Description:
With so many joints to control in a 3D character, producing your own successful poses can feel quite daunting. Poses can make or break an image since with one glance we can see if something in the posture does not look natural!
To tackle posing challenges, it is very worth gaining a thorough understanding of the controls available in DAZ Studio as well as absorbing some background on anatomy and body language. Mary Wright (Quixotry) shares her valuable experience of creating many successful pose sets sold in the DAZ 3D store. In this workshop learn ideas for generating a good posing workflow, overcome trials with posing the more difficult parts of the body, examine posing case studies and study how to set up, save and package poses to share with other artists.
