The easiest way to get the bridge onto your system is via the DAZ Install Manager (DIM).
I’ll also discuss how to bring a whole 3D scene into Photoshop and add a few troubleshooting tips.īut I know that videos aren’t for everybody, so I thought I’d also add some written instructions here for good measure. It’s a little clunky and a little old school, but it can still be a helpful tool to either render a scene from DAZ Studio directly into Photoshop for compositing, or exchange texture maps for easy changes and amendments.
There may be some further clauses and restrictions by 3rd-party merchants selling in their store but next to none of those apply to the creation og pictures for book covers.In this video I’ll show you how to use the Photoshop 3D Bridge in DAZ Studio 4.9. Any additional licenses they offer are for use of the 3D models themselves in games and interactive applications - neither of which book covers fall under.
There was one product (the Anna-Marie Goddard Digital Clone) that was not licensed for commercial use, but this is no longer available.

In daz 3ds defence I can say i havent heard of them taking others to court often if at all though I did read the terms and conditions and its a chance they can.Actually, if you have a closer look at their EULA, none of these issues pertain to the use in context with book covers.

Lastly im not 100% sure if the latest MH build includes it but there is an anime style character option that output a better then average anime girl.Īversion of reality on facebook has some neat tutorials for that if you need help in rendering it nicely in blender. I tend to use mixamo a online 3d rigging site that is laughably easy to use and allows for models to be rigged and altered into a good pose set and once again the terms and conditions are free'er and the quality is better depending on your 3d model choice. The google warehouse is a good spot for 3d models but each will have its own terms and conditions read carefully before you use them.įinally in case you want to rig easy a model that looks awesome in the warehouse.

Needless to say you can still make it and its mostly jargons thats "ignored" but should your efforts become profitable that may well change. The reason why is its clearly stated you can make profit from rendered images in this program without crediting them anything.ĭaz 3d isnt so "generous" in its terms and conditions you will find clauses that pertain to comecial profits that put apple to shame. I would take a moment to mention makehuman here over daz 3d if its basic human renders your looking for.
