This means you can compose a picture with the main subject in the frame as you want it, and then experiment with the perspective to get a more dynamic or interesting image.

This effect, as a moving image, was originally seen in Alfred Hitchcocks 1958 film Vertigo where the camera lens zoomed in as the dolly moved back, and is known as a dolly zoom.

Instructions for use: Select a loaded camera from the drop-down list in the dialog box, and move the slider to adjust the Focal Length, Focal Distance and camera position simultaneously.

A toolbar option is available to enable you to use the Perspective Control at any time without having to navigate to its Library folder.

In this case, we can add the Mesh Smoothing function from within Daz Studio.

These are the things that may not be readily apparent (especially to a beginner), but were extremely useful for creating great renders.

Following, I will list a set of common issues I encountered, and then discuss useful tips and tricks that I found within Daz Studio, to solve them.

Dealing with Poke Through in Clothing One common problem in 3D-posing software is that depending on pose, the body of our figure may sometimes poke through her clothing.

In addition, when a figure is wearing multiple layers of clothing, an inner shirt may poke through an outer vest or belt.

Similar poke through issues can also occur with hair and head-wear.

In the past, we deal with this issue by manually adjusting or enlarging various parts of our wardrobe.

Another technique is to make a body part that is fully covered, invisible.

For example, if our figures toe is poking through her boots, we may turn off the visibility of her entire foot.

In Daz Studio, we can address this thorny issue by using their collision detection function.

For example, in the screen-shot below, we have added some hair and clothing to our Olympia 6 figure.

Next, we select our clothing top (JGTop), and then click on the Parameters tab, which is right below the Scene tab.

On the Parameters screen, we want to select Mesh Smoothing, which is where the collision detection feature resides.

Note that Enable Smoothing must be on for collision detection to work.

We can then set the collision item and the number of collision iterations.

In the case of clothing, our collision item is usually our figure.

However, if we are wearing multiple layers of clothing, we can also set the collision item to be another piece of clothing.

For example, we may set the collision item of a belt to the pants, instead of to our base figure.

The default collision iterations of 3 usually works for most things, but if there is still poke through, we can try raising this figure to resolve it.

Most new clothing items already come with the Mesh Smoothing feature included.

However, for older pieces of clothing, it may not be present.
