Many characters seem to have very dry skin materials regardless of the lighting setups and presets I've used. This seems mostly from forender characters and totocandy. How would I go about adjusting this? They characters do have spec and glossy maps for the most part but adjusting the values makes little difference in rendered view.

- Conversion of images to Genesis poses
- Intuiting animations from poses
- Face transfer that actually works

How can I get sharper images?
Even when I focus the camera properly, or even turn the DOF off completely, I still can't get a really sharp image. Maybe the idea is to render at super-high resolutions, like 8K for example, and then reduce the original image to full HD or something? Or maybe there's some camera operation I'm not using properly? Letting too much light into its virtual shutter or some shit?

[Anonymous No.980343]

>>980337
post example

[Anonymous No.980367]

>>980337
changing the pixel filter radius in your render settings can have an impact in the sharpness a bit. The default is set to 1.5, setting it lower will sharpen the image a bit. If you're looking for hard sharpness that is seen in a lot of Daz renders these days, that will have to be done in postprocessing.

want to get into daz3d (or some other character modeling program), watched a few tutorials but still don't understand the overall usage, specifically when it comes to body types. Are you able to fully make your own body/character on your own WITHOUT dumping money in the asset store? Or are these programs inherently useless without heavy usage of an asset store. My initial thinking was that these programs were akin to a more advanced character creator from a video game, a body with dozens of sliders for reshaping various body sections and that bought characters are just easy ways to get to a specific body type WITHOUT tweaking every little customization, but at first glance that doesn't seem to be the case(?).

Is there a way to make daz transfer utility to do not change the position of the shoes I modeled on blender?

I autistically modeled a pair of short boots and made fit perfectly to the feet of my model but Daz insist in slightly changing the position of the boots. I didn't autistically modeled the slight diagonal and heel position for daz to just decide to fuck my auti... perfectionism.

I'm thinking it just would be easier to just parent the boots without autofit, have rigged boots on blender, use the position of the daz boots to position the rigged boots, then just make slight adjustments. I compose in blender anyway.

Yeah, I guess that helps a bit, but really, super-sharp images don't seem to be possible, probably because the resolution of the textures of the objects, skin, hair, etc., also impacts the final result.

G9 is "bad" because it adds nothing to the table but was an attempt to stay relevant and try and compete with the "Direct to UE5/blender" pipeline.
Also the topology is bad for female bodies.
That being said it does have some advantages like a unified mesh between sexes and great for doing humaniod creatures.
Also the massive library of characters and assets made for genesis 8 are now somewhat obsolete while genesis 9 have still very little content. This could have been easily rectified by having a conversion tool from gen8 -> gen9 for characters and clothes but that was not ready by launch (not even sure there is one now).

[Anonymous No.981698]

>>981675
it has a unified mesh for male and female characters which means there's no mesh topology for the nipples so you have to use geografts which have to be massive to fully replace the tits with g8 style topology

For some reasons some very, very tame Pixiv artists were b&n earlier this year (and later this previous years). Most have no idea why. We're talking as tame as Ganseki.

While some absurdly disgusting guro loli Daz artists were still allowed on the platform. No one has no idea why. The answer from pixiv is more or less "violating our policy", without telling what policy.

It is theorized that "good" (aka lifelike) Daz artists were banned, because they approach the quality of photorealism, while "bad" guro loli rapists were not, because no photorealism while they murder and eat loli, but literally no one knows why.

If you're "good" and only do vaguely underdressed pinup you're fine tho.

why are the default g9 normal maps so fucking flat? there's no curvature of the mesh in them at all they're basically just skin detail textures

[Anonymous No.982339]

is there a guide to converting daz characters with diffeomorphic to blender for use with mustardui?

[Anonymous No.982342]

>>982321
easy answer is that because G9 suck
longer answer is that curvature detail driven completely through HD morphs and subdiv and only micro detail is stored in normals. Which makes G9 suck for low poly stuff ofc.

It was an image set featuring a character from a porn VN. They wanted more of her. It ended up being about 30 different images. Told a little story. I don't want to boast too much, but I get told my stuff doesn't look like DAZ, which is probably the highest, albeit, back handed compliment one can get. I do allot of custom morphs using Marvelous designer and Zbrush so clothing and skin aren't so static.

There's allot of money in the VN market. I've seen 50 to 80 dollar commissions routinely go to people using Koikatsu and Honey Select ONE.

Why does the damned transfer utility insist on messing up my mesh!? On the left is my mesh after the transfer utility, and on the right is how it should look. It took me a lot of effort to model the symmetric pants I wanted, and then DAZ specifically screws up the symmetry of my model. The pants are modeled over my morphed character with "reverse source shape from target" on. I also modeled the same pair of pants from scratch on the base model. It works on the base model, but it gets messed up when I apply it to my morphed figure.

Things I already tried:

>Triangulated mesh, mesh with only perfect quads, merging vertices at various distances. Mesh exported with groups, mesh exported without groups.
>All kinds of combinations of settings in the transfer utility dialogue.
>Using the original .OBJ as a morph.
>Exporting the original .OBJ from DAZ, then importing it and using it as a morph.
>Exporting the messed-up mesh to Blender, correcting the messed-up vertices, importing to DAZ, and using it as a morph.
>Dialing all hidden morphs to zero.
>Setting the pose to zero, setting the pose of the pants to zero.
>Setting the resolution to base (It crashes the program every single time when I try to apply the transfer utility).

All of this either does nothing or messes up everything even more. I don't know what else to try other than rig the pants myself.

Please halp.

[Anonymous No.983702]

well ironically you need to add a lot more light sources as you cant rely on bounces to fill up the scene. So think like the angle you want and then where you want the darkness / shadows. Then add soft lighting to about 3/4 of the entire 360 angle. That way you only have one hard angle of complete darkness.
if you look at these Mass Effect renders they are really not that dark. Its more the tone.

Using my original .OBJ as a morph and dialing all hidden morphs to zero fixed the symmetry issue, but now the pants don't fit. A smoothing modifier at a high number just messes up everything, and playing with the scale also doesn't work.

So, maybe is not the bones after all.

Honestly. I made this almost impossible to light scenario. It's a small Japanese 1K1R apartment, lights off at night, and there's a slight volume. So any Ghost light I throw in is lit up with the volume, AND, you can see the stacking shadows lining the walls no matter how big and soft I make the lights. It doesn't help that I'm working with a black character AND a white character. I've been taking stabs at it for months and came up with a janky solution. All that said, I think my end result is serviceable, but just having a better eye for lighting is the better talent.
