In reply to Santosh.

Thank you very much! I pretty much use the same process in all of my images. https://thinkdrawart.com/pre-and-post-work-images-redhead-warrior-woman-fantasy-art

I really loved the examples you used. Would love to see some more and maybe some tutorials too, on how to create them.

In reply to Dawn.

Thank you so very much Dawn. Sorry for the late reply, but had a difficult week with one of my pups.

In terms of posing characters with objects, the key thing for me is to not be too afraid of collisions. When I sit on a chair, for example, my flesh gets pushed around some to conform to the chair. So when I pose my 3D figure, I make sure to set her down low enough that it looks like she is actually resting on the object surface, with a flatter (possibly with collision) rear and the right shadows. In contrast, a round rear will look more like she is floating on top of the object, because there is not enough contact and dispersion.

You can possibly also use the smoothing+collision parameter to control for collisions or perhaps Zev’s rear morphs. I haven’t tried those tho, so not sure how well they work.

Firstly, these tutorials are amazing. I am really new to Daz3D and having worked through the built in samples and user documentation I was looking for something to take me a bit further. Your tutorials fill that gap perfectly, please, please, please do more!
Secondly, are there any tips you would have to help put characters onto other objects, like the cats here, or beds, or chairs etc. Mine just seem to look “perched” on them, rather than blending in. Either that or they are overlapping somewhere!

Hey, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing all of this. I am a newcomer to Daz3D myself, and in addition, new to graphic art as a hobby (I have no prior experience other than art classes up through high school). Thanks in part to your tutorials here, I have already been able to create some renders that I am very proud of, given my lack of experience and skill. Keep doing what you do; you are amazing.

In reply to Dan Strelek. Thank you Dan! Writing is definitely a challenge for me, so I am very happy to hear this. Always difficult to stop rendering and start writing. :D

Shibashake, thanks for these extensive tutorials. I stumbled on to your page by doing a general google search looking for Daz tutorials, seeing as how I’ve JUST started myself. Needless to say I’ve bookmarked your site. These tutorials are well written and well organized. I especially appreciate the links to other topics you have written on. You’ve put quite a lot of work into this, and it shows. Trust me, it is greatly appreciated by this neophyte!

Daz is additive. The work I see some people doing with it is beyond amazing. It would be interesting to see an update of this article after a year, to see what you think of all the new additions to the program since this came out.
