Bionicskillz - My DAZ 3D projects
I just want to say I'm pumped! I've been messing around with DAZ for the past few days and got very far. I can't tell you how excited I am with some of my test projects. I was first thinking of short comic stories I want to do but I starting animating and I'm blown away by what I was able to do so far. A lot of credit goes to the program and artists who made the content I'm using but have a look and meet Valentina:

What's your process in creating the animation? With a static camera it seems like you could speed the render time up by only rendering Valentina and keep the background static there. That would require to render as an image sequence and turn the images into a video using another tool. As a bonus, there's no real loss in case of a crash as any frame that was rendered is already saved.

Still, having 399 images in little more than three hours sounds very fast, especially considering the lack of NVIDIA. Some of the higher quality animations I made took days/weeks to render - but that was 1080p with full 3d background and all...

Don't get me wrong; when I didn't touch the Iray default settings and rendered an image, just one image, it took me around an hour and 45 minutes. But, yes, rendering 399 in under 4 hours wasn't that bad for a non Nvidia computer. All rendering is down on the CPU and I'm using a 2017 Imac with a 4.2 GHz Core i7 with 24gb of ram so I guess that helps a bit. but my comp fan is spinning like crazy.

Yes. That was one of the first videos I saw when I started the program last week. I was able to deform some stuff but it all depends on the geometry of the prop so sometimes it looks weird but I was successful with an iron door prop I have. I'll post it soon.
