Welcome, G3Renderworks!

As part of our Welcome Series, we sat down with G3Renderworks to talk about their products and creative process, Make sure to check out their catalog here!

1. To start things off, could you introduce yourself to the community? What first inspired you to become a creator for Daz Studio?

Hello! I'm G3Renderworks, just what I would consider a bit of a hobbyist in this space. I kind of wanted to see what went on behind the scenes which is why I taught myself to make a few types of products. Making billboards also gives me an excuse to keep hoarding new stuff.

2. Looking through your catalog, it's clear your work focuses on helping artists build complete, believable worlds rather than simply creating individual assets. Was developing scene-building tools always your vision, or did you discover along the way that this became your creative niche?

I think like most people, I started by creating characters. It was kind of fun but a very saturated area. I started looking at all the stuff in my library and thought it would be cool to use them for billboards. They ended up being well received so I just kept at it with a few deviations along the way.

3. Your billboard collections have become the foundation of your catalog. For artists who may be unfamiliar with this type of product, what first inspired you to specialize in billboard packs, and what do you think makes them such a valuable resource for scene creation?

First is was just about using more of the products that I had in my library. However, I also like to play visual novel games and noticed quite a few of them would use black silhouettes in the background if they had background characters at all. There are some quality billboards on the official shop but they're quite pricey. I decided to see if I could offer something just as good but at a more reasonable price.

I think they really help add life and interest to scenes where you would expect more to be going on besides a sole focus on one or two characters.

4. One thing that stands out is how thoughtfully your billboard collections are organized into themes, from modern life and fantasy settings to other specialized environments. When planning a new pack, do you begin by imagining the type of scene you want to help artists create, or do the individual characters naturally evolve into a themed collection over time?

Themes usually come to me while I'm playing a game or watching a movie and I'll jot down notes to work with later on. I'll also occasionally get a suggestion from the community. As a matter of fact, I'm working on a new pack with a "reaction" theme. This came about from a thread on Renderotica; the community is very helpful!

5. While billboard products make up much of your catalog, you've also created a number of character and shape products. How does your creative mindset change when you're designing a character that's meant to be the focal point of a render versus one that's intended to become part of a larger crowd?

Character creation is much more involved and I would very much consider myself an amature in that regard. Like the billboards, I tend to get inspired by a game or movie and I'll do my best to gather references together to help with the sculpt whereas the billboards get put together with loose ideas.

6. Your catalog offers both complete character packages and standalone shape products, giving artists the flexibility to either use a fully realized character or build one using their own favorite skins and materials. What inspired you to create both types of products, and what do you enjoy most about each creative process?

With the full characters, I usually had a certain look I wanted to recreate. However, not being a texture artist, I had to rely on merchant resources for the skin, eyes, etc. which could be limiting and also expensive if the character ended up not selling. I eventually jumped to just making shapes, which I kind of treat like a sketch that's perfect for someone else to paint over. I think I enjoy the shapes more because they are less defined and more flexible.

7. Many people assume billboard products are simply flat images, but each figure is carefully rendered from multiple viewing angles so they blend naturally into a three-dimensional environment. What are some of the biggest artistic or technical challenges involved in creating billboard assets that remain convincing from so many perspectives?

I'm not sure how others do it but I render mine from 17 different angles. My biggest nemesis is poke through that sometimes doesn't show in the Iray preview. If it's not something I can fix in post then that's another set of renders that has to be done. The fun part is definitely putting the characters together but it's a fairly tedious process after that creating all the masks and presets.

8. Whether you're creating billboards, characters, or morphs, every artist eventually develops a signature style. If someone came across one of your creations without seeing your name attached, what details would you hope immediately make them think, "That's a G3Renderworks product"?

I'm not sure. One thing that I do that doesn't seem common doesn't involve the creation itself but the packaging. I go out of my way to create a file that is fully compatible with Daz Install Manager and Smart Content so you get something just like you would from the official store.

---

9. If someone is discovering G3Renderworks for the very first time, which product would you recommend they start with, and what makes it the best introduction to your work?

Well outside of whatever billboard pack would best suit a scene I think my Sign Props and Poses set could be kind of fun. I included templates so people could make their own signs and I'd love to see what people come up with.

10. Looking ahead, are there any new themes, environments, character concepts, or product ideas you're excited to explore in future releases? Is there something you've always wanted to create but haven't had the opportunity to tackle yet?

As mentioned above, I am working on those "reaction" billboards which is turning out to be fun to do because of the expressions. That should be out fairly soon. I'd love to create my own comic or visual novel at some point but ideas are hard! As for a regular product, maybe some type of environment set but I definitely need to hone my 3D skills first though.

11. Finally, is there anything you'd like to say to the community as you join the CGBytes marketplace?

Thank you for having me and don't be afraid to throw some suggestions my way.
