210
Though appears to have worked much better on GF8

>>642211
Your mileage may vary with the more extreme morphs.

So far it's worked well on most things I've tried. Not sure what to adjust with d-force for wrinkles though.

>>642149
Name some good poser/daz standalone creature figures suitable for fucking girls.

>>642212
This kinda reminds me of somebody, I don't recall what was his name... MrXSomething...?

>>642250
OOF, you wound me!
I can see it though. Since he appears to render in opengl with basic colors. Nipples need to be dicks though.

>>642269
Don't forget the pierced anal prolapse!

>>642301
I wish I could forget it.

Unrelated, It's that time of year to work on those SPOOPY renders!

>>642314
fearboners count too.

>>642314
what's even the point of the scene being there if it's gonna be so dark?

>>642317
At that point, I was toying with light from the candle only. Definitely going to light the hallway some but haven't decided where to go from there. Originally thought of having some monster's face barely lit behind her. Will need lots more lights for sure though.

>>641813
I decided to give it a try in Mantra. Still building the shaders.

I'm trying to make a na'vi loli for reasons...
I know the stripes need to be darker and the dots look kinda shitty r8 now, also there are no good braided hairs

>>642068
This dress is too hot.

>>642402
WIP

the render will be in real time with the Nvidia RTX ? Daz studio uses IRAY

>>642425
Probably not for a while, Daz needs to actually program the functionality into it.

>>642426
I think they are already working on it, maybe in 2 months

>>642427
welp, i'm still using a 960gtx, and won't get an RTX card even if I had the money, so it wouldn't benefit me at all.

>>642428
>and won't get an RTX card even if I had the money
why not?

>>642431
I'm never an first-adopter, I always wait for new tech to mature. That and the price is waaaaaay too high.

>>642428
I have a 970gtx and render are very boring, I will take an RTX ( maybe a hypothetical futur RTX2060 because the 2070 is a bit expensive ). I want to make animations
2019 will be great for 3d creation

>>642427
>Daz needs to actually program the functionality into it.
pfffft, considering DAZs snail pace at dev I'd say maybe in 5 years (if they still exists by then)

>>641535

>>642427
why dont you let your renders get to 100%?

>>642557
He said he gets bored, duh

>>642564
weird
normally i do a render a day and leave it on either overnight or when i go out

do you guys sit and watch your renders?

>>642564
i know that feel, need a second PC

>>642571
GTX 960 anon here

I honestly don't have a problem, my renders don't usually take longer than an hour in Iray, and if I'm using Lux I'll let it run over-night.

I always render at super high-res, and downscale from there as well.

This one was originally 1600x2080, rendered in 34 minutes.

>>642574
i usually do overnight renders, also on a 960, just leave them overnight and downscale after

ignore the shitty background was trying to make it into a NWN portrait and fucked up lol

>>642570
My 1080ti renders pretty fast. I have room in my box for one more and might do that if prices drop enough.

>>642574
Fix the hair clipping, please~

>>642570
I watch youtube video during my renders.
I never go more than 8 minutes.

>>642640
yeah, you need to work on that ADHD and let it go for at least 30

>>642641
yea yea, I will get a RTX, it will be more simple.

>not exporting your scenes and putting them in marmoset or similar for instarender
iray looks like shit anyway

>>642646
It's not terrible, but in terms of final image quality and flexibility, I love LuxRender.

>>642646
>Enjoy setting up all your shaders again.
I export to similar and it's always such a pain

>>642646
this is fine but it takes time to learn how to do it, as well as how to work around the program you are moving tos shaders

>>642646
for a retarded turd like you probably every renderer looks like shit

what is the name of these hairs ?

>>642730
Classic Long Hair with dForce for Genesis 8 Female(s)

>>642570
Funny that. Months ago I rendered on cpu, and took a weird pleasure into setting my scenes just right and rendering it over several days, setting up everything perfectly and doing it again and again.

Now I have a GTX 1070 and render the same scene in one hour, and I have lost all my drive. It's just not the same. My PC isn't even shutting down because the cpu was too hot anymore. The last time my Windows froze was months ago. My fans don't even go into overdrive. Nowadays I just click on render and voilà, it lost all its luster, all its mystical atmosphere.

>>642641
do they really improve that much over so much time? after 5 minutes I can't see any difference from a 5min render or a 15min render

>>642647
This. LuxRender gets hate because it's slow but good damn the finished images look great, way better than Iray.

>>642842
well nothing stopping you from building a budget PC and enjoying that magic again anon ..... lol

>>642845
file deleted but yes, they do, unless you have eye issues the noise is very obvious an higher res is always nicer to look at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJrLnBDHpcI

>>642845
yes it can improve strongly, in fact it depends of the scene, for example the hairs in this image

>>642861
edit

>>642859
Okay, this is epic.

>>642845
another example: "against day" are very terrible if you don't wait enough time ( "contre jour" in french ). For example I stopped this one after 8 minutes, on the original there is gain everwhere

>>642859
I have this software but I don't have the courage to do all the process

>>642865
>i have this software

its not out yet anon, still in pre-order stage

>>642867
my bad, it was ICLONE I downloaded, same interface.

>>642859
I wait for the cracked version

>>642869
me too, cracked version are less expensive

>>642869
that gfx site and zone will probably have it a day after it releases

Daz is selling it's own bog kit

>>642859
They are doing to DAZ what DAZ did to Poser. lmao

>>642879
Can you give us a quick rundown, anon?

>????
I still have no idea

>>641286
ninja ripper and ps2 emulator.

>>641286
Which version do you want?
There are a few rips in various xnalara groups already.

>>641286
Just use vroid to draw the hair and use blender glb plugin to remove the character and copy the hair to daz figure.

>>642918
sandra bullock ?

>>642940
Oh! Now I see it!

>>642952
I will take it and change the shaping of the mouth

>>642972
and enlarge the neck...
and work on the eyes etc....

>>642918
His Natalie Portman isn't bad after I reworked it and changed the skin.

>>642321
Reworked the shaders and the geometry a bit.

>>641286
I managed to port her model into blender. Lots of textures and normal maps. Would that suffice? Because I really don't want to research porting her to SFM since it's redundant and arbitrary (Blender is my animation tool.)

Does anyone know how to import/convert an sfm model for use in Daz? Seems to be a huge selection of unique sfm monsters compared to Daz (which all look like morphed humans).

>>642859

I wish Daz would just integrate a real time render animation suite into Studio.

>>642882
if they're charging money for the software, they aren't going to succeed.

>>643680
As soon as their software starts updating on a more regular basis than Studio, yes they will.

Is there a way to use Iray render view without my machine becoming unusable? What's the point of a render view if you can barely do anything when it's on?

>>641093
this

>>643134
I hope the same
