Hello peeps!
I want to use some simple backgrounds that still have slight models on them.. stylized you could say.
I know I can make them myself in photoshop but I can't quite get that continuity when I place them on a plane in Daz and I can't find anything such as that on daz marketplace so my question is: Could someone show me something like that that I could get please? :)

Thank you!

    Your question is a bit vague as to what exactly you have in mind. What kind of backgrounds are you looking for? There are many types. Indoor outdoor real world sci fi fantasy......
    Take a look at the millennium environment. There are several packages to add to or change the scene. You can even make your own props or backgrounds to change it.

    What I want is something simple like say.. what you see models do during photoshoots in studios. They are placed against some simple background or green screen. That's pretty much what I`m looking for

    Sounds like you're looking for something like this, or is this what you want the backgrounds for?

    That's pretty much what I had in mind, Miss B, but only the backgrounds not an entire actual studio set.

    Thanks Szark, that should serve well for a while. What about when I want to find something else, for that type of backgrounds.. what search terms should I use and quite possible, on what sites since daz store doesn't seem to have things like this..

    If you want just some simple backgrounds, then you can also render your character without any background, save as .png file and insert a background image later. Any image editor with layers (e.g. Gimp) and any image file as background will do.

    Thanks from me too Pete, as I didn't know Hellboy had created one.

    As for others like that, Nerd3d used to have one called Backdrops, but I see it's no longer in the store. That said, however, Blondie's Backdrops Made Easy is something I use a lot. She has lots of add-ons for it for both indoors and outdoors type walls and floors. I've even created my own wallpaper that I've used with this set  --> http://www.daz3d.com/backdrops-made-easy

    Yes, I've done that too, and it works well for renders where you don't necessarily have to see the characters feet, so you don't need a floor texture as well.

    I often use Jack Tomalin's building products for backgrounds as there are modular and therefore I can just use one wall if needed. I use what I can to serve as a backdrop but it all depends what type of image I am doing. Sometimes all a scene needs is a sky, which can be done in a few ways. 1; use the Add Backdrop feature in Daz Studio or 2; use a sky dome/sphere.

    Another option (don't you love having choices?) is the Multiplane Cyclorama. It's usually used for outdoor scenes, but Cyclorama: Portrait Paper Backdrops turns it into a photo-studio backdrop.

    (Note that these two products cost $24.90 at regular price, but are both Platinum Club items. Buy a three-month club membership for $24 and get the Cyclorama and the Portrait Paper backdrops for $3.98, plus at least fifteen other models for free.)

    Rocks 'N Drops is one of my favorites- has a simple plane, but also has a curved plane so you can get the floor.

    There's more than one, just do a search.
