DAZ Studio Natural Environments : UltraScenery
February 6, 2022 @ 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm GMT
Free – $37.00Event Poster Artwork by Bee Kay
UltraScenery by published artist HowieFarkes is a powerful tool to build highly detailed natural scenes in DAZ Studio. It has the capability of creating thousands of instances of trees, shrubs, stones etc. providing a rich environment without needing millions of polygons.
It is a popular product at DAZ that allows you to pick plenty of add-on ecosystems that can be found from around the world. There’s also several toolbox products (scripts) created by Code66 to make working with UltraScenery easier and to improve the realism of scenes even further.
Totte (Code66) will be presenting to talk about UltraScenery and his toolkits.
The product is so popular at the DAZ 3D forums, that the mega-thread has topped over 100 pages (now it’s on page 45 of the second thread), so it’s time to investigate the best practices in using this amazing tool!
In this webinar we will also see some artwork created with UltraScenery by our community members.
If you have used UltraScenery, we’d love to involve you by:-
- Seeing your artwork generated with any of the available ecosystems.
- Learning how you built your scenes.
- Hearing your top tips on using Ultrascenery
- Learning about your experience in using the UltraScenery Toolbox scripts
