5/26/2023 0 Comments How to models from daz3dI am going to make an assumption (as I will in the main series) that you have a certain level of kit. This post will cover some basics, and then the next post will cover customising your models and getting the best renders possible. This will be a three-part series that will tie in with my (long-neglected!) series on designing your own book covers. Daz offers a world of models at your fingertips, to be dressed and posed exactly as you need them. Working as a book cover artist brought a new set of challenges (the limitations of existing commercial stock) and a brand-new solution: 3D programmes, specifically Daz Studio. It was a revelation when I started using stock photography as a base for a finished image in Photoshop, working with layers and textures and overpainting with a Wacom tablet to finally be able to create the concept in my mind’s eye that was so let down by my stupid, untalented hand. I’ve always been good with colour and shading in my art, but my actual freehand drawing skills? Good enough for my mom’s refrigerator, but nothing that would lead to a professional career.
