Hold on to your pants! My first DAZ character in Blender!

So, I tried using the Daz to Blender bridge but, knowing DAZ, I knew I also had to get my hands dirty.

Step 1 - DAZ - Converted Krashwerks Desiree to 8.1 (I tried to keep it simple, so no hair).

Step 2 - Applied PBR materials of Genesis 8.1 (because, it should be better , right?)

Step 3 - Light and render!

Step 4 - Daz to Blender (Bridge)

Step 5 - Lights and render! (to see what happens with the default settings)

BLENDER (CYCLES) - DEFAULT CONVERSION

Step 6 - Turns out the Daz guys made their own shaders and didn't apply neither the Specular nor the SSS map. Looks pretty bad to me!

Step 7 - Made my own (basic) skin shader [using the same textures!], and found the secret component: SSS 0.005 (no map used), and the specularity map needed to be multiplied by x10 (or you didn't see it).

Step 8 - Fix lights, camera, and Final render for my very first (properly fixed) DAZ character in Blender!

BLENDER (CYCLES) - MY CONVERSION

Step 9 - Am I done yet? No! What about using an AI Upscaler (Topaz Gigapixel AI) to double the size of the Bump and Displacement maps? I just want to see what I can get with it.

Step 10 - Texture compressions of the maps (they were large, so I compressed them with Photoshop)

Step 11 - FINAL RENDER!
