Renderotica

well I do not use DAZ Studio  But as a Poser user for some 18 years now I have run into many mishaps

I just finished a story and upon review  discovered that the nipple studs I had parented to my V4 base had moved on several shots

When you are in the biz as long as I have been you learn certain tricks and most of the time you can fix errors in post work and all my images go through post work no matter how they look.  using smoothing tools to hide the shaft between the tips of the  studs I simply copied and pasted the ends as best I could on either side of the nipples and it worked quite well

Now I use a very old version of Photo shop lite and it is the only reason I keep my 12 year windows XP PC running Now if it were me, I would create some lashes buy doing a copy and paste of the male lashes and then reduce them in size and then paste them as best I can.  there are some free Post work tools like Gimp.. 

As to clothing issues if one is wearing a suit, go ahead amd morph the jacket and pants and where every there is a poke through, Simply Hide that part of the Base figures anatomy.

If one is wearing a buttoned at the collar shirt and tie, you can hide the chest, abs, hips, left and tight collars and shoulders and maybe for the suit pants the thighs and shins

I do the same with a suit I have in poser every part of the base figure is hidden under the suit except the Hands Neck and Head 

I know it can be done in DAZ studio as I gave the same advice to someone who had a rather muscular chap in a turtle neck sweater

there used to be a time when you could contact the vendor who made the props.

I still have props I own through DAZ and there was a time when a Vendor made some skin overlays using a python script in Poser.

The item was one lck wounds for V4 and M4 and at the time it worked great in poser pro 12   Then when Poser pro 2014 came out the product ni longer worked,  but DAz had a vendor contact page and several buyers where able to contact this vendor for the One click wounds and a couple other  items he created and hw rewrote the script to work with Pro 2014   He also said that this was a single obligation on his part and if other version of Poser where to alter the python scripting again

 

So get with daz and see it hey will let you contact the vendor

Been there. A lot of mistakes can be fudged in post work, but it's not fun. I try and do low res test renders, and then scrutinize the scene to make sure everything is ok before I set up the final. Sounds like you are very ambitious, that's good. It drives you to grow and do more complex work. But I sometimes find the first and least fussed over pose or morph can, in retrospect, look best. That's the real frustration for me. Or that the Iray view in the program looks better than the final render you painstakingly sweat over and make sure mimics all the settings in the prerender. It's just the way it is.

Also, if you know that it will be a multiple render shot, make sure you set up a base scene and save that, possibly even in a different place, just to be sure. Save each separate render and name them clearly to avoid accidental overwriting. With huge scenes I additionally take notes to keep track of props, hairs, etc.

Hope this helps.
