OMG - I am so glad I'm not the only one who does that sort of thing! I am constantly pontificating at my poor husband - who doesn't give a rip about art or writing stories - when we are watching TV miniseries, about how "narratively speaking, they are setting up blah blah blah for this character" or "that's not really a satisfying arc for that character" ...
I love this thread! Thank you to the OP for asking the question, so I can find out answers without sounding terribly nosy myself.
And thanks everyone else for sharing!
It's great when people talk about their projects and we get to see all the different and creative ways people use DAZ stuff. The Art Studio threads are also great for this, and I love looking through those, as well as popping into links that people share to their sites and galleries and projects in their signature.
I downloaded DAZ and bought my earliest products to create references for my paintings. But after getting a few things, the sales and sheer volume of amazing assets got hold of me. I could quickly see the possibilities of creating a wide range of visual stories and (music) videos, that would never have been practical if I relied on drawing and painting, in traditional or digital media.
At this point, I make short visual stories and music videos with DAZ renders. I also use DAZ for creating some children's books, which I previously did with traditional media. And DAZ doodling for no other reason than to relax and feel inspired is a great thing too!
One of the best things about DAZ is that I can tackle so many genres and styles. It's so versatile, especially with the help of a little postwork. I'm hoping to slowly incorporate a little bit of animation into my toolset as well.
I Take Aim and Fire
Night and Day
Storyboards and graphic novels.
I am an illustrator (among other things) and I started with Poser (no number at that point) in order to try and get reference so i could stop hoping up and down in the mirror and drawing with my left hand as I tried to get a pose. Yes, that was a ridiculous thing I had to do. later I started making things for references and I realized I might be able to sell them. So I became a an artist here at Daz, along with my illustration stuff (and day job). So, I use it for reference and to make money.
The main thing that was challenging was making sure that all the poses I wanted to submit were saved properly (because I wasn't sure if I had done it right and didn't know where to look for advice) and to test them out as best I could to be sure they worked as expected. Then it was a matter of making it sure that the promotional images were as good as they could be. Daz looks at the images first, or at least that's what they did at that time. I would encourage you to give it a try! This page is where you'd want to start to learn how to get started: Become a Published Artist
P.S. Thanks! It's all fun to make, so thank you for buying and I'm glad you like it! :)
Kudos to you. Ever read I do not like green eggs & ham? That's how I feel about storyboards. But my ending differs. I tried (because I feel they are a very important part of story structure) but for me it's a huge fail, cripples the flow, even for sci-fi and fantasy. Some people get writers block. I don't. But storyboards are like kryptomite to me.When I read that Christopher Nolan doesn't use them either, I felt leass inadequate and happily gave up trying. Great admiration for storyboarders. Should do, cant do. So . . . when, and where, can I buy one of your graphic novels?
Last few years I've been working with my personal animation learning project. I'm doing still renders from time to time, but I'm mostly focusing on learning animation.
"What do you use DAZ for?"
Don't know, maybe scratching an itch?
Sometimes I feel like a crazy digital Frankenstein, trying to blow life into my creation. Still waiting for lightning to hit.
And then what?
Maybe creating that big story arc, that keeps circleing in my head for years now?
Estimated production time 30 years, estimated life span left, 25 years.... yay
live for the moment and keep rendering
Hi, all!!
I use Daz Carrar 8 to create models and animete them for images, video and videogames.
Here some samples:
I stated writing 60 years ago after running out of books to read in both the children's and adult sections of my local library. I write almost exclusively for my own enjoyment, so stories tend to evolve rather than be planned.
I had been interested in both Poser and iClone as toys, but got seriously into Daz during the lockdowns as relief from working very hard at home. I collected a ton of content from here and other sites and planned to use it to illustrate scenes from my stories.
It has ended up as cross-polination. Sometimes I'll use a series of scenes to expand on an idea. Sometimes content triggers story ideas: "Lil Patch Girl" became MISSI, the Mobile Intelligent Security Systems Interface guarding a hidden alien base, which there are plenty of scenes to render. It is below the "Dream Home", which I'd already decided was a good base for the hero. A secluded cove accelerated a love-affair and also helped to define the topology of the region, which in turn led to a cliff hangar being turned into a base for submarines, which became a more important part of the story. An Ancient Aliens style Egyptian connection, has also influenced some of the sights the hero will find on his travels as well as some of the outfits.
In general, I don't consider my work sufficiently finished to show it to others, because I still can't be bothered to get properly to grips with Lights and Cameras. For now the ideas are enough and I can refine them later if I want to. I did submit some more erotic stuff elsewhere, but mostly the only thing anyone else sees is the Birthday & Christmas cards I started sending online to relatives when the UK postal system became too erratic to use.
I'm in it for the lulz. That wasn't the plan but that's how it is. *shrug*
