Come learn the art of 3D computer generated art and animation. This blog deals with the lessons learned and the art created by Robert G. Male using DazStudio from Daz3D.
Also covered are the ancillary software, tools, techniques, and processes needed both before and after rendering in the 3D software.

What looks like a bat, lives in places like a bat, but is a very different animal? That is the question that occurs when considering the Daasandara. It has the membranous wings rather than arms. Wings like that are conducive to wrapping around the creature when sleeping, providing warmth and shelter in the cold darkness. Bats tend to sleep hanging upside down by their feet. It's not a difficult proposition given their size and weight. The Daasandara though is larger, bulkier, and therefore heavier. This was one factor in deciding on something different, and minimally less bat-like. The tentacle hands on the fifth digit of the wings lack the requisite strength to allow it to sleep upside down. The tentacles on the creature's back, toward the top, are more than strong enough.
Beyond that requirement those long, thick tentacles allow the Daasandara to work with tools and manipulate objects with the tentacles hands while suspended. Here the creature's form and the different parts' functions impact the situations of the creatures' daily lives. This will dictate their habitat and ultimately the architecture of their homes and places of work. These details will inform other details such as their general social structures, interaction with other friendly species, and how they go about making war on their enemies. Just as peacetime endeavours are important so are wartime effects such as tactics and strategies that are apart of the game setting to which the Daasandara belong. Everything needs to, and will be connected and tied together for coherency.
