  • Details

    Just about everyone that uses DAZ Studio would have come across Stonemason's amazing environments and props.

    His works range from mech robots to sprawling cityscapes, spanning the present, past, and future. His creations are featured in hundreds if not thousands of renders posted on various art and 3D gallery sites.

    This community workshop discussed and shared artworks that have used Stonemason assets, plus we had active "walkarounds" through some of his sets with the virtual camera in Daz Studio. The discussion and sharing included:

    • Favorite Stonemason assets
    • Personalizing sets
    • Converting his sets from 3DL to Iray
    • Custom lighting on Stonemason sets
    • Great camera angles found on the sets
    • Detailing and texturing
    • Virtual camera walkarounds on the sets
    • Preset camera angles
    • Stonemason accessory assets
