Description
Hello everyone and thanks for looking.
This may sound hard to believe, especially since I've been posting pictures here since 2006, but this is the first image I've created using Daz/Studio.
After playing with Poser and other rendering software for a while, I've been amazed by some of the work that other artists are getting out of it, and thought I should probably give it a try. It's been a stretch trying to get familiar with D|S's format and interface, and if anyone has any tips or advice, please let me know! I'm especially looking for info on lighting, because I'd really like to do some work with more realistic lights than Poser seems to be capable of.
Thanks,
Tom

Outstanding character and material work.*****
Great image! very nice work! as for any tips, I wish I coud help you, but I'm still tweaking mine to get the right feel for it.
Good work on your first render with DAZ! It's a great time to start with DAZ Studio because DAZ Studio is beginning to drift away from Poser since its well supported by DAZ 3D. DAZ Studio can read Poser figures, poser scenes, and use light setups; but in my experience DAZ Studio has its own shaders, lights, and other technologies that is setting it apart from Poser. For instance, the biggest difference between Poser and DAZ Studio is how they implement Dynamic Cloth right now. It was such a complete departure that many Poser users are jealous of what DAZ Studio's dynamic cloth is capable of doing. Another difference is that Poser Magnets are converted into D-formers in DAZ Studio. Other than that. . . Using DAZ Studio can be harrying for the Poser user, but if you work with it you can achieve the same results. It took me a while to learn the program, and I'm still learning how lighting works in it. But you can work at learning it. The important thing to know how to use DAZ Studio is to look up Greywulf's blog over at http://blog.microlite20.net Go over the tutorials he has in using DAZ Studio. And you can learn them in great detail.
Stunning work, great lighting
You sir are a very class act! You upload very beautiful artwork and, you thank us for taking the time to look at it. Well I for one want to thank you for sharing your work. When I finally get my new computer, get the hang of Poser 7, AND get up the courage to submit a render to Renderosity; I hope I'll have the nerve to follow your example. Thanks for everything.
Looks like your doing a great job with it so far Tom and getting some good advice
really good character and pose...love the detail on the jewelry on the arms and legs
Well done! I like how the lighting came out.
Fanatastic work! Great pic!
She looks sweet! And oh no, don't go to the dark side!
Daz is starting to look good! I downloaded it a few years ago opened it up and thought hmmm.I dont have time 4 this now (learning). and never looked back! I was still tryin to get better with poser But I would like to work with there new dynamic cloth engine!! Any way Your image looks very good Its hard to tell its your first attempt with daz! Lets see what you can do next!!
Very lovely indeed! DO keep up the good work! DPH
Fabulous first work in D/S Tom! I felt pretty much the same when I tried Poser for the first time. DAZ Studio has certainly made some great strides in the last couple of years and I still think it's interface is easier and more user friendly than Poser's - though that may just be me, cause I'm used to it :) Try out the UberEnvironment lights and shaders - you can add regular lights for effect. The new dynamic clothes are definitely worth a closer look as well.
stunning light effect.and fantastic prime work,you do great bro.
Beautiful pose and effect..nicely done!!
like your magical effect tom, great scene and model. steve
Very nicely done. I love the power of both Daz and Poser as they render images so differently.
Nice render cool effect!
Very nice scene. Great character, pose and outfit! Excellent work.
Gorgeous work!
Great pic and lighting!
She is very nice!
Great work, keep it up. I have tried DS but given up. Reall, I must try again..
Beautiful scene!!!!!!!
Great scene and character grass, look really good too. Great Daz render
D|S? lol, it ain't really free. Mine has run up a bill of about $250 in plugins alone. I'll send you my "must have" list and let you decide. Though I'm not a user of many other apps I can tell you that the materials in Studio need more tweaking than in most other apps. Neat render! Really cute pose.
wow! tom your work is amazing, terrific lighting...and great scene!!
Wow magickal Tom!
Great job! DAZ|Studio is a good alternate to Poser, but there are some features, that I'm missing, specially some lightoptions. For example, you can't give your light a texture or volume; or you can't get a shadow on the ground without a groundplane. That's what I'm missing most. I've read that there is a material room in progress, I hope, it could be the answer :)
Splendid pose and light FX ! Excellent image !
