Daz 3D/Poser Welcome & Intro Thread

[CCCC]

Hi guy's getting back in the scene of Daz after a few years of absence, can't wait to get back on it... and actually i have a quick question... i did not have time to test as i recover my old library only yesterday from old backup and was wondering if the stuff i had in the old day's for like Victoria will actually work on the g8 model or the bone and everything have change too much sorry if it's seam a retard question but been a while... not sure it's the right place to ask either but anyhow happy to have found this forum and see that the crowd from KAT did not disappear

Short answer, no.  Most stuff won't work without intervention but you can get scripts that convert V4 poses to G3 and then get another one to convert them to G8.  You can get a fit controller script to convert clothing to G3 from V4.  So there are converters out there and available that get you 90% plus of the way there.  You still have to tinker with it in a lot of cases.

Just saying hello

Dabbled with Poser some years ago but found it very difficult to grasp, then I found Daz, just about getting to grips with it. Problem is with all the downloads available I tend to spend more time installing stuff and organising my library than creating anything, plus my graphics card is a bit long in the tooth so I find rendering a pain in the proverbial.

Hope to become quite an active member here (mainly to pick up tips)

Here's one of my better renders so far:

Hello, I thought I should introduce myself ! Man this place is interesting!

[MasterXL6]

Same for me, been a couple of years since I used Poser, had a HDD crash and lost everything.
Time to see what has evolved since, and put my new i7 to work

[rippedup]

I finally have gotten my act together and got an account here.
Thanks to all for sharing information and sites.
I want to contribute but it seems that nobody uses the actual torrents any more - can i pm files or something to put them up on other sites?

So is this where everyone ended up?

Good evening all (well it is at the moment), I'm happy to see some KAT users have found a new home, I thought I'd join you if that's OK. I mainly use DAZ3D but occasionally Poser, which I'm not so keen on.
If it's any use to anyone I still have hundreds of torrent files that date back probably 3 or 4 years, a lot of them may well be dead in the water now but having tried a few of them after losing some stuff I was pretty surprised how much of the stuff is still around if you're patient enough to wait. I've also got a whole heap of stuff sitting around on disc too, I'm not saying I'll have everything everyone needs but if you want something in-particular it might be worth asking and I'll search to see if I can help.

I'm just an old fart trying to learn a new trick as a hobby. Daz seemed like a good place to start with animation.
