Thanks, I learned a few things here again, nice job. One thing I found is that if you change the start iteration on the denoiser, it also helps retain more of the detail. I try to set it not to go off until right before the image is done, like if I have it set to run for 500 iterations, then I might set the denoiser to start about 450 or so.
Thanks for sharing your tip. When I was doing the testing for this tutorial I did put the start iteration between 500-800 and the denoiser never kicked in since the test renders were done before it got to that point. So I didn't mention that in the video.
Thanks for your kind comment. The pixel filter radius and increasing iterations has sharpened my renders dramatically making the second edition of Tiger Dragon: The Rebirth and Book 2 look so much better.
Thanks for the kind comment. I have been active in the community posts while I have been working on my graphic novel. My intention was to comeback and share any new learnings to help you master Daz Studio so that you can create whatever your heart desires.
@@ParmyBaddhan Hey Parmy, how come some G8F hair will fit some figures and yet it looks stupid on others? Is there a way to make it fit all G8 figures?
Thanks for your kind comment. I have been very active with the community posts on this channel while I have been away working on my graphic novel. My intention was to comeback and share any new learnings to help you master Daz Studio so that you can create whatever your heart desires.
Sir Parmy Baddhan.Your videos is pure gold.You help me so much to learn and understand how things working on daz.My english is not so good but everything you say you make it totally clear to understand this.Keep it up.
As beginners we all struggle with blurry renders. My first render was blurry and I wondered why it didn't look like the promo images in the Daz3D shop. It soon turns out that there is more to Daz Studio than just hitting the blue render button. The pixel filter radius along with the other render settings will improve your renders allowing you to create renders you will be proud of.
@@ParmyBaddhan I didn't like the fact that they are really long... When i look for something I like it when the tutorial is like 10mins long, but still your content really helps if you cant fit everything in the 10 minutes just don't do it! Its me who is too lazy to watch 20 min tutorial :D
The difference between Gaussian and Mitchell filters is more noticeable when rendering full-body wide shots. It doesn't make much difference with these close-up portraits. Mitchell gives you sharper picture quality than Gaussian.
Hey Parmy, what is your computer spec? I am working on realtime facial streaming from iphone to daz viewport and thought maybe I could have you beta test it... you seem to be a daz guru. :)
Thanks for your question. My PC specs are below: i7-8700k CPU 64Gb ram 2x Asus Cerberus 8GB nvidia geforce GTX 1070ti graphics cards (not in sli-mode because Daz Studio does not support sli-mode) 1TB Samsung SSD 860 Evo - Daz Studio is installed on this drive.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I see the difference now since I changed the pixel radius filter with my renders especially for my graphic novel. They are crisp and clear. Highly recommend everyone to discover what works best for their renders.
I have learned a lot from all your tutorials so far, it has been a blast! i was wondering though, could you possible in the future make a tutorial on indoor environments? as in making an apartment, flat or living room for example. is this what most 3d visual novel makers use or do they go to blender/cinema4d?
Thanks for you kind comment and your question. Do you mean using kitbashing to create our own unique indoor environments? Most 3D visual novel creators used Daz Studio to create their visual novels. The only reason to use blender or cinema4D would be for the better animation tools in these programs.
Hi Parmy, I'm currently struggling with two little details regarding accesories. I found an interesting freebie bracelet in obj format on the web and I wonder how I can turn it into a daz functional wearable product that I can load and fits automatically on the figure's wrist. The second one is how i may change the place where an actual accesory fits on the figures. I mean, some product has some ring accesory that fits on the ring finger when you load it, how to change the finger the ring is placed to the index finger, for example. Or the middle finger of the other hand, an so on... If you know how to do that and it suits to make a turorial about that would be very handy. Thanks anyway and keep going with that great work.
Parmy, my Man! Long time no see. Gotta point out ('cuz thas what I do) that when you compare versions of the same pic as you have done (especially when the differences are so subtle) you can see them easier if they're overlayed, not side by side. Put them all in one PS document on their own layers/ groups & show/ hide the variations to better see the effect of yr changes. I also gotta complain ('cuz I do that, too) that ya missed probably the most important piece of info about this topic: what effect do the different filters/ radii/ denoiser have on render time? You have a pretty sweet system & this may not be a big issue for you, but I for one am currently on a "less than ideal" system (as I'm sure many others are) & must weigh my options & consider quality vs. time. Even a few seconds difference for you could translate to minutes or hours for others w/ weaker rigs. Other than that, good job as always. Well... almost always. There was that one vid that we can leave unmentioned ;)
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I realise in hindsight that I should have factored rendering time as well. I understand that not everyone has a super duper graphics card and I will admit I overlook this in my videos. I will endeavour to do better.
@@ParmyBaddhan Thanks, I recently started using post denoiser and I sharpens the image way faster than when it was off. I did two close up renders, one with 4000 max sample and post denoiser off, and another one with post denoiser on. The results were the same but the first one took an hour to complete, and the second was already looking very clear and sharp as the first one within 5mins of the 1hr render time it had. It's a big time saver for me, and I can keep on creating like 10 renders within 30 without having to wait longer, with post denoiser on, once the render reaches 5mins it's already looking very good😊. Thanks for your tutorials.
Hello Parmy ...... I have one question, when I render a genesis 8 especially female, wearing a dforce dress (long dresses), when I click view with Nvidia, it seems perfect, but when I rendered it, theres a lot of poking, mostly on shoulders and parts of the body ..... what causes this problem and how to overcome this? Thanks in advance
very nice tutorial! Do you have any advice for rendering hair clear, crisp in daz? when i render the character everything look fine but the hair is so blur, messy especially when it touches the chin area / it looks so rough with lots of noise and weird spots.. wat will be the setting for better hair looking?
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Can you please tell me name of the hair asset you are having issues with as I may have it in my Daz3D library and be able to further assist you?
@@ParmyBaddhan its 2021-08 Hair for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Females but, when i see their rendered image, its clean, and crisp. so I thinks its my render setting problem. i wish to show you my image but sadly cannot. my issue is that the end of the hair strands look very messy smudgy. especially when it touches the face area. so i would like to ask your advice. is there any tip for hair render setting to look nice and clean?
@@미니미-h8k I have that hair in my Daz Library and I tested the hair with the default iray Daz Studio render settings and it rendered as I expected. The Outoftouch vendor of this hair creates high quality hair so I am unsure why you are having this issue. When it comes to clean and crisp renders, the pixel filter radius, render image size, render quality, max samples and lighting all play their part. When you say "messy smudgy", it sounds like the post denoiser is kicking in too early, change the post denoiser iterations to 800 so the crispness of the render is retained. If this advice does not help then you can email me your render to mydart.co@gmail.com for a more comprehensive solution.
Thanks for sharing experience, very useful. But I have another problem. I set up a lot of cameras in the scene, but I need to manually render the images taken by each camera, but sometimes I forget, or I don’t have time to open the next camera in time to start rendering, so Will waste a lot of time. Is there a function to specify several cameras to start rendering one by one and save it automatically?
@@ParmyBaddhan Thank you, I have tried to use it, but every time a camera is rendered, it will automatically close the scene, and then reload the scene again. This process is very slow and it will report an error. I need to manually confirm it. Almost still manual. Is there any way to prevent it from reloading the scene, but from the first camera until the last camera is rendered, then close the scene, and then load the new scene?
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I also came to the conclusion that a pixel filter radius of 0.5 and 1 is the optimal range. As for the pixel filter I couldn't tell the difference with my monitor so I just went with Gaussian.
Great tutorial! My expertise hasn't matured enough to this point yet haha! But, I did notice an ever-so-subtle change in the whiteness of the glossiness every drop in filter strength - especially in the forhead. Not sure this helps because with it being so subtle I'm not sure it has a measurable artistic value.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I definitely recommend changing the pixel filter value for increased sharpness. My renders for my graphic novel look amazing now.
hey can you tell me if i can use daz charecters in UE4 animation , like cloth sim, and stuff without any problems and hiccups or maybe use another software to animate then bringing the whole thing to UE for finalization
You can use the Daz to unreal bridge (this is a free download, search for it in the Daz3D shop) to transfer from Daz Studio into unreal. I don't believe the transfer is 100% accurate with all assets so you may have to do some work in unreal. As for animation I believe cinema4d is probably the best for animation.
So if I understood correctly with the post-denoiser on, the higher the filter radius the less aggressive it is and less details get lost. So a radius of 2 removes even less details. Correct? If so what is the biggest possible radius that can be used to effectively remove a small amount of salt/white noise with the denoiser?
Hey man, your videos such helpful for all of daz3d users and do you mind to make a video about how to install manually a morph bundle? Thanks in advance
My personal opinion is that the filament render engine is uncomplete. There are so many options that don't work, where as the iray render engine was fully functional when it was released. I may look into this later as I am busy completing my awesome graphic novel Tiger Dragon: The Rebirth. If you wish to learn about the filament render engine then Solomon has already covered the filament engine, ruclips.net/video/zk7c-RiiOm8/видео.html
Thanks for your comment and your concern. I am currently completing my first Graphic Novel Tiger Dragon: The Rebirth Edition 2, which is why I haven't posted any new videos. The first edition of TDTR is on webtoons, but not in the webtoons format, if you wanna read it. www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/tiger-dragon-the-rebirth/list?title_no=396148 Edition 2 is far superior to Edition 1 and will be on Indiegogo soon with some awesome perks. When this is all done I will be back to creating RUclips videos to share all my learnings and help you to achieve mastery of your craft.
Even with RUclips's horrible "conversion" there is clearly a big difference between Gaussian Mitchell and Lanczos That aside, Denoisiers are a thing that one needs to be very careful about. the "Fireflies" are becoming a thing of the past anyway as internal "denoisiers" are being applied in most of the latest iterations of rendering software. But people tend to overuse denoise. And in so doing end up with an overly "smooth" image. In my opinion Denoise very sparingly, and use other things like DOF and post-work if need be.
Thanks for your question. There is no one female or male character that is better than others. Focus on the following when looking for characters to use:- Use HD characters where possible Look at skin quality, does the skin tone have different tones? Are the eyes that come with the character of good quality? e.g. realistic Does this character fit what you are trying to create? e.g. portrait render I combine the morphs of different female characters to create my custom female characters for my graphic novel Tiger Dragon: The Rebirth. I use the skins and eyes from different female characters and change the skin tone using the iray shader for my female characters.
@@ParmyBaddhan I combine morphs as well. However there are characters that have skin textures that are superior to other characters. For instance one of my favorites is the vender bluejaunte. They seem to be better under a variety of light conditions. I got from the video that you picked the characters you used because they had the best textures of what you owned. If there are no "best" then it wouldnt matter what you picked for a demo. Ive seen some Ad renders that were great only to find out the character sucked. Ive also seen some Ad renders that I though were just ok to find out the character was great. Sure it may be me or the lighting but, IMO some characters take way less work to make them look good.
@@depqua7905 I miss-read your question and gave you an answer you were not expecting. I'm sorry for giving you that reply. The female figure in the tutorial is www.daz3d.com/leony-hd-for-victoria-8. Again, I am sorry for the initial reply.
I generally use Mitchell with around 1.1, although it depends on what you're rendering. A good post which explains the various settings in easy to understand terms: www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/1769416/#Comment_1769416
I asked a question last time and the mystery was solved. I would like to ask you again this time I don't know about lights. If you know, please let me teach When using a light from a commercially available light set, if you add another light The light I set earlier replaces the next light. I looked it up online and couldn't figure it out I'm sorry I'm not good at English. If you know it, please let me teach.
If you feel this video was of no value to you then I can only apologise and do better next time. The default settings that come with Daz Studio are not the ideal settings. For example when you buy a new car, the car comes with the default factory settings. The driver seat might be too close or too far back. The mirrors need to be adjusted so you can see around your car. You as the driver of the car have to customise the default settings to your individual preferences. This is exactly the same process with Daz Studio. If you want high quality artwork that stands out and gets noticed then these settings inside Daz Studio are another tool you can use enhance your renders for free.
@@ParmyBaddhan hey thanks for reply and sorry that my intial comment was rude but thats because most daz gurus on youtube are trash and hardly give much info and videos are insanely long with very little real info i have recently picked up daz3d for easier still shots and i wish i could show you some of my renders they are 1000 times better than some of the daz3d gurus i have seen on youtube ... and i saw your other videos you do have useful info in some videos aswell but videos are bit too long mate but thats just my opinion dont listen to me

What female did you use?
Thanks for your question. There is no one female or male character that is better than others. Focus on the following when looking for characters to use:-
Use HD characters where possible
Look at skin quality, does the skin tone have different tones?
Are the eyes that come with the character of good quality? e.g. realistic
Does this character fit what you are trying to create? e.g. portrait render
I combine the morphs of different female characters to create my custom female characters for my graphic novel Tiger Dragon: The Rebirth. I use the skins and eyes from different female characters and change the skin tone using the iray shader for my female characters.
@@ParmyBaddhan I combine morphs as well. However there are characters that have skin textures that are superior to other characters. For instance one of my favorites is the vender bluejaunte. They seem to be better under a variety of light conditions. I got from the video that you picked the characters you used because they had the best textures of what you owned. If there are no "best" then it wouldnt matter what you picked for a demo. Ive seen some Ad renders that were great only to find out the character sucked. Ive also seen some Ad renders that I though were just ok to find out the character was great. Sure it may be me or the lighting but, IMO some characters take way less work to make them look good.
@@depqua7905 I miss-read your question and gave you an answer you were not expecting. I'm sorry for giving you that reply.
The female figure in the tutorial is www.daz3d.com/leony-hd-for-victoria-8.
Again, I am sorry for the initial reply.
@@ParmyBaddhan No problems. Thanks for following up.
My understanding is for IRAY do Gaussian.
I read somewhere in the Daz3D forums that mitchell filter is the best regarding keeping the details such as skin, hair and clothing in your renders.
I generally use Mitchell with around 1.1, although it depends on what you're rendering. A good post which explains the various settings in easy to understand terms: www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/1769416/#Comment_1769416
Thanks for sharing the Daz3D post. The Daz3D forums have a wealth of knowledge and sometimes the knowledge gets lost in the forums.
I asked a question last time and the mystery was solved. I would like to ask you again this time
I don't know about lights.
If you know, please let me teach
When using a light from a commercially available light set, if you add another light
The light I set earlier replaces the next light.
I looked it up online and couldn't figure it out
I'm sorry I'm not good at English. If you know it, please let me teach.
so basically 22 mins wasted with no info just use the default setting ?
If you feel this video was of no value to you then I can only apologise and do better next time.
The default settings that come with Daz Studio are not the ideal settings. For example when you buy a new car, the car comes with the default factory settings. The driver seat might be too close or too far back. The mirrors need to be adjusted so you can see around your car. You as the driver of the car have to customise the default settings to your individual preferences. This is exactly the same process with Daz Studio.
If you want high quality artwork that stands out and gets noticed then these settings inside Daz Studio are another tool you can use enhance your renders for free.
@@ParmyBaddhan hey thanks for reply and sorry that my intial comment was rude but thats because most daz gurus on youtube are trash and hardly give much info and videos are insanely long with very little real info i have recently picked up daz3d for easier still shots and i wish i could show you some of my renders they are 1000 times better than some of the daz3d gurus i have seen on youtube ... and i saw your other videos you do have useful info in some videos aswell but videos are bit too long mate but thats just my opinion dont listen to me
@@imtiazhussain6684 Thanks for your comment. I do get some comments saying that my videos are too long. However I put as much information as possible in the videos so you can make an informed decision. I understand that people want answers to their questions, but answers alone are no good without context. Also I do not see myself as a Daz Studio guru as I don't know everything about Daz Studio. This channel is about the commitment to Mastery for your craft. This means failing and learning from your failures all in the pursuit of Mastery so that you can reach your goal.
Look close at the forehead
Thanks for the tip. I think I need a better monitor, this monitor doesn't cut it when it comes to the finer details.
