Meshology – The Study of Digital Art

Changes to Meshology.guru

Hello all customers…

No doubt, if you tried to access Meshology.guru, you were redirected to this page and are wondering why.

We here at Meshology have spent a great deal of time, debating over the last few months, where our time is best spent, and we’ve decided that Meshology excels at creating the tutorials and content that you request.

As a small business, you can imagine trying to monitor several sites, as well as innumerable social platforms, with new ones being created each month, monopolizing your time answering questions, let alone posting new content as well as researching and creating new product for sale.

For this reason, we have decided to close down Meshology.guru and run any new articles through this site, Meshology.ca as well as posting on YouTube and our Facebook account.

We will no longer be offering the free tutorials for download through this site, however they are available for free on our YouTube channel and hope that you take the time to subscribe to it as this is where new content and teasers will be based. Please note that there are several “Meshology” sites on YouTube but this link is the only one where new content will be.

You know you have the right site if you see our new teaser for over eight hours of tutorial called Killer Lighting — Lighting for Photorealistic Renders.

For those of you that purchased the tutorial with the bonus download key, that bonus content is now downloadable with the tutorial through Daz3D.com, so be sure to check your library for it there.

We thank you for your patronage and will continue to answer your questions through Facebook and YouTube.

Sincerely — Meshology

Killer Lighting — Lighting for Photorealistic Renders

Have you ever rendered a scene in Daz Studio and wondered where the light’s coming from? How to control it? Make it brighter or darker? Moody, sultry, full of action, emotes feeling? Of course you have. That’s the reason most of us are creating digital artwork!

Once we have the pose right, the scene set, the characters in place, clothed, makeup applied, hair coiffed just so, sultry expression, it’s time to bring the scene to life, and you can’t do that without light and — a key ingredient in John’s technique — shadows. Light focusses our attention on the key shapes in a scene – such as sensuous curves — and shadows give definition and depth. Without good lighting your renders will be flat, unappealing or worse, the same default lighting used by Daz beginners.

Daz Studio Not Responding

I recently had to rebuild my system (Windows 10 with an i9 CPU) and took the opportunity to load only the software that I use on a regular basis… Daz Studio included.

I keep all my software on a small-ish SSD for loading and access speed, and no other content.

How and Why We Classify Tutorial Levels

We classify all our tutorials so the Users know how complex the knowledge is that we present.

It doesn’t mean that a new user couldn’t follow a Master tutorial, only that strict attention to detail should be observed.
