    Hello,

    Pleased to meet you all. I'm a professional musician at night, a software developer during the day and a background actor in 'Tinsel Town' flicks whenever they film in my state. I stumbled on Daz Studio a couple years ago and looked it over but never dove into it until now. I consider myself very artistic beyond music but drawing is something I was never good at so DAZ Studio really inspired to me to get the scenes in my head on to a visual medium. I am utterly amazed at what Daz is capable of and have come to be a little addicted. I think there's an 'I need help I haven't bought DAZ content for 15 minutes' thread on here somewhere LOL.

    I am thrilled to take part in this huge community and I am also wondering if anyone has a good tutorial for UV unwrapping in Hexagon. The links to the Hexagon tutorials about this subject are all dead so any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    -P

    Welcome back to 3D. DS has changed a lot since then. You should really like it. If you downloaded the current version of DS you get Genesis "Male and Female" Starter Essentials, you will also get Genesis 2 and 3 (Male and Female) Starter Essentials. Those are the base figures that all the new charters are built off of. I suggest you using DIM (DAZ Install Manager) to install all your content. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the New Users forums and we'll get you sorted out.

    Hi All,

    I dabbled with Poser and Vue about 15 years ago for a bit, but stopped after a couple years. A month ago I remembered being able to create some really good 2D illustrations using the software. Upon doing a bit of reasearch I saw that DAZ studio might be a better alternative to Poser, so I downloaded a copy and have been trying to get up to speed again.

    @repaschdonny: When you say software, do you mean the DAZ Install Manager or DAZ Studio? 

    Usually since OS X 10.7 we need to rightclick the file and choose Open... on newly downloaded softwares to tell GateKeeper that we want to run this software (and that is a one time operation telling GateKeeper that you want to run it). This goes for any software  taht is not signed, and you cannot sign an installer that do anything out of the usual.

    Hi everybody!

     

    Hmm... it's hard to say anything about me, 'cause I'm an absolute newbie in all kinds 3D Art etc.

     

    I'm a singing and yoga teacher, based in Zurich,  that loves to play around with technical stuff but actually doesn't know anything about it.

    I love creating different characters and was searching for a tool, that helps me do this in a realistic 3D. So here I am :) 

    Struggling to understand how everything works, but curious.

    :)

    Cheers,

    Leyla

    Hello, I'm call Darce. I recently found interest in 3d rendering and found a reference to Bryce today while search some cartographer’s map renditions. The reference came from Anna B. Meyer (http://ghmaps.net/greyhawk-maps/online-map/). She's been working on her maps with Bryce for 15 years now. I downloaded it immediately. I've been using Blender, Make Human, Photoshop, and SketchUp. One of my interests is making a map of the World War 2 Omaha Beach. I found a LiDar point cloud of the whole beach area from a current aerial scans by a research company in France. I would also like to create original maps for Fantasy Gaming like Anna's.

    Thanks for that awesome link Darce, I am an old school AD&D fanatic (since early 1980s) with Greyhawk Campaigns that I'd like to draw 3d art for. Welcome aboard!

    Hi everybody, im Victor. Im been using Poser since edition 4 but just in my spare time... more like a hobby.

    I Recently switched to Daz Studio and start to learn everything i can.

    Hi there! I've just downloaded the latest DAZ3D and am keen to finally learn how to use this puppy.  Over the years I've installed and then uninstalled DAZ because I just haven't had the time or understanding to create what I want. Now, however I am hopefully in a position to finally focus on learning.

    I am an ebook cover artist who lives in Australia.  I am a self taught photomanipulator and digital artist and Photoshop CC is my platform.  Sadly I have found over the last few years of creating the same old style romance and erotic romance book covers that my creativity has hit a major rut. I'm hoping to learn more about DAZ Studio so that I can create characters or scenes for basic artworks that can eventually be turned into covers if the need arises.  I have to admit that whilst watching many tutorials for using DAZ that I still have SOOOO many questions.  For example, I recently spent hours creating a 'cityscape' that I was wanting to render and incorporate into a piece I was working on. However when I went to insert the supposed render PNG of this cityscape it was miniscule! So small that it just looked like a line on my artwork.  So no doubt you all see my silly questions popping up around the place, please be patient with me lol!

    repaschdonny

    I had a mac as well and I had to switch to intell because when downloading software or games the mac osxwas very picky at downloaded software or other software like daz, that's what some guy

    at a store told me when i purchased a new mother board for my computer last year ? but you might be able to call the apply helpline and ask them depending on what type of procesor you have.

    so far I have a evga grapic card and a z87-gd65 gaming mother board msi, i used to do animation work on poser til i switched to daz, however when i run avi footage on daz studio my mircosoft 1 video takes time and freezes here and there, till you play it a second or third time than the video loads fine ?. but from what a hear with my processor  i can constanly upgrade.

    I my self might need a upgrade to fullyrender and upload daz studio avi format, or if anyone out there who might use other faster processor mother board or modem that I don't know about using windows please let me know for I myself am curious ?

    also have you used the rocket laucher to install daz or anyother programs to your apple when i owned a apply it took me awhile to find the laucher, but then agian that's just me LOL.

  • wingpeg021wingpeg021 Posts: 42

    also you might want to check your daz install manager under installations, and find your daz studio pathway is loacated so you may run daz studio with out a problem if that may be the case ?

  • wingpeg021wingpeg021 Posts: 42

    and jokingly i mean't apple sorry for the incorrect english ?

    Hello my name is Charlie. I am new to 3D art, but have found it as a way to not be frustrated by picturing things in my mind that I cannot draw by hand. It's all new to me.

    Well, I'm starting up my art thread in the other forum, so I figured I'd finally pop in here first.  I started poking at this around February, immediately got way too much stuff from Rederosity and ShareCG than I could work with, and now I'm making renders and trying to keep a budget on the DAZ store.  I've been trying to sort it into categories along with determining which ones work, but i got a ton of the stuff, most of which works poorly, and I'm still not entirely done.  At work I use AutoCAD as my 3d modeling program, so this is a bit of a sideways step. 

    My goal is to make my roleplaying game characters, but coming up with all the accessories they carry around has proved difficult.  Especially potions and such.

    I also make music videos and textile projects, and dabble in wood, leather, metal, and glass work.  But I can't hand-draw or paint.  You can find my stuff on deviantart (http://thistledownsname.deviantart.com/), animemusicvideos.org (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_myprofile.php?user_id=48272), and youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/thistledownsname/videos)s)

    Hallo,

    My Judith and I am a newbie to DAZ 3d programming. I have no skills in creating 3D art, but I am willing to learn and this seems like a great place to start.
