Had this one just tonight watching Hannibal...
OMG my PC could not handle all those winter trees and bushes with the Snow Shader applied. This to the Chase in the snow part.
That sounds good. It also sounds like an LSD-addict: "It enhances my senses and I see the reality much clearer now". ;)
yeah pretty much the same without the side effects in the morning. ;)
I'm still relatively fresh to designing my own clothing from scratch though, so it's taking longer than I expected to work out all of the bugs. Modeling the thing is the easy part; it's getting everything to behave in Daz Studio where the fun begins. Not sure if it's the best method, but I've been modeling it on the G2F child and reversing out the morph, adding fixer morphs where needed to tidy up the mesh. Daz loves to deform dresses to oblivion when using the transfer utility so there's much for me to learn about the best practices there.
I'd kill for a good tutorial on how to set these things up so the dress doesn't bunch up between the legs or otherwise distort. Sadly, there aren't many resources to go on so I've been piecing together bits of information and a using a lot of trial and error.
ahem...
Back on topic, I'm not sure that I've been 'destroyed' by Daz Studio, but I do find myself wondering how to capture the real world in the 3D realm I love so much. Looking at my desk and calculating how much light must be reflecting off it, for example, so that I can try and recreate that in Luxus. Or comparing the uneven refraction through a beer bottle with the more uniformed results from my work and wondering how I can reproduce that effect.
Since realism has always been one of my major goals, I'm constantly looking at things in a more analytical way . I've yet to truly capture realism to the degree I want, so research is always useful. Now if only that worked as a pick-up line. "Excuse me, can you help my 3D work by doing some posing?"...
Well if feeling like having been reborn is a side effect... :)
possibly and good side effect
I was on the bus today wondering how to make everyone's hair styles. Fibermesh or transmapped?
that is something I don't do. I suppose it comes from not bothering with human figures much, well not in the way others concentrate on.
I use to game but have given it up. This only shows up with me when I view 3d games. I want to get the models out of them and put them in Daz Studio. My ex plays Final Fantasy XI. So I'll go in and watch him and go batty. He's playing the game and I'm rating the models and animations. I care nothing about questing or fighting monsters anymore. I just wish these studios would release their stuff as freebies.....
I think this one may lead to problems ...
Asking her were her parameters tab is ... LOL
...hmmm, haven't heard that "come on" in a pub yet. (the key word is "yet"). ;-)
...Brave was even worse. They had to programme custom software and design custom hardware hardware just for creating and moving Merida's hair.
Yeah 3D has ruined me for going to the Cinema. Too much "CGEye Candy" these days. Sometimes I miss the days of models and motion programmes used in films like the original Star Wars and the first Trek film series.
My bank balance has definitely been destroyed by Daz!
But since working with 3D software I find that I look at the world very differently now. Especially working in Vue I now pay closer attention to lighting, how trees and plants populate and how natural decay in thinned out areas of nature work.
Watching films though has probably been the biggest victim. I can't watch an animation or blockbuster without thinking "how did they do that?", my wife regularly looks at me and says " you're thinking how you can do that in Daz and Vue aren't you?"
LOL :D
Mine started at a very young age... wanting to jump on anyone that made me mad (Mario)
and more recently, trying to turn on my eagle vision (Assassins' Creed)
and looking for a mirror modifier to apply to my pencil drawing (Blender)
but so far, nothing on DAZ Studio yet :)
I guess my toon-oriented art style has a lot to do with keeping me sane these days... otherwise i'd wanna edit the world parameters too
I catch myself trying to change the perspective or rotate an object when looking at magazines or web news sites.
Nope... It's not destroyed me. It has no control over my life what-so-ever. I'm not crazy and just to prove it, I'm cutting this post short so I can get back to the scene I'm working on at 2:46 am. :)
Sooooo ... you are still in denial?
Sooooo ... you are still in denial?
De Nile? Hmmm.... that could be an interesting scene. LOL!!!
I was watching an animated movie at the cinema the other night, and caught myself thinking, "ooh... nice physics!"
When I am in the subway I now every time look for pleasant faces and often think things like I would dial a slider here and there. Sometimes I see just perfect faces and then also some I would redo from scratch :-S
One thing I noticed for sure is that most of the males I see wear a wide variety of short hair and that I'd like to import these hairstyles in Studio 8-/
Stay away from a book on textures....you will never look at a wall the same way again....ever...
Ahhh... I always wondered and now I know my cat must have read that book. :)
