So, when I make something, I will be documenting the creation process from start to finish. TL DR version: I’m busy, and won’t be making many updates for awhile.Īs an aside, I’m expanding the scope of the blog to follow all of my content creation, not just my attempts at making CR2’s with movable parts. And finally, my grandmother is in the hospital and (according to her, pessimist that she is) may not last until christmas. Second, work has picked up (leaving me rather frustrated with certain individuals and their “plans” for my network…). Late night classes until about 11pm four days a week. You have to be registered to see it (it’s free!).įirst, I have started back up with my college classes, leaving me very little time to do anything (even see my family). Here’s an image created using the addon and rendered with Cycles posted over on BlenderArtists by PhoenixSmith. I’m looking forward to using the Archimesh addon, and plan to follow it with interest. Heck, if this turns out to be a quick way to create quality environments, I may be able to produce objects for the marketplace! Of course, anything I produce here will still be released gratis. However, if the scaling is controlled properly (see this post), then a CR2 can be built, properly UV mapped, and imported into Daz as an environment for V4 (etc) to “live” in. From my understanding, it does not UV Map the object, so this is only one step in setting up a building. When I saw this, I immediately thought of the potential uses within Daz/Poser. It’s even possible to find freebie textures (and there are a plethora of paid textures/morphs).įree environments such as buildings are a bit rarer.
Creating content for daz studio free#
It’s easy to find free clothes for V4/Genesis/M4. So, why is this useful enough for me to mention it here? Simple. Also, this tool doesn’t make windows, as the author feels that the Window Generator addon is perfectly acceptable. No word on if internal walls will be easy to add or if those need to be added by running the addon again. There is also a floor, roof, and baseboard option. It’s called ArchiMesh, and you can check it out HERE (the video explains more than I can here).įrom the looks of things, you can now take a floorplan (with wall measurements) and put the wall lengths into Blender, having it recreate the outside walls for the building. Looks like a new Blender plugin is being developed! I’m mentioning this here, since it would be very useful when building items for Daz/Poser. I’m hoping to get some of this done this upcoming weekend, and will hopefully be able to post the next experiment by Sunday night.
Creating content for daz studio how to#
Mainly, this will be to disassemble the CR2 into its primary sections, learn how to properly reference image/texture files (non-absolute path references are IMPORTANT), and then see what each line seems to do. Once the object is done, we are going to focus on the CR2 file. I also want to try and integrate built in constraints. The intent is to create a stack of three boxes, import them into DS and rig them to each rotate independent of the others. So, again keeping with the KISS philosophy, the figure is going to be a stack of boxes.
So, the next project is to create a simple object with moving parts. But props don’t necessarily have moving parts.
Creating props is pretty easy, especially if you just import your object to DS, then clear the scene of EVERYTHING else, and run the OBJ to PP2 script. Since this blog is all about my attempts to create content for Daz Studio using nothing but open source, I’m mainly focusing on how to create actual figures. Once I track down the last set of files, and get Blender updated to the latest release (now 2.73), we’ll be working on another small project.
When last we left off, we had finished making a small rectangular box that we hinged in Daz Studio. Which means I can get back into doing this blog. As of late December, I have officially completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Systems Security from CTU.
