Environment blocks out hdri, so you need to either add holes to said environment or add actual lights. Adding actual lights is a science of its own, but you can get away by simply copying what actual photographers do. Check pics you want to simulate, look where the light is coming from (granted, it will be probably 3-light meme, because it works) and try to copy that. You can also download some light presets, there are great ones out there.

Otherwise, you can shit on that whole thing and do your environmental render separately from your characters. This is especially good if not done in Daz, which has meh renderer anyway.

What in the unholy fuck are hair authors doing.
I mean just what the hell.
There are hairs which have more vertices than whole 8.1 figures. The fact you can then manually edit these in blender to cut down the count to half and more WITHOUT sacrificing any visual quality is just a final touch to this travesty.
Fucking ridiculous. And there are people who pay for this kind of shit too. Imagine being such a faggot who pays for it. It is shame I am too retarded and lazy to learn how to code, someone writing some simple script to optimize that piece of shit hairs automatically would probably earn a lot too.

Ah. Seems like a trivial question, but it's new, at least.

Some random things you can do. You can merge a complete scene into yours, do a right click, merge scene. So if you've got a scene of only your (well optimized) environment you can occasionally merge it into yours when you need to. You rarely need to. Do keep in mind that since the new versions when Daz put actual object that represent the Iray settings for rendering into your scenes, if they're present, a merge will actually erase yours. So it's better to merge environment + iray setting on characters, not the over way around.

Subgroup for characters, as needed. Copying characters are kind of iffy and mess with geoshells, but merging a subgroup repeatedly provides no issue.

Now never do the hide/unhide dance inside a scene for multi-pose, it's retarded and will absolutely rape your RAM. Do a scene by pose. Your RAM won't nuke itself.

Nothing very complicated. By merging other scenes, iray settings, and merging characters, you can do what you want, as long as you keep the idea: 1 scene, 1 final render.

the only thing daz has to offer is its figure system that has an insanely huge library of drag-and-drop assets. Actual rendering, scene setup, deformation, physics, materials, shaders, and so on are all easier and more performant in blender. Even moving things around in daz is laggy and cumbersome. If they actually worked on properly integrating it with other software like how Houdini does with UE4 it would be much better.

Whats the problem with it? Well OEM levels of documentation, lack of support and high requirements. Also the DAZ implementation is not the best.
>>909315
Daz is also great if you do digital drawn art. Get to setup a quick scene with a base figure and setup some basic lights. Then use that as a reference when you get to drawing.
Just dont try and use DAZ as something it is not. Like a modeling software.

"dforce hair" is simply strand based hair that uses the dforce engine to simulate. They are much more advanced than normal hair cards or even static strand hairs.
You should check the surface tab and then actually learn a bit about them before you complain. They are high performant and very good but can be extremely clunky and heavy if you dont know what you are doing.
Just do a google search on strand based hairs (they are not DAZ specific) and check how they work. Then you will understand why they make your PC lag if you turn them full on in the viewport (guides and extra hairs).

You really don't need strand based hair to dforce a hair. You just need to apply a dforce weight map to the polygons, and some commercial hairs actually did that before all the strand craze. It works, it's resource not very intensive, and you can wrap around any kind of hair in any kind of way you want, and simulate physics and whatnot.

The issue is more than dforce based hair is nowadays always synonym with strand - and strands have a way of raping your CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM like they're is no tomorrow. That was a bad design decision from Daz, and the fact many of the most prominent hair vendors have been shying away from strand tech after an initial gold rush is telling.

>strands have a way of raping your CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM like they're is no tomorrow
Yes. As I said they can with a single change of a number brick your PC so they are NOT user friendly. But if you know what you are doing they are way way more performant and faster than traditional hairs. Also they can scale on the fly for close ups and far out shots.

Yes, you're right. But my fundamental point is that Daz made an enormous mistake by equaling hair physic simulation with strands. That was unnecessary. That was, dare I say, absolutely retarded on the highest level it could be, and there will be years before the community could recover from that.

You can do dforce hair physic simulation in Daz cheaply and in a way that isn't complicated. But Daz decided to push the narrative that all dforce hairs needed to be "strand based", and then when it fucked all its userbase in the GPU, just said "ok, content creator can do what they want". And content creators decided to forgo physic based hair all together, as strands were obviously not working.

This is pure incompetence. Strands != physic based or dforce, and you shouldn't equal the two, and when the tech of one didn't work, that doesn't mean the other unrelated tech can not. We would have likely got common, universal, dforce hair for years, if those fuckers didn't want to make a point equaling two completely different tech.

well its nothing new that they keep making mistakes like that. Its quite annoying looking at premade hairs and they dont even describe what kind of hair it is now... like is it strand based, hair cards or what?
>Strands != physic based or dforce
yep it just means how you create each hair. Nothing to do with physics but ofc its quite easier to setup simulation on guide hair strands.
In this picture its strand based and dforce but you could 100% the same with hair cards or modeled hair.

Is there a discord/resource hub for making Daz game-character renders? Basically I want to improve to the level of smz-69 but every tutorial I find looks so abysmal in comparison. I have no idea how to bring the skin detail out like that in Daz before photoshop.

Anonymous at Sun, 24 Jul 2022 22:03:15 UTC No. 909998

>>909997
pretty sure there are lots of tutorials out there. But to get skin like that you need to use roughness, bump, normals and then if you have fine detail (and are not a DAZ affiliate so can do HD morphs) use displacement maps.
Then look up documentation of IRAY and take a look at translucency and SSS.
Lastly there is the lighting and here there are plenty of tutorials out there. But bad lighting will fuck up everything no matter the model.

Breastacular is a good addon to start with. You can get some nice natural presets for it too. Still, you will have to play with morphs on your own, Daz is just retarded about huge naturals.
For example, lady above is a result of combining three premade morphs and then still having to fuck around with various sag, underboob, weight modifiers and most importantly cleavage related sliders I've been collecting.
I have been trying to make a perfect huge natural tiddy for a while now and I am still not 100% content.

for chest distortion, i make a dforce area around the problem area, sit the tits to normal, then simulate for about 30 frames, with the tits at max settings on frame 15. set gravity to 0, so nothing moves except what's being moved by the tits.

Why do characters take so long to load. I hear it's morphs, but my G8.1 base and scenes load up fine. It's only when going to People/G8 Female/Characters and double clicking on to apply that takes forever (up to 2 minutes).

I think it is morphs. A model I have been using to perfect various bodyparts takes ages to load.
Then again, Daz is unoptimized piece of antiquated shit, that alone is not helping at all.

The more morphs you have the longer it will take to load because DAZ always loads all available morphs for the figure.
You could make a morph of your complete figure and then remove the morphs you are not using anymore from the library.

But I can load in the Genesis 8.1 starter female just fine and play with morphs instantly. The problem only arises when I double click a character to apply to the G8.1, which is odd. I am not sure why the character would load slow when the morphs load within 20 seconds.

normally the other anon is correct but your "problem" is not a problem at all. Genesis 8.1 comes with its own new Iray PBR shader. When you load another figure (any genesis 8 and some genesis 8.1) they come with the old IRAY Uber MDL skin shader. So it has to unload the old shader and load the new one / convert. That takes time.
You can test this by loading in a base genesis 8 and then go to the surface tab and then load the new PBR skin shader. It will then take a bit of time.

I always struggle to make my statiscally one-in-a-million tall girl realistic. Between the length of the legs, the size of the hand and feet that naturally grow with height, the length of the arms, it was always a fucking pain in the ass. That mad woman just studied the tallest living freak that have ever existed, morphed the proportion in Daz, and said "you want a 6'7'' woman? Just dial it at 25%". And it works. It's pure concentrated height, you just need to dilute it a bit. Great product. Would pirate it again.

That is three times more than picrel and nearly twice more than some of the Stonemason's urban environments.

I make my own hairs or if I am lazy just edit premade strandbased ones. By using strandbased hairs you can very easily control how heavy they are by simply doing lightweight minimum hairguide only. Then add hairs in instances to follow the hairguides (female hair you can actually see the hair guides if you look closely and how the rest of the hair just follows it). Also for a further out shot like this then just add unrealistically to the thickness of each hair spine. No need to render realistic at this range.
A good place to also cut VRAM:
- all the goblins share the same diffuse, roughness and bump maps in 2k lossy format and only the normal maps are different (used two different ones here). Colour shift is due to added colour in diffuse and different levels of translucency plus varied hues of the SSS
- The rings have no maps applied and only pure shader (camera is too far anyways to catch details and its not a focus)
- Only one tree model is used and simply rotated and shifted around. Also ground and background use the same textures as the tree just different UVs and roughness (no normals or bump).
- The female model only use a diffuse, roughness, normal and displacement texture. Dirt, sweat and such is simply baked into the textures.
- Hair has a single black/white noise texture and then just pure colour to drive the strandbased hairs.
- Grass and background trees are 2D sprites

No need to go as far, there is Vascularity tool and few others which serve same purpose. It will still require some fine-tunning though, especially on custom morphs. Challenge is to make the veins have different color than the skin, ie.: varicose veins, any vein related trauma or titty veins and such. For that you will certainly need to fuck around with normals/texture itself.

oh I think it was from some genesis 8 male texture for a geoshell. But I just took the raw texture and then used the stamp and then some handrawing in photoshop to apply it as an diffuse overlay texture to genesis 8 female. If you are not as lazy as me you could just open the UVs for genesis 8 female and then go on google and find some nice dirt textures and then just quickly make your own. Shouldnt take you more than a hour.

yes and there is also a full strandbased hair "creator". Its pretty light weight but you can do uncomplicated hairstyles with it.
also if you are just wanting to edit a bit on some premade out of DAZ made strandbased hair then just go into the surface tab and you will have plenty of variables to work with (density, flow and so on).

5 is a meme. The only thing they announced for 5 was Mac support, which was supposed to be out by the end of 2021 and who fucking cares about mac support. Getting actual muscle sim like ZivaFX from Daz is a laughable prospect. Really they should just ditch the 'studio' part and go all in on the Genesis morph/asset system and turn it into a Blender plugin. The reality is everything about the studio aspect is so far behind. Posing, render times, animation, physics. They should leave that stuff to the bigger teams and focus on improving what people actually rely on Daz for which is the massive drag-and-drop character content library.

I have come to conclusion that Daz content creators, ie.: people who make new shit and then sell it on store, are biggest bunch of fucking retards and faggots of the whole cg world.

some of them probably do it because the customers are even bigger retards who think more filesize, resolution and verts automatically mean noticeably better render results.

Anyone have experience modifying skin textures? I want to shop out this brown line but I don't photoshop, just gimp and paint.net. What's the best way to do this so it doesn't end up looking weird?

krita has the Smart Patch Tool which works like content aware fill from photoshop. krita is free, and worth having just for that tool alone. https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/smart_patch.html

Milk, going by the cable and the nipple suction. But unless that girl has been genetically modified to have acidic or very basic chemicals in her milk, this wouldn't do much of anything. Bases are preferred.

Now that I think about it, the issues with having bone-dissolving bases in female milk production are quite interesting. You'd need biological protections for Alveoli and milk-ducts able to withstand that level of base, which is a non-trivial problem, especially if you're working within the constraint of biology. I'd guess a metallic compound? That mean that girl is eating her fair share of metals, just to have her breast able to withstand the production of such powerful bone dissolving milk.

If you go by 100% scientific accuracy, that girl should have had a ingot of metal on her over hand and should probably be chewing it.

Just wait and buy a 3090 when they go cheap with the 4000 series launch, bet there wont be much supply in the beginning anyways.
