If you’re new to the render game, it’s comforting to know that there’s a decades worth of content out there, ready and waiting for you.Īn added bonus is that textures made for Michael 4, Victoria 4 and Kids 4 work on the Genesis figure. #DAZ GLOWING INSIDE OBJECT FULL#If like me you have a frickin’ huge Runtime folder full of years worth of existing and much loved figures, clothes, props, hair and more, you’ll find they all work just fine inside DAZ Studio 4, right out the box. The dynamic clothing engine has not yet been updated to the new libraries, but when it is this feature will be rolled out to Standard Edition, for free. #DAZ GLOWING INSIDE OBJECT UPDATE#There’s one notable (and temporary) exception: Dynamic Clothing does not yet work with DAZ Studio 4, but that is expected to be enabled in an update Real Soon. This is worth emphasising: if you currently use DAZ Studio 3, all of the existing content will work with DAZ Studio 4 just fine. I’m still working through the list like a kid in a candy store!Īs all of the clothes can be mixed’n’matched and work with both the male and female morphs, this is a great starting wardrobe for fantasy and modern day renders, and could be pressed into service for superhero renders too with a little creative texturing. UberEnvironment 2 Lights (all renders on this page use UE2 Park light, medium quality). ![]() The DAZ SubDragon LE (yep, a dragon, for free!).K4 Basic Wear (boxers, briefs, shirt, tankini).Magus clothing (boots, collar, jacket, leggings, shorts, earrings, staff).Journeyer Scout clothing (pants, boots, sash, vest, wristguards, armband, katana).Male, Female and Child Wetsuit textures.Male, Female and Child base resolution textures (shown above – they’re not half bad at all).If I can’t make a decent Halfling Rogue from this, shoot me.Īside from the base Genesis figure, DAZ Studio 4 Standard also includes: From what I have seen so far, Genesis is a terrific figure and well deserves to succeed.Ĭhildren too. I hope that this new push for a genuine universal mesh bears fruit this time around. Victoria 4.2 had a Male Morph, but it was sadly underused and under-supported by the vast majority of content developers including DAZ3D themselves. I should mention that this is nothing new. At last the Female figure will get decent armour, and with one single unified Bodysuit on the horizon it will be far easier to create superhero teams where the members all wear matching uniforms. If (like me) you love rendering Fantasy and Superhero themed scenes, that’s a huge win. The other advantage with the Genesis figure is that all clothes made for it will be usable by both Male and Female figures. As this is a gender neutral figure (Male or Female is just a spin of the dials) I expect we’ll see just one Anime Morph pack (rather than the Aiko & Hiro morphs needed for V4 and M4), a single Freak Morph pack which will bulk up both male and female figures, one Creature Morph pack (again, no need for one for male and one for female), and more. I expect additional Morph packs will be coming soon which enhances the figure further. Note that Genesis is a whole new figure, and is NOT compatible with existing V4 or M4 character morphs (textures are compatible though – see below). Joint modelling in particular is much improved Genesis has none of those ugly fake crease lines we saw under Victoria 4’s shoulders. The base Genesis figure that comes with DAZ Studio 4 Standard is effectively Michael 4, Victoria 4, Kids 4 and a sizable chunk of their Morphs++ packs, all rolled into one. Morph dials can turn the figure into a Male, Female, Child, Alien, Bodybuilder and more – or any combination you choose. Genesis is total unimesh figure that can be anything you want it to be. In the beginning, everyone ran around like this The hot news about DAZ Studo 4 is that is comes complete with DAZ3D’s next generation figure. This is the same version of DAZ Studio 4 Standard Edition that will cost money at a later date, and includes all future updates and upgrades, for free. The current (and free) Standard Edition is feature complete – there’s no time limits, silly watermarks or resolution constraints. #DAZ GLOWING INSIDE OBJECT TRIAL#There is talk about some kind of web-based ultra-lite free trial edition, but that seems to be some way away as yet, if it appears at all. #DAZ GLOWING INSIDE OBJECT PRO#There is also expected to be an always free (but cut down in some way) Lite version as well as an Advanced and a Pro Edition for increasing amounts of cash. After that it will cost around $50, and still a bargain. Read on for more details.ĭAZ Studio 4 Standard Edition is free right now, but only for a limited time. DAZ Studio 4 updates the underlying core libraries and render engine and also brings a whole new workflow, interface and generation of figure to the table. DAZ Studio 4 is the latest version of my render application of choice. ![]()
