News: Daz Premier replaces prior subscriptions and doesnt add much aside from a free character bundle every month and some tools that are worse than using another software like blender or maya.

Some anon created a cool character morph. Meet Quinn! https://mega(.)nz/file/rmZQWLKZ#lh4aluWj6drjfPLkW7FVAUVDaOZZqJfqjoAvsREDo7U

Post more Quinns!

My quinnposting didn't get any (You)s last thread.

>>1006700
She cute.

>>1006687
the original purpose of the request area was to give point rewards and encourage leakers to post some assets, like maybe if you get 50k points you could actually buy a 20 buck asset to leak it there was always this common courtesy thing to post the asset on the public archive right after the request got full-filled, and still like 90% of full-filled requests do get posted, but a small share of desirable coomer assets take a long fucking time to get shared and get re-requested to get even more point

>>1006697 (OP)
ND3D themed OP when??

I have the ability to detect renders made by boomers.

>>1006845
Fish in a barrel with Daz. If its lewd, there is 99% chance of some old ugly bastard self insert.

>>1006844
when these threads get about 40% more based
unfortunately there's still too many hebephobes in the threads

middle one is based on kirsty btw, I made her a jewish qt, blonde hair didn't fit her at all
Mickey as the gigastacey and Romina as the ginger tomboy

Where can I find good, detailed skin textures for G8?

>>1006845
99% of daz renders look like they were made by the same person. I hate how ugly most of them look and how incapable of learning they are

>>1006865
So this is the power of Genesis 3?

>>1006700
Quinnburger! Now that's an idea. Have her working at a fast food place and reacting like the chick fil a "no sauce" girl

>>1006920
That's not Quinn!

havent posted in a long while. Well here is a WIP

>>1006931
>>1006932
Nice, these on your pixiv?

>>1006936
not yet. Just made some ME stuff this weekend and the Hermione stuff was just from today.
Ill update my pixiv with 3 ME images and some Hermione pin-ups

no longer banned

>>1007159
I dont know how you got flack for it before. Each iteration of your Emma looks better and better. Also more mature.

>>1007160
>I dont know how you got flack for it before
well each to his own I say.
>Each iteration of your Emma looks better and better. Also more mature.
well thanks anon. Now that I am unbanned ill start posting regular in this thread again!

>>1007159
pls, don't oldhagify the emma

>>1007159
Add stuff to your F95 thread? I missed the Mass Effect image. Or, do you have another site somewhere?

Can someone please show/tell me the default sliders for a G9 character?
(click character -> surfaces -> currently used).
I have a tons of crap installed and a lot of it modifies the default morph.

Thank you in advance.

>>1007201
Snip created on a machine with only the default install sets. Hidden values shown.

I saw an anon criticizing genesis 9 because it's the same body base for men and women, which according to him, generates less anatomically well-made women than the previous genesis.
But all DAZ products are being released for genesis 9 these days, so I guess there's no avoiding it anymore, right?

>>1007214
It will be 50 years before G9's library is as large as G8's, so you won't need to switch over until then.

>>1007216

>>1007196
sure, ill upload it all today

>>1007166
too late. The wall shows no mercy

>>1007214
You can use 95% of G8 assets with G9 and vice versa.

>>1007241
>You can use 95% of G8 assets with G9
Correct.
>and vice versa
False.

>>1007214
I've heard it the other way that the men are less accurate. But it looks fine to me, do a comparison yourself.

>>1007243
There's add-ons to use G9 clothes, hair, and poses on other gens.

>>007159
>>006931

god damn this shit looks so fucking ass kill yourself. also fuck your yous

Please help me find this outfit. Particularly, the robe. Oddly, I can't seem to find a kings robe anywhere other than this one image which was used for a pack that didn't even include it.

>>1007373
I found it first try kek. Had a feeling it was a Santa retexture

What is the right option for those who want to animate models?
I've tried Cascadeur, it's a good program and it's very intuitive to create animations in it, but to migrate the animation to DAZ Studio afterwards you need the paid version of the program. And there's the whole problem of DAZ with hair, clothes, etc., not coping well with animations. The lack of physics in DAZ is also critical.
Should I just learn to use Blender?

>>1007393
>Cascadeur
is it that good?

>>1007394
Seconding this question. I've seen it shilled all over, but I have no clue if it is actually worth a try.

>>1007394
>>1007395
I've only done basic things in Cascadeur but it seemed very good for animations and even poses. It has an interesting thing that looks like what you see in video games, where it applies physics to the models during interpolation. The model kind of tries to balance itself during movement, as if it were a physics-based game.
But the good thing is that you can import a Genesis 8 or 9 model without having to do anything, so it's super easy to put a basic model in there and start posing it, or animating it. The problem is that to export the result to DAZ again, you need to pay for the program to unlock the “export to DAZ” option.

>>1007400
How does it fares with geografts? Tits, cocks, and all that.

>>1007400
hmmm interesting... will have to look into that. Thanks anon

>>1007401
I've managed to import models with extra things, for example with “breastacular” instead of the model's normal boobs, but the extra things aren't recognized automatically, so you'll have to rig these things.
I think the right way to work with the program is to use a standard Genesis model, like in this video:

https://youtu.be/0AwJSRjCwwI?si=Jhc-PNXlhDtpCfE1

>>1007404
>I think the right way to work with the program is to use a standard Genesis model
That kinda defeats the purpose, though. Still, I'll look into it, it could be nice.

>>1007404
Sorry, in this video he doesn't show the application in a customized DAZ model. Here the same guy does a basic test:

God dam these Emma uploads look amazing. Mind if i ask which emma morph your using and textures?

>>1007412
its some autistic homebrew anon

>>1007375
Good shit. Thankyou.

>>1007393
>>1007394
Cascadeur is cool and I can confirm it works but I found it very hard to use. Could not for the life of me get the feet to be stable without screwing something else up. I've never been able to get good at blender either though. If you're trying to work with Daz you're going to have problems no matter what and you just have to deal with it.
>you need the paid version of the program
I think it's just an activation key. You can find it online.
>And there's the whole problem of DAZ with hair, clothes, etc., not coping well with animations.
Don't even bother importing hair or clothes into cascadeur. Worry about that after you've imported the animation back to Daz.

>>1007418
no pls no, don't oldhaggify the emma

Is there a simple way to move several nodes of a character at the same time? I think it's insane that this isn't possible (apparently). For example, you select both hands, and position them forward, but at the same time, instead of having to do this for each hand individually.

>>1007453
PowerPose? Default is decent but there's also alternate templates.

>>1006700
heres your (You)
>>1006903
yes someone do this
>>1006924
still a classic render

>>1007473
>buy an 5090 to use a free 3d posing program
what? 5090s are like 4000$+ and if you got that cash to burn on a card then maybe you would also buy some more professional 3d suites?

>>1007491
You can still use DAZ for everything but rendering. Pretty much the only thing it has going for it is the big library of character assets and the ease of use with how you can save and load poses and characters.

>>1007473
Thoughts on this series of threads? Good for inspiration maybe?

OGG general? haha well ill take a look then....
reminds me that I need to update my gobbos

but wait, there's more!

>ND3D actually released an adult character
WOW

I happened to watch a video on YouTube about Daz 4.23 and it seems that there are some interesting new features regarding the application of physics to hair and clothes, does anyone know if this is true? I'm using 4.22 and I don't intend to update to see what's new (I'm afraid of breaking something).
Also, there's that Filatoon characters, for genesis 9. I think an anon experimented with it a few threads ago. What do you think of Filatoon? It seems like a decent way to render characters for creating sprites for games. And you don't need to render anything, filatoon is made to work directly in the filament render, so it's basically real-time rendering.

are there any good long elf ear morphs

>>1007651
I am still on old 4.22 and dreading the upgrade. Usually it breaks all my scripts and such. So unless there are some serious new stuff I will kinda avoid it.
Dont know about the new physics? Sounds interesting

>>1007651
>>1007676
I thought most of the upgrades required the daz subscription tier? Either way, I have both the latest public and beta as well as the sub. Point out something specific and I'll try my best to explain it or show some shots in this thread.

>>1006697 (OP)
Copy pasting from the previous thread since I didn't notice it's old
Ok, anons I know absolutely nothing about 3d modeling, can I start with daz, and these tutorials I can find in this thread and daz site, or do I need to start with something more basic?
I'm not gonna lie, I was thinking about making some porn as a hoby, since I enjoy the same.
And what kind of pc do I need, since my current one is kinda shitty.

>>1007747
If you want to learn 3d modeling, that is, creating your own 3d stuff, then no, DAZ can't do that. If you want to take pre-existing models and make porn images with them, then yes, DAZ is good for that. If you want to make animations, then I would'nt recommend DAZ, Blender is a great place to start for that.
You "can" make some basic renders with a basic PC, but expect some crashes and to have hours long render times if you want to create something with good quality. In order to not have this problem, then you need to invest in a good GPU and good RAM, though I'm not an expert here so do your own research.

This Orchid vajayjay in the official store looks halfway decent. That combined with the celebrity lookalikes they've been allowing must mean that the Mormons have finally accepted what this product is for.

whats the best place to pirate daz models? i know cgpeers has some daz models but most of the models im looking for are not there.

>>1007807
just read the last thread idiot

How the hell can anyone follow along with videos by imagine everything. That guy rambles and goes off on tangents nonstop. Where is the structure!

>>1007643
you cant have enough Emma clones!

>>1007924
Highly interested in that middle one

>>1007807
Just google the full name of the asset and you should find multiple sites as long as it is available.

>>1007892
Looks like my boyfriend

>Diffeomorphic recently added a way to auto downscale all textures locally from your DAZ exports
Holy shit what a fucken save
I can finally render scenes with tons of vegetation and 5-6 characters, 90% of the vram used by DAZ assets are these horribly overkill 16k textures
