Description
Not a fancy render, more of a test.
I decided Jacob needed his arch-nemesis, so I bought anewman's Edward mats and morphs today. I've been eyeballing it for a long while.
Let me just say right now that I'm the one that screwed up. I admit it. I can't read.
It fairly and clearly stated on the product page that Edward was for use in Daz Studio (which I don't use and don't have loaded), but I naively thought it would work in Poser so I nabbed it without giving it a second thought. Duh - different file formats for the morphs. Didn't work. I'm a dunce. You know me by now...I just saw him and said "WANT!" without thinking.
Anyhoo, I went to Daz, downloaded the free Daz Studio, a Daz-to-Poser morph converter, reinstalled the M4 base and ++ morphs, but just couldn't get anything to work at all. I don't know what I did wrong, but I massacred it. Daz Studio is now lying in a horrific tangled mass in my recycle bin. I'm going to go outside in the backyard and bury tomorrow before the neighbors get suspicious of the smell.
So I got aggravated enough with DS to just try and make my own Edward face in Poser using some photographs as a reference. This is the result. The materials are anewman's, and I'm pleased with them. Glad I got it. Good stuff. This is the non-shimmery mat, by the way. Haven't tried the shimmery one yet.
So that's my painful story of spending all day long fighting Daz Studio and ending up defeated. Alas.
That's how much I care about pretty-boy renders, folks. I fight and fight and fight. And then I eventually learn a new skill. Necessity is the mother of invention.

I think it still turned out good. I like the slight shadows on the floor where they're standing at. If they have some kind of interaction it will look more perfect but otherwise, it is a good render. I've never tried DAZS either, hope your neighbors won't call 911 for the smell or else you're in big trouble. ;-)

I have made the same mistake! Recently, I purchased two hair styles at DAZ because I liked they way they looked and the price was right, and not looking at the specs. I downloaded them and tried installing them into poser only to find out in rapid order they only work in carrarra. I quickly sent off a request to DAZ to see if they would give me store credit for the two products since I don't have carrarra and don't plan on getting it any time soon (too pricey). The promptly gave me the credit, with no hassles. I was very pleased with their service. As to this render, I think you have succeeded quite nicely. The wolfman justs keeps getting better and better and better.... Good luck covering up the suspicious smell!

Yeah, the folks at Daz are really nice. I use Daz products almost exclusively.

It seemed to work out just the same we all get the eyes are bigger than the belly effect as I put it Ha! Awesome shadowing and poses just the same!!

Yes pretty boys are indeed the mother of invention. I use DAZ Studio because I can't afford Poser, but there is a learning curve. I ordered the book "Figures, Characters and Avatars" which included Caffara 6 and Hexagon 2.5 which I hope will help me to learn more. Anyway, that's a nice render.

I will say this, Daz figures look more realistic in Daz Studio with less tweaking, in my opinion. I haven't figured out how to get the textures to look quite as nice in Poser. Also, sometimes the morphs aren't quite the same. The "Stratus" morphs for Hiro 3 (which I used to use all the time) look really, really realistic in Daz, but the eyes don't look quite right in Poser. Oh well.
