g8 dforce clothing on g9

tutorial on how to use g8f dforce clothing on the g9. it really depends on how the clothing you are using is made. geometry needs to be connected to each otherwise it wont work, and the whole thing will fall apart. but for simple things like small dresses, shirts and anything alike, this will wor...

expression and make up test

i think i did it correctly, the expressions all seem to work

make up is a lot harder to do with the g9 since there is a lot less surfaces set up. for the lips its really the easiest to just use a geoshell since they complete removed the lip surface, no id...

clothing fit problem

the problem we going to have with the g9 is this. since there are no standard morphs for the g9, its going to be impossible to create correction morph for clothing.

previous generations had a lot of standard partial body morphs, like breast size, cleavage, and a couple of full body morphs ...

saphy g9 - first setup

normal maps still missing
and not to happy with the nipps yet

g9 - transferred g8 diffuse map

this works too, its only the head diffuse map applied to the figure on the preview above, so she is a bit shiny and all that, but that will be fixed once i applied all appropriate maps

the way i transferred the map was using projection mapping inside 3ds max. if you using blender, maya or c...

g9 body morphs dress test

these are the base and the 3 body morphs that come with the essentials packs. the dress morphs really nice with each body morph

g9 dress test

this is the open back evening dress (g8f) (md) now fitted and rigged for the g9. and to my big surprise, it works really nice. just a simple utility transfer and works straight out of the box

genesis 9 - victoria 9

so, she is finally here. and what we got is kinda nice, i guess. vic9 looks amazing, but the morphs that come with the 2 essentials packs are pretty bare bones. there is a lot of morphs in them, but nothing useful. simple things like adjustable breasts, adjustable hips, adjustable waist, complete...

1650 - 8 geoshells

just testing how far i can push things on the gtx1650

if you hide everything that is not in view of the camera you can push things a lot further. bit of an overkill, but now i have 8 geoshells applied to the g8. this does raise the render time significantly. render time: 23 min

1650 shirt test

just testing how far i can push things on the gtx1650

stocking and open shirt, shirt is draped inside daz. background is added in environment tab, 2k hdri map with one emission light source. complete figure on subdiv 2

1650 dress test

just testing how far i can push things on the gtx1650

dress is from marvelous designer and then imported into 3ds max, added some depth to it, and then imported in daz. 

geoshell dforce combo

the gtx1650 has 4 gb of ram. had 3 geoshells and 3 objects with dforce applied to the g8 in this relatively simple scene. but iray would not render it. reduced the scene a bit, and then it rendered fine. gotta be a bit more careful with setting up scenes now

md gtx1650 test

marvelous designer works great on the new 1650 system :D

denoiser test

cant really figure out if the denoiser bug is on my system only or not, but for now, just have to restart daz every time for my final render, and it will render the image out with the denoiser. bit of an annoyance but it will work for now

gtx1650 test render

got everything installed on the new 1650 system now. its a lot slower then my 3070 workstation, but that was expected. this render took about 7 min to finish, so its not to bad

daz 4.21 does have a weird bug where the denoiser only works the first time when rendering, and every after that ...
