I am the author Lyle Aryn. Writing is my first love, my one true passion. Every since I was able to string a sentence together, it's all I've wanted to do. Websites where you can find my work and more are below.
I started using Daz Studio October 23rd of 2018, just as something to dink around with. I'd been signed up with the sight for a while, and would occasionally remember to check for freebies. I was surprised at what I had when I finally loaded up the program. I just started playing around with it, figuring it out. I'd say about 92% of what I've learned in the program I've learned just by playing around with it.
In December I went from being a dutiful son looking after his mom, to the full-time, no nights or weekends off, caretaker of my Mom. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder or two, this change has had a drastic impact on my own personal care and well-being. I turned to my blossoming love of doing digital art as a way to cope with the mountains of stress on my shoulders. I do miniature painting, too. But when you haven't slept in 4 days, handling a brush can be very messy. Not being able to paint to my own personal satisfaction was making this avenue of relaxation increasingly frustrating.
Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.
As my skill with the program grows, so does my confidence. I did the cover to my fifth novel, "Because the Night" using Daz Studio, as well as new covers for two previous releases. (Though they haven't been updated just yet.)
I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different.

Quite the acrobatic pose. Cool scene also.
LyleAryn

This really came out nicely!
LyleAryn
Yep. wolandepiphanius had a similar idea. His came our really good, too.

Awesome! Four hours to get it right, eh? I admire your persistence.
In the course of testing and retesting, learning dForce and its oddities, it's most often the hair that makes things a bit squiffy. But, then, handstands... didn't really test for that! Even I am amazed it worked...
Thanks again for pushing the boundaries! Most appreciated my friend.
LyleAryn
Not only that, but the starting pose WASN'T upside down. There's 180 degrees of rotation in starting from memorized pose.
I'm still curious why it went perfect that first time, but then wouldn't every time after. Maybe it's a sign that I better hurry up and get the new PC, lol. I'm thinking some of the dforce explosions might simply be from a lack of processing power.
Though it is a 6-core processor in this one. :(
Anyway, I really like the energy in this one. Nepher always strikes me as sassy. I've loaded her a couple times, then had to switch models because she was too sassy for the scene I was working on. So I'm glad this one worked out for her.
The hair in this one, was one of Out Of Touche's. (Everyday Updo 2) The subD, if it doesn't match the SubD on the character, will cause the cap to poke through and make these angry black lines on the forehead. It's annoying. On Nepher, even matching SubD levels wasn't getting rid of the lines. Soooo naturally I added a dForce hair instead, lol.

Very nice sport, moreover it is a very good idea. Good job.
LyleAryn
Thanks! I think between me and wolandephinus, we got the upside-down shots taken care of.

excellent
LyleAryn
Thank you so much!
wolandepiphanius
Nice! You beat me to it. I didn't do a handstand though, I did a hanging upside down thing.
LyleAryn
It looks great, too! I enjoyed it. This shirt works better than some of the stuff produced in-house at Daz.

Nicely done!
LyleAryn
Thanks!

That's what makes this stuff fun - and frustrating.... I've had some things I've tried take hours, even days. I've been to that spot many times where I've done everything short of sacrificing small mammals to the Computer Gods... And the only reason I never went that far was because those squirrels are jut too damn fast... 😆
Anyway, you've really done an awesome job on this. Your efforts were well worth the final outcome. And the squirrels are all still OK, I'm assuming... LOL
LyleAryn
It would be a betrayal of my "Squirrel Whisperer" mug to cause harm to my little tree-bound friends! Rest assured, they are quite safe.
Blue jays on the other hand...
(No animals were sacrificed in the making of this image)

To bad she had a under garment on. But then again, that did save you one naughty flag mark against your permanent record. Well done and quite fun.
LyleAryn
I almost left it off, but then I figured it was kinda better with it. More of a "candid" thing, right? Not saying that ladies don't go around with undergarments, but still.

Your persistence has been rewarded with a very impressive finish here. Lovely work! Oh, I cannot speak for simulated poses over 180 degrees but I do know that when I left the hair invisible, the simulation behaved itself. Terrific!
LyleAryn
Def! Never forget to turn off the hair! Thanks for your remarks!
dakotajaroo
beautiful acrobatics, luckily she doesn't have a dress
LyleAryn
I'm both intrigued by the challenge, and groaning on the inside... Hmmm.... Maybe another day!
Thanks for the feedback!
