Why Can A 3D Creature Be Created And Rendered Fast



I really love CGI in movies. I'm a bit of a tech freak, and I love to watch a 3D creature laying waste to civilization.


I love it so much that I made my own 3D creatures. I make them using the software and 3D content at DAZ 3D.


Nothing could be easier and more efficient. The software that I render my 3D creature is multi core enabled, which means it will use every core you have on your computer to get the job done quickly.




This is a professional feature that at one time would cost a lot of money for you to do at a render farm, or on a high end software.


My 3D creature is also quickly, and easily created using pre-made human  CGI geometry that only requires a morph to be added to it, like a body shape, or head shape to create your own unique characters.


This means to create a 3D creature you just have to select the base model, and then add the accompanying morph, or shapes, or combining morphs and shapes, from other sets, that you can download from the content library.


This means that you can probably create just about any 3D creature that you can imagine.


Combining this easy and quick style of model making, with multi core rendering, empowers  you to  create your own 3D movies with very little skill..


I'm talking about movies of the highest quality that you can imagine. This is not amateur hour, but more of a professional approach, and what’s even better, an inexpensive approach to completing your own productions for CGI.


Some of the base 3D creatures that come with the creature creator kit are the undead like zombies, aliens, goblins, demons with horns, all that kind of creepy cool characters.


You do not have to be satisfied with just one of these creatures you can combine these creatures as well, to create your own unique creatures of the Black Lagoon for example, whatever your heart desires.


They also come with different materials like fur, scales, and zombie skin, which covers your creatures in great detail.


You also get the low-res morphs, and the HD or high definition more detail morphs, which you can combine to create the most realistic cinema ready 3D creatures from DAZ 3D.


So whatever the project you have you can create animate and render fast!

Why Is The Quickest Way To Create A 3D Virtual World Is With DAZ Studio?

The simple answer is: with one click add an entire 3D Virtual World into the scene or stage. Lots of environment packs come with presets, which effortlessly add an entire modular scene with one action.

Nothing could be easier and more efficient.

It takes just a few seconds to add an entire scene. Another way is to build the virtual world, all the model parts, from scratch, using Carrara, or Hexagon.
Then go through the process of importing it into DAZ Studio. This might sound complicated but it's not. Creating your own 3D virtual world is a lot more work, and will require a certain level of skill, but will be very satisfying.
I started out simple, creating basic rock shapes to eventually building complex models. The tools in Hexagon are simple to learn, but can construct complicated and dynamic geometry without you doing all the work.

To give you an idea of the power delivered in this inexpensive 3D modeling software Hexagon has a wide palette of tools, but not an excessive amounts.

The thing that I love about it is that it is relatively simple to learn, and the 3D modeling tools are specific and easy to find, and use. Many more expensive software solutions have too many tools that I never use.
I love box modeling and Hexagon offers a simple but powerful subdivision tool, so I can add instant smoothness to me 3D virtual world models with a single click.
It also offers Spline tools and surface tools. It also has great UV unwrapping tools and a selection of 3D painting tools. Another cool thing is the ability to paint in displacement, or what is called 3D sculpting mode.
This makes Hexagon great for organic modeling. It even has  ambient occlusion in preview. This is one of my favorite and efficient tools for creating my 3D Virtual worlds fast. Exporting is easy and can be done in several standard formats.
Getting custom models into DAZ Studio can be a process, and that is for a different blog post.
But whether you want to start a new life as a 3D artist creating virtual worlds, or you are only interested in creating your won 3D art, DAZ 3D is without a doubt the place to start! Ever since I started I have become a best-selling 3D artist.
I think anyone can do this. It is satisfying and fun, and an amazing journey into the beautiful world of 3D. Give it a try...
