Hi,

First, I apologies for my bad english (it is not my native language).

I started to use Daz3d Studio when the 4.0 was released and bought a pro version (no troll please).

It took me some time to learn enough of our hobby's vocabulary to understand what is what... Then I tried to do renders...

In the way I bought Carrara and fought with it for a while and gave up (yes a shame...) the interface for me is too much like Poser's one (I don't hate Poser I just find its interface not intuitive for me).

It took me a long time to understand why my render were "ugly"... They were like that because I understood nothing about Lights and camera.

After that I succeed to do few good render with Luxrender and 3Delight. I took a break and came back for Genesis 3 and Iray.

I will show here few renders I kept in the long run and some of the latest.

I mostly used Daz3d to create illustrations of my non player characters and my characters for roleplaying game (on table top).

I'd like some advices to improve.

    First 3 of my old Luxrender one's.

    The last one took me like 5 times 72 hours rendering (old core 2 duo at that time), and hours of fighting with poke throughs ;)

    It was also one of the few skin texturing I did, I grew more respect for people doing them after hours and hours trying to get what I wanted...

    Here some 3delight and some luxrender rendering.

    I had some issues with eyes reflections (missing, not right ...).

    Anyway, I post them so you could see some not bad ones and compare them to my last ones...

    Currently, I am working on many characters, I started with the women and I am just beginning with the guys so I'll show them later.

    I did all in the same environment, sometimes with a change of angle or place in it.

    All are iray rendering, and like all my renderings without post rendering photoshoping.

    I know some need fixing, but I take a break before coming back to those.

    Please give me comments / tips, surely I can improve these rendering smiley

    Welcome Sioc, a lot of very beautiful characters. Love the Star Trek Trill character. :)

    Are those characters morph dials or is it modelling work in an external programm?

    For some advice on rendering you may take a look at the New Users Contest: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/categories/new-user-contests-and-events

    Wether you want to participate or not, the WIP Threads are open for everyone to get some feedback and tipps.

    @MN-150374 : mostly it's dial-up, some texture editor, a little L.I.E. a few custom morph done thru dform, or silo and injected thru obj as morph.

    I did more texturing stuff lately.

    Here a new render with Ashiva the Mirialan.

     

    Render done in 3375 x 6000, used photoshop filter -> noise > anti-dust with 1 and 1 as settings then reduced the image size to half, no other image manipulation.

     

    And yes I noticed the trouble with feet/footwear ...

    So, last week I converted my G3 character called Ariane to G8 and offer her a new wardrobe.

    I forgot that one, some people told me that my Ashiva character render was too green and so the contrast wasn't here and the image looked like it had a green layer over it.

    So I redid the render but I changed the pattern colors to orange.

    There it is:
