certainly comes with security guards, trapdoors, etc. and the water is probably also inhabited by flesh-eating things
I absolutely agree with John about the importance of good lighting (which I haven't mastered yet) in creating 3D renderings.My two cents: 3D softwares simplify many aspects of picture making, other aspects are complicated regardless of the media used.
A crucial suggestion that I have recived many years ago when I started with 3D (with zero previous experience) is: pay a lot of attention to the shadows, they play an essential role in conveying the "message" and they can make (or break) an image. That means: learn a lot of things about photography, about the various types of 3D shadows, according to the rendering engine you use, and experiment a lot.
A Google search about "3 point lighting" will certainly help.
Also, have a look at this tutorial:
BTW, basic tutorials by DAZ are brief, well done and helpful.
Good luck with your art!
Hi, i am looking for Crosses and trunks for Daz Studio.
Madiosi, I have reposted those previous three posts and corrected the problem I believe. Could you delete those previous three posts?Don't work too.

Well if, like me, you're using Daz3D, then almost any half-decent PC will do the job, but remember that rendering is very resource-intensive, so render times will be long on lower spec hardware. My rendering system is fairly low-spec by current standards - AMD A6-7400K cpu / 8Gb RAM / nVidia GeForce GTX550Ti graphics card (1Gb) and it produces great results but is pretty slow - render times are typically in the 2-4 hour range but some have taken much longer than that, especially if I'm going for a high resolution image suitable for printing out or something like that - the renders that I post in here are generally in the 1280x800 sort of region, which my rig will generally push out in a couple of hours. Much depends on the complexity of the scene (and especially how many figures are in it)Hi, question for the artists, what's the recent PC specifications for rendering? I've seen older post and it's year 2017, probably after 4 years there's minor or even major upgrade of the specs especially the graphic card.
Impressive spec! If I was doing this stuff commercially then it would be worth the investment, but there's no realistic way I can justify that sort of hardware just for occasional casual use.My current setup:
I9-9900KF CPU
Nvidia RTX 2060 super graphics card with 8GB
32GB RAM
using a 3 monitor setup for Daz Studio
singly figure scene can render in about 15-30 seconds.
simple scenes (3-5 figures)render in about one minute.
larger more complicated scene take longer.
Scenes with 17 people crucified took about 15-20 minutes.
The preview Nvidia Iray option in the viewport is quite workable now with this setup
pretty handy for adjusting correcting lights/shadows
Dont forget test renders will take up time too.
Mistakes will occur. lighting/shadows might be of just a bit as intended.
expensive but totally worth it to me a year ago.

The nearest equivalent to the RTX 2060 Super is the Radeon RX 5700XT which, in some tests seems to do slightly better;I wonder, if you may suggest an AMD-based video card to yield similar performance in these applications?
