I know at least one artist that uses this for romance novel covers and another who does it for their comic - neither of which you’d recognise as being “Poser art”. I’m not talented enough nor have the contacts in DAZ/Renderosity/RDNA/etc to make it worth my while now.Īvoiding the “is it art” debate, I’ve found that the software (in general) is used in one of two ways:ĢD Foundation Art: By this I mean the artist sets up and poses the figure, creates a basic scene, sets up basic lighting, etc and then uses a render of that as the foundation on top of which they paint the actual end piece. Made content for sale for a while back when the pocket money I got for it was worth the time and effort. I’ve used DAZ Studio & Poser in the past. It’s a matter of time for daz and poser to either radically revamp their stuff or become outdated To me it’s interesting to see where the money go- especially with VR right around the corner.
I am sure that it will one day get more respect from the cg world. People modding and creating content, buying content.Īnyway, I shouldnt bash the software or its community too much. freemium MMORPG game makers, Porn game makers like Illusionsoft and others are already adopting the daz/poser business model- but with better technology. You can get better framerate in real time. You can get better looking skin in real time. There are real time solutions out there that run faster than daz/poset and look better. Realistic character+ something that “feels” wrong = uncanny valley Realistic character + NPR material = uncanny valley Very Stylized character+ realistic material = uncanny valley It all makes up a bad piece.Īnd when they share stock assets from the software- it looks even worse. Stiff breasts, plastic skin, bad lighting, dead eyes and awkward poses. Alot of daz stuff is just badly executed realistic- leading to uncanny valley effect.
When you try to evoke lust in the viewer, your model needs to either be stylized or very well executed as realistic. The problem with photorealistic 3d models is that you get to the uncanny valley. Not because of its pornographic nature, but the execution of it. It can all be judged, just as you would do with a regular film/still image.Īnd the bottom line is - a lot of the DAZ content looks bad. If you look at the way the camera is framing the scene, the materials, the lighting… If you look at the way the model is made - you can judge it aestetically.Ī model can be incredibly nice, but if its posed badly- its ruined.
