How time consuming are we talking here? Give me a ball-park estimate as a start. My main goal for doing this is because I would want to make character models that people haven't made or possibly even thought of making and freely distribute them to the masses for people to use and enjoy, while utilizing any sort of donation system so people can show support if they want. How hard would that be to accomplish for a person effectively starting from step one, with poor artistic ability?

if you have no skills right now (drawing, art, game modding or so anything) then it will take you a long time to create something good.
I would start small and do some props like tables, stools and such. Then when you understand how to build up models, UV, texture and so on then you can move to more complex objects.
But before you end up creating human models it will take some time and a lot of commitment. You can do it but just be honest with yourself that you need to stop playing so much video games / watch series and spend all that time learning 3D/2D instead.

Or you could rip and steal 3D models from games and such and just make them work with genesis 8. That isnt hard but then you can make anything new / unique ofc.

Something I definitely find shit though is that you can't set HDRI map light and HDRI map as background independently. As soon as my model has SSS in it I need a ton more light which then really blows out the details in the HDRI map which is fucking annoying.
>then just use additional spot lights
That's what I do in renders I want to look ok but still, usually I'd be 100% okay with HDRI lighting only and also using it as background.

Anonymous at Thu, 2 Jun 2022 13:54:31 UTC No. 900981

there is ways to setup that correctly in Iray. But an easy fix will simply be to do the render without the HDRI map as background. And then just render the HDRI background as a separate element with the correct brightness. Rendering that background should take less than 1 min.
>then just use additional spot lights
sure I use mostly spotlights because I like the control. HDRIs are great if you want to just quickly have a decent lighting setup or want to match something to an actual photo.

Subsurface scattering. You know how when you put a flashlight against your hand or fingers or ear or whatever you can see some light go through it but not all of it? It means your skin and flesh aren't completely rough/opaque surfaces - they're a little bit transparent, and light should be able to go through it at least a little bit, especially on the parts of the body where the skin is thinner. That's why you use subsurface scattering on the skin or other semi-translucent items such as clothing or glass.

>>900994
Name changes depending on the software, but translucent weight sounds to me more like how much light passes through the entire object - 0 being completely matte and 1 being completely transparent.

SSS functions more in percentage. Let's say you have a surface with SSS - depending on the percentage, light will gradually penetrate the surface more or less, but never fully. The more light pierces, the thicker the material becomes - the harder it becomes for light to continue piercing through. This gives the effect of more light penetrating on the sides of the object and less light penetrating through the "center" of the object, since it is thicker there.

but.... the hair....
>Polybloat hair 2022 (looks good but what the fuck) comes in at 167k polys
So that single hair takes up 75% of the entire amount of polys. You can have 5 genesis 8 in your scene for this single piece of hair.
Only way to use premade none strand based hairs in DAZ is to export them to Maya/Blender/Max can actually "finish" them. You can cut 80% of the polys in that hair and you wont even be able to tell the difference zoomed in...

2060 master race! I used a 2060 super 8GB to do 90% of my 3D stuff. Only recently I got a hold of a better GPU but that is mainly because I need more VRAM and the performance for rendering is maybe 30-35% faster. Not something I feel that much. But the extra ram make is so I can squeeze 2x the amount of characters in a scene.
If you have seen any of my NSFW gobbo stuff then ALL that was made on a 2060 super (and the rest of the PC was from 2014 so the 2060 was the newest and best part by far).
Sure having lower / med range hardware forces you to optimize and think about what you are doing but it will also teach you way more.

That's not polycount, retard. That's textures. Textures are easily solved: just use scene optimizer, like literally every able brained person in the earth.

>>901041
Mostly, polycount doesn't matter, because Daz use subdiv, which means Daz will increase your polycount by literally mathematical factors if you increase that, and then stretch your shaders usage by literal factors if you use that, too. That's what's meant by "HD". The Gen 8 model is actually really conservative going by polycount alone (20,000? Something like that), a little bit much too conservative in fact, as the people that made the transition from Gen3 and Gen8 would say, but then you dial that little fibble stick fibbler and you use *8 time the same VRAM.

First rule of not exploding in RAM: Use scene optimizer, like a sane person, and it's solved.

Second rule of not exploding in RAM: don't subdiv, and certainly not subdiv into the 4th, or worse, 5th dimension, you absolute fool.

Then you can think about using things like instances and whatnot, which doesn't really solve the problem, not if you use a lot of them.

>is that just a case of using scene optimizer
No. Scene optimizer for DAZ is a great script and tool to quickly just lower the heavy use of massive textures (better to do it manually but does take far more time). Scene optimizer is best for background and stuff not in focus where it matters little how rough it is.
Also it can tell you about subdiv levels in your scene so you can remove crash subdiv levels for stuff where it is not need (99% of your scene).
If you want to optimize your models and assets then download something like Gimp and Blender for free. In Gimp reformat and resize every single texture to something optimized for VRAY (look up documentation if in doubt).
In blender you can then decimate or retop your models so they are not so damn heavy.

well for most things yes. Dont try FBX from Blender to DAZ so stick to objs or use the plugin DAZ / blender bridge (I dont use that but it should work well).
If you want to import rigging or advanced stuff from blender to DAZ then you have to go through another 3D suit to make it work (for me blender is just too modern and new for old DAZ). I mostly use Maya and there are zero issue going from Maya to DAZ or from DAZ to Maya. In the future hopefully DAZ and Blender will work as seamless.
>How do I tweak the PBR Skin shader to get better results than pic related?
add some noise to the reflections and the roughness. Work on your normals and bumps so they are not so evenly spread. And last remember that lighting is 50% of the look of a model. Check movies and photos and how they use lighting and from which angles (backlit is an old favorite of films).
But I would say that your render looks good already. And what I would change would purely be subjective.

your biggest problem with the 2060 will always be your VRAM amount. Rendering times I always found pretty good and vastly better than CPU rendering. Just be aware that if you want to build complex scene with more than 4 characters then you need to really think and optimize your stuff or it wont fit on those 6 gigs of VRAM.

I would add some more detail to the cloth. Just to break up those very smooth even surfaces.
Maybe add some colour to her face (ears, nose, cheeks and around the eyes could use some red from the thinner skin and blood beneath).
As for the hair I would colour the roots a more dark brown/black colour to show how its dyed hair.

Daz Studio is by far the most retarded piece of shit when it comes to animating, holy shit.
I have never ever seen something this idiotic before. The way it puts keyframes automatically (and you can't turn that shit off FOR LITERALLY NO REASON) is incredibly infuriating.
I kinda enjoy making characters in it, posing them etc. Thought it would be neat to make some idle animations since with animate2 you could THEORETICALLY non-destructively throw some animations at your model to make it come "alive". Turns out the people at Daz are absolutely pants on head retarded. The amount of workarounds you have to come up with to cope with bugs and idiotic retardation is mindblowing.
>creates keyframes automatically, you can't turn this off
>you can't inverse your keyframes selection
>you can't search for nodes to quickly get there, you HAVE to sift through the thousands of nodes or click on the model in the general area to get kinda close to the parameters/node you want to get but then your selection is GONE
>transferring keyframes from the timeline to animate2 makes you lose your interpolation type (constant not supported by animate2)

I could go on and on.
I seriously wanted this to work since exporting shit back and forth between software isn't worth it for some quick idling animations but with retardation like that it's also not worth it to deal with this shit. I'll just pretend Studio doesn't have animation capabilities at all. Holy fuck what a monstrous pile of steaming diarrhea.

Tell me some tips and tricks to optimize my stuff, please?
I know reduce the textures size in half is the most impactful one could do, but what if I keep the same resolution, but run the textures through a size reduction software, like FsResizer, this way it will cut down the size on disk of the textures significantly. Will it help much? Or should I just stick with resolution reduce?

>I know reduce the textures size in half is the most impactful one could do
no it isnt. It tend to be the best you can do if you are limited by memory but texture sizes does not matter that much for actual render times (for most things). Also a lot of people underestimate the amount of drag on memory really high poly and subdivs actually add on top of the exponential higher render times.
Starting with optimizing the textures is a sure great first step and nearly always the best you can do.
>what if I keep the same resolution, but run the textures through a size reduction software, like FsResizer, this way it will cut down the size on disk of the textures significantly
if you compress an image you loss quality and increase errors. That said you can go pretty wild with compression depending on the image. I would suggest you load the textures in something like photoshop first and test how far you can go without losing too much data by compression. Reducing the resolution can be seen as just another form of compression and sometimes its the most effective. There is no "this is always the best route to take" but there are two main approaches:
- Split all textures into important and not important and then go heavy on compression on the not so important. Then delete unused channels on images and use black/white images to drive most things (roughness, bump and so on) by not saving the textures in RGB 8bit.
- Save all textures into as few images as possible (how you make video games). Make heavy use of the colour channels and the alpha and use shaders to reuse the same texture but in a different way over and over again. Here you can also compress if you really want to squeeze out all the memory performance you can get (think of a modern video AAA game and how they can have so many 4k assets on screen in real time).
>Will it help much? Or should I just stick with resolution
reducing the image size will help with memory use. Reducing the resolution also helps.

Is there a "rule" about this or should I do whatever seems best at the time?

Anonymous at Thu, 9 Jun 2022 03:32:32 UTC No. 902288

Is there any way to have a light only interact with a character and not with anything in the background?
I feel like setting up 3 point light setups in indoor environments is a bit of a hassle with tweaking the lights so that they don't cast too many shadows all over the place and don't overexpose certain parts of the image sometimes. But maybe I'm approaching this wrong to begin with?

afaik the only way would be to render an image with the figure and the lights, and then render a separate image without those (or perhaps with the figure but not the 3 point lights) and then composite them together

I'm trying to create a morph in blender but Daz keeps giving me the "Warning: Geometry did not match, failed to create morph" error and I'm not sure what the problem is. I've also tried to just import in blender and export without touching the mesh and daz keeps giving me the same error so I'm not sure if it's my fault.
Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Best you can do is sculpt "overflow" of the breast around your target item. There are some dforce soft body-like tools but they don't give a very convincing effect for what I suspect you're going for.

I think the solution in these cases is to use simpler lighting, or sometimes even natural ambient lighting, and make the image look good with photographic techniques, i.e., looking for a good angle and using the camera settings to try to compensate the poor scene light.
But there's always the problem that poorly lit renders can have too many artifacts or sometimes never be finished.

I think you'll have to use some more advanced stuff if you want to get rid of the shadows that the character casts in the background. For example using emissive geometric shapes to simulate those white things that guys use in photography studios.
I think if you change the geometry of the spotlight the result is the same, but I'm not sure. You can make the spotlight be a disc of X meters in diameter, for example, in the parameters, and then you'll get softer shadows.

It sorta works, yes. But it still does affect its surroundings to an extent. With proper placement and luminosity it's doable but it's obviously a lot more finetuning than just being able to say spotlight 1->only ilumminate object->character x, but I guess I'm thinking too simple here and iray just doesn't work like that.

From what I have read, there are techniques to do what you want, but in the end you will always need a graphics editor to combine different images, I think.
The ideal thing is to learn how to deal with iray indoors, which will require you to think more or less like you do in real life. For example, if you have a closed room but let ambient light in through a window, you will end up flooding that room with indirect light and when you work on the character the shadows created by your artificial light sources will become more subtle.
It's good to learn to use emissive surfaces as well, because aiming spotlights on characters can be overkill in some indoor scenes.

I learned a lot while texturing a character. Freckles are the result of a mutated MCR1 gene which normally triggers enzymatic production in epidermal pheomelanin (the nipple/lips/genitals melanin unrelated to protecting you from UV rays) into eumelanin (the tan/dark skin that does protect you).

I took 2 weeks off from work to teach myself skin texturing/materials because it was my blind spot in character design (I'm into morphs really); the tutorials I could find on freckles were mediocre so I boned up on the biology involved. When you have enough faculty copies of MC1R (MCR1?) your skin tries to compensate for not enough eumelanin by clustering the pheomelanin (into freckles), which is hilarious because not only does pheomelanin not protect against UV, it actually *focuses* UV for maximum damage. There's a third type of melanin that's only found in the membrane covering the brain, and no one has a clue what its job is.

becoming an exclusive vendor activates code that exports HD morphs through DAZ's servers which encrypt the format before sending it back to the vendor.
Someone in one of the 3d discord groups cracked the format in a day. As far as anyone can tell DS can't tell the difference between a genuine HD morph asset from DAZ and a locally generated HD morph because there's no code signing involved.

The other thing I did was create a node for darker skinned characters that accounts for the lighter palms/soles (thanks to the stratum lucidum exclusive to them that's too dense for melanelles to pass into). There are a shit ton of legacy black characters whose palm skin is no lighter than the backs of their hands.
In this case, the character's an actual, green skinned goblin and I was too lazy to create an original diffuse map so I tinted it green in the shader, then added the stratum lucidum map I'd created.

Depends on the style you want. If you’re going for a lifelike figure then the time to pose it and set up PBR materials is probably less than the time it would take to produce a photorealistic digital painting. If you’re going for something simple or something stylized and cartoony then 2D is likely faster.

Figure out good lighting setups, 3 point lighting is a solid go-to for single target renders. Get ghost lights for indoor setups, they can be a lifesaver. Turn off camera headlamp whenever you can.
Figure out good camera settings, DoF is a quick and easy way to make renders look more professional if you don't overdo it. The DoF settings actual show up on the camera object in the viewport so it's easy to see where the focus is gonna be without guesswork and test rendering.
Figure out good render settings. Tone mapping can be adjusted mid-render so it's a really powerful tool to nudge your renders in the desired direction once you're already rendering. Fiddle with denoiser settings. It's great. Environment settings contains the HDRi if you use one, so plays into lighting as well and can make a huge impact on the overall look of your render.

Either your scene fit in VRAM or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then you fall back to CPU, which is 100 times slower. If it fits, then your GPU does the job, and then, frankly, there isn't that much of a difference between a GPU that is one or two generations older and the very last. On the order of 10-20%.

So, ironically, it's better to have a old GPU with 10 GB of VRAM than a recent GPU with only 4.

well if you cant optimize stuff then your only route is just more horsepower. A faster graphics card will improve your render times. More VRAM does not really mean anything UNLESS you cant fit your scene in the vram you have (since if you cant you will have to CPU render and that is super slow).
The 3090 is useless for gaming and a weird card as due to its high vram amount its actually a really really great card for 3D work without being a super expensive quadro card.

I can get a used one for about 1200 bucks, I'm tempted. Can't decide if I should wait for 4000 series or not. They'll probably be impossible to get for a good while after they release I reckon.

for 3D work I dont see honestly much point in getting a 4000 series besides the increase in render speeds. But as another anon mentioned it does not really matter that much for what we do.
If you get a 3000 series then just sit on it until 5000 series. Always skip a series if you want to not get fleeced by ngreedia.

That's incorrect. Every so often I autisticaly review the index of the zone site, page by page in the "clothing and accessories" category. The variety of items it's huge, a good amount of them are "sexy" clothes but you have armors, robes, vintage clothes and more.

Are you using the daz store for searching for items? Because it fucking sucks, if you want to pay, use the pirate sites for searching and then buy it on the store. For some reason the index on the official store is very bad, is like they don't want our money or something.

No I'm using esl95 too, but really the majority is what I already mentioned + armor, robes as you said + sci-fi stuff. There's an alright amount of vintage clothes but BARELY any actual normal everyday looking modern clothes. It feels like there's more of that for males than for females.
Like for example, this is ALL the shorts available on a quick search. Out of these few, there are maybe 2 or 3 that look like normal streetwear, the rest is all tight ass bimbo style shit or sleepwear.

I'm curious, is there a way to color one part of the hair like this? I know there's obviously color options, but I specifically mean the selected object.
Because there's color options for the bangs on this hair, but only both sides at once. Even though the bangs are divided into lBangs and rBangs in the scene tab, I see no actual way to color the two objects seperately, they're treated as one object in the surfaces tab.

It's a blender plugin called FaceBuilder I fed a few pics of Vir into.
It only works on its own head prop so that's why I had to shrinkwrap it to a DAZ head .OBJ using a weight map to mask off areas that shouldn't shrinkwrap (like the rest of the skull, the ears and the polys that join the neck) then export it as a morph target.

Oh wait I found it, I just had to right click in the viewport instead.
Alright so I added a surface but idk if I'm doing it right. After I did pic related, I selected all the polygons from the right half of the bangs and assigned them to the new surface, is that how you do it? Or is there an easier way, because selecting it all by hand was a little tedious.
Also I can't get the same shader on the new surface as on the existing hair, for some reason it doesn't show up in the shader list at all. Filter by context is turned off. I'm a bit stumped. I have other hair shaders but they look wonky.

I'm a bit new and have just been doing character renders against HDRI backgrounds. I downloaded a couple interior maps that have lights with them, but when I hit render it seems like the lights are either incredibly dim or don't work at all. This has been the case for at least 3 interiors so far. I was reading about some ghost light change in 4.20, could this be related to that or is it just something I'm missing as a noob? pic rel is what it's supposed to look like vs mine.

There are multiple things that could be wrong.

It could be some what you already said with the ghostlights. To fix that you just have to increase the emission value of it.

Is that an HDRI background? It doesn't look like it.

Anyway, like always, the ISO, F/Stop, and shutter speed (which is the same thing as the F/Stop, only in different unity). Iray emulates a real life photographic camera. Which means you need the good camera parameters to get good results. It's not that complicated, there are three, and Iray even bundle the too with a master slider, but you really should do it.

Anyway, most scenes will give you the "good", or at least "expected" camera parameters, but some don't give a fuck. And as those parameters are often bundled in another file than what create the scene, you need to click on BOTH "load scene" and "load Iray parameters" to get the final result. Find those options.

About those camera parameters, if you're a professional photographer, good for you - if you're not, learn what about the terms I've just said mean. It will helps you in the middle run.

Though on second thought, this really looks like it is lacking an entire light source. You probably fucked up somewhere, load the scene in order, there isn't a single file.

Geografts replace part of your mesh with another. They are commonly used for genitalia, but can be used for anything else, really: boob is a big thing, head, etc.

Geoshells cannot go over geografts, but will still try, for some god-forsaken retarded reason. That means it looks absolutely horrible. In the parameters for geoshells, you can disable it hovering over your geografts manually (parameters wg_*). Good new: it doesn't look retarded anymore. Bad new: the geoshell literally disappears over your geograft. If it's something subtle, like a tint, or sweat, no problem. If it's a clothing (which should NEVER have been a geoshell to begin with), then your panties are crotchless. Good luck with that.

Take better assets than Geoshells pantyhoses. There are literally hundred of them. I don't quite remember what I use commonly right now, but I use them, and I'm pretty happy with them.

It's easy. Just navigate to your geoshell surfaces, find the geo graft surface there, and apply iray uber shader ( the base/ default one) to these surfaces. In case of ngv8 its genital and anus. After that, copy the torso for g8f or body for g8.1f surfaces and paste it to those geograft surfaces( in this case its genital and anus)

The ctrl+z undo is really inconsistent. Sometimes it works just fine and actually undoes what I was doing just before, other times it completely ignores some actions I performed and leaves them the way they are with no way to undo them again. Anyone know what's up with that?
For example, I just applied a pose to my character's arms but ctrl+z doesn't undo that pose. And it seems to have fucked up undoing posing in general now, I manually move my character's arms and pressing ctrl+z leaves them in exactly the same position and instead undoes my camera movement and some shaping parameter changes I did before.
I can't work like this if I can't rely on the undo function to actually undo the last action taken.

What do you think you're doing? You can NEVER leave Daz! The only one that escaped our grasp was LesbianMcManface and look at what that cost!

Thanks. What i wound up doing was creating a new category and just adding the actually clothing folders to it.
My next question is if there is any way to group/collapse/expand morphs in the parameters/shaping tab. Right now it's a massive scroll list with every morph when it'd be nice to have them grouped by the pack they're from.

3duk and rom are known pedos but the guy uploading to zone is just as retarded but then again 99% of active users on zone are retarded

hopefully Neko on shadow starts pumping resources into the Russian only community get rid of these Bitcoin hungry fags on zone for good

ROMFX looks retarded. And not the good kind of retarded - the assets you can still use if you fiddle a bit, but a lesser kind of retarded. Not Guhzcoituz retarded, maybe a bit more retarded than Shinteo retarded. You can vaguely use some Shinteo assets if you try very hard.

Why and how is there any person angry enough about ROMFX to pirate all of his content? It's like being angry at the homeless next door for his shoes, and stealing his shoes, and being proud of the hole-ridden, disease infested article of clothing he acquired. It makes absolutely no sense.

I smell some deep seated psychological issues here.
