My Bio

Welcome. At 2023 I'm most interested in how to have 3D software produce non-photoreal renders (NPR). This means renders that are 'believable' as 2D hand-made art, even to experienced comics-readers and to fellow digital artists. Or which can be made so, after tickling with a little Photoshop or other software. As you might expect, this takes a lot of experimentation and painstaking learning!



In 2023 I'm also testing out some AI images, as is everyone. One day I'll learn to paint properly, and have loads of ideas from all these pre-selected AIs!



Please see my Patreon page for more details about my many interests and projects. You can find me at Patreon .com at /davehaden - and every little helps.



Over the years I haven't treated DeviantArt as any kind of comprehensive repository of my work, and nor have I regularly 'worked DA' as some people do (expect for keeping up with my 1,000 or so 'Favourites'). Thus - if you care to scroll back past the more recent AI art - you don't see all my visual work here at DeviantArt. Just the sort of thing that may interest the regular type of DA member.



Main frequent-use graphics software:



| Adobe Photoshop and plugins | PaintStorm (best digital painter) | Poser 11 ('3D to 2D' comics/sketch) | DAZ Studio (photoreal 3D rendering, it's free) | E-on Vue (3D landscapes with lush atmospheres) | Microsoft Expression Designer (lag-free vector inking, it's free) | PhotoScape (general image utility, it's free) | Microsoft ICE (picture stitcher, it's free) | Topaz Gigapixel AI (upscale pictures) | and many others, less used.

Three free ways to use the free Intel OIDN denoiser, on a desktop PC with DAZ Studio or Poser 11: 1. Inside DAZ Studio, run on the renders from the stack - https://www.deviantart.com/mcasual/art/denoise-images-using-Intel-tm-Open-Image-Denoise-802556617 2. Standalone with batch processing, but uses an older version of OIDN - https://github.com/chr-9/oidn-gui 3. Standalone with drag-and-drop, uses latest OIDN version, but has no batch - https://github.com/DeclanRussell/IntelOIDenoiser/releases Poser 12 / 13 and 'subscription Vue' users don't need these, as they already have OIDN built-in to the render process. OIDN is the best, because Intel trained it specifically to clear the grain and fireflies from 3D renders. It means you can do fast and somewhat grainy renders, clear the grain with OIDN, and thus save a whole lot of render time.
