Photorealism for a 3D character can provide a holy grail for some, but if the effect is slightly off, the look of a character can quickly become uncanny and creepy. In this community-based tutorial, we discuss important aspects and resources for your 3D characters in Daz Studio that can help you with photorealism.

Photorealism elements for characters include:
Skin
Eyes
Hair
Facial expressions
Lighting
Aging characters

The tutorial includes presentations from published artist Those Things, who developed the Vellus Horizon shader system, and MellissaGT, who created a workflow for “Making skin pop with the Daz Studio Iray Uber Shader.”
