Getting realism on DAZ

rickfoxxx74331700

I have some questions about how get realism on Daz Studio.

1. Is there something like "EZSkin2" or "V4 skin realism kit" for DAZ?

2. Luxus or Reality? I have understood that both work with LuxRender. Which is better? Which is more fast?. Is there any significant difference between the two?

3. Can you recommend any tutorial for get realistim with DAZ studio render?

Thanks in advance.

There are some SSS shaders and HSS/ESS based skins. they all render better than plan skins. But lighting is what counts here too, lighting and how the shader is setup, or materials tweaked.

Speed is the same (LuxRender). Which one is best is a matter of taste, MacDonalds or Burger King? Luxus has an advantage when it come to simper material setup, Reality have more control. But you can get very good realism with 3Delight. Many think that the renderer in DAZ Studio is just a simple toy render engine, but check out 3Delight.com what has been done with that engine, the toy of hollywood. DS doesn't have all features yet, or mostly lack shaders for the most advanced things, but anyone can write a shader if you know how, to get really awesome results.

There are several out there. There is one from Age of Armor regarding the SubsurfaceScatter shader which is very good and easy to follow.
