DAZ STUDIO IRAY LIGHTING TUTORIAL HOW TO

It allows to add thickness, smooth and simplify it enough to print. After posing the character, I simulated tunic and hair (it's the reason I couldn't thicken them before).Once your character is ready to be printed, export it to OBJ with default parameters., Improving the geometry for printingNow I have to add thickness for parts that weren't possible in previous step.For the tunic, I'm using Solidify (Mode Simple, Thickness 2 mm, Offset 0.5), Subdivision, Remesh (Voxel, Voxel Size 0.3 mm), Subdivition (again) and Decimate (Ratio 0.1) modifiers. I had to create some of them in Blender (not covered in this tutorial).Marina's tunic was created in Marvelous Designer, belt, armbands and boots in Blender. I'm using the same products/items as for renders, however I enabled morphs to enlarge thinnest parts like eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, etc. And it's logical because since hair has volume the hat should be higher :D,15 - You can hide the hat and check hair deformation.,A little render with default lights (HDRI + headlamp),#dforce #dazstudio #tutorial #hair #hatД¬reating and posing the miniThe first step is to model or sculpt the character. As you can notice, it isn't perfect because the animation was too fast (it's easy to change that in simulation settings).,14 - Simple et quick fix is to slightly move up the hat until hair is not visible anymore. For example, collisions between the Broom and the Dress.,13 - And collisions between hair and hat. Click on Simulate :D,11 - Wait until the simulation stops or click on Cancel in the case an 'explosion' arises (you'll have to fix intersection between items),12 - Now you can check everything is good. I usually use it for clothing but not while simulating only hair. If you have an outfit that has a better resolution than the body or if you have poking out problems, it's better to use Viewport for Collision Mesh Resolution. Put Animated (Custom) for Frames to Simulate and change range from 0 to 10. We could have enabled Start Bones From Memorized Pose, but it's not really useful there because the pose is simple enough. It's very useful to animate character because you just need to pose key animations.,4 - Now return back to Frame 0 and select the hat or helmet that must interact with your hair,5 - Move up the hat until there is no intersection with hair anymore (let a little more space for hair simulation).,6 - Select frame 10 and put the original position for the hat,7 - The broom will collide with the dress so we need to move it too on Y axis.,8 - Remember the original Y position and decrease it.,9 - Go to frame 10 and put back the original Y position.,10 - Finally, we're ready to launch the simulation.

DAZ Studio will create all intermediate values.

Don't forget to set a linear interpolation by clicking on the little icon at the right of the timeline where TCB is written, and choose linear. It'll be easier to move the character along an axis, in my case Z one so I put -20 to Z position at frame 0 and 0 (the default position) at frame 10. An offset of 20 cm (DAZ units are cm) is enough to simulate walking (for running, I use a 100 cm offset). If we decide to use 10 frames, the real position must be set at frame 10 and we must apply an offset at frame 0. I disable textures in viewport because it uses VRAM.1 - Be sure all your items are loaded (character, hair, clothing, etc.).,2 - Display Timeline using Window -> Panes (tabs) -> Timeline,3 - To simulate walk movement, we need to stop the simulation at the final position.

DAZ STUDIO IRAY LIGHTING TUTORIAL HOW TO

This is a very simple and easy tutorial for DAZ Studio that explains how to fix or improve dForce clothings or hair with Timeline.We'll be able to fix collisions between hair and character, clothing and character as well as items and clothing, and also simulate a walk movement physics on hair and clothing.I made full screen screenshots so you can click on them to see them better.
