[Daz3d? No.410030]

Hello, teapots. I'm looking into using Daz3d for my purposes. What I want to do is prototype a bunch of generic humanoid animations as placeholders for a 2d game, then let artists "paint over" the frames later on. Is this a viable approach?

I would also want to create some basic props with Blender and import them into Daz3d, is this possible without much hassle?

I'm specifically interested in Daz/Blender because they are free and at the current point commercial software is out of the question.

Opinions? Experiences? Alternatives?

Search "Age of Barbarian" on GoG. That's what it will look like.

DAZ3d is free, but if you want to do anything you'll have to purchase most everything to add on.
Poser 9 is similar, and allows you to export, but it requires purchase.

Very good

Daz Studio is very easy to use, and has a bridge to Photoshop and ZBrush which make it very well suited to use with those programs. It's free as well.

But the current generation of figures are tri-ax weighted which means they won't work very well for games. You can convert them to a general weighting but the conversion is now without its own problems.

There is a shit load of paid and free content for Daz Studio. It has a number of import and export options. If you're lucky enough to be able to get Hexagon to work on your computer then it's Hexagon bridge will really make it easy to create your own models for Daz. Hexagon is a really great modelling program even though it's from 2006 and lacks a lot of modern features. The only problem is Daz has no interest (or possibly ability) to upgrade the software.

Their business model relies solely on content sales and to this end their current Genesis 2 generation of figures is designed to give the user a lot less power and flexibility than the Genesis 1 figure and it lets their venders get away with selling the same content twice, for male and female figures.

It's animation tools suck unless you buy a number of plug ins, but most of its user base use it for still renders. The user base is very friendly and supportive.

How difficult is it to make milf cg porn like this with daz3d or whatever ?

[Anonymous No.410959]

>>410953

I'd say about 65% of the CG porn out there is made with Daz (If I see that Sally Mae hair one more freaking time...) the rest is made with Poser (probably using Daz models).

Its not all that hard. what you will need is either the reality plugin to port the scene to luxrender or pony up for octane.

the renderers that come with daz studio and poser suck ass.

how about importing them to max or maya, so I can render her skin with delicious SSS

[Anonymous No.411313]

>>411300

Daz has SSS now. But yes you can port stuff from Daz to Maya.

[Anonymous No.411326]

More like 99% of it. It's ridiculous.

Even people who use Maya are using Daz for porn simply because it's faster to work with and in the 3D porn business time=money.

The only way to make money in 3D porn is to either crank out animated shorts like a mad cunt or crank out a shit load of fetish renders. That's why you see a lot of the Daz porn rendered in OpenGL without lighting. If you have to pose and render hundreds of scenes a week in order to make money ain't nobody got time for shadows.

Now I desperately want to see a documentary about the fast-paced, dangerous world of 3D pornography.

[Anonymous No.411549]

>>411343
Nah, I think that's just because they are lazy and would rather make OK money by doing lots of shitty work, instead of making lots of money doing high quality work. There are a few artists both 2D and 3D who are taking the quality route these days and becoming very popular because of it.

You only have a week to profit off your work. After a week it'll be pirated on every porn site on the internet. The only way to make money is to have constant output so that by the time it's been pirated your subscribers will have new content. Pick a bizarre fetish that few people cater to and exploit the fuck out of it.

All popular 2D/3D porn sites have their shit uploaded to sharing sites within hours of release these days.

Not that popular artists on dlsite or whatever don't reach thousands of downloads each anyways.

To be honest, I prefer the poser animation setup (which uses a traditional dope sheet) to the Daz setup (AniMATE, which is just horrible)

[Anonymous No.412315]

its pratty good tho

[Anonymous No.412333]

>>412190

Animate is really only meant to be used to play ani-blocks other people have made. In order to actually create your own ani-blocks you'd need Animate 2, Graphmate, and Keymate. Puppet Master and Power Pose are the other two built in posing and animating tools that are pretty good in Daz.

For a bizarre fetish, do giantess. It's really hard to find stuff that was done well.

For good reason.
What are you going to do, animate Nitrotitan's Snack.swf?

A lot of the appeal in giantess is that there are lots of fluids everywhere. From inside the mouth to down the esophagus and out the pooper.

It all makes sense, and it's fucking awful.
