/3/ - 3DCG

Daz Studio is free. It's for rendering and animation.
Hexagon is free. It's for vertex modelling.

I first got Daz Studio in 2012 because I was pissed off that those little wooden artist dolls never hold their pose and I wanted something to create reference images for me to draw from and it was free. I originally started just using the built in figures and primitives with grids plugged into the diffuse map and would lay out a rough scene and render it with one or two different coloured lights and use the information in the rough render to draw a picture. Then I started using hexagon to build props more complex than just a few primitives and discovered I loved building 3D models.It reminded me of when I was a kid and would kitbash my model kits. Eventually I ended up purchasing 3DCoat and Marvelous Designer so I could have even more modelling tools to make things with.

Now I relax by making models for use in Daz Studio and sharing them for free on Share CG so that other people can do creative things with them. It makes me happy that there are people out there building their own stories with assets I've made for Daz Studio.

I still sometimes use Daz Studio for making reference renders for 2D illustrations but these days I'm finding MagicPoser for android to be very good for that purpose.

This is where I share my Daz stuff.

It's a fun program and a great way to introduce yourself to 3D and if like me you discover you really enjoy the modelling side it's a good platform for rendering your creations.

I've got one more Gerudo inspired outfit in the works. I particularly enjoy doing outfits with head veils because then I don't have to model hair.
