It's great that you are starting to make some uptodate tutorials for your software. The main problem with DAZ (in my opinion) is -there isn't much info regarding proper workflows on using it, and DAZ isn't so obvious so you can easily figure them yourself. If you will be making more educational stuff then a lot more people will be using it I think.

@@Daz_3D I think the most difficult topic would be the overall rigging process and transferring\painting the weights for custom made cloth so that it deforms correctly with character. For example, it could be something hard surface. And extending the skeleton - wings, braids, additional dress bones, etc. Also lighting and shading (materials\textures preparation) and tweaking all of this in Studion (quick overview of settings and then proper workflow on how to use it to achieve quickly good results) Something like its would've been great

[@MegaMitrandir]

@@Daz_3D also what about importing fbx to daz or this format only for exporting? what is the proper workflow of importing assets with textures assigned?

[@amybruh3443]

these characters look ugly

[@obviousalias9506]

Helpful! Thanks!

[@matbroomfield]

How about some videos on how to use the incomprehensible Shader Mixer with Iray? It speaks volumes that there doesn't appear to be a single tutorial video on the whole internet covering the topic.

Can you please show us how to create a scene in Daz of a couple hugging/embracing? If you create a tutorial on this, can you also add background props to the scene? For example, the couple could be in front of a coffee shop where there's some outdoor tables, other customers and the coffee shop building in the background. Another example is that the couple could be indoors in a place like a kitchen, where there's a refrigerator, stove, counter, and other items in the background. My point is that it would be helpful to see a detailed scene, as well as learn how to pose the 3D models together in more intimate poses (like hugging).

It would be great if, when you make a mistake, you could turn the thing off and turn it back on and that fixed it. For instance this morning I tried the joint editor and it is still editing everything. I cannot turn it off. Same thing happened yesterday when I accidently deleted the scene tab. Took hours of googling to discover how to turn the damn thing back on

It would be great if you worked on streamlining exporting assets to Blender. I’m having a few issues with Daz sets- getting them into blender.

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

@Victor Noeisa yeah I noticed that- its pretty awesome now, and getting better. The Unreal Bridge still needs a little love (for transparency maps), but they are working on it.

[@primieralex24]

thx my prof...

[@BloomTotallyHere]

My dude doesnt need a rifle, he needs clothes

[@PhilSandersonAuthor]

For some strange reason, when I try to parent the prop into his hand, it only places it near his elbow instead.

[@hunter7777]

I guess my comment got deleted from yesterday. I noticed that the actor that you placed is a paid asset & some of us don't have that asset. It would be helpful if you would include only free assets in you video tut. And also the props are paid assets as well.

[@user-fn2vp1sw1h]

7-20-2023, I second that statement . I don't have them work pieces ! .

[@1917MSC]

I didn't even know you could spawn a character to a specific location rather than default center location.

[@xx1292]

This software is supposed to be for beginners? It's more complicated than Maya and Houdini lol

[@---yu4ff]

Thank you for getting rid of that hateful intro soundtrack.
