The only good thing about Gen 8 (apart from the A pose being easier for content creators to make clothing for) is that it has more backwards compatibility than any other Genesis figure.

All the clothing I've made for Genesis has been for Genesis 1 and it's good that they can be used on Genesis 8.

Many sliders/dials are masters that control multiple slaves; their limits prevent the slaves from having effects that overlap (sometimes literally) oddly.

I use Hexagon (Daz product) and 3D-Coat to make my clothing for Daz Studio. Hexagon is a fantastic vertex modeller (even if it is woefully in need of an update, but hey, only $20). 3D-Coat has a hobbyist/educational license for less than $100 and is a really good sculpting program.

Hexagon has a direct bridge to Daz Studio and really should be upgraded and bundled with Daz Studio.

Anons, this isn't any of your faults or the figures' but these are really cheap eye mats. Are these the defaults for G3F/G8F?

If you're using mats from a vendor, call them out here.

>>574610
>>574595
First off, you're showing improvement.

> That's another ugly bitch
No, this is the same head without the horizontal overscaling. If it isn't, you need to work on variation in your aesthetics (most of us do).

Brown/black healed laceration scars look fake, and all of your scars are perfectly flat to the facial contours. The white scar on the nose is white because the scar tissue is too thick for melanocytes to penetrate, so it's going to be raised. The more recent looking cross-face laceration scar is going to be a depression (i.e. a gradient line on the bump map) with a very thin pinkish line matching its contours on the diffuse map. Even mediocre lighting will catch a correct scar material and besides it's a good excuse to learn 3 point lighting and get off your DAZbabby HDRI crutch. The lip morph is a nice touch. Also, increase the bump value on the lips if the bump map isn't shit. They're too flat in general and rougher lips will sell your idea.

The eyelashes are now shorter than any human's regardless of age or gender, i.e. you overdid it here. Slide that back to about 50-75% of the default value. If this is G3F, change the gamma on the transparency map to thin the individual hairs.

FYI, one of the first things you learn when drawing the human head is that the corners of the mouth in a neutral expression are also the horizontal positions of the pupil centers. This remains a constant across age, gender and race, even where the eyes are set widely apart. Aesthetically we tolerate mouths wider than pupil centers more than the opposite.

Actually, he converted a game model rip of 2B converted into XNA, which is why he is selling it on DA instead of other markets because it is VERY illegal. I recognized it because I was trying to convert it into a FO4 costume mod for practice and it was harder than I thought.

I've done like a million clothing conversions for video game mods and XPS, but never for Daz, but I assume it would be the same. Just fit the clothes as best you can, then automatically copy the bone weights from the body you're fitting the clothes too. Then if there's "special" bones, like skirt bones and such, you have to add them yourself, I just use the automatic bone weights in blender for those though

Any idea how he did the face shaping? Some of his morphs look pretty good

If anyone is having a hard time lighting there scene.. read up on Exposure/ISO/fstop.. makes a huge difference. Not only does your scenes look way better they render faster.

Can I convert a G3 character (all its morphs) to G8? What do I need to use for that? Tried to look on dazfree but it's hard to find anything in particular with the horrible research bar.

>>574941
Google sickleyield convert g3 to g8

Any idea why transfer utility wouldn't work properly on genesis 3? It seems to work fine on other models. It trchnically works but the clothing always gets totally deformed or moved in the process.

>>574941
>>574942
Following this logic could G3M be made into the unreleased G8M?

Hi friends.

Need glasses for Genesis 3 Male that look like they could be worn by a scholar in a fantasy setting. I've found a couple of things but they're for older figures (the closest I got was Genesis 2 Male)

I know I can convert clothing pretty easily but what about stuff like glasses with head morphs? I'm kind of a newbie to this whole DAZ thing and I don't want to go downloading ancient files that it turns out I can't even use.

>>574954
Just find an .obj of a good model and import it. It's as easy as that. You can also import .dae but it's unreliable as fuck.

>>574954
Glasses can easily be applied to any model, even super transformed ones like animals, monsters and dragons. If they dont autofit, then just move them.

Is this decent?

Now I have a problem. Hopefully you guys can help.

I'm trying to animate a scene and when I move the playhead to scrub through the timeline Daz crashes. In the regular animation tool and also in Animate.

What do?

>>574899
>I'm only acting retarded because you are mean!

>>574957
The walls are only lit by the ceiling cans even though a snowstorm is clearly happening outside.

Composition is good though.

>>574958
You render the background by itself and then reduce the scene to the animating figures with the BG dropped in as a picture (assuming the camera doesn't rotate).

>>574943
I have the same problem

>>574954
Import an .obj, move to right position, parent to head. Viola, when you move the head, the glasses follow.

>>574957
Looks good. The only thing is the tiling on the wall, you can see where the diffuse starts and stops.

>>574970
Then you get no reflections or lighting on the character from the backdrop or environment.
You render it with iray's beauty canvas enabled. That way, only the character gets rendered but there's no backdrop.

Anyone know a good place to pirate g3m stuff? Places only upload female stuff and it pisses me off.

I can't use morph loader pro or advanced for some reason.

I export as .obj with scale set to Daz Studio, then import in blender, make my edits without damaging the geometry (as in removing vertices or faces).
I export as .obj with Keep Vertex Order and -Z forward and Y up, and yet, when I import the model into morph loader pro, it says the geometry doesn't match.

I even tried using a completely unedited model (the one I exported as Daz Studio scale) and it still didn't work, so it has to be the orientation or something but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated

>>575021
Before you export from Daz, set your shape to base instead of high resolution. Also, set subd to 0.

>>575021
What are you trying to do, exactly? What adjustments are you making to the mesh? Because it sounds like Zbrush + GoZ would be a better option for whatever you're trying to accomplish.

>>575026

All I'm doing is trying to morph the head into a celebrity shape.

Have you made custom morphs via Zbrush? then maybe I would consider it.

>>575095
Actually, I feel like I am a good 3d artist, but I have such impossibly high standards that everything I make looks like TRASH. Sometimes I'll spend like 2 and a half hours in photoshop just to make it look better, but then it ends up looking "okay".

>>575082
The design, texture stretching, the fact it doesn't look like it sits how it should. I make my own, sim it, uv map it and texture it so I'm probably biased.

>>575102
Yeah.

I believe that forcibly promoting my identity is cheating, and I want people to naturally want to see more of me if they wish.

>>575106

>>575106
I've been called worse by better.

But really, these are just my personal beliefs, It feels alot better when you finally do get new people that like what you do, and you didn't have to shove it in their face.

I have like 25 watchers, and they don't have more favorites than pageviews, so I'm happy if I could gain notoriety this way, it's more natural, and if I'm destined for D league fame, so be it, as long as I feel like I've earned it, I'm okay.

>>575108
I actually outright asked you to post your deviantart, and you didn't. How's me asking you the same you shoving it in my face?

Your life isn't a fucking storybook. What are you, waiting for the chapter in your life where a sudden freak accident launches you into internet fame? What are you, fucking deluded? Sorry if I sound upset, but there should be absolutely no doubt in your mind why you're stagnating when you don't advertise your stuff. Grow some balls, seriously. "I don't want to shove it in people's faces". Well, be prepared to be backseated by the PEOPLE WHO WILL.

>>575103
>texture stretching
This is a huge problem for clothing that neither Poser nor DS have solved. The solution will require stepping away from UV mapping and coming up with something based on a dynamically generated undistorted subdivision, a pattern tile, origin and angle of tesselation.

If this already exists tell me.

>>575104
>and I want people to naturally want to see more of me if they wish
If dA were strong enough to make external promotion unnecessary everyone would know that by now. Social media is a necessary evil for creatives who aren't employed by studios doing promotion for them.

>>575103
I got a question for you, when you model and rig your clothes, do you do it for the vanilla G3F model, or if you have a character with like, enormous breasts, do you model it to the character with the enormous breasts or do you still do it on the vanilla G3F mesh?

Basically the only way I've figured out to rig clothes to my musclegirls is to first rig it to the vanilla G3F mesh, and then apply the morph on top of that. I can't seem to copy the bones from the musclegirl morph'd mesh directly. Am I making sense? Hope you understand.

>>575115
If I make clothing to sell, I make it on the base character, yes. But if I'm doing a few shots of a custom character, I'll make the clothing for that one specifically and not bother rigging it. I sim the clothing for each pose I'm rendering using Marvellous Designer.

>>575115
I've tried copying bones from a custom character morph to clothing that already fits, but it just fucks it all up.

I wish I liked your work more because you clearly sound brighter than the average person here and a lot more organized/motivated.

I'm told the terrible eyes I see in most of these renders are the default maps that come with G8F (and possibly G3F). It's completely worth the investment to find characters whose eye mats will be better than this, which should be most of them. DAZ went cheap here and it's the first part of the figure people look at.

>>575230
>As a 3D professional

You sure as hell haven't displayed any professionalism in any capacity so far.

Suppose there is a standalone human model, is there any relatively simple way to convert its shape to a g3 morph?

Why not, his last batch of renders included the jacket from Wolfenstein. Whatever else he has trouble doing, bringing clothing in from video game assets isn't one of them.

>>575412
I've had some experience converting for Fallout 4. The biggest most positive change in going over to Daz Studio has been the rigging system. What a treat! I'm used to Outfit Studio where you can't even see bone weight mesh deformation in real time, so using a rigging system that's actually half way decent a la Daz Studio has been a really positive experience.

For example, I take a sbsar file from substance source, put it into B2M, it gives me all the outputs I could need, diff, metallic, gloss, roughness, normal, spec, ao, etc etc

In daz, after applying the iray uber base shader and selecting PBR, theres like 5 different glossy/rougness related inputs, i can't for the life of me figure out which ones I should put in, I play around by trial and error but none of them turn out quite as the material should look, and I was under the impression the whole point of PBR is a material that should keep its look regardless of lighting, for the most part.

Also, is it better to pose by dragging things around freely or to use the sliders per individual body part?

>>576604
Well the IK rig is dogshit wrapped in catshit and the posing system as a whole is horseshit wrapped in bullshit, for a start.

And, the way I do it is to create a base for the pose by rotating the limbs individually. Generally only need to manipulate the upper and lower arms and legs, as well as hips and torso this way in order to create a decent pose. For finnickiness and small adjustments I tend to grab and drag a limb into position, but you have to continuously lock and unlock other limbs or the whole body will move with. It's shit.

Say what you want about TK17, but they at least get the posing system right. It can take me literally two minutes to create a decent pose in TK17 that would take me 15+ minutes in Daz Studio ONLY because the posing system is so fucking bad.

Why are all the third party breast shapes so shit for G8F and when will the damned easy convert be updated to not deform when posed.

Until Genesis 3 the Genesis figures could be converted for use in Poser.

What DS has over Poser right now is mainly a better set of shaders out of the box and that make it dead simple to set up, light and render a scene.

The G3/G8 figures are low res trash but they're bundled with the application and desperate vendors will jump on literally ANYTHING that's a DAZ figure because they sell well to whatever generation picks up DS as a hobby for a year and a half.

Poser won't reward lazy people with instantly great looking renders but I hasten to add that knowledgeable users have already invested heavily in graphics cards and external renderers like Octane/Reality for both DS and Poser.

DS has a few competitive features like geoshells and geografting but performancewise it starts to die when you have more than a few figures in a scene.

You won't get fucked learning either program.

Well, somebody already broke DAZ's DRM already, iray is honestly pretty shitty if it wasn't for Nvidia probably paying DAZ to include it, and locking it down just means DAZ will forever remain an amateur application that can't integrate into other work flows and only used to make shitty Patreon porn.

It's very much the other way around. Nvidia's filings make it clear they make a good bit of revenue from licensing Iray across multiple products and vendors and they don't need DAZ at all.

A company that now designs video game models only uses a totally closed ecosystem discouraging the use of any other software, even Bryce WHICH THEY OWN.
Its animation tools are so garbage that people are literally paying people instead to animate fuck loops of video game characters with sharp ass polys in SFM.

Please suggest how I would get Teen Josie 6's shape and textures to G8F.

It's probably the worst thing posted in this thread.

you've taken all the fun out of it, you have

the pose is good, the eyes are actually focused on something, etc.

Weapon is the first thing you found. Rambo knife doesn't match the character.
Texture has no wrinkles, age spots, teeth could be yellower and to a much lesser degree so could the sclera.
Old people hair is not only whiter but a fuckload drier (go to church regularly for examples, I do) so make the speculars less silky looking.

I have no interest in critiquing the morph since it's 3DUniverse's and not your own.

G8F and G3F uses the same UV map, so use this tutorial although it seems a bit tedious.

With the shape... well, I think genX2 to G3, and then convert with that DeviantArt tool from G3 to G8? Should work in theory, but again, pretty tedious.

LOL. There's 20% Toon Generations (set at age 30) in there, the rest is free sharecg stuff (circular eyes, cariactures from a guy called mythcons), "200+ morphs", default morphs, and Morpheus. The morph is as much mine as any Daz3D morph is anybody's. The skin texture is 3DUniverse though but the bump and spec maps are not... the eye textures are mine own as well.

Thanks for the other critique though.

>>576870
do you know of any daz character that comes with old person skin texture?
