Content Creation for DAZ Studio

Content Creation for DAZ Studio

Introductory Session

“How can I learn a solid workflow for creating clothing content for DAZ Studio?”

DAZ Studio continues to evolve and the latest Genesis 9 figure has a new set of advantages, but as a result content creators need an update on how to produce clothing for G9 figures.

We’ve also recognised that many artists want to learn how to modify clothing, getting complete control over the final look and feel of their character scenes.

Of course rigging is a tricky aspect of content creation and we’ve often had feedback from artists about their frustration with the hurdles that can be experienced with that process.

Gaining a holistic road map on rigging can be hard to obtain, because the many actions involved can be scattered across dozens of tutorials. There’s a number of subtle steps that aren’t always included.

With these challenges in mind, we’ve put together a new course for DAZ Studio content creators, both with the beginner in mind as well as more advanced artists.

Esha who is a top published artist at the DAZ 3D store will start coaching a group of artists beginning with this introductory session on Sunday the 12th of February.

In our live courses, we always work as a group, giving you connection to other artists who have similar goals and values to you…to have a place to turn for camaraderie, feedback, support, and recognition for your progress.

Presenter : Esha

Esha lives in Austria and has been creating 3D products for nearly 14 years!

In the past she has created content for Smith Micro and now for DAZ 3D, being a lead active vendor at daz3d.com.

When DAZ released the Developer Tools for DAZ Studio in 2008 she integrated them into her workflow and has been working with Daz Studio, alongside Poser, ever since. In recent years she has been focusing on DS for product development.

Esha’s favourite tools include DAZ Studio, Poser, ZBrush, Wings3D, Xfrog, Marvelous Designer, UVLayout and Photoshop. In all of these she is a self-taught artist, basing her skills on years of experience and numerous online tutorials.

Esha also has several years of experience in teaching adults. She firmly believes that the best way to learn is to actively do something yourself, so she favours a hands-on approach in teaching.

Knowing only too well how tiresome it is to gather scraps of information all over the web she wants to provide comprehensive content that really offers solid information. Moving from the basics to advanced procedures she takes care to make sure that her audience will be able to follow her courses smoothly.

In her spare time Esha loves listening to classical music, baking muffins and collecting cat photos.
