what's the point of daz in 2026
>>1032194rendering characters
I feel like I've reached a point where my DAZ renders actually look good and don't look like the usual DAZ slop that you see everywhere. Should I still learn Blender or export it and and render my DAZ stuff in Blender? Any upsides that I'm missing?Anyone here use both or use DAZ and then Blender for lighting/rendering?

is render-state giving anyone a link not available as in the picture?i switched off ublock incase that was the issue but all i got with that was a million pop up sites but if other people are getting the same thing i will just leave it for some days. if it is just me i'll try to find out if some extension is causing it.

So I downloaded and used this new program. It doesn't quite do what it says, there is some detail loss. Though, maybe an eye for detail doesn't matter when it is rendered 20% of the time. I will say this, and this is probably the deal breaker. To my knowledge, it doesn't support Transparency or Alpha channels.I was gonna wait a little bit to see if the DLSS5 addon will get a free trial. I personally think it makes the skin on faces look terrible, but seeing the clothing and environment details get a touch up seems like it could be worth it.
>>1032444share it on catbox
>>1032444>I personally think it makes the skin on faces look terrible, but seeing the clothing and environment details get a touch up seems like it could be worth it.you can just render characters separate from environment?
At last!
>>1032449its free on rhub
after lots of trial and error i finally have made an ass that looks actually good and realistic. if you look at day renders, the asses look terrible because people only use 1 morph and set it to 100
>>1032471show us please?
>>1032458>At last!who the fuck is that, bro?
>>1032471>>1032471Yeah that is my goal too, but for realistic bunda bunda booty. There is an AVN called Away from Home where the asses look perfect IMO, a lot of good chunk. Anyone have any tips? Attached example.
>>1032473pic related>>1032483just get tons of ass morphs and play around with them until it looks good. might take a while
>>1032321You don't have to do any kind of prompting or any other fluff. send the picture or video through the DLSS node and you are done.
>>1032484Share OBJ please? Preferably only with the ass modified. That is stellar.
>>1032484That's a nice one indeed. OC asses thread perhaps?
>>1032490>OC asses threadI can get behind that.The joke is sex.
>>1032458Would render, her breasts are way too low or is it the whole rib cage?
>>1032501both i think. typical daz garbage, scanned some ugly frumpy woman as the basis so now every model either has to push the ribs/tits way up or they look like this
>>1032502So unlucky I wasn't there, I know the very counter-morph that would have saved her.I'm awaiting for it to drop on renderstate.
What do you guys use for environment mode in your render settings?Dome and Scene or Sun Sky?
>>1032515Case by case scenario: Clair Obscure lighting work best in dark environments obviously.
>>1032516>Clair Obscure lightinglike an HDRI from the game?
Whatever happened to MetaMixer?
>>1032518It refers to a lighting technique.Here an average example, it's popular in WEGS.
>>1032521>clair obscure>chiaroscurokek im dumb i didnt make the connection
>>1032522My fault, should have used the right word.

>>1032012Emma Downson, obvs>>1032521>popular in WEGS.Is it? All I ever see are Dutch angles and flat lighting.
>>1032569I can't be 100% certain from this angle but there appears to be a depth problem. Specifically, the thighs do not appear to have enough backwards depth. I'm 95% sure that a side profile of this character would look highly dysmorphic in that regard and also possibly in regard to the shape (namely angle) of the glutes themselves.
>>1032590good eye, i did pump up the glutes a little bit on that shotthere might be some camera distortion too, i played around with the lens shift settings in the camera settings panesideview: https://files.catbox.moe/xfis8t.jpg

How do I do this type of lighting in DAZ? Nothing I've tried so far works. I mean the shape of the light
>>1032793Point a projector at the ground and move it towards the wall. Adjust cone to your liking.
>>1032748Sup Cucky, why don't you take a seat in the corner while I take a look in yo poorly indexed content folder. Shit niggah, you live like this? You wait 16 minutes for two fine ass bitches to load?
Yes, Ada. I have set your height slider to 400%. You have correctly assessed the situation.Now go get my waffle iron, please. It's on the top shelf.

>>1032799Fucking MIDGE
Anyone knows the name of her outfit?
>>1032797>poorly indexedContent creators follows no rules. They would drop the files in "/windows/system32" if they could.
Anyone have any tips for finding pirated assets in Daz that don’t come as DIM installation files? I correctly drop everything into My Library and can only see maybe half of it when I look into the Content browser in Daz (not smart content). Where do all these things go? I 100% have the directories selected in the content management part of preferences. Checked poser dropdown too for older asset types.It’s like a lot of the G8 assets go into the ether and are completely unsearchable in the software. Any tools out there or addons that can help?
>>1032826DIM is only going to reliably work with items that you have bought from the Daz store, it has not been reliably hacked. There are 3rd party file management things out there, they work well, try them.Preform a bit of 'data triage' before you dump files into your content folder. Unzip new content into a new folder, structure your data like this: Content/People/Characters/Male and /female and /misc. Removing the creators folder structure. When you are happy, move the pruned files to your Content folder.
>>1032828I appreciate the advice here greatly. When it comes to content/people/characters/male, can I literally throw everything that applies to a male character into that base folder? all .dufs, etc? Or do I need a substructure for different content types?
>>1032834No you should always retain the Content/Data & Content/Runtime structure that 99.9% of Daz assets use, you can modify the indexed items (Content/People/Characters or Content/Props etc) however you wish, since the .duf files already have the texture and geometry dependants mapped.Folder trees such as Content/People, Content/Environment, Content/Props etc are purely for the user to access asset material. They should not contain assets such as morphs, geometry or textures. But you can rename or rearrange the structure of these folders as you wish. .Duf is simply a new Daz scene or a subset of a scene, you could open a duf file stored anywhere on your computer, and it will work fine, as long as the asset particulars are found in the Content/Data and Content/Runtime folders.
>>1032836Based explainer. There used to be a directory map in the OP years ago.
>Jacy HD for Genesis 9Looks like we've got another Anya Taylor-Joy
>>1032847or annyeong taylor-joy if she korean
>>1032847it's so strange to see how the tides turn in daz goblina manufacturing. once upon a time the official Daz store was chock full of goblinas that were the subject of every incest WEG, and it was independent creators making good looking characters. now the daz store has a small stable of genuinely good characters while independents keep releasing these dysgenic abominations
I started using daz early this year. I think I've made decent progress in making stuff that doesn't look terrible. I really like fitting lewd outfits on the characters I put together. G9 lacks many of the clothing options I see in G8 in so I tend to cheat with Marvelous Designer to fit clothing I normally shouldn't be able to. Swimwear is too conservative and usually explodes or falls apart when I use MD so I've been thinking about creating my own with the program. I want to learn how to use dforce correctly as well.
>>1032866give it some time, G9's library is only going to get bigger in the near future. also have you tried using the built-in autofitter in Daz? i'm a grumpy G8fag so i haven't personally tried it myself, but i imagine putting G8 clothes on G9 morphs shouldn't be hard
>>1032868If selecting g8 clothes for g9 isnt the auto fitter, I have not tried it. I'll look into it tomorrow.

https://x.com/daz3d/status/2103137989052240082Truly a missed OP image opportunity.
>>1032891Actually, if you look reeeeeally closely you can see an microscopic thong sort of covering her clit. Totally above board. :D
>>1032911kek now i see itwell it all depends on how badly the jannies want to earn their paycheck

>>1032920No clue. I do see Fred Winkler Art and Emrys both listed as creators in some things.
Any experts able to recommend what products work to make a good femboy/trans body for a G8F model?
>>1032942maybe try some stuff that ports g8m morphs to g8f? have you tried g9? it seems pretty easy with the shared morphs
>>1032942Load a G8M, make it wear a wig and a dress and voila! Like in real life!
>>1032942the simple way would be to use the actual tranny morph pack from the daz store, but that locks your character(s) into the specific shape they use. the more complicated but more customizable option would be to use various morph packs (like Shape Shift and Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs) to adjust whatever G8F model you use to be more androgynous. it all amounts to how much time you want to spend adjusting various body and facial parts
>>1032955why are you like this?
>>1032973Why aren't you?
>>1032942Yes, but first you will need to remove the morph database so genesis 8 will act more like genesis 9 with morphs or both genders. In your Windows Folder you will need to find the Daz 3d propitiatory installation file, Daz uses Win32, so hold shift + delete.
I finally figured out how to do Domes properly after 3 years of using DAZ
Why is it so hard to do good indoor lighting? Outdoor is easy for me, no problem, but indoor is a headache. Most of all it's annoyingly hard to even navigate the scene because everything is always being blocked by the walls, and even if i hide the walls, then i have to unhide them again when I want to test it. and then when I move just a tiny little thing in the scene the whole lighting needs to be readjusted as wellAm I doing something wrong or is it just hard?
>>1033052Check Iray Section PlaneOr just por the scene to Blender

I have an annoying dilemma where I have crafted perfect perky breasts on my gen 8 female model, but the lower half of her body (her ass basically) is kind of weirdly shaped and I can't for the life of me get it to look good.

>>1033161Dazzworks and Princegribble both do pretty great ports of them. Fadeam also has a whole bunch of them at pretty good quality.I like Shitneo but hes moved to G9 for anything that isn't a commission and its pretty annoying. I also think his quality has dropped a little bit lately.

One of you with premier membership should use the ai decompile thing on daz to get a thing that can handle the morphs and export them.
>>1033346>get a thing that can handle the morphs and export them.Diffeomorphic already exports morphs fine
>>1033351It can handle the premier exclusives that are encrypted? It any different to the normal process? I am now assuming you ahve done it yourself.
>>1033353Oh those! Not sure, I'll check when I get home.
>PhotocraftI dont care about ai art, but is it finally possible to make a better daz for offline use? Makehuman is worse and character creator makes daz's ui look competent
>>1033408daz is already offline?
>>1033408My DAZ is cut off from the internet for years now. I never hallow remote anything.I get my shit from renderstate and drop into the "Mylybrary" folder: Done and done.
>>1033225>I also think his quality has dropped a little bit lately.His quality was never good to begin with
Is there a fast and easy way to port a scene (large environment) from blender or other formats to DAZ while keeping all the material maps, lighting etc? Or do I have to go do all of it manually
>>1033412allow*
>>1033429afaik the material stuff is always lost in the transfer. Probably better to just liberate your characters from daz into blender or wherever.q
What are your favorite breast morphs? I like Guhzcoituz presets but would like to branch out.
>>1033435breastacular has lots of options you can mix and matchon g8f you don't have to use the graft to use them
>>1033409>>1033412I dont know why I said offline. I meant a potentially more stable and lighter version of studio which would make it like makehuman but not shit. Acutally testing it out, photocraft is alot less resource intensive than shop, but it's alsomore unstable at the moment.
>>1033435I just use tons of breast morphs and combine themfor example breast width, height, top slope and so on, until it looks good. If you just use one slider it's going to look very generic
Which version of Daz should I be using?I'm on a 5070 Ti. It sounds like Daz6 is better for compatibility with 50XX cards, but people also seem to say it breaks a lot of useful plugins and scripts that work fine in Daz4, and generally fucks the user around with premium subscriptions for things that used to be free.I think I probably want to be making characters in Daz then exporting to Blender with Diffeomorphic anyway. Any advice on which version would be better?
>>1033579Daz 4 can't render at all with 50XX cards. So you'll have to use 6.You can set up a scene 90% with 4 and render in 6.
No wonder this wasn't ripped yet, it poses like shit...It's a dumb unique style that I've wanted so I don't want to refund though.
>>1033588this would be a good middle part without the mullet
DAZ would actually be a decent 3 program if it weren't so poorly coded and had millions of bugs, crashed all the time and makes your life difficult for no reason. That being said it is pretty powerful if you really go into it

I'm trying to learn how to animate a small part of the set I'm working on. Is it better to reduce the resolution for a quicker turnaround during rendering?
i don't dazlet anymore, but tried out the keentools keenface shit and if you lads want to crank out likenesses it's worth a shottake a bit of prep - getting a good ref and generating turn arounds etc (probably automateable with a comfy setup) and you get an okay model on the other sidetextures are bit shit but setting up a wrap pipeline is easy and you only have to do it oncethey give you free creds right now on sign up (just email), gives you three attempts. i wouldn't pay for it because it's not good enough + too expensive, but it's worth abusing while they give it away, just use burner emails
>>1033744What did he meme by this?
>>1033747i mean you can make you celeb lookalikes for free
>>1033748>keentools keenfaceTime for another Emma Watson!
>>1033744Post thy work with the software if you are going to shill it.
>>1033744yeah post some results so we can judge if it's worth the time and effort
>>1033761>>1033784i can really post the ref for male cause it's reverse image searchable and work related, but the likeness worksi had a front photo, generated 3/4 and profiles and this was the first resultthe anya taylor joy was a lot less successful because i didn't give too much of a shit when generating references. the head lines up to the refs, but because the refs are from gpt image it ends up distorting focal length and proportionsand like i said textures aren't great. normal only, no height, and the normal map is shitalso you can't re-roll for free if you don't like the gen which is why i'm saying just spam burner accounts if you want to mess around - don't pay for this shitthe one from 3dscanstore that's coming next year will likely be betterideally we get an open chink model because training something like this would be relatively cheap
>>1033785also left is quick render in houdini - right is just a screencap from the browser
>>1033785do you convert them into useable models or do u just work with the bust?
>>1033787this was the first time and it was just a test to see if it works - the head isn't even getting used on the project, just throwaway slop.topology that's output is standard metahuman, so it would be pretty easy to integrate into a pipeline. personally i'd be wrapping better textures on from texturingxyz / 3dscanstore and possibly doing a sculpt pass if it was needed. transferring head onto genesis 8/9 should be easy enough as well - wrap set up is one time and every head should move over fine after that.that said, i've become mostly uninterested in realistic human stuff because i don't do realtime/vidya work and for vfx the ai models are already better imo
>>1033785Is this something cloud based?
>>1033797anything can be cloud based given enough effort and resources
>>1033798Just curious because I'd prefer local
>>1033799its all cloud senpai
what do you guys use for lighting a scene? sun light, emissive surfaces, lights, domes? combination of any of them?what do you think is best?
>>1033826The scenes I use have inbuilt lighting but I also use ghostlights to "enhance" the scene. I still suck at lighting though, so I have a lot to learn. The lighting I've seen from other artists astounds me.
>>1033826I'm a daz to blender enjoyer and I have to preach that setting up lighting in blender is not only way easier but it instantly escapes you from the "daz" look that plagues like 90% of all daz renders. pic related, daz girlie rendered in blender with two lights: one big spotlight to the left, and a soft fill light to the right
>>1033835This reminds me, time to prepare the christmas cuckold render
>>1033826HDRI and ghost lights if something needs a little extra. But I haven't done a lot of indoor full scenes.>>1033836You can get lighting like that in DAZ easy. The 'daz' look is just amateurs not even trying and more to do with subject matter.

Happy anniversary, lads
>>1033919>>538145
>But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
>>1033836There is some stuff that I haven't figured out in order to make the complete Blender transition. Maybe you or some other anon can give me a hand. First, I can't get skins to look quite right in Blender, the hue and saturation always changes for me, some regular looking characters look like grey zombies when ported to Blender.. I also think posing in Blender is better if I use MHX but the Daz pose library is really useful if I don't want to start a pose from scratch. Also dForce is really useful, not sure if there's something like that in Blender that doesn't require a lot of effort to set up. And finally, it's really easy to click on a clothing item and it instantly fits my characters. In Blender, unless I import the model with every single clothing item I might want to use then I don't have that option but the file becomes huge. And constantly importing the model with different outfits seems like a hassle. Any tips?
