Daz3d- 30+ days in Top 5 Tips & Tricks
I’ve been using Daz3d daily for the past 30+ days and still very much consider myself a beginner. Here are the top things that I’ve learned and/or found extremely useful. In no real particular order of importance: Sales- There’s always another saleDaz is really good about putting out some discount sales so I’m finding if I want something that is either not on sale or is slightly discounted-just wait. I don’t know if they do some weird statistic voodoo but pretty much every time I’ve said I’ll just wait the item I wanted ended up on sale the next day or so.

Excellent Tips on Lighting Darker Skin Tones by PetaPixel
One of the things I noticed about Insecure was how beautifully lit everything was all of the time. It was great to find this video that showed how intentional that was by Ava Berkofsky (Insecure’s Director of Photography). These days experimenting with color, skin tones, and lighting is something I’m having a lot of fun doing and even though the video linked is mainly about photography/cinematography I got a lot out of it as an artist. Another person that does an exceptional job of lighting darker skin is Eric Wilkerson.

Photoshop Tips & Tricks
I’m getting a head start on my 2019 resolution to ‘master’ Photoshop.

So with that in mind I’m going to be posting frequently a condensed-ish post with tips and tricks I am picking up and sharing them here.
