That was me, it was the 3D Connexion space mouse. Basically the way you manipulate the device itself is the way the camera moves, or limbs move if you change the daz studio settings so that it controls bend/rotate/etc instead.

Anonymous No. 993348

Oh, thank you.
As for the poses themselves, I think the biggest problem isn't the controls, but the total lack of more advanced tools. As far as I know, you can't even see the center of mass of the models. DAZ Studio is a poser that offers basically no tools for posing the models, which is pretty insane.
There are other programs out there that apply physics to models to make poses look natural and realistic, such as Cascadeur, but this one focuses on animations.

Well boys, it's come to this...
I consider myself a staunch and proud Daz hater, but I need a set of characters for some upcoming projects, and I can't find a better alternative. Character Creator is up it's own ass and I'm not dropping $200 on that shit, MakeHuman is fucking MakeHuman, Unreal's Metahumans look like an absolute fucking BITCH to get out of Unreal into something other than Max, and AI is still trash.
So yeah, I'm up Shit's Creek and my only paddle looks to be Daz.

Someone wanna give me a quick rundown of this shit?
Can I just download the program, shit out a rigged character with some hair/clothes I like and jump into my program of choice? Or is it something where I'm nickeled and dimed for every retarded inch of the character (like closing the eyes is a $20 "morph pack")?
I've got access to CGPeers, so if I need to grab some pack or something it might be on there (unless there's some site dedicated towards pirating Daz shit).
Granted, Pirating CC4 is an option, but I'd rather go with something a little less sketchy this time. Especially with how retarded the install process for it is.

So yeah, I've scorned it in the past, but I'm pushing my pride and judgment aside to give Daz a go. Any help would be appreciated. Might even make a convert of me.

There is no "quick rundown" for daz, just learning by doing.
Grab some basic character, cloth it, pose it, render it.
Do that until you're familiar with daz layout and basic functions.
Then start to push on custom morphs (zbrush 2021.5.1 works great with Daz 4.22) textures tweak and lighting, scene composition.
Then you'll have your hands free for post processing and animations (or rather not, animation in daz is fucking terrible)

I'm not really looking to do the "full workflow" inside Daz (getting a character, adding a scene, posing, rendering, etc.),
I'm just interested in it as a way to get characters for actual projects outside of their ecosystem. So really the "quick rundown" amounted to what character to use, quirks/pitfalls and bullshit, and exporting. I've got no interest in the program itself outside of a means to an end to get characters in projects outside of Daz.

>>993966
Yeah, I mean if I can do basic morphs or whatever myself I can't imagine it being too difficult. I'm assuming it's just moving verts around, and people selling em are capitalizing on people being too computer illiterate to do it themselves. I'm mainly looking at Daz for the pre-weighted clothes and character.
Like I'll be able to edit facial proportions and stuff without buying into it, right? Like basic things you'd see in any other character creator, I'm not looking for crazy paid shit like elves or goblins.

download Genesis 8 and Genesis 9. Those are the base models and rest are just morphs. Then get the morphs you want / characters and then export them either unrigged or rigged to blender / maya / 3dmax
>I'm assuming it's just moving verts around
it is. But you dont really do that inside DAZ. Export the models to something like zbrush or blender or what have you to create your own morphs. You can create a entire morph library yourself and then use the DAZ base models just like a character generator.
Also there are so many morphs made for DAZ that you can just easily go get them to get started. Wont cost you anything.

Yeah, I downloaded it and gave it a quick look, but like I feel like I'm stepping into another world or something.
Like I realize that you have to buy the ability to change tit sizes or change a dude's jaw structure, but like, where the fuck are those in the marketplace to begin with? Do people buy entire characters and get shit like that piecemeal alongside the character and it just blends between the default and that character, or is there some kind of overall pack that simply does what normal character creators do (just blending between two extremes of a given part)?
I downloaded the base shit, and it made it seem like it came with all kinds of basic stuff, but it really is just full of eyebrows and other useless trash.
You'd think the actual devs would put something that has the basic sliders people expect front and center on the marketplace.

Also, is there some super secrit site to download these things, or do I just have to make do with CGP?

If you're rendering via iray, and using modern assets, then you don't have much choice but to try to rely heavily on the AI filter (in the render settings, see the post denoiser options under “filtering”). Your renders will be blurry, however, if you make the filter start acting too early.
A possible solution is to make your Visual Novel rely heavily on sprites. Instead of rendering two characters in a room, you render the room as a blurred “background”, then render each character and their poses separately using any HDRI to speed up the rendering (pic related), then you program your visual novel so that it consists of a background + sprites in front, and the rest you describe with text.
Of course, you'll still need to render entire scenes at certain times, but you can radically reduce the need for them if you make intelligent use of assets.
Bear in mind, however, that depending on how limited your GPU is, you'll probably run out of VRAM to render more complex scenes. You'll probably need to start using things like the scene optimizer to reduce textures or things like that.

If you use the same models and assets and aim for photorealism, the rendering time will basically be the same.
Blender is better than DAZ, though. Everyone who uses both says it's worth going for Blender, even if you just want to do exactly what you do in DAZ. You'll have to learn how to export the models, and you'll have to learn how to deal with Blender, but this initial barrier, once overcome, makes all your future work more efficient.
However, as you're still starting out, I think it might be worth trying to make a prototype in DAZ, a very simple visual novel, and see if you can create something interesting that will appeal to some audience.

Nah, it just draws a ground. As in, an infinite plane of grey, at the lowermost Y of your scene (if "auto") or at a set Y (if "manual"). This fucks up any scene looking at a distance, any scene with an horizon, or any outdoor HDRI. It's activated by default.

Pic related causes Iray (Iteration): 1,500,000 (2%) which is the most pathologic case of lighting I have ever seen in a scene, and makes the environment functionally useless.

I don't understand why. There is nothing seriously wrong in the placement of the lights there, and last I tried there was nothing seriously wrong with the render settings. But for some reason, Iray really, really, really, really hates this scene.

You will always get the same answer to that question. Look for tutorials from photographers or lighting for movies.
How to set up your lightning matters more than having the greatest assets.

I'm trying to do something but I'm probably going about it in the most retarded way possible. I downloaded a figure whose skin comes with these pink details on the bottoms of the feet that I like. I want to use those pink details on other characters, but nothing else from this character's skin. I thought I might use Photoshop to extract just the pink details and make that something I can layer on top of other character skins as needed. Does what I'm looking for already exist somewhere and am I making any sense?

It's very hard to mix base color maps, because there will be a visible seam.
Maybe you can get away by using the sliders to make your legs visually match the tone of your skin and then use like a skirt to hide the transition from legs to body, because you can never get it perfect.

Blender's navigation, modeling and posing is so much better than DAZ, but the problem for me is the library. In DAZ, changing poses, hairstyles, clothes, accesories, materials, genitals and expressions is so easy and quick, I can try every single clothing item I have to see which ones I like better and it doesn't require ahuge scene like Blender would if I want to give my models more options. That's the only thing keeping me in DAZ

The plug-ins provided as part of Daz Studio Premier need to be installed, like any plug-in, through Install Manager with Daz Studio closed. In DIM pasting

rx::ci::^Premier -

into the filter box at top-right should show the Premier add-ons and allow them to be installed, assuming that you have the Download Filters set to include plug-ins.

Once installed, open Daz Studio and log in to your account (Connect>Login..., for the plug-in/feature activation you do not need to update metadata though you do if you also wish to download the content that is tied to your membership; that does not include the free bundles, which are not tied to remaining a member). You should then be prompted to restart Daz Studio.

Once DS is running you can find the new add-ons in the following locations:

Geometry Sculptor shows up in the Tools menu (remember that, like other content creation tools, it disables any GeoGraft's mesh hiding and won't show interpolated hairs for dForce/Strand Based Hair)
Pose Converter shows up in Edit>Figure>Pose

What you're planning is pretty much the simplest way of texture mixing:
1. Make two layers in a graphics program like krita, gimp, photoshop
2. Put the base texture layer on the bottom
3. Put the second texture (with the pieces you want, in your case the feet) on top layer
4. Erase the parts you don't want from the top layer (in your case, everything but the feet), and give it a smooth edge with eraser, or alternatively use a layer mask instead of erasing it.
5. Change hue/saturation/brightness of the top layer to make it fit the skintone of the base texture.

You can also try different layer modes on the top layer (addition, saturation, multiplier), and play around with the transparency to get different mixing results. In my case, i usually do this with nipples or genitals on textures because 95% of them are either terrible or missing entirely.

My god, what the absolute fuck are the people at DAZ doing? Do i have to import my shit to Blender again to get anything remotely decent looking? Even open source game engines written by some guy in moms basement look better graphically at this point. How are you capable of making models and textures this detailed but shaders and renderers this shitty. What the fuck?

Daz barely has an actual development team at this point (likely 1-2 programmers who might even be contractors). The company is run by short sighted money grubbing retards who chase trends and get rich quick schemes (NFTs, AI image enhancement, etc.). The software will continue to languish and stagnate. Daz is primarily a 3D asset store at this point. Yes, you will have to import to blender if you want to be able to use actual up to date competent software with the assets Daz sells.

Chances are, it will be enough. It is definitely enough for shaping tits and other soft parts of the body, it is good for skindentation, and it is definitely good for sculpting faces.

I'm having trouble figuring out stockings.

3 retarded recent regressions that sucks daily and really imper my workflow:

* They removed the "Recently Open" drop down menu to put it into their brainded "New" window with an ad and which takes 1 second+ to load. They did it only to force you to watch their "New" window and its ad. Literally.
* They removed the "Edit Settings" option for Iray Render settings, with no reason why. You can put it back but it's obscure.
* And they added more stringent resolution limits for no reasons which DOESN'T EVEN SAVE.

So every time I want to render a 12000x6000 scene for a recent scene I'm not already in, I need to click the New button, wait 1 second, click my recent scene, go to render setting, watch as my previous resolution of 12000x6000 is 10000x6000 because Daz REFUSES to save it, go to "edit settings" for the resolution, deactivate the limits, and manually input width=12000. Every time.

It's the Iray rendering engine that gives it that recognizable look. Most of those renders are made by people who don't bother putting in the time and effort into understanding it and actually tweaking it's settings. They are also usually lit very poorly because understanding proper lighting techniques also takes a lot of time and energy. Here is a Genesis 9 anime styled character using the Filament rendering engine in Daz Studio with the new FilaToon shaders applied. I'm guessing its not instantly recognizable as Daz Studio shit.

Hey I wanted to ask a couple of questions about Daz.

I make a series of what you could basically call ecchi comics for a hobby using Koikatsu. And I'd be pretty happy with what I'm doing except the anime artsyle and assets on Koikatsu kinda limit the sort of stories I can tell, and I've been wondering if I should swap to some other 3d modelling software.

Basically my requirements are that I can get all the shit for free (this is a hobby I'm not making money off of), that I can run it off my laptop, and that my dumbass can figure out enough basics to make my characters and take the relevant pictures for making these comics.

Would Daz work for me or should I look elsewhere?

You can run it under somewhat underpowered computers, but iray render times will be long if they can't run on a video card. Daz in itself works with old hardware, the rendering is the pain in the ass.

I used to render with (old) CPUs for four years. It's workable, if you can stomach several hours of render time.

>my dumbass can figure out enough basics to make my characters and take the relevant pictures for making these comics.
It's the easiest (vaguely) 3d software out there to figure out, at least for simple stuff, which is why it is used by all coomerbros and weg. The learning curve for first user is usually "open it, play a bit with the control of the camera and the GUI, click on a model, click on an outfit, click on a pose, render".

Filament is a real-time rendering engine made by google which is designed to be run on mobile phones, it should run on a toaster laptop. Anime styled renders are now quite possible with the new FilaToon shader Daz released recently (just apply the appropriate shader presets to the 3D objects in your scene) and Genesis 9 seems like a decent platform for anime styled characters. The whole process is going to feel much less streamlined and much more janky than something like Koikatsu, however. You are going to have to scour certain internet sites for assets (I recommend Shinteo's Deviantart/Patreon page for Genesis 9 anime character morphs although some require tweaking the position of the mouth) or make them yourself. Pic related is an example of a Genesis 9 anime character I slapped together using Shinteo's anime morphs and Daz clothing assets with the FilaToon shader applied (the hair doesn't have a texture and just uses a base color with the FilaToon hair shader preset applied). There are also programs like VRoid Studio (designed specifically to make anime characters but might be too limited in other aspects) and Blender (much more capable 3D software than Daz and VRoid but with a much higher learning curve).

A problem I've immediately run into is a limited number of usable hair assets. Most Daz hair assets are designed for realistic characters to be rendered in Iray. You could use some of Shinteo's anime hair ripped from video game characters (pic related), but in order to get a wider variety of hair styles you'd have to learn Blender which has a much higher learning curve.

I'm not a fan of there not being any outlines on the characters. Makes them look ill-defined. I prefer thin outlines, but I think it's an important part of the artstyle.

I also figured that hairstyles would be an issue. One of the reasons I was thinking of switching is I want to use a number of black characters in my comics, and Koikatsu is horrible at modeling both black skintones and hairstyles. I don't HAVE to keep the anime artstyle consistent if I'm swapping mediums but it'd be a nice option.

You have to download Daz Install Manager and the download Daz Studio through it. Then you have to download Genesis 8/8.1 or Genesis 9 Starter Essentials to get the base meshes. Genesis 8/8.1 is divided into separate male and female base meshes while Genesis 9 is a unisex mesh. Beyond that there is two major pirate sites to get free assets (3d-load, render-state). Using Daz Studio to create characters is essentially dialing in morphs to the base mesh using sliders and applying materials to the model and attaching clothes. Most of the character morphs and materials are trying to be somewhat realistic looking so that's what it is really best for.

Define 'morph' for me since I don't know any of the terms.

Koikatsu has a seperate game that acts as the character creator (and basically plops you down in an all-girl school to perc on) and then it has the 'CharaStudio' that lets you load in maps, character, props to make the scenes with.

I assume likewise that Daz has some sort of studio mode.

Anonymous No. 998819

A morph is a deformed version of a mesh stored as a series of vertex positions. With Daz Studio the Genesis figures are your mesh and different characters are created by applying one or more morphs to them. The morphs can vary between a single slider in the UI controlling an entire character shape, a head shape, a body shape, specific body part shapes (eyes, nose, ears, fingers, toes, etc.). Daz Studio would basically be the Koikatsu character creator and 'CharaStudio' all in one. You create your characters and then drag in props to create scenes and render them within Daz Studio or export the characters into other 3D rendering/modelling software.

By default you see a very simplified look in your realtime view of what your scene would look like if rendered. The realtime view is here to help you set your characters/poses/outfits and whatnot. Then there is a separate process where Daz "renders", aka produce an image, based on your scene.

All 3d softwares work the same.

There are several render engines for Daz. OpenGL, which is viewport (so useless, comparable to a viewport screenshot). 3DLight, which is the historic one (as in far in the past), which is fast, but looks like crap and is discontinued. Iray, which is the photorealistic one. And the new one, Filament, which is fast but realistically only useful for anime.

Iray can be used on a potato, but in that case expects some hours of rendering time.

Yeah. I can just tell from the screen shots. It's super flat. Like, don't get me wrong. Koikatsu is far from perfect. Allot of the choices make sense for a video game needing to run at 30 fps but not so much for making renders or animations. Especially if actually have an eye for it.


The skin and clothes texture in Koikatsu is layered out with a base texture, a line map, a detail map, and a normal map (as detail stuff for noses, nipples, eyelashes, etc.). This kind of lets the light and the camera angle have more effect on the lines and details being presented. Since the base texture will have general shadows drawn on, a detail mask will raise and lower skin values to create affects like abs and hip bones, and normal maps affect how light affects the surface: You get allot of competing shadows and highlights. It also doesn’t help that there are two light layers, Character and Map. Your model actual has a little invisible Alien that approximates a shadow onto things in the Map layer. This gets to the other issue of shadows being REALLY low res. Hard coded into the studio last I checked.

Anonymous No. 999038

>>999033
Also, Koikatsu is really red. Any texture you import will have to be run through a color filer that absolutely crushes the fidelity of what you’re importing. Every render you’ve ever seen from Koikatsu has a rather limited color space. It’s one of those things your brain notices but you can’t seem to place it at first. I can tell a Koikatsu screen shot from COM3d or VROID or some 3rd option just from a thumbnails.


It's also worth mentioning there are various schisms between the Community at large, the Japanese, and the fucking furries. You’ll want to keep to yourself. It’s also worth mentioning the Schizos on f95 making childing grooming that will steal your character data if they can and sell lazy posts to their sycophants. You’d be surprised how prevalent that is.

My problem with Koikatsu I've found (after using it for about a year) is that it's just limited for what I want to do. Most clothes aren't built for really really big tits (which I find weird cause you got plenty of absurdly big tits in anime), big asses are tempermental, you can't really do much to enlarge the size of lips, and it's not at all built to make black characters when it comes to hair and skintones.

Anyway I'm not overly concerned about trying to keep a consistent artstyle as I am with consistent character design, and in some cases set design. Which'd be-
>slightly japanese high school interior, if I can adjust a few colors on the walls and floors of a regular high-school map this'd be a non-issue
>a cherry blossom walkway to the school, just cause I've used a map like that in plenty of scenes already in the story
>a couple of bedrooms, and a living-room/kitchenette area
>a mostly wooden old-fashioned store

Everything else I think I can fudge, but those I feel should at least gesture at what I've used up until now.

12000x6000 usually. 10000x5000 can cut it but will look a bit blurry on headsets.

You can use a iray section plane to not render the half of the picture that you will cut for a 180° image. This will save roughly 50% of render time.

The translucy sider is 95% of the case linked to your tan. Put more translucy for more pale skins, put less translucy for more tanned skin. Ez.

I'm in love with this Rose McGowan character from one of the CoD games but the skin is pretty bland except for the head, which is significantly more detailed. How would I get started adding detail to the rest of her body? Are there some kind of pore brushes in photoshop? Pardon the pretty broad question.

Create a pose preset with only the wanted (x, y, z) position for your character, not any pose for the bones or anything like that. Then just click on the pose preset to put your character where you want.

Given subsequent poses sometimes hard reset you to (0, 0, 0), most of the times couple poses or poses sold by morons, it can be useful to use a group (create -> new group) and to create a pose preset for that group. Then put your character into the group, click on the pose preset for that group, and you character will be in his little box no matter what retarded things poses try to do after that.

Groups are very useful to just box characters/stuff for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I have 4/5 layers deep groups.

You can just select what you want to put in a group before creating a group. It saves clicks. The group will just have what you put in it.

There are two ways to parent something in Daz, "in place" or not. In place is what you want if you want your character to not move, compared to the overall render. All his present (not locked) coordinates are changed to be in rapport to the group, but the character doesn't move in viewport.

Not "in place" is putting him into the box, keep his coordinates, but place him into the box. If it's 20 meters right then the figure will be 20 meters right.

In all cases, depending on what your properties you locked or not, it can have some very weird interactions with coordinate or scale factors. If your group is, say, 20% in scale, but you locked the scale of your figure, you'll get a giant in your group. In doubt don't lock.

I realize it's what I thought is some very basic tooltips, but apparently not widely known.

>In your opinion, what makes the difference between a good render and an amazing one?
well a good render could just be one that ticks all the boxees
>good lighting
>good composition
>great pose
but for me for it to be an amazing render there has be that extra of adding some "life" to the render. Tell a story, add some movement, layered details or such.
but really its hard to say since even a very simple render can be amazing if its just that great setup. So I think a good render is more like it got all the technicals down and there is some "artistic" merit behind it. But a amazing is one got that extra flavour.
What do you think it takes?

I've noticed that there are some products that kind of “improve” iray renders, like they make things look more artistic, apparently. How do they actually work?

I used it a bit, that physics thing makes doing certain animations and poses super simple. Like, you move a leg and the model automatically tries to balance itself in relation to the center of gravity, you can do natural poses in seconds this way, much better than that shitty pose control in DAZ Studio.
One problem I had wasn't exporting the models from DAZ, however, but that the DAZ models are too "hi-poly", even the simplified version, and working with them is bad because everything is slow and fucked up, but maybe I did something wrong, I don't know.
