![]() Have fun doing art, brah.Daz Productions has purchased this plugin and made it available for free at the Daz Marketplace. ![]() Dk if Octane does this as well, though I'm sure it should. Its render times are longer (actually, it's up to the user to cancel the render), but the good thing is that it lets you change the strength of your lights in real time. Reality is much cheaper, and uses both CPU and GPU. OctaneRender allows for nearly instant renders, but use it only if you have an Nvidia GPU (I don't) and if you're willing to pay $100+ for a usage license (again, you could torrent, but I don't know how well such a software would work). OctaneRender, unlike Iray, which uses the CPU and Nvidia GPU, uses Nvidia GPUs exclusively. The best engines for Daz Studio are OctaneRender and Reality 4.2, a plugin that utilizes the Luxrender open-source engine. ![]() IRay is a bit difficult to set up, and 3Delight is rather hard to use. Daz Studio comes with 3Delight, a biased engine, and Iray, an Nvidia based unbiased engine. I also recommend investing in an unbiased render engine (if you're not doing animation) because unbiased engines give the most realism and are easier to use to simulate real light. It's the difference between something like this versus something like this. It separates amateurish work from that of the professionals. Regardless of what you do, the most important aspect of 3D art is the lighting. Then again, I've also seen a lot of great stuff by hobbyists, so don't negate them altogether. ![]() ![]() Actually, professional animation studios spend weeks modeling and rigging (creating a model's "skeleton" to designate joints and areas of movement) their figures, depending on the complexity of the figure. Keep in mind that these models are done by hobbyists in their free time for no pay, so they aren't exactly the best or most versatile to use. But about the models, there are a lot of free ones available for download. It has that functionality, but it is much better if you use SFM or even better, Blender. Big market of resources and models available for purchase (or torrent, if you're in a tight spot). ![]()
