School:DAZ Studio/Storyboard

Rough Draft today

{| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
 * style="width: 40%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" |



Instructions for DAZ Studio
Soon, I will have more detailed instructions for using DAZ Studio to create storyboards.

DAZ Studio is free and works with many of the Poser Digital Puppets.
 * Comparison

FrameForge 3D Studio is not free and has very few figures to select from (without upgrading.)

However, DAZ Studio is still unfinished and awkward and FrameForge 3D Studio is designed specifically for creating 3D storyboards quickly and efficiently.


 * style="width: 60%; background-color: White; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 400px;" |



Create the image of the actors
First you create the image of the actors. This has an alpha channel which makes the characters visisble but the background invisible. That makes is easy to work with Photoshop or GIMP.

{| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
 * style="width: 40%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" |

Create the background
Next you create the background in GIMP or Photoshop. Photo to follow.


 * style="width: 60%; background-color: White; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 400px;" |

Sample photo to be put here shortly.
After you add the background and remove the alpha channel, save the image as a PNG file.
