Man I got a million questions.lol. I downloaded damn near every youtube vid I could find and just be watchin them shits a lot to get started. I was using Poser but finally had to make the switch. This shit has a lot more features but in some ways a lot moe intuitive to use. Gotta learn the lighting system in here tho. Emissive lights are an amazing feature to me as well as billboards. A lot to take in but step by step

And as I've been saying, here are a few of my anime renders. These are some of the first ones I did. I've gotten a lot better now but I'm saving all that for the big debut.

Yeah I've been on Daz for about 4 years now. The first time I fucked with it was back in 2006, but my computer back then wasn't shit and things are WAY more developed now. It's wide open now, you got started at a good time.

Yeah I love Daz, you can do so much with it. The community around it is incredible. It's a simple program once you really get into it. If you can, get a copy of Daz 4.10.0.123 and hold onto it. It might be valuable to you in the future. Daz files are backwards compatible and that version allows you to use a few scripts that no longer work in 4.12.

@THE DRIZZY you got any renders?

Those models work well in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity(with some trickery here and there)..Epic supposed to be making a better DAZ plugin for UE 5 when it's fully available next year/year after

Speaking of 3D artists what the heck happened to BGOL's own PoppaSo.. he had some nice 3D art/animations that he posted on here every so often

Man just happened to find his store on renderosity. The baddest I seen so far doin black people hairstyles and hip hop clothing.

Yeah OOT (Out Of Tough) has some dope black hairstyles too. There's this chick names Reciecup that made dope black characters, but she stopped. Took her store down. I don't know why cuz he made some dope shit. But you can still find her stuff being passed around.

Yo, here's a tip.

If you have Generation 4 character animations (Victoria 4, Aiko 4, Michael 4, The Girl 4), you can load them onto Generation 5 (Genesis 1), save them as pose presets (animated), then load the pose preset onto Generation 7 (Genesis 3) characters. Also, there is a morph by AgentUnawares (https://www.deviantart.com/agentunawares/art/G3F-to-G8F-World-s-Greatest-Pose-Converter-709591348) that converts Generation 8 (Genesis 8) characters to a T-pose, which will then allow Genesis 3 animations to work properly on Genesis 8 characters.

Genesis 8 is also backwards compatible with all Genesis 1, 2 & 3 clothing. Right now, everything can be converted to Genesis 8. There is a script I haven't tried yet that converts V4/M4 morphs to Genesis 8. If it works correctly that will be the lick! Because there is a lot of free V4 stuff out there that can be recycled.

And they came out with a new Black character....Chick looks good, lol! Is it me or does this chick really look like a real person??

I have a comic I was doing in Poser and gonna switch everything over to Daz now. All of the figures are Michaell 2,3 or Victoria 3. Is there some kind of script to transfer characters over because I was just gonna redo everybody in Genesis 8?

Yeah, this one:


I haven't gotten it yet and it costs $25 so I was gonna try to find a free alternative before I commit to buy, but this is the only version I know as a product currently.

Man fa real Fa REAL! I need a klu klux klan outfit, and a nazi and confederate flag. Man ain't NOBODY got that shit that I can find.

I fuck around and get that shit....

The flags are easy. Just find regular 3d flags and switch out the texture (Layered Image Editor), ie the jpg of the nazi flag from google. You can edit the Surfaces of all 3D figures to make tattoos, make-up, blemishes, cuts, bruises, etc. Check out the Surfaces Tab and the Surface Tool.

There is a set from Daz that I have to find, I saw it about a week ago and bookmarked it, but I can't remember where right now! It was a set of like, Wizard outfits or religious monk outfits that looked JUST LIKE KLAN costumes. I'll find it soon and send you the link.
