“The new head of the Praetorian Guard exiting the temple after a sacrifice to the god Mars Ultor seeking blessing for a long and honorable term of service.” I used many 3D model sets to compose and render this scene in DAZ Studio 4.5 Pro. Among these are the following: Temple of Mars The Monastery (to create the side porticos surrounding the temple) The Guildhall (the stone ground) The Temple of Mars is actually smaller than what you see in the scene. I had to scale it up to 300% and the porticos up to 200% and the Guildhall ground up to 500%. Real Metals for DAZ Studio was used on the...
“A female Kergan poses with a marine she took prisoner.” I acquired Xurge 3D’s Enforcer 01 Armor for both Victoria V4 and Michael V4 and was setting up the materials for DAZ Studio and LuxRender (Xurge 3D does not provide support for DAZ Studio, just Poser) and I was surprised as to how well the results were that I decided to add some terrain and render a scene. The HFS Races: Kergan alien is a Genesis base morph. Dario Fish’s newest alien to his Races series. Update 4/21/2013: I re-rendered this scene at a new location, at a futuristic bridge.

INTRODUCTORY PRICING UNTIL MAY 5TH!! The next level of rendering for Poser is here. Reality for Poser is your connection from Poser to LuxRender, the physically-based, unbiased, Open Source renderer that is taking the 3D world by storm. LuxRender gives you astounding levels of realism by rendering light and materials with absolute physical fidelity. Reality converts your Poser materials, lights and cameras so that you can render your Poser scene with LuxRender. Here are some of the many features of Reality 3 for Poser at a glance: - Gain access to the extraordinary power of LuxRender with an...
“Shuttlestar operations somewhere on the planet D’POL.” The Shuttlestars are landing and taking off from a Suprastation high a top a mountain overlooking a vast valley. Another render done with LuxRender with the help of the Reality for DAZ Studio plug-in. I used Skies of Reality Volume Two to light this scene, I used one of the sunset presets that came with the light set. This render took two days. Why did it take two days and the help of a notebook computer acting as a slave node? Because of so many objects and light sources in the scene and I rendered it at 1920×1080 so that I...
This is a non-nude version of my Hanging Fruits Portrait. Both were rendered in LuxRender with the help of the Reality for DAZ Studio plug-in. I just wanted to show off the real strengths of LuxRender with this photo-realistic portrait, or as close to photo-realistic as I could get it. As I mentioned in a previous post, if you can’t afford Reality there is a new plug-in for DAZ Studio that is cheaper and will allow you to render your DAZ Studio scenes in LuxRender. The plug-in is called Luxus and if you need some help understanding it there are, also, the Luxus Pro Training videos....
“Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret will come to thee. Act according to their advice; for they are appointed to guide thee and counsel thee in all that thou hast to do, and thou mayest believe what they shall say unto thee.” Another art piece rendered in LuxRender with the help of DAZ Studio‘s Reality plug-in. I used the Skies of Reality Volume Two lighting product. These sets of lights now include native versions for DAZ Studio and Carrara. This product is great for outdoor scenes but there is one mayor drawback, you need to rework your shinning surfaces a lot to lower the...
Checkout an awesome model in the making. It is the U.S.C.S.S. Prometheus. The modeler, who goes by the handle rustythe1, is a freelance 3D and digital artist who runs Digitawn. He is doing an awesome job on the model. Not only that, but he has also found flaws in the original design of the Prometheus. It will be a hard act to follow by another third party modeler attempting the same. You can follow the conversation and the WIP (work in progress) of this U.S.C.S.S. Prometheus at Movie & TV Related – USCSS Prometheus. Share This Post: Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend...
“Miss XFiles for V4 by Wishmaster – Gillian Anderson as agent Dana Scully.” Miss XFiles for V4 is a look-alike 3D Poser model of Gillian Anderson as agent Dana Scully of the XFiles TV/Movie series. It is based on the Victoria V4 base, but can be converted to Genesis with the use of Genesis Generation X, a DAZ Studio plug-in. The model is offered exclusively to Erotic Art Zone members. Registration is free. Please note that Erotic Art Zone is an adult site offering erotica 3D art. To register for free go here. Once you register you may download the model from this forum...
A portrait of an Onna Bugeisha ready to defend Matsumoto Castle. Render with DAZ Studio 4.5. For lighting I used the UberEnvironment 2 with one distant light as Sun. The Samurai armor is Japanese_Woman_Warrior by sugatak. The armor is for Poser and some of the armor’s pieces like the pouldrons and sandles don’t work as well confirmed to the figure in DAZ Studio, so I parented them to the figure. The pose is from the M5 Poses: 03 Sword, a Genesis Michael V5 pose set that I transferred to Victoria V4 using PoseMaster for DAZ Studio. Share This Post: Bookmark on Delicious Digg this...
“Hikone Castle (彦根城 Hikone-jō?) is an Edo period castle in the city of Hikone, in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. It is considered the most significant historical building in Shiga. Hikone is one of only 12 Japanese castles with the original keep, and one of only four castles listed as a national treasure.” I needed a castle for a graphic novel and came upon just a few, this one, of Hikone Castle, was the cheapest (at Renderosity, as I saw the same exact mesh for 3ds Max at $75.00). There were a few materials I needed to figure out and fix as the model is for Poser 5 and up and I am...

“The best manga style shaders for DAZ Studio.” Finally! A cartoon/manga style shaders for DAZ Studio that really work! Here are two examples of what I was able to achieve since purchasing these shaders yesterday. DAZ Studio comes with toon style shaders, but I, and many others, have never really used them as the results you achieve with them will never give you the style of cell shading as the Manga Style Shaders will. To be frank, looking at what I was able to achieve with the DAZ Toon shaders was like looking at my renders through a prism! Checkout the documentation here on the...
“Heroes are those who defend their country against tyranny, not be the instruments of it.” Here’s my first freebie. A set of DAZ Studio 4.5 material preset settings for Xurge 3D’s FlexxSuit for M4-H4. These material presets will not work with DAZ Studio versions lower than DAZ Studio 4.5, and, of course, you will need to own the FlexxSuit for M4-H4. The FlexxSuit was made for Poser not DAZ Studio, which is why when you load it in DAZ Studio many of the settings do not get set and the displacement map is not even loaded. The displacement map is very important, without...

“Archon1 is a large deep space science vessel,capable of landing on a small planet.” We all know where the design inspiration for this space ship model originated from, the USCSS Prometheus! — An FTL (faster than light)-capable Space Exploration Vehicle. Archon1 isn’t the Prometheus, and I am glad, as it is just an “inspired by derived work,” so we can all go crazy rendering with it for commercial purposes to our hearts content. I really do like this ship, it has a charm of its own and I was able to do a few renders with it that were very good. In this render...

Hi, I’m Delphi (or nDelphi).
Welcome to Beam Me Up! My DAZ Studio and Poser 3D Art Blog, where I show off my stunning 3D art and scenes created with the help of DAZ Studio and Poser.
