In Summary:
- I start out with a character template and morph the body physically.
- I put the body into a particular position, change facial expressions, add makeup, etc…
- I dress the character. Most are 3rd party clothes that I morph and mix.
- I either can embed the character into the background or create the character first and embed the background. Most are 3rd party, some backgrounds I create myself or merge different types of backgrounds together.
- Some backgrounds come with lighting, some don't and I have to create them.
- Rendering times can take 10 minutes to 2 hours per render.
- Also, I can change the render specifications, to give the atmosphere different characteristics, like haze or humidity.
Stay frosty people.
That's a pretty neat little program - Is the learning curve to use Daz pretty steep? How long have you been doing 3d art like this?
I’ve been using Daz3D (and creating 3D renders) for about 6 months...posted my first render about 4 months ago.
Steep learning curve, yes and no.
Yes, because when I first started using Daz, there were so many options, so much that I could do, and so many different controls…I was overwhelmed. And my first thought was, “Dude, you must be crazy to try this!” lol Plus, some of the 3D renders out there are ridiculously good, photorealism good...because people use other programs like blender, photoshop, etc...in conjunction with Daz…to get that kind of detail. So that made me feel more overwhelmed.
However, No, because I then started watching tutorials, learning how to draw, learning about lighting and textures, photography…and like my journey through crypto, I started going down the rabbit hole...and loving it.
I've always been a big fan of 3D rendering, but I found myself procrastinating to try it myself. But, 6 months ago I decided to bite the bullet, and give it a shot.
I hope that I answered your question @oblivioncubed.
That's super cool. I feel similar with having started doing gaming videos - I snagged DaVinci Resolve and it's just so full of menu options and different tweaks I can make that it makes the learning curve feel giant, but there's thankfully really good support and tutorials and that makes it a lot easier to grasp.
Wild that you're able to make such amazing art in just 6 months! Great job!
That's awesome...reminds me...if there is a will to do something...we will find a way to do it.
And thank you so much @oblivioncubed :)
I love your lighting work always realistic and perfect. ❤️ Such a nice art.
Very amazing explanation 😀 made my concept clear✌👌❤❤
Thanks so much :)
Another spectacular digital art full of reality. I think you are enjoying doing it, and it shows in the presentation.
It looks great, congratulations my friend for this work.
Thank you so much @josevas217 :)
