Chapter 1. Quick Start – Our First 3D Scene

While preparing for a real-life photo shoot, let's say a fashion shoot, a photographer will have to hire a model, pose her in front of a background, position some lights, and then take a few photos. This workflow is pretty much what we will follow to create a scene in DAZ Studio, except that we will work with 3D objects. These objects have been designed by 3D modelers and are prepared in a way that Studio can easily add them to a scene. Because these are 3D objects, instead of simple bidimensional images, we can move around them and photograph them from any point of view. Welcome to the fascinating world of 3D art!

In this chapter you will learn the following topics:

  • Adding a human figure to the scene
  • Positioning the camera
  • Moving objects in the scene
  • Rendering an image
