Compositing with DAZ Studio and Photoshop

When using DAZ Studio do you find that..

1. You spend too long composing and rendering scenes?
2. You rely too much on buying 3D assets that you don’t use?
3. You feel limited with DAZ Studio’s performance?
4. You feel your artwork from DAZ could be enriched by merging with other elements?

Combining the use of DAZ Studio and Photoshop provides wider options for your art, faster composition of your scenes and a more polished look for your completed artwork.

In this introductory session to a new compositing course, Vladimir Chopine is going to show you how to composite with DAZ Studio and Photoshop so that you can:

1. Make any type of element look like it belongs in a scene
2. Create your scenes quicker with strategic compositing
3. Benefit from a wider array of photographic or digital 2D assets
4. Save time with faster workflows
