The face still looks really bad but better than the other one. What's with this garbage color scheme you seem to want to force into these?

>>730607
>>730469
Serious question, what are you trying to do? Render a transsexual in different scenarios? Is that your own face? No judging man. That's fine if that's what make you tick.

I'm even impressed by how you did it. Did you transfer a male head morph into a female gen, or did you painstakingly tweak the right morphs? Or did you take a photo of yourself and use a facegen? Either way it's really well done.

If the hair isn't supposed to be a wig, use brow remover + some third party brows to make the brows and hair match. In my own experience, it can be really distracting.

>>730607
Gross.

>>730726
fuck off and lurk more those trannypics have been posted since 2019 holy shit its not his render imagine replying to this

>>730731
Ouch, I touched a nerve. Is it your transsexual renders? You don't need to be so angry, I wasn't dismissing your work. I was just trying to be patient and accepting of new community talents. Either way, your face has a feminine charm, I like it.

Have you tried transitioning in real life instead of doing it in Daz?

>>730737
Ok now I'm convinced you are making these look ugly on purpose. Nice memeing.

>>730741
>>730737
Far better. You're improving every day. Good luck!

Why are you naming it Contra, though? Is it, like, a Spanish word? Counter, or something?

>>730737
I like the concept of him sucking her penis but if you really want to catch the spirit of Sweden, make any of them black.

>>730776
Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP will be worth its weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

>>730780
Sweden is covered in dense forest with multiple paper mills anon, we can wipe our butts to the end of days no matter how much TP people hoards, not bragging about our vast toiletpaper reserves.. just stating a fact.

Why people hoard TP of all things I will never understand. It's like we live in a computer animated cartoon.

>>730780
>The average person uses 1 roll per day.
How fat are American asses really?

>>730780
>The average person uses 1 roll per day

This is potentially true in north america where a lot of people are so obese that they can no longer reach around with their arm to wipe their own butthole.
Most people don't know about it but what such morbidly fat fucks actually do is they construct a 'paper saddle' on the rim of the toilet seat and
then grind their asscrack there in an attempt to clean it.

Naturally this consumes magnitudes of TP compared to a regular person who'll last a week if not more on a single roll.
Also most of the field-craft methods for rectal hygiene employed by normal people whenever TP is unavailable falls outside
of the performance envelope of lardos.

I theorize that the origin in the TP hoarding is the fatsos panicking at the prospect of being completely unable to clean their ass.
Then the problem is compounded when the stupid people see this behavior and mimics it, because as a stupid person that is simply how you survive;
You don't know what the fuck is going on, you're stupid, so you just run in the direction of the herd to stay safe.

cute elf, would like to see you post more

I am close to giving up on ever successfully importing DAZ models into Blender intact. The moment you throw geografts into the mix, everything goes wrong. Tried diffeomorphics since it seems to be the only one that plays nice with G3 characters. Christ. This is so much ridiculous effort

Is it worth updating DAZ? im on 4.12
A few months ago I saw a video from thunderhorn, I didnt watch it, but he was claiming there was some big problem with a recent daz update so i didnt update since (also havent used it much since anyway)

so yeh, safe to update yet or nah?

>>730873
wat

Anyone tried exporting multiple geografts before? I mean something like the futalicious with roasty add-on. A Geograft on another geograft

>>731006
Ye

why is the DAZ lighting always so fucking weird?

>>731040
Weird in what way?
Iray is pretty straight forward and similar to other programs in it's use.

I am trying to make this character but having a hard time nailing the clothing. Anyone of you seen anything similar? Searched shit like "fantasy bikini" "skull bikini" "mistress outfit" didnt really find shit

>>731053

>>731053
>>731055
Here is a quick render to show what I am have rn

>>731053
>>731055
>>731056
Odd, I was just thinking of doing the same. Most of her appearances, at lease in the original runs were a pretty basic swimsuit, just with mini skulls on them. You could probably match that easily and just parent scaled skulls to various body parts.
Something wicked for GF3 might do for one of her infamous swimsuits, at least the bra part. Forgive the face.

>>731059
Thanks a lot, something wicket would deff cover the bikini bit. I think capturing the black-blue shade mix would be hard. What’s frustrating is I’ve seen her exact gloves somewhere, the type that are long and extend to one finger. Just can’t remember where

What is the hair on your lady death? If you could mirror it so it’s long on top on both sides it would be pretty accurate

>>731068
The hair is a freebie from zoro-d on renderosity.
Perhaps the gloves from Mistress Lilith GF2?

This was part of a MILF game I was making, but I dropped it. I realized how much I hated making visual novel games. The result of combining Unreal Engine 4 and Daz was pretty good tho.

>>731055
I'm pretty sure this artist is actually using Daz models to trace over.

>>731059
>>731068
>>731092
The undies are probably custom

>>731089
Are VN games easy to make in UE4
I like making daz but i hate playing VNs personally, i know they are popular though
What are some good ones?

Geograft merging is completely borked in recent versions.
Back then it was fine, now it fucks up weights and some shapekeys get lost after merging.

>>731069
>>731092
>>731152
Thanks guys, getting pretty close based on the recommendations. Now just need to attach skulls. She deff needs a cape but Im wondering if I should, they always get messed up when I load poses

Any reason why iray viewport stutters so much in 4.12? It was buttery smooth in 4.11

>>731170
Go back to an older version

>>731092
I actually thought those ARE models with just some filter on top. Definitely not drawn (looks like shit compared to handdrawn imo.)

>>731089
Personally I'd use Ren'py if I tried to do a VN. It's more or less the standard for amateur VNs, has a huge community, is in python and easy to use, and you don't need to reinvent the wheel as you would if you went lower level. It's basically what everyone does in the western community, not that it's always a proof of anything, mind.

Using UE 4 for a VN is like using a waterjet cutter to cut bread. You can do it. It's rather unwieldy. Plain better to use the right tool for the job.

>>730817
It's just a collection of pixels and sliders, Jim. You can't marry a collection of pixels and sliders.

>>731033
So uh.. how? And to what?

>>731171
Ok I think Im done with it now, looks close enough. Maybe find a new cape because this is red on both ends and the back side needs to be black

>>731203
>dazlets cannot change colors of objects
Damn, I didn't know the program was this limiting.

>>731207
Im pretty sure it can, Im just new to it. The problem is the front and back are connected so if I change the front colour it also changes the back colour

>>730737
>contrapoints getting ate out by the golden god

jesus fucking christ

>>731153
if you're gonna make a VN but you don't know code you're better using something like ren'py or rpg maker

both are easy as hell

I want to enter my 3d COOMER era, how do I start? Is daz3d totally free? clothing is all free? what's the best coomer workflow?

>>731778
No nothing is free

do you guys know if there's something like this for daz (the cow ears)

>>731772
Why are you gay? Why are you projecting?

>>731778
It’s all free, in about 2 days of downloading the program you’ll find some sites. If you want to coom, you can do it in two days. First month you’ll just be coming to your shitty low quality bad light renders and then you’ll slowly learn and by the third month of casual playing around with the program you’ll be making better stuff. But it will be the same coom and overtime you will tire of the program because your brain seeks more and more dopamine

>>731875
Coomer degeneracy is limitless with 3D apps and imagination. You can always attach more dicks, arms, whatever. Disable all limits. Disengage safety protocols.

why is there no sfm thread in /3/? I want to ask how long it might take to learn

If I wanted to add blush to models, whats the best way?

Theres no plugins that allow simple painting right?
At the moment I do it in post but I feel like it would be cooler if i could do it on the model in daz before the render

>>731919
Blender layer painter or bpainter

3dcoat

Armor paint

Geoshells?: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/92506/blushing-characters-possible

why isnt there any good old men hair?
its a fucking joke, every old man i make has to either be bald or look like they have some ridiculous wig on

>>731919
LIE, or geoshells. For simple blush? LIE. If you do it in post already it'd trivial to add a LIE layer with your blush painting.

>>731957
What is LIE?
I have seen it used in some plugins

Is it hard to create your own?

>>731962
Layered Image Editor. It's a built-in function of daz. It allows you to put textures on top of each others. Like tattoos on top of skin textures, lipsticks on top of lip textures, or, yes, blushes. Or freckles.

Now google it. It's the most trivial stuff.

>>731962
you literally double click on a lie thing and it puts an image on top of your texture. Like freckles, makeup, tattoos. In the content library it usualy has "layered" written on top of it. Just search everything for L.I.E. or lie. And see if you have some stuff already. I know i do because i hoard shit like a mother fucker.

Can any of you recommend me a good black girl model? I’m trying to make pic related but it takes about 2 pages of white people to find a black girl and even then it’s a weird face with over exaggerated features

>>731927

Aside from all the usual from Daz itself. What are your first third party asset installs?

I generally make sure to install gens from renderotica and tiddy/ass morphs too.

It's DAZ all of them have exaggerated facial features. You can get morphs to tone them down to your liking.

Yeah, I dunno what's this all about. I started with Gen3 (well, Gen1 back when I was 12 years old, but really started with Gen3), and all my Gen3 figures, with minimal competence born from being a thirsty fuck, all looked good.

Now I know everything about almost everything, routingly texture my own stuff, do some fluid sim in blender for cum and milk, can model half-way decently, and yet making a Gen8 that looks good is sixteen times the work I did when I just posed some girls being raped.

What did go wrong?

Is there any tutorials on how to make clothes for daz characters in blender and etc cheers.

>>733235
sicklyield has one I believe.

Fit control doesnt work for me on gen8 males. Script runs, then nothing happens.
Works fine on Gen8 females, script runs then get the popup it worked fine.

Workaround at the moment by fitting the clothes to a gen8 female, running fit control to add the morphs then deleting her and fitting the clothes back to the gen8 male but this is cumbersome.

Anyone know why this is happening?

I'm familiar enough in blender, but the daz tools feel very unintuitive.

Yes. I'm using DaztoBlender 2.8 and it's doing a fantastic job at bringing in things from daz, rigged and all

Needs some help when it comes to saving custom made clothing assets.

So for example I got a matching dress, hat, and two socks.

Most videos say you should save as a support asset, but then I can only save one. I want the socks saved as one asset. The only way I see to do it is use save as wearables. But why wouldn't I just do that for all of them?
Also I want to save the whole set together too,
Am I supposed to mix it up? Why do all tutorials save stuff as support assets when that doesn't seem to do multiple items.

Do I do it via grouping work while they are parented to various parts?

You may need access to the approved vendor HD morphs.

I'm trying to export a daz figure into blender, with morphs as shape keys. I did it successfully in the past, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore.
What I do is export as a 2012 binary .fbx, check Morphs in the export options, and in the Morph Export Rules add all the morphs I want baked or as an export. Those that I chose as baked, are correctly baked into the figure. Those that I chose export (so that they are transformed into shape keys) are not exported.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Or how to succesfully export morphs into blender?

>>734878
Disregard this post, it works.
For some reason my shortcut to Blender pointed to an old version that didn't import .fbx properly.

>>734861
You can fake it using zbrush, blender's or 3d-coat sculpting tools or just using sqiuish morphs daz has on their website.
Dforce should also be able to do what you want.

DForce newb here. Is there a way to utilize this feature to create clothing that is a tad too small? Similar to the prior request above with the thighs. There's this slinky item for Genesis 3 that adds morphs for it and it's fucking hot. What's the best way to create that for other items?

>>734920
From the forums:

"Daz Studio does not really have a shrinkwrap function.

But there are something that migth work. If you apply dforce and set contradiction-expansion to a value below 100. If the area you want shrinked has its own surface setting you can apply it just for that.

You could also apply a push modifier with a negative value.

Both options can be fine tuned with weigthmaps."

>>734924
I think breastacular works like that. Thanks!

Are there any mini coopers available for Daz Studio? I've found some low poly cars I can convert from xnalar/xps but they are very low res geo/texture.

Daz is still my favorite waifu program, but why can't I bring my waifu to life inside DAZ? What is it about this program that makes it suck so bad at real time animation?

WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with the glass on this car?

>>734958
Something with the UV map I guess? Previous photo is after applying an iray shader. This one is mostly default with opacity and glossy options changed.

>>734985
rendering on my computer*

>>734979
yeh, it should be simple though
you can just isolate the glass then export that, fix it then reimport and parent it to the car again

cos its a static object it should be an easy fix
yes its to do with the UVs, in blender just open it, add another loop in the middle and then just project from view, good enough for some glass, then put back in daz


>>734986
Yeh sure, its more about if you are ok leaving it on overnight or not.
You probably cant make money off it if you cant shit out good renders quick but if you learn how to optimize your scenes, you should have more than good overnight renders.

I mean, if you have a weak computer, don't try to fully dress up 4 characters in your scene and render them all in a detailed environment and expect your render to be complete even in 12hours.

Start with 1920x1080 scenes, see how long it takes.
Get some good HDRI's and see how long a single clothed character takes. Then try with some 3 point lighting. Compare. Then try two characters, then add an environment.

First time doing anything with daz
this is pretty fun

>>735031
Do you have ur graphics card checked in render settings

I have a 960m on a laptop with 16gb ram and I regularly can do scenes with 2-3 characters
Something else is wrong

Verify gpu is selected in render settings, also that your scene is using up less memory than what your GPU has. Else it will fallback to cpu.

>>735014
nope, i pirate most of my shit and only buy the good ones and you can also find great freebies on sites like deviantart or renderosity.

>>735055
I do that with separate libraries. Sometimes some pirated product will have something that fucks up morphs. Those sit in QUARANTINE library for testing or until I buy it if it's worth it.

The pro bundle outfits are fucking awful. Straight up V4 level of detail with random iray shaders.

So when converting from Daz to Blender, as anyone found a way to make subsurface scattering work? Do I have to make my own maps for that?

>>735354
You should be able to do that with the node editor in blender. Setup shader materials etc.

>>735253

>>735080

They are called canvases in Daz, very straightforward but there are many videos on them.

You can render elements seperalty, so you can do the background, char 1, char 2, then just put them together in your image editing software of choice.

I don't use it much, personally. But it's great if you find you are crashing during renders, it won't speed up things for you though. I mean like,
For example for me a 4k scene with a not too complex background environment and two characters, it might take me 8-12 hours overnight if it's lit properly to get to 2000+ iray iterations. Which is more than enough.

If I was to split them up with canvases, the background will probably be much quicker but the two characters would still be a few hours each, and personally I don't like setting caps on iray iterations, as I like to check the render before finishing it, so I'd need to constantly check back each character and wouldn't be able to let it go overnight.

Does that make sense?

You never tried to render a harem of 19+ girls.

Even with scene optimizer there is a limit to the number of harem slave you can render on an excellent up-to-date gpu. In my own experience, zometimes you REALLY need to canvases to get your 30 people harem.

>>735645
Don't joke. The same stuff on turbosquid would be $299.

You can laugh all you like, but in term of price, the Daz community is almost ridiculously cheap. Almost unbelievably so.

can you actually make money with high quality daz porn animations

>>736415
Daz has a crappy animation package, so no.
Also, the time it'd take you to learn detail animation to the degree you'd be making "high quality porn animations" will not be worth it from a money perspective.
Like, if you're actually curious about this, look up "LordAardvark" online. The guy has a stream on picarto. He works on sfm, but the animation work is the same. Look up his patreon, and then compare to the grueling work he does on stream.
Figure out if that sounds worth it.

>>736415
Assuming you need high quality porn to make money. I've seen people make thousands with shitty daz slideshows

>>736415
Daz is shit at animation, so no.

Daz models are very often imported in blender in order to make what the cool kid nowadays call "SFM" animations, for some bizarre historic reason when it's blender all the way down, except the models, which are Daz's. But it's tiresome, and getting good at it means spending 1000+ hours fixing the smallest detail.

You can, though, make money by just rendering still pictures. Just find a fetish with a dedicated fanbase, then look as you make small waves in an even smaller pond and get doughs.

I personally recommend giantess (big amount of doughs circulating there), mind controlled supherheroine (firmly established community), furies (the furies are always willing to pay), guro (but only if you can really render lifelike corpses), and extreme BDSM. Ah, and of course the master of them all, futa. Futa has more doughs in the community than all other community together, but the competition is starting to become really steep.

>>735313
>random iray shaders
It''s so they can sell you the texture packs later. Also some of the Content makers use texture maps that look like pic related and use jumbled UV maps to make it harder to make your own textures in Photoshop. This raging fagotry is why I pirate everything.

>>736433
not sure what you mean with random there but
that texture looks like it's made in substance or something similar due to the weird lines that arent actually part of the texture that goes anywhere, poor as fuck use of space tho

I'm a bit concerned that I'm having so much fun posing and framing cute girls

What's your lighting setup? Just a dome light?

>>736499
>pick HDRI that gives decent results with the materials you already have
>rotate dome until shadows and highlights are nice
>tweak materials if necessary

The HDRIs I use have two or three bight areas on a dark-ish solid-color background (pic related), which essentially results in portrait 3 point lighting

that's it pretty much

might as well post an example hdri instead of trying to explain it

>>736497
which character is this?

>>736504
>>736508
Hm, I think you should research some proper setups, like real 3 or 4 point lighting. Your character could use some rim lighting to separate from the background and some fill to soften the face.

>>736497
You just went into a Crocodile Liu shopping spree, did you?

Can't really fault that.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you told me that the daz animation capabilities are utter shit

>>736433
The my could certainly have used more space on the map but aside from that, what do you think is wrong with it?
The dilation on the map is the default export option from substance painter, it literally means nothing.
If your issue is its too hard for you to mask to make your own, why not just import it in blender to get the UV shell if it wasn't included then export that to use as a mask?

What's the problem with the forehead here? This happens with a few hairs but only with some poses.

>>737126
It was definitely the "cap" Just had to change the value a little bit so it didn't clip so much with the forehead. Odd looking error.

>>737126
Looks like a "memory optimization" problem to me.

For some reason, on some archs, when the optimization is set to "memory" inside the iray rendering tab shitty stuff happens with hairs and LIEs. Set it to "speed".

>>737166
I changed it from auto to speed and it reduced it quite a lot. This and expanding the cap seem to work best.

>>737363
This bug has been here for something like four years. The "memory" optimization will mess with LIEs, geoshells, hair caps, and emissive surfaces, but only some LIEs, geoshells, hair caps, and emissive surfaces, and only in some poses.

A good thing to do is to disable it by default.

>>730275
Slightly noobish question but what is the most optimal way to swap a head with a daz model e.g. genesis etc?

Lets say I have a model I want to tear off its head from another and put it on a daz body? I get the gist of it with textures DAZ seems a bit different. One of my friends told me I'm over complicating myself if I remove and swap the heads, is there actually an easier way?

>>737704
This is your average daz render really. I'm sure the body is a roided bimbo with camo bikini and 8 inch spiked heels.

How hard would it be to make Genesis 2 model look like a World of Warcraft character?

>>737704

>>737741
>8 inch spiked heels
FFS i'm not one of those retards that complains about high heels but this has been going on since the V4 days. We most definitely have enough spike heel shoes on the market. And an equal amount of no heel flat fucking things as well. Can a mother fucker with a platform shoe/clog fetish get a fucking hard on too? And yes I know they exist have all 5 of them.

How do I create animations in Daz? The timeline editor in 4.11 and lack of in depth tutorials make me want to pull out my eyeballs. Also any way to reduce the time taken to render animations in Iray? I'm throwing 3 1080s at it(not in sli) and it still takes a long ass time.

Completely new user.
Is there a way to delete the model/actor/whatever but keep their clothes -exactly- as they were? As in, just keep floating clothes in the same pose?
I know you can hide the model, but I'm interested in exporting just the clothes.

>>738305
Export to app of your choice and setup materials again.

Is it just me or does the UI suck? It doesn't seem to follow any conventions

>>738443
It's awful. Just moving shortcuts around is obtuse as hell.

>>738399
The clothes are parented to the model, so they get deleted along with it.
You CAN unparent them and they stay after you delete the figure, but I don't know if that would fuck up your export.

Thats pretty close.

Damn, Breastacular is good, but avoid the breast morphs. The movement/position morphs and the collision system are good, but as to actually shape the breasts naturally, use literally any other morphs you have. Breastacular is compatible with those, and you won't have bizarre torpedo tits on your figure.

>animation iray render times
what the fuck
direct blender bridge for real time rendering when

I need some guidance. Was doing test render on the Storm I made. The colour on her suit was too washed out so I bumped the exposure from 13 to 14. Which got me pic related. But now if I put another character into the scene, it'll mess with their look.

So what settings should I adjust to make the suit look less bright on it's own, without relying on the exposure setting? Messed with the glossy settings, and the making the color a duller white. Didnt work out

>>739838

The diffuse map is probably crap. Adjust it in photoshop.

Why is the default female 6 feet tall and has manjaw and manshoulders?

>>738399
One tip iv leaned in Daz is to make use of groups. For example I export a lot to MD to Sim then use the morphs, so what I usually have is the model in a group, scene shit like lights in a group and cameras in a group and environments in a group.
Then when I need to export something to Sim, I pose the model, unparent the clothing piece I wanna simulate (if I wanna do multiple I go one by one), hide everything else, export, do the Sim, refit the clothing to the model, unhide stuff morph loader pro and done.

One thing that gets in the way of this is strand based hair. Cos it's new it's for some reason quite finicky so unless you know what your doing, don't play around with the group's it's in otherwise it will start to transform weird. Just make sure you hide them.
