It's easier to find a texturer than anything else, because that's one of the "entry level" jobs that requires mastery of fewer programs (there are texturers that are using projection painting and more advanced techniques, but they probably also have their own store already). If you want the money you're going to have to put in the time. The people that have the expertise also have a lot of projects of their own and not a lot of urge to split their earnings that far. Q: Can I get someone else to rig and render for Daz Studio for me so I can just keep working in the programs I already know?Ī: Probably not, or not at a quality level that will ensure success of your product. I am very available to new artists for this, here on dA and on the Daz forum and occasionally via email.

This is especially important because, owing to factors discussed below, documentation tends to be spotty and outdated, and directly asking how to do something is sometimes the fastest way to learn it.
You'll find other artists very ready to help you out with your learning process if you have a good attitude. If you inherently believe the program and engine to be inferior, you'll never do the work required to master it. What's the trick to getting in on this?Ī: Good luck. I've noticed people can make money with the inferior programs with which you work. Q: I work with Maya, 3ds Max, or another large mainstream application. I've dealt with the concept of postwork elsewhere. If it's clothing, does it work in all of the base poses that came with the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials (including sitting and kneeling)? Have you fixed pokethrough in those cases, and done JCM for the bends where needed? If it is poses, does the body clip itself anywhere, including on the hands and fingers? You need to test your items as much as possible. I used to say they'll work with you on functionality if the renders look great, but as of 2020 they'll actually reject a product that is already in testing if they feel that basic functionalities are lacking.

They will want to see wireframes with your promos to check your geometry, and the first level of scrutiny you have to pass will be an experienced industry pro looking at your promotional renders. If your product is good enough to look fabulous in renders, it might be good enough for Daz. If you don't have access to a computer that can do good promotional images, you will never get on at Daz3D. To really answer this, you need to be able to evaluate your own work objectively, and that is difficult for most people.ĭaz chooses new artists based mostly on their renders. It's not a bad idea to make 3d your hobby before you make it your job. You'll put in some long hours between two jobs at first, but you will be secure until your store is big enough to support you.
If you'd like to quit an existing job to work at Daz3D, it's best to start out doing both. These deadlines are entirely self-imposed, but they can still be very important because they determine when a product gets out, and timing of product releases affects income very directly. This is my job, and I do it for around 35-40 hours a week, jumping to 50 or so if I've got a big project deadline coming up. They don't make a full-time income, either. We do have hobbyist artists at Daz3D, for whom this is a second income. I've had my income go up and down by sometimes as much as $20,000 a year based on changes in our market and the US economy (we have customers everywhere, but the largest number are American).Ī: Not if you want to make a living. Save money, especially if you have children. I'm over six, but I'm not into the 1% category. Only a few top artists get into six figures in American dollars in our market, and they are the biggest names who sell the biggest products. For the most part you will make back according to the time you put in.
I also sell at Renderosity and on deviantart, but I would describe that as a "hobby" or "bonus" income it would be hard to do without it, but it's not what pays the rent every month, either. I have a lightly used car that's paid off and I own my own three-bedroom home in a high-income part of the country.
I'm putting these down in the order they are usually asked, not in the order I think they should be asked.Ī: I make a good living for the Western USA selling in the Daz market. I'm writing this journal entry so I can just link them back to it instead of typing the same post or forum PM repeatedly. Every so often someone asks if this is possible, how hard this is, and how to do it.
