So this is a large light plane hitting all characters the same.
Characters picked by their thumbnail appearance.
I expected better results from at least one.
Yes, not that great...The best / most vibrant IMO is the one screen right, if that helps any.
🙂
I may go through them all eventually. Im trying to find the one skin that needs the least work.
imo take sahel on the far left and reduce the translucency weight across the board
to about 25% I think (can't remember).
otherwise 2nd from the right is quite nice just apply either the sahel or victoria 8 fibre mesh eyebrows and maybe some alternate lashes.
the middle has nice lips but the body feels plasticy.Rank:
Adam,
Try this HDR map instead of the light plane.
https://mega.nz/#!lHYhQD5T!KR8iyKiF4ghYr3SWCUKTDtOORx1FNgdr4ci98b2m6GYIn DS Goto Render settings / Environment, and enable Dome and Scene in the top Environment Mode' tab. Then add the HDR map in Environment Map tab
and adjust the Environment intensity to at least 1.50
No lighting needed, and it'll give better results on the skin.OK thanks for all the tips 🙂
Only reason i didnt use a hdr was I wanted the light exactly the same on each of them to be fair. But I will test it out. I usually load a map for most renders now.
btw, There should be a new girl in the upload area soon for you to enjoy.
Rank:This is a bare bones basic 2 minute render with the HDR map and no enhancements.

Then you can mess about with the skin till you're blue in the face 🙂
Rank:With HDR maps you can see how good or shitty the textures really are IMO 🙂
I like the hair also. I just need to find the perfect one to tweek. So far Sahel has been nice.
Rank:Yeah Sahel is good, better than some textures I've seen. Maelwenn is also good at textures. See the Lydia character for G3 as an example.
Rank:Can't say I have any DTG characters. I did a comparison a while back and there are some pretty bad skins out there. I won't name and shame, it's not nice :p
This is with all the info you provided. Stopped at 6%
Rank:Much better don't you think? But still looking flat.
If the render times are too much I suggest you render in preview mode and tweak
the render settings till satisfied.BTW, what are you PC specs?
I'll post some more information in the next few hours to help you along.I'm sure there are exceptions, but IMO in general, unless it's the HD skin for a DAZ released HD character it's not going to be great, people just don't do good skins for characters (or clothes, props, sets, you get the idea, textures produced by PAs on all sites suck in general as they're done to be super generic and 'good enough').
