Now the character is setup with Daz shaders which will give a higher render quality. You
might want to save the character setup or the scene so that next times you won't have to
do the setup again.
Applying poses is very easy: just select the "
Panthera Tigris
" figure and apply any pose
you like.
Full body morphs are available in the "Panthera Tigris" Body Parameter Panel.
There are also independent Claws Off morphs available for each foot.
Note
: due to the high number of polygons, it may be convenient to hide the fur, pose the
character, and make the fur visible just at render time.
Also, if Daz Studio interface is particularly slow when handling or tweaking materials or
posing, please switch off "Display Optimization" in the program preferences.
Rendering tips
: if you experience 3Delight render errors, or out of resource errors, please
use 3Delight in "deferred mode". Check this easy guide that will teach you, step by step,
how to render your scene just like you would do in Poser Queue Manager:

Best quality renders are obtained using the following settings:
- Max RayTrace Depth: 8
- 16 pixel samples
- Min shading rate: 0.20
Displacement mapping is particularly useful when doing close-up renders, but if the
character is reasonably far from the camera viewpoint you might want to decrease it's
value or even disable it.
To do that, select the Body Material, open the Shader Mixer, click the menu item File-
>From Scene->Ok and tweak displacement values as you wish.
I found out that in the
Displace-Standard Brick
, a value range of [-0.50 0.50] is perfect for
close-ups, and [-0.10 0.20] is the best when the figure cover the whole render area.
That's pretty much it, if you need further assistance or suggestions, or you have questions
