Re: Daz Studio - worth it or not
These details are just wonderful. Words fail me. A physique that tells stories! You know I have always believed that really convincing 3D relies on deliberate planned imperfection's. The sun dried skin textures are just marvellous. In the end, the thing I find so absolutely perfect is not the obvious things, it's his knees! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thanks David. I did a lot for this challenge. I've got another starting in a few days and I've just finished one. Here goes the free time again...lol. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Daz Studio - worth it or not
So, I found some time over the last couple of days and decided to see if there was any promise in the decade and older Daz Studio models. Most are M3 and M4 version models. Although clumsy to work with, I believe they are definitely worth keeping in my archive.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Obviously, the reduction in resolution makes it look chunky. The original render is in 4K at 3840 x 1920 and looks great. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Daz Studio - worth it or not
I've been dying to do a Viking warrior render and eventually got around to it. This is not a pure render. I've added 30 plus Photoshop layers of water, painting and tweaks.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Daz Studio - worth it or not
Very nice Dennis. As you know I am a bit paranoid about 3D figures looking too posed and rigid. She looks very natural, almost relaxed. The rest, atmosphere, ligh,;etc is also lovely. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
