Just downloaded Daz and suddenly feel bad for all the "awful renders" comments to the games I left. Judge me harshly.
What are some of the best 101 guides for a total novice?
I give you a short guide.
Step 1: Start the Studio
Step 2: Go nuts, try every button and break things
Step 3: Try to remember what you have broken and try to break the exact same things as efficiently as possible
Step 4: Now google for tutorials on subjects you still don't understand
Step 5: Buy a second-hand camera with at least an MFT or APS-C sensor.
Step 6: Repeat Step 1 to 4 but for photography
The rest is depending on the goals you want to achieve.
