Daz 3D, Blender and more
The very first Daz tutorial I published here was how to make morphs for your character, but I was recently asked how to make morphs for clothing. Specifically clothing they had bought or downloaded. To be honest to process is almost identical, however I wanted to cover it again because there are some differences and […]
Today we are going to take a look at how to use metaballs in Blender to fake a fluid that ‘totally’ couldn’t be using for renders of an adult nature. What is a Metaball? First up, just what is a metaball? Well metaballs are objects which ‘merge’ together when in close proximity. This is great […]
One of the trickiest parts of any interior based scene is the fact that a path trace renderer such as iRay will generally take quite a while to converge to any acceptable level. There are however some simple tips that can be used to reduce render times quite significantly. Let’s take a look. Lack of […]
Poke Through, or poke-through is the bane of all 3D artists when it comes to using tight fitting clothing. Whether that be stockings, tights (pantyhose), a catsuit or something else, a tiny spot of poke through can pull a sigh out of the best of us. Never fear though there are some ways to prevent […]
This tutorial has probably been done a thousand times, but I’m going to give my spin on it. So strap in, buckle up, and let’s get going with how to get a SFM model into Blender. REDxEYE Source Tools To make things simple we are going to use the io_mesh_SourceMDL package from Github. This is […]
Bloom is something I’ve seen divide opinions. When used properly I think it can be used to great effect. It can, however, be horribly misused. With all that being said, today we are going to take a look at how you can add bloom to your image using Affinity Photo. Why Not Use iRay Bloom? […]
One of the trickiest parts of working in Daz Studio, is when you want to have the model wear heels. The first problem is getting a set of heels that are well fitted and well made. I can tell you from experience making heels is not easy, but a well modelled pair with morphs for […]
iRay has a lot of features including the ability to add Depth of Field with the camera. Honestly Depth of Field should always be added via the camera, if at all possible. However you might want more control during post processing or might want to try an unrealistic DOF a traditional camera cannot achieve. I’ve […]
Today we are going to look at how to make Daz Studio 3D character morphs. In particular, body morphs. I will be working with Genesis 8 here, but you can apply most of this to Genesis 3 too. Getting The Base Mesh First up we need a base mesh to work on. I’ll put instructions […]
I’ve been playing around some more with simple asset creation in Blender recently and decided to try and make something simple that was actually useful. So here is a very simple crate I have created. It is low poly and is textured (via Cycles) with a simple wood texture. I’m not very good with texturing […]
