Daz Studio: Noir Shaders

Below is a very interesting video tutorial on how to use shaders to achieve the high-contrast Sin City look used by Frank Miller. For those of you not really into 3D, shaders provide the texturing information that provide information about color, reflectiveness, transparency and stuff like that.

This requires the use of the Visual Style Shaders by DraagonStorm and TheNathanParable. I will be experimenting with these shortly.

Poser & Daz Comic Links

A while back, I enjoyed a great online Webinar about using 3D tools to create comics. It was really one of the most informative Webinars I've ever attended.

Another blogger has gone through it and written up 10 tips from the show, and they can be found here: http://www.jurn.org/dazposer/?p=5496 and you can find a link to the Webinar here: http://www.jurn.org/dazposer/?p=5482

A link to the actual presentation can be found here (but it has lousy audio, whereas the live event had good audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql9OOKgeCII
I think this is a longer version of the same show, with still-bad audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ub1CKSKN6U
Slightly better audio on the Concrete Park segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ub1CKSKN6U

Here's another link to a tutorial by Brian Haberlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqDY9_dYOVY
