Hi Everyone,
Is this where we introduce ourselves or ask basic stuff? If not, then mod/admin feel free to move.
How I got here is kind of long, so apologize about the length.
Had heard about Poser at a workshop in late 90s. Poser 3.0 demo? Thought they looked silly, and I was more a Photoshop / Quark Express person. “3D? What for?” Famous last words!
Anyway, got back into 3D in October of last year by accident. Had been looking at duckduckgo images & ran across one that caught my eye. "Woah! Photoshop filter or airbrush skills from Hades! How’d he do that?" (Photoshop user since version 2.5 or 3.0 I think.)
Turns out it was a 3D render! Off to Autodesk & Maya. Uhm... Must be nice, but out of my tax bracket.
So trial version of Poser11 and found a free one had never heard of-- DS. Clever about DAZ. Free app and easy tutorial with IRay to get you hooked. (Or me at least.)
Their store though is bizarre. For a project, I need a rigged mockingbird prop. How hard can that be? I'm sure most of you know the answer.
Type in Mockingbird and got “Dominican Monestary” or something. “Birds” got me a dinosaur that doesn't even fly. Predictive text had “Songbirds.” More silly results. “Songbird Remix” got me DJ sets. Now you can guess where this is going!
Internet search and looks like this site and the PA's own site are only game in town.
Looks like I need the basic ‘bird remix’ package + ‘Characters’ ? Definitely need wildlife props, so looks like Hivewire is is the place.
Final question since don’t want to be over long. How are “Dawn/Dusk” in Iray and or Superfly? The promo renders look to have some pretty good details on palm of hands & knuckles. I couldn’t find anything on whether all 4 carpal bones, but assume they have them?
Thanks for reading!
