In the last thread someone asked about making poses easier and an anon posted an weird device that looks like one of those robots that sucks up dust from the ground. Could someone explain to me how that helps? Thanks.

>>993209
Nice, thank you.

>>993244
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.

>>993289
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.

>>993348
Indeed. Even the rig exported using the bridges is better than what's available normally in daz, which is pretty silly.

Oh dear EmmAnon, please share your assets with us.

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)

>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")?
that's kinda true but there are sites where you can download them for free and seeing as you're already talking about pirating software i dont see why that would be an issue

porting from daz to blender is easy, you can do it for other programs too but i've only used blender

>>993904
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.

>>994005
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?

Actually, I think I've figured it out. Partly because I'm retarded, and partly because the program is too.
All the shit that I want seems to be built-in with the Genesis 9 figure. God damn this shit is obtuse.

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.

>>994163
thanks. yeah that makes a lot of sense. I will render the background separately and use it multiple times.

Now, do you have any opinions on whether DAZ or Blender is better for this? I love how easy it is to put different clothes/hairs/accesories/morphs on DAZ but posing is a nightmare and Blender really makes it so much easier. Also I can sculpt some stuff better on Blender, right? And what about render time? Too many things to consider, it's a bit overwhelming

if I put it to finite box it does get less visible because it moves the line up into the skyline... but I mean... this doesn't feel like a solution.. is this just the line separating the sky box from the ground? I thought HDRI's were supposed to be like 1 consistent solid picture or whatever

well after getting desperate enough to complain/ask for help here I decided to finally go thru each and every render setting and found out it's this draw ground setting that was doing it... apparently it splits the HDRI in half for "ground reflectivity" or whatever that means.......

>>994218
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.

I do 18 hours renders commonly, as in thrice per weeks. 12000x6000 at a decent convergence will do that in difficult scenes. 4 hours on easy scenes, 6 on difficult, 8+ on slightly pathologic. My GPU, last I heard, isn't catching fire.

>>994477
I didn't try since 2020. Possibly fixed since then. Was fun when it happened.

>Also why would you not limit your iterations?
It also looked like utter shit in render, it wasn't a convergence bug, it really looked like shit after 1,000,000+ iterations. Have you tried posing a random character at the centre of that environment to try?

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?

>>995842
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

You past the details and do your best to blend them within your targeted textures, means maybe adjusting Hue, Saturation, Colors, Brightness, Contrasts etc...

does anyone have any idea how daz actually uses vram? i used to use scene optimizer by default, before realizing that literally having 6 characters out of the box with full uncompressed 4k textures doesn't even put a dent in the vram. one character was using 5, with windows stealing 1. 6 characters didn't even hit 6. i don't understand. also, the scene optimizer scaler fucking sucks dick, it makes everything blocky, whereas manually resizing looks much better. a fucking 2k face texture shouldn't be blocky. blurrier, yes, but not blocky.

>>997577
My understanding is that Geometry are more an issues than textures with vram. If you don't get beyond a subD of 2 then i guess you won't hit the vram wall.

The new icon blows, what else changed?

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
Shape Transfer shows up in Edit>Figure>Shape
DForce Manager shows up in Simulation Settings pane / Manage
Render Queue shows up on Render Settings pane / Queue

How are the exports to Blender? Is diffeomorphic still better?

>>995842
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.

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.

>Working a on subdivided mesh isn't the same as making morph at a subdivided level.
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. Apart from making really detailed stuff like scars or anything else that would require "HD" morph, it is definitely enough.
And for HD morphs, just use Xin's shit.

>>997935
It improves the workflow, true, but technically that not it.

>>997937
I'm actually interested now. For basic work, this is pretty much perfect solution. For HD morphs, use Xin's plugin. Is there even a different user case not covered by these two?
If you are talking about Xin's plugin being kinda ass to work with, then I agree.
