yep ,thats right, even tho i have used daz since it came out, i am still feeling that im not that good  :P and i feel i am very limited when it comes to postworking, since im on a mac, and dont own a pc with  windows on it. so the  only program i have, is gimp.  and  im wondering, are there other good paint programmes out there? free perhaps?? and anyone have a good tut on postworking on a 3d image?:P and any tips on, say lighting, posing, etc??
 thnx for looking, 

ANY feedback is nice :)

Get Photoshop for Mac, first of all.  Gimp is ok but for fine postworking you'll need a different program with a lot more capabilities.

I, too, have used Studio since it was in Beta testing and I've never been a fan of the renders.  This is primarily due to the lighting limitations.  I have, probably, a thousand different lights for Poser but they don't work the same in Studio so about the only thing I do in Studio now is test my product packages and run Shader Spider to save the materials in Studio format.

I don't know if there are any free programs like Photoshop for Mac.  IMHO, if there are, they won't have all the functions that Photoshop does.  Of course, since I work on a PC I don't have a lot of experience with Mac software but I do know that Adobe has Photoshop for Mac but I don't know the price point.

thanx for the input ,i just did a search and ended up at about dot com, and found a trial proggie for mac :) and it s wonderful! 

Happy to help.

 lets see. right now ,im testing different filters and lighting in this 2d program , and its looking better so far. so now ,all i have to do is to find a nice lights tut for daz :) or just try and test :)
 and wishing i stillll had my other pc so i could use poser lol

if you join your local community college you might able to purchase the student license. Its full up just less expensive.

 ahaa. well lets see,  here where i live,thers no such thing :S
 there are schools, but not any that does that sort of thing, so im stuck with the trial .i live in kongsberg, in norway sooo,not too many ppl who use 3d programs .hehe. but if i could, i would :D ..besides, after all my bills r payed, i only have enuff to buy food .:P
 but still, im gonna look for more free programs :)

Taking a look at your gallery I could debate with you on the "not that good" part. You've done some very nice work. I've seen several artists that get amazing results out of Gimp so an expensive 2D editor might not be the solution rather than getting a better understanding of the one you have. Are there any specific postwork techniques you want to learn it might be good to ask on a board where there are more experienced Gimp users.

One product I can reccomend for D|S artists wanting to enhance their postwork is Dreamlight's Surface Mask Creator. It really opened my mind to postwork and what could be achieved. This product has some decent documentation on how to set up and use masks in Gimp too.

Learning how to manipulate layers and blending modes is also important and can yield quick and amazing results. Practicing and testing is absolutely priceless.

 it looks very kool, but as of now, i can oonly use what i can find for free, since im too broke :P
always ,bills n bills to pay. hehe. but thnx for the link :)
