Back to Vue for The Last Stand
I’ve spent quite a lot of time playing around in Daz|Studio, Carrara and Poser for my rendering recently, but for this latest piece, I’ve gone back to Vue, which I think is still one of my favourite render engines, particularly for making more arty-looking fantasy pictures. This is a scene from a story I finally…
Exporting from Daz|Studio to Poser and Vue
Tonight, I’ve been trying to export scenes from DAZ|Studio and see how well they render. I bunged a Genesis figure with some morphs and a nice texture into a scene, and exported as both Collada (.dae) and Wavefront Obkect (.obj) formats. First off, here’s the original DAZ|Studio 4.5 Pro render, uberenvironment, 4 lights. Now here’s…
A Poser User’s Perspective on Daz|Studio
Daz|Studio Week 1 Review Since I’ve failed miserably to get the DSON importer working for Poser, and if I want any hope of being able to use the latest Genesis figures from DAZ, then I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and figure out how to get better renders in Daz|Studio. So I’ve…
My first Daz|Studio Render (that isn’t pants)
Daz|Studio is 3D posing, rendering and animation software that has been available for free for many years. I’ve never been a fan. I found Poser first, and have happily paid for upgrades to it since about 2004, and firmly believe it’s well worth the money. I’ve used a lot of different 3D modelling and rendering…
Conan Obsession…?
After a period of self-imposed austerity measures, I finally got hold of this awesome ‘Altas‘ morph and texture pack from Renderosity. I’ve been duly making Conans with it ever since. This one was rendered in Poser Pro 2012. Growing up, I loved Robert E Howard’s tales of Conan, the quintessential barbarian hero, and I read…
Unexpected Benevolence
Well, after I gave Daz’s Victoria3 a bit of a whirl after a long absence the other night, it seemed only fair to brush the dust off Michael3 and breathe some life back into him too. I’ve used the EZ Skin script on one of the MOTY textures, and also experimented with my own 3-point…
