Noob question but how do I import stuff from this into DAZ? Is there an easy way to do this?

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.

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?

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.

My goal is to ultimately learn how to design clothing (marvelous designer looks neat but expensive) and also animation (ideally to learn breast physics).

I tried finding a working crack of CC4, or just CC in general, but the few sites I saw that had it looked very shady and the links didn't work anyway. Plus, with these programs it seems like there is a HEAVY dependency on an asset library, which means having to find working links for those specific assets as well. If there's a regular place to find all of these things, feel free to inform me please.

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).

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.
Kinda weird policy knowing the kind of absolute degenerate Guro 2d art being present on pixiv, little girls being eaten alive, etc.

Looks like some of their recent locality-based censorship relates to what tags are on the images. I've had some people tell me that they couldn't see posting in the US, until I removed certain tags, even though the images were clothed and non-explicit.

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.

I don't touch DAZ with a 10 mile pole but seeing how the error is along the symmetry line it might be down to limitation in number of bones that is allowed to influence a vertex.

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.

Not much to say really. I just reused assets from ME Legendary edition (like the crates and door frames) and made some textures where they were missing (or I wanted a new look). Also did a some props my self in the same style.
Then I just build up a nice kit to build levels and well then its just construction.
Biggest thing was doing all the lighting and making it look kinda video gamey. I worked on getting some volume to the lighting now and adding details.

also tried some more harsher lighting to get that video game look but I think all go back to the more soft look. Just looks better I think

Well I did not bother with their heads since they are aliens. So here I just used the original rig and have the head as its own separate figure.
The body / suit I fitted to g8.1 male. Same as I did for Miranda suit.
The weights are not perfect but 90% there. Ill fix when I run into issues.
As for the varren I just used the original rig and has it as its own unique figure. Cant be bothered to fit it to daz dog.

what's the best way to make tattoos that go over "stitches" on texture maps? like on the back or circular one on arms/legs? the only thing i can think of is exporting to blender and projecting it through materials pannel and then exporting back somehow, but i can't figure out how and honestly don't feel like learning blender for this shit, but if anyone knows some shortcut to do it easly in either daz or blender, i'd appreciate some tips

i'm not a big daz user so i may be wrong but your best bet is a geoshell with its own UV for just the tattoo (since afaik daz doesn't let you specify per-texture UV sets)
i have no idea how to make a daz geoshell but you'd bring it into blender, load your tattoo (decal) onto a plane and bake it onto the geoshell using the bake tools in the render settings. look up a blender texture baking tutorial for that
if you don't want to use a geoshell you could bring the body into blender and bake from the plane directly to the skin but you'll need a really high res texture or it will look like dogshit
Anonymous at Thu, 23 May 2024 13:32:57 UTC No. 984325
>>984324
oh and if you're baking directly onto the body across the "stitches" (UDIMs) you'll need to set the UDIMs in the UV/image editor then bake onto them with the right settings. can probably find a tutorial for that easily now that you know the keyword UDIM

I do believe this firmly, some times they just pull specific render assets, like DOF, color keys, rendered masks, etc. I think that is super strong
Today I was thiking, you know the typical DOF pass? I was thinking how to turn that into the typical landscape "blueiness". Open any landscape that goes deep enough with mountains, sky, etc. You will notice the furtherest away something is the bluisher it is. You can do that with a DOF pass and some postpo magic. I don't even want to think how'd you'd do that without it.

What's a good step-up from Daz? I've been using it for about a year but I'm starting to get sick of the nature of it. Just downloading assets and swapping them. It feels more like The Sims at this point. Original poses are about the only OC I make and even those are based on others.

Do you think it's worth calibrating your monitor more rigorously if you're only making digital content (with no intention of printing)?
I was looking at some renders of mine on a smartphone and they look much "colder" when my intention was a warmer image. My monitor, I think, is well calibrated, but I can't be sure unless I buy one of these devices for calibration, I think...
What do you think? Is it worth spending $200 on a monitor calibration device or is it only for those who are printing high quality images?

Blender, even if you want to do exactly what you do in DAZ. At least that's what the guys in the DAZ community told me.

i think a monitor with better colors is probably more important than a calibration device, i'd just look at your renders on your phone before you post them to make sure they look good on both

So this is the power of dforce.

a lot of daz creators (and consumers for that matter) think more verts and bigger textures = better so they say fuck efficiency and go all out
love when even the tiniest clothing accessories have 4k textures, even better when they're 4k of a solid color for some reason

No joke. It's to increase the price. At least on the sellers side. Some daz users csnt be legit stupid as fuck.

I ended up buying a cheap colorimeter ($140) and I think calibration makes a lot of sense, regardless of your monitor (both bad and good). I used a scan of an art book to compare, and although the image in the book and the image on the screen don't look exactly the same even after calibration (I think I'd need a professional calibration for that, as well as proper lighting for my room), the 'feel' of the images is pretty much the same, which wasn't the case before, where warmer things could look colder and so on.
My main monitor, a Gygabyte m27q, isn't exactly good, but one of its qualities according to rtings is an excellent factory color calibration, and even though it became more faithful after calibration, I don't think the change was significant enough to have affected my use of DAZ Studio. So I think that users who have a monitor with decent factory color calibration don't need to do anything other than a superficial adjustment in the monitor's own menu looking for the optimum settings that can be found on Internet sites, if it's a well-known model.

Continuing on about calibration, bad monitors will benefit greatly, although calibration can't work miracles and turn a bad screen into a good one. I have a secondary monitor that I only use for text because it was painful to see how wrong the colors were on it (at least when compared to my m27q, even after I tried to correct the differences), but after calibration it has become a display capable of showing images, even if not perfect, at least that carry the same intent as the originals.
As for smartphones, at least mine (Samsumg Galaxy A10) is totally uncalibrated, with everything leaning heavily towards blue (like practically all LCD screens). I don't know if other smartphones are better, but I've seen people suggesting using the smartphone to calibrate your main screen and I don't think that's a good idea.
Note: for those who are making money with renders, like eroge authors, the least you should do is:
> buy a monitor with good factory calibration (it doesn't have to be anything professional, just something that is well rated in this regard)
> optimize the image following recommendations from sites like rtings, where the guys do tests with specialized equipment and propose changes to the factory settings to get you close to the perfect calibration.
That's the minimum. I've seen images in the wegs thread on /aco/ that are clearly being made with uncalibrated monitors, with characters with purplish skin, for example.
And finally, if you're making considerable money from your renders, research how colorimeters work and once you understand exactly what they're for, buy one and calibrate your monitors to at least be at the same standard as amateur/professional photographers.

Oh, and lastly, all my screens, both good and bad, are IPS. I think IPS, although far from perfect, is the best at showing accurate colors from different angles, so I think they're the only LCD screens worth spending money on calibrating. Screens with different technologies are likely to have such different colors depending on your position, angle, etc., that calibrating isn't worth it. As for OLED screens, they have infinitely better colors, but I don't know how calibration works on them, because it's 100% certain that they also leave the factory uncalibrated.

The funny thing is that the model is genuinely good, at least as far as the face is concerned. I'll wait for the pirate link to appear somewhere...

Why would it be different than any other monitor when they have the same options?

It's because the technology is very different. The common sensors you buy are normally made for LCDs and there are things they can't even read properly on an OLED, such as black levels, from what I've read. But at least Displaycal (one of the open programs you can use with different colorimeters) has options that you check if the panel is OLED, so in practice it doesn't change much. And OLED also needs to be calibrated, just because the colors are better doesn't mean they're accurate.
Note: the manufacturers of colorimeters try to tightly control their use, forcing you to register the serial number online to limit your ability to use it to calibrate the monitors of various friends, companies, etc., they want you to buy one colorimeter per 'location' you're going to work in. But this is easily circumvented with open programs like Displaycal.

Anyone Daz on linux?

I'm new to this and feel like I'm taking crazy pills right now. I'm using the default Ruins scene that Daz comes with and trying to get the sky to appear. I have Draw Done set to "On" (see left panel) and don't have any backdrop in the environment panel, but the sky is white in all of my renders (see center). Am I missing something?
